First World Problems: post yours!

Late last week I discovered that the winter coat I have does not fit any more. Somehow my hips got wider! The good sales on winter jackets have all passed. Hoping for a good black Friday sale now. Thankfully the weather is a bit warmer and I can wear my light winter.

I was just at Old Navy and all their winter coats were 30% off.

Wher are all the flyer posters hiding?

Thanks but I've had bad luck with Old Navy coats in the past couple of years.

It seems the Black Friday flyers are in the community paper bundles today.
Kind of intrigued at Target's $39.99 special buy bed in a bag. I want a comforter but am picky about colours/patterns (I like brights and watercolour type effects but not solids or drab tones or most floral patterns) and can do without the shams and decorative pillow. That's about the only thing-no mention of any Jamie Oliver food product sales in the flyer.
Noticed Hudson's Bay flyer for tomorrow is showing a set of Jamie Oliver's cookware for $199.99 ($400) savings. Why is that set selling at such a low price? There's a bonus wok pan that goes with it but the handles do look heavy.

Forgot to take meat out of the freezer for dinner tonight. Solid block of pork tenderloin sitting out now... hoping it thaws enough in the next hour that I can stuff it into a pan... dinner will be late tonight dear children.

its funny how nothing changes in 10 years, let alone 20
could be a good thing? or bad.

someone on ebay bid on my item, then two days later decides they want to cancel their bid. They email me saying "oh cancelling my bid." No reason. They don't go through proper channels. Just expect me to go delete it

Um... No.

WTF I don't want to educate you when you should read it yourself. Sent them the ebay link to "it's a binding contract, blah blah."

If you want to fight, go to eBay and argue your case.

Time wasters have been bumped up to the thing I hate most in the world.

That Jamie Oliver set (or one similar to it) goes on sale for that price often. It's their loss leader.

Sometimes it's Lagostina, sometimes it's Gordon Ramsay. All of them are $600-$700ish full price. I have the Gordon Ramsay

people like that while just hurting their own reputation, are still a pain in the backside for wasting your time.

im still waiting on an item I purchased a month ago. They listed their shipping time as I business day. Super POED right now!

[torontogal12]

Well the auction just closed.

Bidder was the only bidder. Didn't officially retract their bid. Didn't respond to two emails I sent them. (One asking why. The other telling them that the seller can't cancel their bid, just eBay). We'll see if they pay. I doubt they will. So I'll leave negative feedback and probably get negative in retaliation.

Do you still have to pay ebay's 10% off someone refuses to pay?

Wait until you can open a case for unpaid item and than wait again if the buyer don't pay you get your fees back and they got hit with unpaid item 3 of those and their account is blocked... And if they leave negative feedback for you eBay will retract it since you didn't do anything wrong

Thanks so much @puska!
The lady's address just appeared. She lives about 15 mins drive from me and could've bought it from me on Kijiji (I listed it there for cheaper). I wonder if she was having buyer's remorse. It was pretty obvious from my profile the city that I live in.

I sent her an invoice, we'll see what happens. What great sellers experiences I'm having on ebay (worst site for selling, ever)

I got sent home from work early so that someone else could start early, even though I didn't want to go home.

Went to get a new travel mug...when did cups with handles become unpopular?
