[LPW#58] It Had To Be Done

[FinalPyre]

I don't work at all XD

well, there's no such thing as part-time job over here

That is really strange. Are you sure? Companies just NEVER need people to work odd shifts, or fill in gaps? Seems really strange to me, since part time employees seem very useful.

 

[Rucking Fetard]

Nope, none at all :\

 

[~SnowAngel~]

everyone's telling me not to work even though I wanted to try something ;;
oh well, I know for me that it's probably true XD
If I could choose, I'd just work at home all day~ I'm kinda doing that already lol

 

[FinalPyre]

If I didn't work at all my parents would nag me like crazy... even though at this point I hardly need the cash. But more savings is always a good thing :D

 

[~SnowAngel~]

I tried selling something on amazon today, but it wouldn't let me sign up because of some stupid error x-x
there's tons of some of my dad's old junk I could sell, maybe pay all of my tuition with it lol.
He bought them to sell in the first place x-x he just gets discouraged easily.

 

[FinalPyre]

Maybe try e-bay? ^^

what things u sell snow??

 

[~SnowAngel~]

ummmmm lessee, there's some of my mom's stuff that she wants me to sell for her. (horse training series, and furniture, some curriculum). My dad's stuff is really just antique's or more affordable replicas of them (lots of small bottles like elephants or apples).
I won't do ebay since they only use paypal, and there's lots of horror stories about that x-x of course, amazon isn't any better so idk. I might do both if I have to :o maybe I can sell some of my books too lol.

[FinalPyre]

Paypal disputes can suck, I've heard [MENTION=7722]Second_Flight[/MENTION];

 

[Second_Flight]

i seeeeeeeee.....

 

[FinalPyre]

They can freeze your account and then nobody gets the money for a while ;_;

 

[Second_Flight]

h...how they do that..???? because of what.??

 

[~SnowAngel~]

lol/... horror story.???

just search things like Paypal scams, or truth about paypal, etc. There was one website that collected things about them, even videos of them with customer support. It's all about how the buyer basically gets something for free, and the seller has to pay for it.

ebay owns paypal, and they make profit from your "profit" by freezing accounts. (using it for stocks or who knows what)

some people use credit cards to buy things on amazon, file a claim with the card company to get a refund, and send the package back to amazon. Amazon then demands payment back to the customer.

 

[FinalPyre]

If it maybe gets damaged in the mail, or they decide they don't like it. Some silly reasons really. And then they try to freeze their PayPal payment. :/

.........................

 

[FinalPyre]

Yeah exactly

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

So paypal is... bad?

 

[FinalPyre]

So paypal is... bad?

No, for the most part it is totally fine. Just for sellers it is possible to run into trouble on rare occasion.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... well sometimes the seller really does mess up...

 

[FinalPyre]

Indeed. Which is why it is important for those precautions to be in place. But people have the ability to maybe take it a bit too far, if they know what they can get away with. :(

 

[~SnowAngel~]

paypal is not a bank, is the best thing to think about. It's okay if you need to use it sometimes, but it has so many problems.
ex: takes weeks to add/withdraw funds. Payment disputes have very strict criteria, and may be impossible to correct (or expensive).
The interesting thing is, alot of these problems take place in the middle east, so it's very expensive (not worth your money) to get a refund, which is crazy x-x. My dad found a way around that (shipping was greater than the $80 refund originally), so it came at a cost. All I know is to just buy things from amazon or other places first. Paypal takes forever, and Ebay is just sooo annoying with bids.. I heard of another place, but I forgot what it was called. People basically buy bids, and bid with penneys. The bidders actually pay for the item with their bids so it looks like something is 90% off. It technically is, but it's really weird how it works :o
it was penny bids or something like that. My brother said he got lots of stuff for cheap doing that. The thing is just knowing when to bid. You can tell it to bid a number of times automatically and all soooo that helps~ I just don't like dealling with bids.. it's stressful and there's software that just totally destroys you ;;

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol isnt bids sort of like shoving money in at the last moment? ;p
