tupical...

reminds me of a certain special offer (that wasnt) in the last days of pompeii on the old ebay rt....
good for a larf tho...
-
... and you were expecting anything different?
When it comes to discussing rocket science at eBay, it's perfectly normal to have a disemboweled lettuce in the middle of the conference table (especially if you're in the IT department).
Seriously, though, can some of the actions taken by eBay be anything less than neglect?
Some are criminal, some are grey and some, like the OP's, are just plain careless.
... I hate to bash eBay (really I do), but when it comes to cynicism, they just provide so much material to work with!

lol brumbs ...disemboweled lettuce... hehe, quite loikely
-
re bashinh ebay, i love it, but dont do it much anymore because it makes me feel like a bully - i.e. they are such an easy target

Last day of Pompeii?
"Dear citizen of Pompeii,
You may have received a message regarding a guarantee of no volcano eruptions for 20 gold pieces paid to Vesuvius Eternal Safety Committee. Unfortunately, this message was sent in error. The guarantee only applies to citizens based in Verona, and does not apply to citizens of pompeii.it. (Basically, you lot are toast.)
We apologise for any confusion, inconvenience, false sense of security, painful death, business collapse, family disruption or general ruination of your daily plans this may have caused.
Thanks,
