Dave & Adam's Card World ...

Payment had been sent through Paypal, I got an order confirmation. The invoice I got was to pay for them, and the order confirmation was sent once the payment went through. Since eBay purchases go through PayPal as well, I purchased the card before the other buyer did.

Also, I assume "in stock" would probably more apply to their store website than to ebay's website.

purchase: Acquire (something) by paying for it;
order: Request (something) to be made, supplied, or served

Purchase implies "acquisition" and since you didn't acquire (gain possession of) the card, you didn't purchase it. And your response even states that you received an "order confirmation," not a "purchase confirmation." Semantics, I know, but important nonetheless.

Subjective semantics at that...

Maybe we should start paying after we've received the card?

As far as I'm concerned, when I pay someone for a card - I'm the new owner. The next step is that they ship it to the new owner.


I'm kind of tired of arguing now, like Forrest Gump when he just stops running.

You make a good point t206hound, but like I said - they are subjective semantics, not universally defined. Again - even the fact that I feel that they are subjective is subjective.

It seems as though everything is getting worked out. I just had a nice chat with Shawn, their director of marketing. Seemed like a nice guy to me....He might post on this thread too as he is registering for the board......regards

It definitely is. I can't wait until it has. Once it has - I will literally change everything I have written on here to advertisements heralding their customer service, and complimenting the professionalism of Adam, Dave, Bob, and the entire company as a whole.
