eBay Sucks Ass!

I hate eBay with a passion right now. In an earlier post, I had mentioned I was looking to find a copy of Oni for the Mac. Well, I did some searching and finally found one copy of it for auction on eBay. That was four days ago. I’ve been watching it every day since then. The bidding never got high, so I saw my chance to get myself a copy of it for real cheap. I logged in with only a few minutes left and kept reloading the page until I saw there was 1 minute left in the auction. I entered in my bid, which would’ve been the winning one, but instead of seeing a “Congratulations! You’re the winning bidder!”, I saw a #$(*@ login screen asking me for my *%(*&# password! I paniced. I entered in my password and hit submit, but instead of submitting my password, it brought me to some dumbass page with a link back to the item! By the time I FINALLY got back to the auction, time was up!
Needless to say I let loose a few choice words. I’m still very pissed about it. I’m getting angry again writing about it. Why did eBay need my %#*&# password if I was already logged in!?!?!
Now I’ve got to go scouring the Web again trying to find a copy. There are no other Mac copies on eBay. I can’t find any stores still selling it. The folks at OmniGroup won’t sell me a copy. So I’m screwed. And I have eBay to thank.
It does sux indeed
