The mysteries of Ebay

:xmassign: Oh the mysteries of Ebay, they are ten thousand fold
All the rules and regulations, so complicated to behold
Just scroll the lists of what's for sale, on this huge web auction site
Till you find what you are looking for, at a price you think is right
But please be careful when you bid, and don't get carried away
You've found an item that you want, now decide what you will pay
Beware shill bidding and nigerian scams, which look too good to be true
Or you will loose your goods or cash, and there's nothing you can do
Ebay advise the use of Paypal, as protection against these folk
But when you have to make a claim, the whole process is a joke
Selling on Ebay sounds like fun, nothing to it I hear you say
Just list your stuff, sit back and wait, for the buyers to pay
You 10 day listing is at an end, most of your items did not sell
And the final price of those that did, was very poor as well
You wrap and post the ones that sold, then add up all your costs
Including Ebay & Paypal fees, you've made a £15.00 loss
So if online auctions are not for you, you could try another route
Pack it all into a cardboard box, and head for your local car boot.
Sorry but it is pouring with rain here & I am bored, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, unless anyone can come up with a better one?.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even to the dull and ignorant,they too have their story. Avoid loud and agressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit
