Half.com idiot

I purchase most of my school books from either Half.com, Amazon, or other websites.

Purchased a book for my Western Civ II class, never received it. Contacted the seller several times to no avail. Filed a claim with Half.com.

A month later, Half.com sends me an email, asking if I've received the book yet (the email made it seem like they contacted the seller, and he said he shipped it). I said no, haven't received anything, and there's no shipping info for the transaction (you have to provide shipping details when you sell on half.com).

So, I get an email today from the seller today:

I had contacted you back in September> explaining what

Interesting that he had an issue, but still has the book if I want it..why in god's name would you not just ship out the book //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I told him I don't want it, as the semester is nearly over, and I want a refund.

Tip for all still in college:

Check out bigwords.com. Best place to get books on line. Searches a bunch of websites and gets you the best deals, including shipping.

Yeah I've used bigwords, but Half.com has cheaper books sometimes.

Guy just issued me a refund.
