Quote: "It sounds like the seller did keep just fine track of it, but it turns out the buyer was a scammer."
No, the seller didn't keep track.
Quote: "Of course, that's why it's OK to pirate software from big players such as EA, right?"
Certainly not. When I said "morally borderline" I was joking, meaning it was borderline on the wrong side of the border.
Quote: "But then again as a Christian you can just pray for forgivesness lol"
That's just ridiculous. Being able to pray for forgiveness doesn't give me the right to do what I want.
Quote: "he scammed the seller into thinking the old keyboard was lost."
Clearly you didn't read/understand my post. We didn't do any scamming whatsoever. All we did was mention to the seller that the keyboard hadn't been marked as posted (because it hadn't - we just thought the seller had forgotten to post it).
Quote: "He also corrupted his brother and mother in the process."
How
dare you.
It was my brother that asked the seller if the item had indeed been posted, not me nor Mum. Then when we received an extra keyboard having only paid for one, we had a meeting to decide what to do about it (all of us, together). After much toing and froing we decided we couldn't sell it because then we'd be passing a problem onto someone else, and we decided to keep it because a) it was the seller's own silly fault for not tracking their products correctly and b) we didn't want to risk being forced to pay another $25+ to return the thing. We kept the box in a safe place in case the seller ever contacted us to correct his mistake. There was no corrupting involved.
Some community leader that can't even read the posts...
Quote: "From what I gather the seller did not know they had sent the first keyboard at all. That's really badly organized which in turn leads to bad customer service. The item should have been marked as posted days ago. There was no apparent scamming involved. The seller made a mistake that would require an effort from the buyer to fix."
Exactly. And we genuinely believed it would have cost us money (of which we have precious little as it is) to have them "fix" the issue (return the extra keyboard).
EDIT: I apologise for hijacking your thread, DA. I didn't realise my post would elicit such a flood of responses.
EDIT2: I've removed the original text detailing our escapades as it seems it wasn't clear enough for people to actually comprehend. I have kept the original text, however, so if you feel the need to quote what I originally said in order to debate with me, please PM me.
