Scammed!

I recently began buying and selling products on eBay. The first product I listed happened to be a 3rd Generation Apple iPod Nano. It was also the first product of mine that I ended up "selling", or so I thought I did.

The buyer purchased the item and did not submit a payment anytime soon so therefore I decided to contact the buyer about how she would make the payment. She told me that she would pay through PayPal, and so I began to monitor my PayPal account and wait... And wait... And wait...

After a while no payment came into my account, so again I contacted the buyer would told me she had made the payment and to check my email that I should've gotten a email from PayPal about confirmation of the payment. So I checked and there was the email she talked about. It asked me to ship the item to the buyer's desired location. Once I had done that it asked me to send them the tracking number of the package and once I had done that I would be able to access the funds the buyer had paid me with.

It was convincing, so I got everything package and ready to ship. I even went to the post office and paid to ship the item and it was in the hands of the USPS.

Then I sat in the parking lot and I felt a little unsettled about the order so I called PayPal. When I did and I explained to them about what happened throughout the order process. Immediately after I told them they told me I had been being scammed by the buyer and I should get the package back.

So I did, and that was that. Yes I had been scammed but I luckily didn't loss anything.

So be careful when selling on eBay, because you may just get scammed.

I'll Just Google It

Google is by far the most widely used Internet search engine on the planet, but does everyone know about all the other incredible tools that Google has to offer?

Well today I'm only going to discuss a few of the main extra Google Apps Tools:

Google Calendar - This tool allows users to edit their own schedules as well as sync calendars together in groups so everyone can schedule appropriately. This is great for efficiently managing your time and scheduling for your groups or businesses.
