So, I bid, and win!!! kewl for me...yeah RIGHT... They indeed ship it out and send a tracking number so that isnt the problem. IT shows up today in a Panasonic stereo box, all DUCT taped... I open it, and it is packed with freakin Newspaper shreadings, and a little piece of bubble wrap... I am thinking uh oh... so I turn off my work puter, plug it in, it has power, but no picture, I am so pissed at this point... So, I send them an email, and these two characters, who have a website and are supposedly loan officers or whatever, after they received my email, they tell me that they filed a claim with UPS, and that UPS is coming out to pick up the item(monitor) and inspect it... So I call UPS, they infact did not do that, they called up and had it filed as damaged goods, and was to be returned directly to them(Sellers), and not have it inspected. So I have now filed a claim with UPS, they are going to call me, I explained the situation to them...
here is what is racing through my head:
A) they were planning on having it shipped back to them and collect the extra $100 from UPS and not send me a refund(which is obvious) [/endrant]

Hope it makes sense, if it doesnt and is just stupid then delete it any thoughts or recommendations would be great...

Happy Birthday to me... YES DRAYU, I should have bought the one you sent me

I will be playing tonite as I need to relieve some major stress...
First off ..... don't blame ebay. Ebay is an awesome tool, but it CAN be "lethal" if not used correctly. I've got a little experience when it comes to problems with ebayers. I'd be glad to lend a hand if you need any suggestions. ..... just send me a pm or Yahoo IM if you want further details.
