I'm an online gamer and when I discovered beta testing was over for TokiMemo Online, I immediately felt compelled to play the game. I set up a Konami.jp account and began to enter my payment information when I realized that foreign credit cards were not accepted.
So I immediately went to webmoney in hopes of procuring a 3000 yen WebMoney card so my friend and I could try out the game. But again, they do not accept foreign credit cards.
So, I have a request for you Japanese Voxers out there. Would it be possible for you to pick up a 3000 yen WebMoney card for me at your local retailer? I can pay you back via PayPal.
Many thanks for your help.
I'm a poor college student. I'm a hand-to-mouth sort of girl. Any surplus cash I have goes straight to buying books, but lately, I haven't had the money to buy anything recreational. Nearly all of the money in my checking account went to paying for textbooks for this semester and though I ordered them all online and most of them were used, the total still added up to over $300.
I was looking to spend as little money as possible on textbooks, so I ordered from Powell's, from Amazon sellers, even from Half.com in hopes of saving a few bucks. And while all the books arrived weeks ago, my Half.com Biology text still has not made its appearance on my doorstep.
After the "estimated delivery date" came and passed, I contacted the seller; so far, there's been no response. Since I contacted them over the weekend, half.com requires that I wait two business days before filing claim. And even then, I have to wait until thirty days have passed since I made the order before there's a chance I will be reimbursed.
This was my first half.com order experience.
This Friday, I have an exam on the material in that textbook and I can't afford to purchase a new text without half.com's reimbursement and my grant check, which was only sent in the mail earlier this week.
Let's hope that my check comes in tomorrow, or save that--the biology text that I ordered. Because being an English major, Biology isn't exactly my forte...
