Ebay made me sad.

The kids and I have wanted a wii for along time. I think we are one of the last people who doesn't have one. John could care less. He is not a big gamer. He does play if it is there. (We have had many hours stealing and playing on our kids ds's.) So Becca and I were looking on Ebay and found some ending soon and were less money. So we bid on one and lost. and hurried to bid on another. It was going back and forth and we were counting down the seconds. Then whoo hoo. We won it for $200. How awesome is that? We were so happy. We had also won some other auctions for stuff for the kids ds's so we hopped on paypal and paid. The next day, I had an email from the guy saying his paypal was restricted (he is in china and something about that and credit cards) so he wanted us to just transfer money into his bank. Well, if I did that, there is no protection if he didn't send it to me. So I said no, I want to use paypal. He wrote back and said that would take around 25 days and did I have anyother ideas? I said, yes, send me the wii and I will transfer the money after I get it. I don't think he wanted to because he canceled his ebay account and I haven't heard back. I emailed ebay and they said it sounded bad, and to give them all the info I had. Bank transfers are not allowed. But that doesn't give us a wii for $200. How sad is that? My kids are so disappointed. Why does there have to be dishonest people in this world? Here we sit with no wii. Don't you feel bad for us? Anyone who wants to buy us one, feel free!!!



Help I have fallen and I can't get up!!!
