I can has eBay?
I dunno…canz I?
I haven’t bought anything from eBay in ages, and part of this is because many sellers refuse to ship to any other address other than the *verified* one on the PayPal account. Which, unfortunately, happens to be that which is served by the Evil Post Office.
But I found this guy who is selling these nice, inexpensive mini-bat racks. You know those little wooden souvenir bats that they sell at ballparks…I have started collecting them, and now I want some way to display them. This seller has ones that are affordable, but I’m hesitant to commit to buying anything until I can find out if he’s willing to ship either to the Good Post Office, or to Mike’s work.
I sent him a message via eBay to ask…can’t hurt, right? If he really wants to make the sale, he’ll ship it to one of the alternate addresses. If not, screw him, he won’t get my money. I have 100% positive feedback, dammit, from YEARS of buying and paying in a timely manner, that should count for SOMETHING, shouldn’t it?
Yet another reason to hate the Evil Post Office. I don’t get ANY real mail here anymore, but the eBay/PayPal thing was something I hadn’t thought of before.
I CAN has eBay? I hopez!

[...] Stupid eBay guy could not be arsed to respond to my question. To hell with him. I’ll either find another place to buy mini-bat racks, or, better, yet, figure out how to make my own. I think I can do that pretty easily, based on the pics of the racks on the guy’s page. A visit to Home Depot or Lowe’s ought to get me what I need, and I don’t even need to be Norm Abram to do it!
