Yeah, they sure got me good this time! But it wasn't here!
I thought I'd be smart (a good start to get shafted) and I'd buy two complete sets of Rosetta Stone's "American English" 1 thru 5 for the kids and my GF off e-bay.
Well, even thou I have successfully done many transactions on e-bay, I did not know that Rosetta Stone does not allow the sale or even re-sale of their courses other than by their authorized re-sellers, which can issue the much needed activation codes.
So, I got me two brand spankin' new (sealed) sets for about half the price than the MSRP.
Got them down here and handed them out proudly. I installed Melany's and "whooops"... can't get beyond the "demo" even I have a truck load of disks, without the activation code which did NOT come inclosed.
I contacted Rosetta Stone and all they can say is, that it was a license violation for the seller to sell them and thus I can "fogitaboutit"... no activation for me, Melany or even my GF (even thou she's real purdy!). Ha!
So, I file a claim with e-bay and PayPal.
The seller remains silent (he knows and is probably still rolling all over the floor of the computer room he peddles his garbage from LAUGHING).
So, e-bay now wants me to send one of the sets back!
Yeah well "whuepah"! I'm in Puerto Plata!
Now that I amused you all, my question?
E-bay sent me a prepaid return label... but for shipping from the US.
Anybody flying back from POP this week willing to take the darn thing along and post it?
Thanks! ... J-D
