You never know what will set it off. Plus, once you've done it, it seems like it gets easier and smaller activities will cause it. I used to dig holes Doug archaeological surveys and didn't have any problems while doing it. Then I'd go home and turn my torso in the kitchen to grab a bowl or spoon and drop to the floor.

:lol Nothing that exciting. Though I did get to help excavate a few bodies found in the way of a road development. Everything in Oklahoma has to be surveyed due to all the Native American settlement throughout the state. Got to dig up some cool artifacts that ended up in the Natural History Museum in Norman but most of the time it was just a lot of walking and digging holes with zero result.
 
I've got a full weekend ahead of me with Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond. My wife and I were going to take a little trip since it's a long weekend but everything goes up in price for the holiday. Since I'd also rather not have to deal with a ton of people everywhere we go, I'm happy staying home.
 
Man I have ****ing had it with buyers after my previously good streak. This one girl on myfigurecollection took interest in a Nendoroid I was selling, and was frankly derpy and oblvious. I sent her pics in message multiple times and she kept 'never seeing them' along with a whole **** ton of questions and wanted a price drop ($2 lower so whatever). Last minute she asks for some feedback and I send her my eBay one...and she says she's scared about getting ripped off (I waited for a month between days of no responses...) so she doesn't want to do it anymore. Why didn't she ask this earlier? Why only now?

What the **** is wrong with people?
 
I've grown really tired of getting questions about stuff and trade several messages, tell them the price can be negotiated... and they just up and never get back to me...

Get hit by a train.
 
I'm wanting to throw a bunch of stuff on eBay but am dreading it. I blocked quite a few people last time I put stuff up for sale just because they bothered me too much. I started blocking people that message me with ridiculously low offers as well. I put a minimum on there for a reason. If you get denied, messaging me to ask if I'll take that amount isn't going work.
 
Yeah I hate the messages that ask for things to make it so much easier for them. I really hate it.

I do sort of dislike sellers who take too long to ship items or don't respond back though but I think that's more understandable. It's only if I'm trying to get something rare and not sure about the seller and stuff.
 
the thing that kills me is 1/2 the people have no idea what they are messaging you about on the evil bay... i sell a bunch of stuff and get stupid questions... then i tell them that all the answers they want are in the auction description. some will go so far as to say that they didn't read the auction description!! wtf??? the ignorance is astounding sometimes! lol
 
I get a lot of people that don't read the auction description too.

the scams are gettin out of control too! amazing that ebay seems to give 2 shiz about sellers anymore. all they want to do is cater to the buyers. i had a guy buy an item... filed for a return with the "item not as described" and in his description of return put that he didn't read what he was buying. i'm not eating shipping on this idiot, so i deny the claim and quote this idiot stating that he didn't read the auction (which breaks their buyers agreement of use terms)... and ebay gets involved 7 days later. they end up returning the guy's money and tell me not to worry about it as it won't negatively effect me or my account and they'll take care of it!! so the idiot gets to keep the item AND gets his money back! WTF is wrong w/ those people???

That's ridiculous. I had a guy buy a figure and complain about something he thought was broken but wasn't. He wanted a $40 credit so I told him to just mail it back and I'd pay for shipping. I said I'd rather sell it again with the extra shipping thrown into the price to make my money back then send him credit for something that wasn't broken. He kept trying to get me to send any amount back then finally let it go when I wouldn't budge.

Holy **** you should bring that up to the police or something, how the **** does this **** happen!? :cuckoo:

F that scammer! ridiculous! people know that they can get away with it and ebay will side with them. so i see more and more of this!

i had an idiot try to claim something was broken in shipment... (it was a small plastic cover i make the size of a postage stamp ) and i ship these things inside a small round plastic makeup container chicks use for makeup and eyeshadow etc. has a screw on lid and it's built like a tank. so i go out and take a picture of my truck parked on top of the container!! then send the guy the pic and ask how it possibly "got broken" in transit when i can park my truck on top of the shipping container! he never replied back and just waited for ebay to pop in and give him his $... such a joke! :mad:
 
Sorry to hear you got involved with such a **** head. Exactly the reason why I use that site as a last resort, since most people in this place are such thrifty ****s and feel they are owed a deal. At least on eBay, more often than not you'll make the sale and have to take it up the ass with fees.
 
yeah i know... stinks tho not having much other avenues. the really craptastic part is the stupid paypal fees. they con you w/ "oh it's only 2.9% fee" which is BS!! i sell a lot of stuff and the price is around $10. ON TOP of the 3% fee they hit you with a transaction fee... so my realistic paypal fee is about 7%. shiz adds up on a ton of items sold!
