What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[BoringSupreez]

I am done with eBay. I'm sick of buyers not paying for their items. Don't bid if you're not going to buy it. eBay needs to implement some sort of system to counteract this. I'm done with the non-committal attitude of both eBay and it's community.

I've solved that issue for myself by listing everything I put up for sale as a BIN with the requirement for immediate payment.

This is a religious issue. I didn't exactly point it out because most here wouldn't understand.

This might surprise you but I probably would understand.

If he's thinking of abandoning religion, that is.

Thanks for the well wishes guys and gals, and if things don't work out I won't be holding a sob sister party. If anything, IBM will be missing out (but I would totally take the job at the drop of a hat).

My luck and wishes to Kit and her family. She and Jinx are two of the nicest, polite new members on the board, and I'm sure everyone here is rooting for them.

Smile: Nice long jog in tolerable weather.

Frown: People who don't put their dogs on leashes and also manage to walk on the wrong side of the road, Walk against traffic, ride with it. And the two jerks who ran stop signs.

I feel like I need to post signs of telling people the rules of walking on the street. We even have bike lanes in my neighborhood, and people are in the middle of the road.

Smile: Didn't step in dog doo on my jog, and these new Nikes I got for my berfffffday are terrifffffic. Like running on a field of marshmallows with every step.

That's not what its about. Its a different issue.

Is it about how cryptic shit is annoying?

I've been trying not to mention it because of the reactions I've been getting IRL. They range from 'That is... interesting' to 'That is morbid, why would you want to do that?'. It can also be a sensitive subject for some, so I avoid mentioning it until asked for that reason.

After my grandfather "retired" he started working at a funeral home. Slightly morbid conversations became normal for that part of the family.

That made me laugh.

Honestly you are way better off with Amazon. The commission kind of sucks but there's no goofing with payments and games listed at the lowest price typically sell right away provided that you keep it the price updated.

(or the forums obviously, but I'm assuming you want cash or else you'd probably be listing here)

I still could probably help, if you need it! I'm here for any one, if I know them well or not!

Hmm...Department of Education has sold my student loan information to a not-for-profit named FedLoan Servicing. The reviews for them online aren't good, so now I'm antsy. I've talked to my father about it, and he told me not to worry, continue making my payments on time, and that this new organization will honor my contract with the Dept. of Ed., but having read some of the complaints with this group across various blogs and with the Better Business Bureau, I'm genuinely scared they're going to fuck up something. I don't like stories of people suddenly being erroneously charged up to $60k and then dealing with a group that drags its feet to fix issues but reports said issues to credit agencies.

Hmm...

Interest rate and minimum payment the same? If so, I agree with Papa Ack.

That said, I have no idea about your financial situation but if you do feel antsy even at a student loan rate, pay that sucker off asap.

The BBB serves its purpose, but at the same time any complaint, valid or not, sticks. I have a blemish on my business record since some lady's yarn was shipped a day late. She called the BBB, asked to erase the complaint, but once that complaint is made it is out of our control.

I wouldn't sweat it Ack.
