Idiot on Ebay (ohojim)
Thanks for posting this interesting email.
You might want to point out this thread to him (I strongly suspect he already knows about it). I think we have a good idea as to his ethics in regards to his business practices...as least I do. He won't have to worry about me doing ANY business with him EVER on Ebay.

I had been working on my launch-bots for two days and was in the process of separating the ones out I didn't want to use. About 11:30 that night I got an email from eBay telling me that the next day, Dec. 26th, was a free listing day. I spent the next 3 hours purging all those I didn't intend to use, hit the launch button and went to bed about 1:30AM. When I got up the next morning, to my horror they had all launched! Including all the ones I thought I had purged which was mostly made up of duplicates! I guess by 1:30 I had gotten too punchy. This was certainly not intentional and will never happen again - I hope! At least this one time boo boo by me will be over in a very few days. Everybody makes mistakes from time to time but it seems I make the big ones! I appreciate your concern and your patience. ///////////////////* His excuse THIS YEAR: (e-mail from OHOJIM, sent to me) "Oh man! I screwed up! " "It's even worse than you think! It was 2am and I did something wrong! I'm still trying to figure out what it was because I sure don't want to do that again! I'd taken a sleeping pill about 9:30 with my prostate medicine so I could go to sleep and I went in to check the computer one last time. I saw that Friday was a free listing day so I told my wife I had to go back to the shop. I didn't remember the sleeping pill until I realized I just couldn't think and I was getting sleepy as hell. That was about 1am I kept at it until 2am and just gave up and went home. I didn't think I'd "gotten any auctions launched until about noon the next day when they all began to show up! " "At least half of them will be gone by Monday and all of them by Friday. " "Thanks for your patience! " "Jim " " |
