  • Hi Yellow,
    When I ebay things I always make one trip to the Post Office a week, if the ebayers haven't paid by then they get it in next weeks trip...their own fault lol.

    Well done on your clothes bargains...I love new clothes!

    oh livvy the ebayers are doing my head in!! the one person who has paid up will get their item posted today and the rest (if they pay) will get theirs posted monday.
    feeling very annoyed about the whole money situation it's really getting me down, i always feel like this after i have spent some money, but i cant live my whole life not spending a penny!! i only feel settled when im sat in having a NSD, as soon as i go somewhere my mind is constantly on money.
    having a noice NSD today and then working the rest of the week.
    completley forgot on tuesday to put some more stuff on ebay so will do that on sunday night instead.
    we got sil's xmas prezzie yesterday in town, will leave it to OH to get bil's as i have no idea what to get him. I am thinking we should get mil a handbag so will keep my eyes peeled for a nice radley one.

    think im just feeling a bit blah over ebay to be honest, 3 outstanding payers, a cc to clear, an annoying person who bought one of my other items is hassling me. feel like jacking the whole ebay in but how else am i going to keep up the debt overpayments??? ggggrrrr, have no idea why i am making this such an issue, feeling very over sensitive latley

  • Aw Yellow, I know what you mean about ebay, its a total pest isn't it? I did it for a few weeks and I can't be bothered at the moment tbh, people just want everything for nothing and it does my head in.

    Well done for sticking with it though, you have more patience than me!

    Patience is running thin LL!! Ha ha, can't believe I have been cursed with 3 none payers out of 4 items.
    You are right about people wanting stuff for nothing though, people think there buying from a shop !!!!!! it's eBay not Harvey nics!!!
    Mailed them all yesterday 2 replied. 1 asked can she pay Friday, ok fine. The second said she would pay last night and didn't and the third didn't bother getting back to me.
    Will be opening a couple of disputes before work me thinks.
    Trying not to get too annoyed as I really need to keep on ebaying, think I'm going to take it down a notch to 3 items a week though

    No spending on the horizon today except the Vanquis card wants paying, other than that the cards are staying firmly in the purse
    Had an email to say my new clothes are on the way, hope there waiting for me after work, that will cheer me up!

    Bit of a mixed bag today, had a bit of a carpy meeting in work but got home to find a letter regarding that bill of 1100 that came from nowhere saying it had been reduced by 800.00 will call them on Monday to discuss that.
    Another ebayer had paid yey! Just waiting on 2 more now. 1 said she'll pay tomorrow the other hasn't replied to any of my mails so am opening a dispute this evening. They only have 5 feedback so not holding breath.
    I've still got a face like a slapped !!!!! and I dunno why!! !!!!!!, Ha ha x x

    The thought of paying off the cards is the only thing making me continue with flea bay at the mo lianne.
    Opened a dispute against the cheeky mare who hasn't replied to my mails.

  • Thats shocking that they haven't replied, it sounds like they have won the bid and changed their minds...they could at least have the balls to say so.

    I get annoyed with the people who complain about items they only paid £2 for. You are right though, they expect the items to be in mint condition...its bloody fleabay not Harrods !!!!!!!

    I know! What a pest! I have opened a dispute on that item but everyone else has now paid up, yey.
    Went to the work "do" last night, was really good, nearly had a panic attack though cos we had to pay ourselves and claim it back on expenses later. Good god I'm officially a freak with my bank acc, if money comes out that's not accounted for i have a breakdown!!!!

    New clothes delivered yesterday, happy with those not so keen on the shoes so they might go back.
    Free eBay listing this weekend so I'm happy I forgot to do it last week and will put some stuff on Sunday night
    No plans today other than behaving myself when it comes to spending!
