do you have a cell phone, capn ?
I do...
do you smoke?
No...
well, good. that's a start. now use your cell phone and call the person to whom you "won" the ebay auction and tell them your troubles and why you will not be able to honor the transaction.
then call your cell phone company and cancel the account to save yourself at least $50 a month.
That's unneseccary. I get paid at the end of the month and then all will be well.

Well I think at least two lessons can be learned from this thread.
1.) Never bid on an auction unless you alone are able to fulfill.
2.) The actions of one poster can result in a lack of trust ramifications for other posters.
Grrr...it wasn't my fault! I WAS able to pay for my eBay auction...long story.
Two lesons to be learned from this thread:
1) BWW, despite present company
, is full of wonderful, generous people. Truly, BWW is a very special online community that no other website of any genre has.
2) CapnHook is a poor fool addicted to BWW who needs to start smoking.
Maybe ask a close friend? Family member?
Someone you've actually met who can track you down and break your legs if you don't pay back....?
No one I know has paypal. I could always get cash from a friend, but the auction is paypal only.
but you can get cash from someone and put the cash in your banking account connected to your paypal account.
Nope - put it in banking and it goes to the bank to pay the $34 overdraft fee.
I don't get paid til the end of the month.
So tell the guy that you can't pay until the end of the month...make something up...or tell him the truth. If he's getting the money...it should be OK...no?
What is it, if I may ask?
Whatever, problem is solved. Stop making things complicated, BSoBW!
You used my full name!
Don't be angry!
How is your checking account overdrawn through no fault of your own?

How can it be the 7th of the month, you're overdrawn by $34 and you don't have any money coming in until the 31st-- and your biggest worry is covering an Ebay auction? Food? Transit? Laundry? Diet Cokes? The aforementioned Haircut?
E-mail the Ebay seller, and ask if you can send the money a few weeks from now. Most are pretty cool about this type of thing...they just wanna know that the transaction will eventually be completed.
Otherwise, maybe donate plasma?
This has to be the lowest of the lowest threads. One for the record books. Right up there with Oblivious's lying and "he that shall not be named"'s video "sale".
Captain, it is good you are changing your hair from that pageboy to something a little more contemporary. However, that won't butch you up enough to get a "girl." Was the E-bay auction that you won for a batch of old Blue Boy's? If so I am pissed that you were the one to outbid me and now you don't even have the money for it. Or was it for that 25th anniversary Tinkerbell figurine that Disney put out in limited edition?

I assure you Sueleen, Cap is not interested in grown up things. Even with the word "boy" in the title. I would be willing to bet that it is some sort of Disney item he's bid on. Or Wizard of Oz. But more likely Disney.
Capn, if you ever start to smoke, I will never speak to you again! EVER.
