Re: Off Topic 2011

I got a question about Ebay. I bought a phone on there last night and I sent the seller one question before I bought it and another after I bought it. Neither one has been answered, and its been about 24 hours. On his auction page it said all messages will be responded to within 1-8 hours.

I payed for the phone immediately after I got it, and payment has cleared.

Should I be concerned? I also got screwed on a phone last week. I won the auction then they emailed me and said the phone didn't come with half the stuff it said it did. So I am looking at 0-2 and not happy right now.

By the way, I am new to ebay. So not quite sure how everything works.

I'd give it a day first before worrying and contacting the seller. But some advice, don't ever buy anything if you've asked a question and didn't get a reply. I leave those alone.

I've been using ebay for some time and haven't had any problems at all but I always stay in contact with sellers.

The first time I contacted him was right before I bought it. It really wasn't an important question. But yeah, I'll wait till tomorrow and see what happens.

Do you know if its a pain in the *** to the get your money back if they don't ship the item or don't contact you?

Nah ebay and paypal are great about resolution issues. I wouldn't be too worried about that either.

Does anybody have a Verizon upgrade I can have? I need an iPhone in the worst way. It's seriously killing me, especially because my mom just got one and she's too stupid to know how to work it, she just got it to piss me off.

Hopefully, this is all for not 31, and you get your phone.

It's an option, but I can't wait any longer...I could technically pay retail for it but I need to save money for this loan payment I have and to fix my car. I'm contemplating going to apply for a bank loan tomorrow so I can just get it.

Do you really "need" it, lol. Why not just work, make money, and wait until the next version (which will undoubtedly have capabilities for Verizon's 4G network) to come out in June/July?

Dude, I've been waiting for this phone for almost 4 years, lol. My upgrade isn't until June of 2012, so I'm screwed. It's more the fact that my mom got one just to spite me, so I want to get one to shut her up, but I really want this phone. I'm sick of the Palm Pre and its useless app catalog.

so you are saving money to pay a loan and you are thinking about going to get a loan? And how much is the phone that you need to get a bank loan?

I would replace the word screwed with spoiled. Seems to be more accurate.
