I got duped. On Saturday I start my masters program at City University. In preparation for two years of coursework, student teaching and a dissertation, I bought a new Laptop. It is larger than our old one and I needed to get a new sleeve to keep its shiny red exterior in good condition! I found a great deal on e-bay. Almost too good to be true and it said “free shipping in the U.S.” on top of everything. Even before I won the bid I had seen what I had done. I didn’t look in all the shipping areas and while it said free at the bottom of the description when you clicked further into the site it charges $14.99. The cover, I am guessing weighs less than 8 oz. I knew immediately I’d been scammed. I emailed e-middleman, who I am now guessing stole an entire box of these off the back of a truck somewhere, to clarify his “error.” His e-mail back was rude! He told me I got a $50 dollar item for $16 and should basically suck it up. He is right. I just hate the fact that I did business with someone so unethical. I would have rather gone to the dell site and paid $35 +s/h for the cute polka dot one than have spent one dime on any item he had to sell! As soon as I get confirmation of shipping I am giving him bad feedback and reporting him to e-bay. e_middleman sucks!
