The Man

  In the past week, I have supposedly sold $230 worth of shit via eBay. The asshole that bid $200 on a doll never paid, it wound up being cancelled and I relisted immediately rather than play more games with the next two bidders. 

The other two that won dolls last week did pay - both were under $20. One tanked my shipping metrics by paying, then telling me they were leaving town and not to ship until Wednesday. One just paid, no BS no instructions, just mercifully paid. 

Suddenly, because they think I have $200 coming, eBay then charges me for a $69 international shipping label from last month. You know what I've got to show for $230 worth of sales? -$20.13. lol. Good ol' eBay. 

Today, they helped themselves to $1.00 I supposedly owed, despite last week threatening to restrict my account over $19, that they acted like they could not just take...lol. This bullshit is stupid and annoying. I don't like weird threats to take away my selling privileges over something they can just take care of themselves. I gave them the access to that account for that very reason - why can't they just shut up and take the fuckin' fees? They took the $1 no problem.

Meanwhile, I left my Etsy shop open during the "strike" and made $200 that I actually got paid. Man, if it was not for those stupid offsite ads, I would just move everything to Etsy. Sane people that pay for shit and lower fees for the most part. I've only had two nutcases in the last 11 years that I've been there. The Patty O'Green doll lady who was pissed about getting a refund instead of getting a doll, and the weirdo that thought I switched heads on ponies. 

I signed that petition for one reason and one only - Offsite Ads. I hate them. Of course, that's my nature anyway, being forced into something against my will has always rankled me.

The amount of times I took off from school and daycare - my Ma could tell you that...I don't like "The Man" telling me what I can and cannot do.
