Steamrolled


I jump through all these ebay hoops, Free shipping, 1 day handling, kiss buyer ass, Pack shit using brand new boxes and expensive packing material (bubble wrap $17 a roll, packing peanuts $10 a bag, large boxes $2.50 each, rolls and rolls of tape at $1.50 each, bubble envelopes $5.00 a package of 10 for the small ones), describe everything down to the most minute flaw, take crystal clear photos. Refund without question.

I get up, sometimes work at an auction house all day (unloading trailers, moving and unpacking boxes, cleaning things, organizing things) go home and pack shit for ebay, send it, list more shit, next day the same thing. Fridays it's snack bar from 4-9, sometimes 10. The auction is going on while I am in the snack bar so I have to watch it and bid while I also wait on people.

I sell and sell and sell and work and work and work and somebody, somewhere always seems to have it in for me and they always want my fuckin' house! It's an 80 year old 945 square foot dump with a leaky roof! Leave it alone!!!

Sears sued me in 2011 and put a lien on the house. The town wanted back RE taxes, also in 2011 or they'd take the house (of course) - I made a stealth ebay account and sold my diamond ring to pay them off because at the time I was limited to 13 items or $150, whichever came first on the main account. The town just last week hit me again with a $422 RE tax bill...pay it by June 18 or else we take your house... now the fuckin' trustee starts in on me...$685 or this Chapter 13 goes south.

Meanwhile, I work my ass off for basically nothing and field stupid messages like the one I got this morning about a $12 purse:
Hi...I won this purse earlier and have tried 3 times now to pay...once on my cell and twice online directly...and it says your Paypal is not accepting payment. What's happening? I bought this so I could get it and take it on our vacation at the end of next week. According to your post, it would arrive in time with the shipping you listed...hence why I bought the purse. So, how am I suppossed to pay if your Paypal isn't accepting payment for some reason?? Please respond as soon as possble so we can resolve this and you can get it in the mail and to me in time for my vacation. If you cannot get this to 'work', then please cancel the transaction and let me know so I can find another bag somewhere else. THANKS!
Last night, in their infinite wisdom, Paypal decided to suddenly (in the middle of 4 transactions) put a restriction on my account and not allow me to accept any more payments or access ones already made. This message goaded me to just use the EIN I applied for last month. I hadn't used it for fear that Poopal would trace the number back to my real name, but was forced to do it by Miss Impatient Vacationer.

WHY would you buy a purse online a week before you're supposed to go on vacation to take on your vacation? There's nowhere near you to buy one today? Oh wait...not a $35 one that you got for $12 with free shipping...free shipping that just wound up costing me more because I panicked and spent $2.35 extra for the priority shipping so that she'd get it before her goddamned vacay and shut her mouth about it. fhsdkljrperlsfsdkl!
