Hello from rainforest!!!

happycustomer · #1 06-01-2011

How is everyone? Im currently sitting in the sun in Maui, Hawaii, USA. Been here for a few months, primarily to play cards. Sadly, on 4-15-11, thanks to the US govt, the largest 3 poker sites shut down. So, im now just enjoying the beaches and relaxing!
Ive never been shut down by ebay despite making a lot of mistakes, just started off selling. In the first few weeks of research, Ive learned an amazing amount mostly from this forum. Looking forward to transitioning more energy to ebay. Trying to find some products to sell, have some ideas, the high profit VERO items are alluring but risky... and im staying away from beachbody LOL... I may sprinkle a few items in here and there, but ide like to focus on more legitimate items.
Anyway, hi all, and I hope to be a member here for a long time! Looking to make some friends and have ppl to talk to. Feel free to hit me up on yahoo messenger- mention ebay forum and ill add you, my name on yahoo messenger is paph_lowii

Welcome to the forums!! I heard about that major poker sites being shut down. I would suggest Bodog Poker, as they are still alive and well and the competition is quite soft all the way up to .50/1 and 1/2 (not so much headsup). I made quite a pretty penny heads up at .05/.10 and .15/.25

If you are tempted and do decide to sell anything vero, I would suggest keeping it off of your main account and make a stealth account from which to sell from. This will protect both you and your legit account.

No issues accepting US payments? Would love to find somewhere else I could play again.

Ive played on bodog in the past, but Im a NL holdem heads up (1v1) specialist, and bodog has the highest rake in the industry for NL heads up games. I have heard the games are soft though. I mostly play on Carbon now, some Cake, but I really miss Pokerstars. I used to be able to cash winnings out on there and have it in my bank account in less than 36 hours. O well.
Ya, I would now (never) sell Vero on a main account. Got to love how the auctions buyitnow in 2 hours or less for such large profits each time--- I can see how some retarded people get overzealous and go wild on it until they are suspended or worse. I found some REAL products that always work in English, just arent meant to be sold here I guess... Yet apparently, super **** fits over it. Well good reasons, I guess... haha!!! Oh, the wonders of the internet...

Pokerstars and Full Tilt were my places. I need to be back. How do you like Carbon?

happycustomer · #7 06-02-2011

Carbon is not bad. It seems to be benefiting the most from the US demise of the others. I won a $10k jackpot there in March, finally! Since bad beat jackpots only happen once every 2 million hands or so, (and never when I play heads up), Im hoping to make next $10k courtesy of ebay.

Thank you. Will be taking a look into Carbon this week and give it a shot I hope.
