Nothing worse than ordering something and the seller didn't take care in packing. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...

Website flyout menus.So many sites have them and I'm always clicking something as they're popping up and now directing me to something else...

When someone makes a best offer of €29 on a €205 item on Ebay  

Maybe they are just testing to see if you put the auto decline on your best offer settings. For real though, I hate that as well. 

I hate getting low ball messages on an auction that's not even BIN, they're just offering below your minimum bid and asking you to do a BIN for less.

Somehow my wife's PayPal became linked to my eBay account. She's asleep in another state and the answer can wait until morning, but I just wasted over an hour trying to figure this out and then updating her account so an eBay payment could go through. I'm very, very curious about how she effed this up...

False advertising! Stephen Colbert started his show with "We have a great show for you tonight." I'd call that a lie, it was not a great show and he was not funny. I don't think he's ever even made me smile. As a side note, I can not wait until November 9th so he can work on a brand new agenda...

His old show was lame as well.

I'm sure you guys been through this.

Just had a buyer offering half of listed price for Red5. Because my son has saved to buy his dream Lego. And that's what he could afford. And they could come right away.

Seriously...some people just keep using their child as front. I don't mind a closer offer but hey I'm not going to sell for much much less. If your son can't afford it why don't you top up. Geez

Half is one thing - I had someone claim that they are part of some sort of veteran rehabilitation group wanting me to give him the set I had listed on eBay for free.  And this was a used, complete 42009 Mk. II Crane in perfect shape with manual. Veteran of what? That wasn't specified. Veteran stamp collector? Veteran exploiter of people's gullibility/kindness? I ran a quick interntoobz search for the supposed organisation, nothing comes up naturally. Anyway, I didn't get the chance to answer him of course because someone bought it in the meantime (the price was very competitive, if I may say so myself, and my buyer got a smoking deal).

And this was someone with eBay feedback in the thousands.

Same recently, but offered 40%. Slightly different story, but similarly annoying.

"My son's budgerigar is past due on its bowling team league fees and they are near the finals. Little Jimmy will be crushed if Peter the Budgie doesn't have a 10188 Death Star on which to mount its trophy!"

Haha guys...I'm sure I'm not alone in this 😂

Right...story continues...

Buyer sent 4 messages in succession, the last one asking "if you are ok with our offer please let us know soonest as my son is going crazy next to me".

Perhaps I should put them out of their misery 😈

Sounds like the perfect time to let the offer sit for 47 hours. I hope you didn't reject it too quickly.

I'd just respond with this line. You hit the nail on the head.

Having lots of kid deductions does ease the burden though.

It does. My taxes are extremely easy to do - except for dealing with one of my kids. He's adopted and there's a bunch of very confusing credits that I get but I have to be very exact how I do it. It's a pain because it's very confusing and not straight forward.

I just want to make sure I do it right and not end up with a huge tax bill (instead of a refund) because it wasn't applied correctly. Lots of reviewing of the last couple years of docs.
