Filed under: Internet Horror Stories Several years ago, I was unemployed and looking for a way to make money. After doing a little research (too little, I must admit), I discovered that plus-sized lingerie was a hot seller online. I browsed the Internet and found a wholesale lingerie supplier who sold what I needed. I freed my credit card from its hidden location, removed the dust, and placed an order for $500.00 worth of frilly plus-sized lingerie. Then, I set up an eBay store and waited for my shipment to arrive. The next day, I received a phone call from the supplier. Item by item, the representative told me that my selections were out of stock. He informed me that he could send replacement items of the same values. I happily agreed. I just wanted my merchandise as soon as possible so that I could start building my empire. When the lingerie arrived, it was several sizes smaller than I had hoped. It was still lovely sherbet-colored lingerie, so I still expected it to sell vigorously. I took pictures, created listings and waited for the orders to roll in. They never did. Even when I lowered the prices of the items and included free shipping, the merchandise still sat unwanted in boxes in my basement. Eventually, I donated all those thongs and baby-dolls to charity. I hope someone is enjoying them. Share It took me a year to pay off my credit card. previously:// More Internet Horror Stories on Urlesque Continue reading →
