WHAT THE HECK IS THAT????????******IMAGINE THIS - OCT 24 TO BE EXACT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2 EMERGENCY ROOM RUNS BACK IN FEB'05 CAUGHT UP WITH ME AND HIRED DEBT COLLECTORS TO GO AFTER THE MONEY - THESE GUYS QUADRUPLED MY BILL AND FROZE MY LITTLE CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR OVER 21K EEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! WHEN I ONLY REALLY OWED THEM MAYBE 4K**????~~~~~~~WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD !!!!!!......HEY this stuff happens to millions of people everyday - I bear no shame---ANYWAY.......the scoop relevant here is__ I MAILED IN A CHECK AS PAYMENT FOR A HEADVASE TO A VERY NICE AND POLITE SELLER. When I was made shockingly aware that my only checking account suddenly had a lean placed on it - and I could not access my money EEEEEEEK! I admit - I spent the first few days crying and stressing out, then I had to toughen up and take care of things.,,,,,,,,,,ONE OF THE VERY FIRST THINGS I DID WAS CONTACT THIS SELLER AND NOTIFY HER THAT THE CHECK I SENT "MAY HAVE COME IN UNDER THE WIRE AND CLEAR OR""""*******IT COULD BE STUCK IN THE LEAN - PLEASE CHECK ON THIS MATTER AND GET BACK TO ME - her RESPONSE WAS "- I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT" ___WELL - I GUESS THE CHECK CLEARED!!!!!! COOL !!~~~~~~~~~~ then I started getting notices from my bank - someone is trying to collect that exact sum of money - AGAIN - I WROTE THE SELLER TELLING HER TO LOOK INTO THIS - AS IT MIGHT BE THAT CHECK AND LETS RESOLVE THE PAYMENT ANOTHER WAY.......AND AGAIN - SHE REPLIED - I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ?????...........and again I thought the check went trough and it's something else ???******************** MY POINT IS - THESE THINGS AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE PLACE ALL THE TIME BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS - ???????? the big question is - WHY SHE NEVER TOOK ME SERIOUS AND CHECKED WITH HER BANK ?????? ABOUT THIS CHECK ---OH WELL - ANOTHER FILE IN THE MYSTERIES OF EBAY~~~~~~ BUT GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT ????????~~~~~~ ON DEC 7 I GET AN E_MAIL FROM THIS SELLER " DEMANDING" I COVER THE COST OF BANK OVERDRAFT AND CHARGES MADE BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT FUNDS AND MY CHECK AS THE CULPRIT DUH ???????? NOW YOU WAKE UP ??????? SINCE SHE SHE TOOK NO ACTION SINCE OCT 24 - HER BANK TRIED A FOURTH TIME TO COLLECT THAT MONEY FROM MY FROZEN ACCOUNT AND FINALLY GAVE UP !~~~~~~~~~~~~BUT WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ??????? NOW I'VE GOT A BULLY ON MY HANDS THREATENING TO TAKE AGGRESSIVE LEGAL ACTIONS FOR THE $14.94CENTS. HUH ??????????~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SO MY ADVICE TO YOU AS A BUYER IS ~~~~_ IF SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD BEFALL YOU------BE AWARE THAT A KIND AND LOVELY SELLER CAN TURN ON YOU ***** EVEN THOUGH YOU DID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS - SOME THINGS JUST FALL INTO INCOMPRESIBLE TRANSLATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO BUT STAY TRUE TO YOUR HEART AND RESPECT OUR OWN HONESTY.~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HERE WE HAVE _ ANOTHER STRANGE SAGA TO BE FILED IN MYSTERIOUS CONCEPTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I JUST DONT GET AND I'M GLAD I DON'T - I WOULD HAVE TO OCCUPY THE SAME MINDSET FOR COMPLETE COMPREHENSION~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GOTTA GO GOTTA GET SOME SLEEP CHELSEA :-) HAPPY HOLIDAYS ~~~~~~~~~!!!!!
