XBox 360 + eBay + morons = $$$

[trust]

To quote buyer: "THANK YOU VERY MUCH"

[iago]

Sure, you didn't actually take his money, but you wasted his time :P

He probably would have wasted it anyway

Haha, so true.  I want my 5 minutes back!

[trust]

[Sidoh]

My boss' eBay and PayPal accounts were suspended for no apparent reason too.  eBay said they were being used for "suspicious" activity, my boss had no idea what they were talking about.

Yeah, exactly.  So I wouldn't do anything that is risky like that :)

And Trust -- the main problem with what you did is that you may have robbed your buyer of getting the xbox he wanted.  Sure, you didn't actually take his money, but you wasted his time :P

If someone is dumb enough to bid $600 on an item that he hasen't read the description on, one has to wonder, does he actually deserve the money in the first place? If one is willing to piss away wealth so easily then they don't deserve it, nor will they have it for very long.

These are the same people that give their credit card number to people over the phone, then wonder why they're being fucked in the ass by those same people.

Fuck em'.

My mom's given her credit card number over the phone, one specific example was when she was paying for sailing camp for me over the summer. It's not a big deal with a legit business.

Yes, iago, "FAST SHIPPING" was the funny part. :P

I'm talking about the people who give it to people who tell you you're getting a free vacation, but need your credit card, to 'verify who you are'/steal your money.

If that had happened to you, or your family, you would probably have a different attitude.

They might not deserve the money for not appreciating it, but you sure as hell don't deserve it for not working for your money and stealing it.

[trust]

Haha. For some reason the guy that bought my items account was suspended "indefinitely."
Wtf?

[TheSickEmpire]

Two things, it wouldn't happen to me, at least not in this situation. And, if it happened to someone I respected/cared about I'd tell them how not to let it happen again. But, I'd still hold the same opinion on the situation.

Stealing? I think you have the legal definition of stealing wrong.

The standard legal definition of stealing, theft, or in this case, larceny is as follows:

Theft/larceny is typically defined as the taking of almost anything of value without the consent of the owner, with the intent to permanently deprive him or her of the value of the property taken.

Now, in this case, we're dealing with money. I have full consent of the owner, and no intent to deprive him/her of what they've bought. So, it's not 'stealing' in any way shape or form.

I'm obviously not talking about the standard legal definition then, am I?

I assume then, that you pulld it directly out of your ass.

Wow, you're not that deep, are you? Just because you didn't legally steal something, doesn't mean you didn't still steal it in that same sense.
