So last week I'm trying to sell a brand new Toshiba laptop on eBay. It's worth more than $2000. I'm hoping to get bids at the $1649 starting price. But as soon as I list it, what do I start getting...? All those bullshit emails from niggers in Indonesia and Ukraine (you see a link here?) asking me sell it to them for 2 grand or more AND they'll pay for expedited shipping to their country. The only problem all of them shared was that they either wanted to pay with a credit card directly since they didn't trust PayPal and such services OR they trusted it so much they were willing to use PayPal even if the site didn't even offer it's services in their respective countries.

I did my job my replying most of those numerous scammers that I do not sell to any of those countries, they still didn't get it. In the end some asshole used the "Buy It Now!" option. So just because eBay can't handle these scumbags, innocent sellers like me have to pay for it. Although eBay will refund the final commission, I still lost more than five bucks in listing fees and 7 precious holiday sales days in this scam, the scammer didn't lose shit.

Now I've had to relist the item and wait for another seven days. This sucks ass.
