Ever since my mother got an iPod earlier this year she is really getting into Neil Diamond again. As long as I don't have to listen to his music I generally don't mind that. But my mother wants every album and dvd, which wouldn't bother me except that my father is rather paranoid when it comes to banks and he doesn't want to use Paypal or even, with Dutch webshops, use online money tranfer. So I've been ordering and advancing the money for my mother's ND orders.
Now, however, it seems that she has every Neil Diamond thing available in Europe and she is looking at American webshops. I tried to explain to her that you have to pay import tax but I don't think she (wants to) understand this. Through a ND forum she comes up with rather dodgy looking shops today. She proudly tells me you can pay with Paypal (I prefer that over using my father's cc). She got mad when I told her that I don't want to order at those shops because I don't trust them with my Paypal details(I guess I've inherited some of my father's paranoia).
Another thing she got mad at my new rule that when she wants me to order and pay for something I want the money up front. She still owes me nearly €100 (a lot of money for me) and every time I ask her about it she tells me she'll repay later that day or tomorrow. Hopefully I have time to discuss this situation with my dad some time next week or after Christmas because I'm really getting tired of being the go-between.
