FYI FAO: Anyone with an ebay account. I am holding the sale of the century!

A good idea? It's full of flaws.

It's prejudicial to people who have little income or are selling heavier items which cost more to post, it will lead to worse ratings for people. Me personally I'd be fucked if I don't sell all this excess of string. Theyr'e forcing me to be a shit seller because if I'm forced to wait 21 days until I get the postage money that someone has given me on good faith then they wont' receive their package for probably a month if not longer. Who does that benefit exactly? Not the seller and not hte buyer either.Considering 100% of the time they side with the buyer anyway even if you have evidence they're wrong I serioulsy don't think that buyers need even more protection from so called 'bad sellers'.

It benefits the buyer. And they expect you to have the money for shipping before you put the item on for bid. It's so you don't collect the buyers money and then take off without delivery of said item.

Everythinig to do with ebay and paypal benefits the buyer. And no they don't. It's not in the terms and conditions that you have shipping money yourself, the buyer is paying for shipping and therefore it should be perfectly acceptable that you use the money they pay for postage on postage. Once they pay you can print out postage labels on paypal so you can prove you're spending just as much as they gave you and not making money off postage. It makes more sense that way.
 
Where's my fuckin' string? You marked it as despatched yesterday and the postie has just been. Guess what! No string. You live a mile away. Why don't you just deliver it? If there's no string here by tomorrow I'm giving you negative feeback bitch. Just because tardwife is down south for the day, don't think you can pull this shit on me!

:lol: ilu
 
I've not finished my users guide to string. Please sir, if you could just calm down, our prioirity at thin air gifts is to ensure that all customers can get the maximum enjoyment from their purchase. Without the completed how-to guide enclosed we feel this may limit the potential for use of this item.

We thank you for your patience.

You think I'm stupid? You think I need an instruction book on how to use my new string? Well let me tell you missy, I've been using string since before I was born. I damn near invented string. Not only are you selling me goods you've no intention of providing, you're now calling me stupid. That's the last piece of string I'm buying from you, let me tell you.

You think I was born yesterday don't you? Well I wasn't. I was born a fuck load of time ago. I was born so long ago even I can't remember when it was, and I can remember an awful long way back.

Paypal and ebay have conspired against me and created a new arbitrary policy whereby they hold all your money for 21 days or until you get positive feedback for the transaction. This sanction is taken off once you reach 100 feedback and you will then have full control once more of what is rightfully yours. It's kind of fucked up my finances as I've sold a lot of stuff, have a lot of money in my paypal account but no way to access it in order to get the money to post out all my items which weigh a ton.

However we have a cunning plan.

Who would like to purchase a length of string from me on ebay? No payment needed, just fantastic feedback until I reach 100 individual feedbacks. My mother has just purchased a fantastic and very durable (lets say it's purple) length of cotton for all her sewing needs. Would anybody else like to invest in this once in a lifetime bargain deal? Cotton may or may not arrive. Stock is very limited (43 lengths of varying colours, sizes and odours) and if you don't buy now you'll certainly regret it later!

ARE YOU FCKING SHITTING ME WITH THIS SHIT?!!

What the FAWK. I've gotten all sorts of fucktards who gripe @ the smallest shit and have left negs. Now, after all the retarded time it takes to list a bunch of stuff, I have to wait for some picky shithead to leave pos feedback?

Fuck Ebay.
 
I have 3 bank accounts bro. As it happens I'm at 76 feedback now, paypal have contacted saying 60 would suffice so it may be okay. I've had some payments released and printed off most the postal labels I needed.

Thank you invisible string!


Oh wait. So....you need more than 100 pos feedback to START with?

Ooook then, I have 980 + or something. Hm
 
I've used ebay for years and my rating is just 168 with no neg feedback but I rarely sell anything on there. The shipping aspect makes me not want to sell stuff.
 
I did some before Christmas and stuff, it's a pain in the ass to be honest. It's cool listing stuff and getting all the money but then you have to wrap it up, send it out and that's such a drag.

Listing AND sending is a fcking drag!

I just buy now. :)
