As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

This may be in the wrong place.
On ebay I hate to give a newby (gold star - 30 or 40 f/b) but what do you think?
In the description he wrote "fast shipping" Auction closed evening of Sat. Aug 1. I Paypaled him $$$ that evening. USPS got the watct on 8/6.
What was he doing with my watch from 8/1 to 8/6?? Did his delivery snail break down? No his fault that USPS still hasn't delivered it - its been raining in the Lou - but why did it take so long for him to get it to USPS?
Would you neg the jerk??
I recently sold a few things on eBay and because of a couple of reasons I couldn't ship right away (but still within the 3 business days I promised), I wrote to the buyers to explain the situation and everyone was okay with it. I don't expect everyone to do what I do, but I think that seller at least could have got in touch with you about the delay (unless he/she didn't think it's a delay). A neutral feedback would still lower the positive feedback percentage. Give fewer stars for shipping if you want.
Maybe they didn't want to head out until they can take several things to the post office in one go? Kinda sheltering in place?
When will Seiko recalibrate their chapter ring printer? [mention]peskydonut[/mention]
Understandable on their $200 malaysian-assembled watches. Unacceptable with their made-in-Japan $1000 ones.

Someone explain to me why drop-down menus have a high-to-low price choice.

I've sometimes used it to keep from having to scroll through pages, pages, and pages of Invicta, Nixon, Sturhling, etc before I get to the more desirable brands.

If there's one thing that sticks in my throat is a television broadcast for a sporting event that is announced for a scheduled time and then spends a zillion minutes with talk, promotions, and god knows what wasting time before the event starts.
I'm looking at you, NBC and the Indy 500. The broadcast was announced for 1 PM (ET), and here it is 1:51 and after showing us pictures of drivers walking around, talking, etc., they still haven't dropped the starting flag.

Oh snap! The first sentence begins, "The newest piece of PPE from Louis Vuitton..."
I'm SO sorry that I have missed all of the other PPE from Louis Vuitton . That rock I've been under...the light hurts my eyes .
Whenever I see someone listing a pre-owned watch as "Minty," makes me think of toothpaste. So I ignore the listing completely.
