Tuan, the clueless ebay seller
Recently, I won a auction on ebay that went bad. Here’s the exchange with the ebay seller. My text is in bold. Things have been change to protect the clueless.

You do realize that’s a Post Office Box, right? only USPS (United States Postal Service) can deliver there, not UPS. United Parcel Service is a private company.Just in case you shipped it USPS, I’ll only be able to check Monday. It was not there last Thursday.

Tuan,The package has not arrived at my P.O. Box. That is because UPS will not ship to P.O. Boxes.
Since you claim to have sent the package via UPS, please forward me the 18 digit TRACKING NUMBER that you got when you shipped the package. The 18 digit number should start with the letters/numbers “1Z…”
[2 days pass]
Hello, I’m still waiting on that tracking number so I can figure out where you shipped my PDA to. It’s been 7 days since I’ve last heard from you, and 21 days since the auction close.

After a few more emails, he finally gave be back my money via paypal. It was fifty days from start to finish. He sent me back an extra seventy five cents too, and asked for me to give him positive feedback.
Heh.
With enough cash, you can buy my opinion, but it’ll cost you a bit more than $0.75.

crikeys. what a dumb ass. I assure you that some of us ebay sellers actually speak English and have a concept of UPS versus USPS (personally, I just use USPS — it’s always worked well for me).
