Last month, I tried to sell a spare SD Card that I had lying around the house on eBay, this was the first thing I had ever tried to sell on eBay.
The auction ended and I sent the SD Card off to the winner but it never arrived. After increasingly angry emails from the winner who was effectively accusing me of never sending the item because he had won the auctions at a really low price I just got fed up of waiting on the item and gave him a full refund despite my suspicions that he probably had received the item.
Well, that item arrived back at my house this morning saying that I had underpaid the postage by 6p and that the person I had sent the item to had not come into the sorting office to collect it.
That means the guy sent me a torrent of bad vibes (like, heavy man) my way for the sake of walking to his local post office.
My first thought was, I'll get in contact with the bloke and explain whats happened and that if he wants it at the original price he can have it - then I realised that I really am too nice when dealing with stuff like this and have decided to keep it for myself.
Then I realised that after I had given the bloke his £7 refund, he could just walked down the post office paid the £1.06 (*1) and got the SD Card for a 1/4 of what he paid for it. ha
*1 - there is a £1 handling fee if you under pay the postage which I think is the real reason for making the postage system so complicated these days
