Holy shit eBay doesn’t completely suck

Tag: Uncategorizedmav @ 7:54 pm

I was surfing eBay last night, and in a moment of pure weakness I broke down and bought a used Palm Tungsten T. I’ve been eying a T3 or T5 for a while, but didn’t want to throw down the zillion or so dollars for a new one. At the same time, I didn’t want to buy a bunch of accessories I was going to have to throw out, so when I saw this used T for $110 I couldn’t resist.

Paypal was doing some weird shit, though, and even though I was able to put through the payment I still haven’t gotten an acknowledgement to that effect.

Any rate, I was sitting here this evening wondering what was going on when the seller called me to tell me that he just wanted me to know that he wasn’t just ignoring me, that Paypal was fucked on his end too and he couldn’t verify the payment, so he would check again in the morning and let me know.

That’s pretty damned cool.
