    Ok so when I paid for Xmen vs SF on ebay, these guys emailed me a couple days later saying that they were sorry that they had no access to the email I sent the payment to. They asked me to send it to another email address and cancel the first one. Paypal emailed me about the unconfirmed payment so I knew they weren't lying. I cancelled the payment and sent it to the other email. Today I just got this email and I have no idea wtf they are trying to say. I believe you guys call it Engrish. So please help me decode this message:

    Dear (Me)Today we know that cancel of invoice let you to want 3-5 business to getback money.We are sorry to see this and would like to offer you that to reduce US$1as your waiting cost. It may not be a good discount in your view, but wish you understand itis a small business and like this arrangement.Thank you for your kind attention.Best regards,Mile, The Manager of tvgamesmile

    eh, i'm not that good at understanding and translating bad english, but i think they felt sorry because of all the troubles they had when trying to do bussiness with you, so they throw you a little discount: They reduce the item cost of 1 dollard US, because you where waiting (? maybe because of the troubles they\you had) and all. they say it's may be not a great discount in your eyes, but they wish you'll understand, accept this gift as an apologize, and do business with them again in the future.

    A kind move from them and nothing bad for you, anyway. ;)

    Yeah, it means they'll discount one dollar from the amount they charged you because of the trouble they put you into, and stuff. It'll, however, take 3-5 business days (I hope days) for you to be refunded from the account you first cancelled the order to.

    The account of cancel is very discomfort. We are many apologize.
    For annoyance of waiting 1 dollar get! Endless in victoly of a yourserf!

    I got the 1 dollar part, but that 3-5 days thing was fuzzy. Thanks a bunch!

    He means

    "(Me)Today we know that cancel of invoice let you to want 3-5 business to getback money."

    "Today (me) we found out that because you canceled the invoice it means you wait 3-5 business days to get your money back."

    Hence the ...

    "We are sorry to see this and would like to offer you that to reduce US$1as your waiting cost."
