I just wanted to let anyone who reads this to know that if they're ever out and about buying things on eBay, to never, ever buy anything from a user named mathony. Why? Because mathony is a stupid, thieving, irresponsible son of a bitch.
Let me tell you a little bit about my experience with this "mathony." For all intents and purposes, let's say "mathony" is a he (this is counterintuitive to me, because my experience leads me to believe that mathony has no balls.)
A few months ago, my laptop's power cord began to quit working on me. It was a fairly new one. The wire had become frayed and was poking out, and this culminated with me walking into my room to find the power cord to my laptop sparking. Thankfully I grabbed it and disposed of it before it caught my sheets on fire. I sure don't need that to happen again.
You can't find a power cord for my laptop, mostly because it's a cheap piece of shit, unless you either a) look on eBay or b) shell out $120 for what's called a "universal adapter." This adapter can be adjusted to fit many kinds of laptops, but as I said, damn thing's a hundred and twenty bucks, so fuck that. Left with only option B, I hopped on eBay and within minutes found a replacement for $30, including shipping. Fast forward a week when my plug gets here. Anxious to finally have a working laptop again, I go to plug it in only to discover that the plug is too small for the socket. Barely - a little larger, in fact, and it would have fit just right.
So I e-mail this mathony, and say that he must have sent me the wrong plug. He shoots one back with a half-ass apology for the inconvenience and asking for the item number. I send it to him, and he says if I ship back the plug he sent me he'll send the "right" one. Fast forward about two weeks. I finally get this new plug, and it still isn't the right one. I look on the auction again, to quintuple check that the title still says the name of my laptop (which is embarassingly cheap, so I'll omit that) as one of the compatible computers. It does. I look closer in the auction, and it says it is an 18V plug. My laptop requires a 19V plug. So now we have a problem on our hands - he's sending me the wrong plug because the bastard advertised the wrong plug.
I send him a few e-mails about this and he fails to respond with anything at all, let alone an apology. Long story short, I'm settling this via negative feedback and a PayPal dispute, but this person is a coward. He won't even refund me the $20 it's cost me to ship back now two plugs that are the wrong ones, so I'm really only getting about $10 back from this motherfucker.
Don't buy anything from mathony. (S)he's a dick.
