    Bleurgh to dodgy buyers online! How dare they!!! This puts me off selling online now as there's no real support for the sellers.

    Did you feel great that it's not knocked your finances sideways though now that you're in brilliant control of your money?

    Roll on your payday! I hope you find a lonely £10 note lying on the pavement this week!

    Honestly brand new with tags item worn and returned used... think that's what they do for a living.. absolutely vile person tho! imagine if I was a mum on the breadline and needed that money for food for little ones ...grrr people have no shame but at least it happened to me and not someone in a worse financial situation than myself.


    Has demotivated me to sell but only two bad experiences since February and sold around 200 items so that's like 1 % of Buyers just unlucky I guess...
    Not worth me getting stressed about it. Ok couple of updates very poorly friend may see xmas at best so plans to up sticks and care for them are on hold for the minute.
    Job is very volatile ...but since I have stopped doing 2/3 jobs stupid hours a week I feel more tired than ever maybe just due to the UGLY jobs to do this week ....


    I am eating well...well like a little pig
    Bank is ..plus £2.21 so back within daily budget :)


    Need to post an ebay item ...say £2.80 postage?
    Buy some milk ..
    and get two TAXI's £10 so say £15 total .. going to scrap around and see if I have any cash floating around :)

  • That's shocking behaviour by some buyers! I haven't sold anything for years but it seems there are so many buyers trying to scam people these days. Funny, it used to be everyone was terrified of the sellers being the scammers!

    Wow, that's just ridiculous - surely Ebay would have judged in your favour if you had pics of before and after? Really doesn't seem fair on you so fingers crossed no more mad buyers.

    Re feeling wiped out, you might find you're just adjusting to a new routine and your body's remembering what sleep is for!

    Wooooooo to you being back on budget already too.
