My story on the 5/11 in 2012 from ebay

Hi everyone!
I thought it would be funny to share this story with you guys.
It's kinda long story to share, but still, I thought it would be really funny
to share this story with other people.
So two days ago, I went on the ebay to search some dresses.
And when I finally found a wonderful white dress,
I wanted to win the auction really badly.
But since the dress was in a used condition,
I thought spending more than $36 was unnecessary.
But guess what happened?
When the auction got close to being done,
there was other three people increasing bids up to $53? $54?
So, I decided to increase my max bid up to $60, because I really liked that dress,
and I wanted to win the auction no matter what.
But right before 1second from the end,
some one increased their max bid more than my max bid.
So I lost the auction, and it really stressed me out
that I decided to go and search for another dress,
even I knew I didn't need a new dress.
I was searching it for over an hours, and it was after 11:30, and I realized
that I had to go to sleep in order to woke up at 8:00 in the morning.
So I went to a sleep, and in the next day, I kept searching on ebay.
When I finally found a dress that I liked,
I wanted to purchase it, but since I could not figure out the size,
I sent a massage to the seller, asking about the actual size.
However, the seller replied me back, saying that,
"I posted the measure on the page. Since all the company has diffrent sizes,
I cannot give you a actual size.
And soon, I replied back to seller that, she ore he does not have to give me the actual size,
but I want know brief lettered size, and if I purchase two items from her,
is it possible to get some discount.
This was the beginning that she began to ignore my messages.
I was sending a multiple messages, however, the seller kept ignoring me.
I decided to purchase the dress even I didn't really know about the actual size, since I really loved that dress. But when I clicked on the "buy it now" button,
it said the seller blocked me from buying his or her items (I don't have any negative feedback, or
the item that I didn't made a payment).
So I ended up calling ebay custommer center to ask, because I was really confused with the seller's reaction. The ebay custommer center lady told me the seller blocked me from purchasing the item
from him or her, and it was so ridiculous that I didn't said a word to the seller after that.
But however, I purchased the dress by making a new account(but first, I had to ask ebay for a permission in order to do that).
So now I'm waiting for dress to arrive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My thought of today:
-I met a ridiculous seller.
-I found the dress.
-Ebay custommer center is very kind and fast.
-If I decides to do something, and must do or so, no matter what.
-I should stop shopping.

  1. Oh, I feel your pain! That happened to me too with the item that was incredibly important for me and somebody outbid me by $5 the last second :( But then my brother told me that these people who outbid you the last second are just using the "sniping" software (google "ebay sniper" and a bunch of them should come up). You just enter the item # and max value you are willing to pay and the program does everything itself, bidding the very last second with minimal amount but within limits that you earlier entered. No need to wake up early or whatsoever. Most of the sniping sites offer free trial and some are even completely free (like goofbid). Hope it helps and you'll never get outbid again!
