I’m so sick of these sites, but where else do you go?
I’m so sick and tired of these Controlled Auction sites, Yes they have served their purpose, yes I have made money but I’ve also had to “pay dearly” in fee’s too; Once again this time of year when I need my money the most, I am having to cow-tow to them in one way or another; Why is it that these Mega-Giants feel the need to control our money earned this time of year??
Is it some ploy to manipulate our little earnings to do other things with? I don’t know I just don’t know; What is it
you ask that I am rambling on about?? Well I’ll tell you every so often these Mega-Giants feel the “need” to control things more than they already do; I made a “sale” today well yesterday, logged on this morning to see the sale, log into my paypal account and wouldn’t you know it? They decided that they’d hold out on my funds until the customer received their merchandise? WHY???? I get no straight forward answers, I’ve had nothing but positive feedback for all my sales; And yet they feel the need to hold my funds when I need the money the most right before Christmas what a bunch of JERKS they are. I had no plans for this income other than to buy some much needed groceries why else would I be selling my stuff from home? As a hobby? Not in my case, I am selling what few items I have left as a way to “get by” each month like all my other little adventures online trying to get by each month; trying to make it because what I get per month on Disability is not enough by any means to make it: I’ve been an online seller the last three years going on four years now and its always always something with these companies, when I call them, they don’t care about my situation, they don’t give a flying “fig” what’s going on in my world or “why” I need that money now; I wish they could be in my shoes just once the JERKS!
When I run out of items to sell and I”m almost there, I’m going to give both of these MEGA-GIANTS a piece of my mind, I know it won’t do any good and they for sure aren’t going to care but I will feel better in doing it; (G)!
I’ve tried to sell and list my items on other auction sites that don’t charge fee’s or big fee’s to list or when you do make a sale but Ebay and Amazon rule in the auction world and if you don’t “kiss their as$$$$” on regular basis you can bet you’re gonna get screwed right and left…Sure I’ll get my money here if and when my customer does leave me feedback like all my other customer’s have, they expect me to wait it out for 21 days …WTF is that all about??
THAT’S A LONG ASS WAIT WHEN YOU ARE DESPERATE FOR MONEY, but I repeat they FLAT OUT DON’T CARE!!! THE PIGS! Let’s just keep stepping all over the little poor person here, I hope they get their Jollies today because I’m sure not getting mine and I know no one else cares either but at least I can express myself here in my own little world on my own little blog and I am so grateful to have this place where I can come to vent out my frustration, or share my joy, or express my pain , or whatever it is I am feeling; Today I am just livid! I’m livid at these places that do this right on the week of the upcoming Holiday and its not the first time this has happened to me either Oh no!! Not the first! I might not remember something that happens a few minutes ago but you do something to make me mad , and I am plenty MAD, I will remember it just like the “memory” of an old Elephant…LOL! It’s not a lot of money either not to most of you its $49.99 +S.&H. It’s a 10K Gold Bracelet is maybe why the Item got flagged I don’t know, stupid jerks!! All I know is one minute I’m so happy to have this sale right before Christmas and the next minute I am so pissed off I could just smash the computer in and reach through my phone and smack the “bejesus” out of the nimrod I am talking to on the phone;
OH and get this, I asked the person via paypal I said I have
no money for S.&H. unless you release the funds…at least release enough for me to ship the damn thing, so they do whatever they are doing on the other end, then come back on the phone and say ok you can ship it UPS, I said WHAT???
You can release enough funds to ship out the item UPS, but that’s not what my customer paid for they paid for USPS/PRIORITY MAIL/ 2-3 DAYS PLUS INSURANCE!
RRRRRROOOOOAAARRRRR!!
Yeah they wanted me to ship it at a “higher cost” but yet a SLOWER DELIVERY DATE now wouldn’t that just piss you off if you were the customer??? It would me!!
I ranted and raved and told them NEVER MIND I will go “kiss my Father’s grouchy old butt” beg him for some money around $8.00 so I can ship this off tomorrow…THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR NOTHING!!! HOW STUPID ARE THEY THERE AT PAYPAL???
And why does something like that bother me? It’s a long 47 year old story between my Father and me and one I can’t go into in a few lines here that’s why…Personally I’d rather be slapped than to ask him for anything especially when it comes to money; (sigh)!
Now I think I’ll go have that nervous breakdown! I’m so sick of
FEE-BAY…sick of their PAYMENT COMPANY PAYPAL I’ve another
name for both of them but cannot type it out here..
if you know what I mean….
I cannot be alone in this matter and I”m sure its happened to other’s out there, these places just make me sick but where else can you list something and get a sale?? Like I said they own the corner market on this shit and they damn well know it too: They are out for the almighty dollar and don’t care what happens to any of us Poor people:
