I've had a couple of quiet days since getting a horrible message on evilbay. Someone was just really rude to me because i 'dared' to send them a message asking if they could let me know when they were going to pay because i was going to the post office on Monday and wanted to get all parcels posted.
I know i am very sensitive to this kind of thing and it has just floored meI wanted to get more items listed but now i don't even want to log in....
I have listed a few things on fb now instead and got a couple of payments in too. Have just over £20 in paypal now but i'm sure i wanted some money in paypal for something so leaving it there for now until i figure out what.
I have started doing a few more surveys again - still checking one poll daily and have it up to £26.45 now.
Fighting the urge to hide under duvet atm so pleased i have managed a few things!
Right Fairyclicks..........you have been an inspiration not only to me but to many others on this thread and many others no doubt......compare the many on here who are positive and friendly to that one evilone on the evilbay and we far outweigh the bad!
There are nasty people aplenty in this world but it is up to us how they make us feel!
Keep smiling and do what you do best!!

Fairy clicks, I completely understand and sympathise wholeheartedly. Many people have no idea or don't care about the damaging impact they can have. There must be something in the water this last week. We've recently decided to rehome one of our dogs and placed an advert for him explaining how difficult it was for us, how desperately we wanted to ensure the best possible treatment for him and listing several conditions regarding new owner requirements. We wanted to be 100% certain he would be safe and loved. We've had many beautiful replies with people even mailing just to say that although they were not suitable, they wanted to praise us for being so caring and responsible by vetting so thoroughly. Then last night, one, vicious individual replied telling us to get over ourselves and that they could provide the most perfect life ever for him, but because he didn't match our ridiculous and oversold demands, that we had really p*ssed him and probably a lot of other people off too. I spent the rest of the night in tears tbh. Its taken all day for me to pull myself together and keep telling myself, that his life, is clearly far less rewarding or enriched with love than mine is.
The reason people can upset you so much is because you care. You care because you are a good person with a warm heart. Any person who can send such needlessly unpleasant energy in your direction, with no obvious gain or reason but to inflame or hurt, clearly is not a good person. Don't allow them to devalue your perception of yourself or the quality of your life.

I've carried on with my money making this afternoon and earned £1.50 on My Survey (almost able to cash out my next £5 Amazon voucher), written some more on Textbroker for £3.70 and made £15 on a casino website (won £35, initial deposit £20). I should also make £30 cashback on Quidco for the casino sign up but won't count this until it tracks and confirms.
So does quidco pay back enough to essentially null your casino sign up or am I reading that wrong?0 -

I should have said this was last weekend i sent the message asking when they were going to pay, i got message to say they had paid on Wed and I posted on Thursday. I got the rude message after logging in on Friday.
Now i am pretty sure they will leave me neg feedback or say they didn't get goods etc - I forgot to do it recordedI just find people like this so hard to deal with now (probably due to work history/bullying etc) and it will put me off listing again no doubt for another few months....I had just got over the last nonsense when I got a whole pile of messages from someone because I posted something 1 day late after being really ill about 6 months ago.

Did you "buy the label" from egray ? - I never do - I take them to PO and post them 2nd class with Proof of postage.
I sometimes get messages saying "When are you going to post" - because they are used to getting a notification from the machine as soon as you buy the label, which means if you do happen to be late - they notify the punter of it. I notify manually, usually, but sometimes I forget. Occasionally we all get it a day late because we're working or family issues etc and if I am late I don't notify them of the postage. almost invariably the post is a bit quicker and they still get it in time. ;)I also give myself the "3 WORKING day despatch".
Another benefit of the PO dispatch is that the PoP they give you has the acual weight printed on it. I had one stroppy message from a woman I sold "1kg" of some loose material and she claimed to have weighed it at 200 grammes ! - I asked her to check her scales with a 1kg bag of sugar and she said she had, getting more irate all the time. She confirmed the package was intact, and at that point I told her teh PoP said I had posted 1.25 kg on such and such a date to her post code..
She shut up then with a "oh I'm not going to make a fuss over such a trivial amount " and left me very good feedback !
Don't stress yourself FC - If they leave bad feedback, you can just reply to whatever they say and say that a simple mistake on your part was no excuse for a tirade of vitriol And bad feedback was a bit harsh !
Keep at it lass - most of tehm are fine and normal understanding people - a few are just Keyboard warriors and scam artists - but no reason to lose sleep (or money bu not listing ) x0 -

Hear ! Hear !
Well said KM
I heard somewhere that " there are only about 10 truly bad people in the entire world - Of course they do get around a quite lot " :rotfl:0 -
About £11 on a small item, which I may get away with as a large letter and save a little bit more on today.
Also a weeks worth of logs cut and split.
Met an estranged family member in the church yard and passed a few pleasant words, so maybe - just maybe there's a glimmer of hope there !0
