She deserves to be shot!!

I hold an e-bay auction for a nice Royal Doulton china figure. I specify on the auction that the item is for UK despatch only. The auction currency is in GBP. ....All bids are in GBP. Despite this a Californian woman bids on it and wins.... I send her an invoice in GBP and she delays payment because she does not understand what GBP is and wants an invoice in USD!!! I helpfully point her to the http://www.xe.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; site so she can see roughly what it works out at.... she says oooohhh... I hadn't realised I was bidding that much!!!!

Gah... I guess it's down to inbreeding

or breeding with the wrong Uncle

but everyone in the US has an uncle called Sam.. right?

I guess some people are just beyond help?

I guess so, Gurb But did you get your money?

I dare not to comment out of fear of getting permanently banned from the Internet, but you still put it nicely.

Well I don't trade much on ebay but a friend of mine does. And he cries whenever a idiot comes and start bidding too soon (like on the first hour or so on something that will be there for like a week).

So yes, the world is filled with idiots. I'm also one, but at least I'm nice.

I didn't know one could purchase Royal Doulton with colonial script.

Key word there is "California". The further north you go the saner they get.

If the ditz didn't know what GBP is she shouldn't have bid. Looks as if you put plenty of clues out there.

Surprised she didn't ask what "www.xe.com" stood for.

As far as e-bay and California (uber alles?) goes; if I dont get my graphics card this week I'm going to invade!


Six weeks and nothing
(and the ad said they were in Newcastle, UK. Still I'd rather invade California than Newcastle)

I've got several 1% 'er friends out in Kalifornia....

They're big, they're ugly, and they ride rude and they're associated with that loverly bunch of fine upstanding people known as the Hell's Angels...

What part of the SRK does she live in? ( Socialist Republik of Kalifornia)

Tell the dumb broad to PAYPAL it and make her pay the paypal fees as well.

For a small fee of US$1,000 I can get my Uncle Guido from Salerno to lean on the woman. If you don't have the cash then that horsey Willie rides will do.
