A lesson from Ebay

Have you ever said to yourself, “I got to have it?” Well, that’s what I said a week ago and off to Ebay I went. To fond that perfect phone. It was an Audiovox 5600. The latest greatest and I had to have one. After reading one discretion and biding what I thought was a reasonable price, I waited for that special moment (that doesn’t come to often) that says I’m the winner. Well, I made it to that moment and guess what? I won the phone. But my excitement changed to despair when I received the phone a few days later. IT was not as described on Ebay. It wasn’t “like new” as said, there were missing parts and I wasn’t a very happy camper.

So I sent the seller a rather disappointing email, not expecting any reply, I thought I was stuck. Well, to my surprised, I did get a response. It seems that the seller was actually taking the word of a friend of what kind of condition the phone was in. Thus the description that really didn’t match the merchandise. And further to my surprise, the seller was willing to take the phone back and refund my money.

So, were is the lesion in all this, well, simply put. Don’t believe the description of another. See if for your self.

When it comes to our faith and the journey we are on with God, we need to go right to the Source. To see it up close and personal and not rely on another persons experience.
