I Hate eBay

But wait. Let me go off on a tangent before my rant. Today we were driving to the nursing home & I saw a sign. You know me. I wonder strange things. So the sign says, “Bridge – 10 tons.” Now what sort of sign is that? What are they trying to say? That the bridge weighs 10 tons? Like someone’s going to try to pick up the bridge? (Yeah, yeah, I know what it really means but you have to admit – that is worded so poorly.)

Now on to my rant. I’ve had an eBay account for years. I’ve bought things. I’ve sold stuff. I have a 100% positive rating. Then I lost my little security device for Paypal & eBay. This seems to be an issue because with the replacement I got and I can no longer log on to eBay. If I cannot log onto eBay, I cannot buy the wireless B usb adapter I need and I can’t seem to buy it in a store because it’s outdated. I need a freaking B one, damn it! Not G or N or whatever other letter of the alphabet they’re up to now because none of those will work with the Tivo. It has to be B.

It also seems every single employee of eBay is an idiot. I explained the problem to their live person. I was told it’s not their issue, it’s Paypal’s issue. Uh, no it’s not. It’s your website that’s telling me it’s an internal error, moron. Then I tried email. First I was told it was fixed. No, it’s not. Then I was told do this to get a new password. I don’t need a new password. The password works. Read the damn email I sent you.

End of rant.

    Also, not irrelevant — Ebay owns PayPal! I couldn’t log onto Ebay yesterday eitehr.

    I *think* we might have B. If so, you’re welcome to it once we move. We’re replacing our system when we move, so we won’t have any need for it. Here’s the catch though…I have to actually sell this house first.

    Yeah, Dave, how dumb was that when both companies are connected? My best guess is the people I dealt with – English isn’t their first language. I hope that’s the case, anyway because the other option is eBay hires people with really, really low IQs.

    Lanny, thanks, but I’m good. I opened up a second account & ordered what I needed.
