I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Anyone else ever have a transaction cancelled on eBay for no specified reason? I paid via PayPal, which has my correct address. Then she emailed me that the gloves had been returned; turned out she'd used a completely wrong address. I gave her the right address, and now, two weeks later, she's cancelled the transaction, with apologies and no explanation. If she can't send the gloves, okay, but I'd like to know why I'm not getting what I bought and paid for.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

contact the seller and say so. if you are still dissatisfied, contact ebay. this is not supposed to occur.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

She may be worried about getting negative marks from you because of the delay, and decided to cancel rather than risk that.

Kat - I can't wait to see that cake!

Also - I'm watching horseracing on versus and am amused by the many different ways that people are pronouncing Havre de Grace. Generally - some variation of the French or the Maryland - and often a combination of the two.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Challenging county fair parade today. The roller derby team skated but it started raining--then DOWNPOUR on the route. I managed to get my skates off but walked the whole thing handing out candy in the pouring rain.

My pads are soaked. I took the skates apart and cleaned, dried and oiled the wheels and bearings. I'm getting ready to put my gear in the dryer.

My cheap skate bag is toast. I need to find a new one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I swear I can hear the Grand Prix cars downtown. It has a different pitch than the usual jets going overhead.

Oh YES they do. Yes, I has massive envy.

I'm sorry I left town before that, actually. Ah, well.

Cancelling a transaction that's already been paid for isn't the best way to avoid a negative mark... This was her comment in the cancellation email: "Seller comment: Please cancel transaction for me..I will email you if I can relist these gloves.. Thank You So Much.. I really apologize "

She'll email me if she can relist them? WTF? I mean, they're just gloves I bought on a whim; it's not a big deal and she's already refunded the money... but without any explanation, and after she's already mailed them to me once? If she hadn't gotten the address wrong, I'd have them.

I sent her this message: "I don't mind if you had to cancel the transaction, and thank you for processing the refund so quickly, but I would like to know why I couldn't get the gloves I paid for. Some explanation seems to be appropriate here."

I hope that wasn't too "mean".

Zenkitty,

are you sure she mailed them?
