eBay, you make me laugh!
« on: June 24, 2013, 01:37:47 PM »
So...

I have a number of beefs with evilBay, but this one really made me laugh.

You know their new frontpage - with the myriad photos and stuff?  Well, one of my saved searches that prompts results on this page is My Little Pony, located in Canada only.  So up pops a Sunset Shimmer, appetizingly priced at $2.36.  I go to check it out, only to find that...

... apparently, YiWu City, ZheJiang Province, China, is now part of the Great White North.

Way to go, eBay - good geography! :lol:

Anypony have funny eBay stories like this to share?

ETA: changed price - my numerical dyslexia striketh again. :rolleyes:

Wishlist - I'm back on (semi-) active buying again... can't buy everything on my wish list all at once (yay, back-to-school and tuition fees), but I am still looking to plump up my collection a bit more: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380638.0.html

I've had eBay show me prices in Finnish marks this spring. We've been using €€€ for a decade. Unless eBay knows something I don't? :lmao:

HAHAHA that really takes the cake! Unless really eBay is psychic and is already preparing Canada for occupation by China (or maybe the other way around) and mybe it lives in the world where Finland left the EU and reverted back to marks? :)

^ This! In the wake of the Euro crisis, we've been hearing some critical voices... not to be taken very seriously imo, but perhaps evilBay knows better? :lmao:
