you got dicked around by ebay, I think it's fair to say that when you got bids on your item you expected them to pay but they didn't, and now you find you're short of mon-ay as a result of getting dicked around by ebay you got messed about by amazon, and you were quite surprised that when your package came in the post, it was completely the wrong size of course you opened it to find the wrong item inside... and now amazon have ruined your film night the lawyers are not interested, neither are the cops you sigh and say "remember when we used to go to shops?" when your parcel arrived, you were not home to accept it they left it with a neighbour, who locked their door and kept it if your roles had been reversed, perhaps you would have been tempted but now it's too late; your goods have been pre-empted you shrug your shoulders, say "wouldn't it be sweet, if we could still buy these things on the high street?"
