[Time Travel Warning – From the Archives]
This little gem dates back to 2011—yep, 14 years ago. I was selling odds and ends on eBay (still am, now under RemoteYardSale, if you’re curious), and I got stuck dealing with a buyer who somehow “won” an auction but didn’t think paying was part of the deal. What followed was this jaw-dropping email from eBay support.
At the time, I figured it was just outsourced customer service gone sideways. But in hindsight? It smells a lot like one of eBay’s early, glitchy attempts at an automated bot response. Either way, it’s worth preserving for the sheer grammatical chaos.
Enjoy the cringe. Original post here untouched and just as baffling as ever!
