Default I hate PM / internet!

Ok, not the Prime Minister but Private Messaging!

It's a cool feature an all, and I love the fact that it alerts you when you log in or refresh your page.

But damn, I hate the fact that people can read your message and ignore you! I guess I hate all interenet messaging then!

At least with a phone people can't just ignore you unless they hang up or have call display.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm waiting for a guy to reply to my PM, I sent him 1 he read it, didn't reply, I sent another he read it and iddn't reply. So I sent a third and said "FACK at least reply and say, f' you or something".

GRRR

take a deep breath.

i get tons of those too (mostly buy / sell related) they ask you for something, you give'em info and *poof* they vanish.

what sucks more is that all the info is already provided, if they just took the time to read the f'n thread then they didn't have to ask in the first place.

if you are buying something from someone and they are not responsive, i just assume they are not interested in selling and move on to a better deal.

Hyper, yeah I'd do that if he didn't have my $$$$$!

I bought something, he decided not to ship right away, now it's been 3 weeks since I paid, I want my $$ back he is not replying.

Well he finally replied and agreed to return the $$$.

Although I replied instantly (I really am on here too much these days), he didn't reply again... he's still online. I really like that feature of PM you can tell if they are online. Of course it probably just sits until it times out.

Anywho, hopefully it won't take long for him to get me my money. He's been cool about it, just took too long really. Originally he was to ship right away (Exhaust) then he decided he would wait till he got his new one (he thought a few days). We'll he's still waiting for his! So now he offered to ship mine out Monday and he'll put is stock back on till he gets his, but I just asked for my $$$ back, too much hassel.

He shouldn't have originally sold it if he wasn't ready to ship, or at least he should have told me about the potential delay I would have been cool with that, as I wouldn't have paid until he was ready to ship it.

well glad you are going to get your money back.

i'd just leave the name dropping unless the $ doesn't flow back.
