My EBay Customer Service Experience

[MaGilicuti]

The AOL Instant Message Log you are about to read is real and is concerning an EBay auction won last night. The buyer, superc8640, contacted me earlier about sending the item out today and that the payment was already was on its way. As with all transactions of this sort I take the payment first. I told him this and he proceeded to instant message me and try to convince me otherwise. Even though it looks as if I was convinced otherwise in the log I was not. I just thought this would be interesting for some people to read. I actually deal with a lot of this kind of stuff. People asking to send for cheaper and what not. Anyway enjoy.

And please do not instant him or contact him of this log. Thanks

superc8640 [1:00 PM]: but it all works out
superc8640 [1:00 PM]: you believe in god?
superc8640 [1:01 PM]: jesus says work hard, be humble, enjoy fruits of labor.

I am Vitas [1:01 PM]: god didn't live in our times

superc8640 [1:02 PM]: his spirit still lives today, friend.

I am Vitas [1:02 PM]: i don't know

superc8640 [1:02 PM]: and as long as we keep him alive , we have a world under our feet

I am Vitas [1:04 PM]: we work hard and that's it

superc8640 [1:05 PM]: well, what i was gonna say is i will send you five dollars extra if you could just go ahead and send the reissue. it is that important to me to do this for this one child.
superc8640 [1:06 PM]: i know you don't know me, but i believe if you helped me, that you yourself will be rewarded for your kindness.
superc8640 [1:07 PM]: i understand. i have heard a lot of bs in my day, as well as you have.
superc8640 [1:08 PM]: but, in all honesty, helping someone, to me means as much as your way of life means to you so, hat do you say?

superc8640 [1:15 PM]: because it is the right thing to do

I am Vitas [1:15 PM]: i thought jesus said to be humble

superc8640 [1:15 PM]: yes, but greater power equals greater responsibility

I am Vitas [1:16 PM]: true but that has nothing to do with being humble

superc8640 [1:16 PM]: the humble part is the being unknown part. i do not advertise, just help

That guy is just plain wierd. If that is what I should expect if I ever get off my lazy ass and start selling all my extra shit - I might have to reconsider.

 

[MaGilicuti]

If the money actually comes in then he's weird cus was actually being truthful.
