Uh huh. This is what I woke up to this morning. Ebay’s collection agency calling. Apparently I owed 35$ for “services”. Which is fine. I mean, I go through periods where I use Ebay quite a bit so it didn’t really surprise me. What DID surprise me was that they called at all.

I mean, yes the amount was overdue. But, being honest, I get so much Ebay and PayPal spam that it is very, very difficult to figure out what’s real these days. I mean, it’s downright impossible without hovering over the links on each and every email (and I get 50+ of them a day). Sorry Ebay, just not happening.

So I logged in and paid it. I was a little surprised to find that the amount had only been owing for 2 weeks and that they’d already sent a collection agency after me. I mean, I always pay my balances eventually. Why would I want to give up my 4+ years of history with Ebay over 25$, after all?

Anyways, it was an eye opener. Nothing I can really prevent (except by being more active on Ebay), but an eye opener nonetheless.
