Remember I mentioned recently that I’m owed two payments from Uzed? I sold some used CDs to them before I moved, and never received payment. Well, I emailed them FOUR TIMES to check the status of my payment, and received no response. None. I then resorted to calling the customer service number that’s posted on their site, only to get a “disconnected” message.
I then googled Uzed, and saw that many other people have been “uzed” by them. 
I then promptly reported them to the Better Business Bureau. Uzed has until May 8 to respond to my complaint. I’d better get my moolah, that’s all I have to say. oh yeah, and AVOID these people at all costs! Even though I’ve successfully sold to them in the past, for some reason, they’ve flaked on me this last time and that sucks.
Something else that sucks:
Today I decided to go ahead and break my contract with Sprint PCS. Their coverage, both in NM and now in VA…well…sucks. I was constantly getting dropped calls with them, sometimes several in ONE DAY. So when the company I work for gave me a phone with service from T-Mobile, I tried it out and the coverage/reception is sooooo much better.
I just canceled my plan with Sprint, which unfortunately means that I’ll have to pay their stinking $200 early termination fee. Yes, that’s two hundred. Dollars! ugh. Never again, Sprint. I should have learned the first time I had a plan with them. For some reason, since they’ve merged with Nextel, my reception was just horrible. When I had Sprint a couple years ago (before the merger), reception wasn’t too bad. oh well. Live, learn, etc. At least the phone I have now is free, since’s it’s provided by my company. haha, take that, Sprint! (I keep typing Spring instead of Sprint…)
I’ve definitely learned my lesson now, though. I won’t do business ever again with either Uzed or Sprint. It just sucks that I had to figure it out this way. 
(On the plus side…Barnes & Noble emailed me a 10% off coupon. That’s something good that’s money-related, right?

Wow that stinks! I am so surprised to hear that. I’m so not happy with ebay right now. Nowhere on their site do they list a phone number. I have such a bone to pick with them and customer service has not returned my e-mails which I sent 4 days ago regarding an important issue. I think they are making enough money that they can hire more e-mail answerers! Unlike you, I continue to use ebay because I need it. oooOOO I am so mad at them though!
Man… that sucks about Uzed! I remember you mentioning it (here or in an email) and man. At least you did the right thing by reporting them! Same goes for cell companies. They are all ripoffs. I am with Verizon b/c all of my family is (except my dad, heh) so it is free for us to call… but still. Ripoff! Think of it this way, yeah, you spent $200 to free yourself of them, but now you don’t have to spend anymore on your cell phone bill, right? You probably saved a ton of money right there!
Sorry to hear about the crappy situation with the Uzed company.
Oh, eepp with the $200. Sprint was my first cell phone company until they started to suck and now I have T-mobile and things are good.
Heheh like KC said,you will be saving money since the company is paying for your phone, that is just awesome.
Allyson: oh, that would burn me up, too! Is there any way to track down a contact number for them? Surely they have to have phones!
kc: I know, I hate how phone companies make you sign a contract. I mean, I could do the pay-as-you-go thing, but that ends up costing more in the long run, I think. But yeah, I hope I save tons of money now!
Jennie: I’m really liking T-Mobile so far! Hopefully it stays good and doesn’t go the way of Sprint.
