Earning a living?

[N7 Shadow]

My father passed away yesterday. I only had him here a couple weeks & it's all over already. I was able to take good care of him & I was with him when he passed.

Now I'm all alone, no family, no brothers or sisters. I'm in a big 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a $600 a month rent.

I set up 1 stealth account so far. I'm not ready to start selling & I don't even know what to sell. Starting tomorrow I have to go try to find a job.

I keep thinking about the buyers that totally screwed me in the past & how ebay & Paypal put me in this position. I was doing great on ebay back in the 90's. But they totally screwed me!

Now I'm asking myself the question, do I really want to support them & give them money? They totally screwed me over & if I get back on & pay there fees & give them money does it make sense? It's similar to somebody shooting you in the spine & paralyzing you from the waist down & then you go give them money & help them do the same to others. Or if a woman got raped & then gave the rapist money & helped him to to go rape other women.

It's a moral dilemma. Do I really want to support & help these Satanic demon b*****ds screw over more honest people? What kind of a person does that make me? I think I'm just gonna go find a better way to earn a living. I wanna take'em down & bury these evil demons NOT support them.

It's also such a huge hassle to keep juggling a bunch of stealth accounts & being treated like a criminal when I didn't do anything wrong. I did everything right, I did everything perfectly but the buyer didn't like the shipping price the USPS charged so I got punished. Do I really want to be involved with this insane psycho Satanic demon BS?

I can relate your pain N7, I am only one child but I am a mother with 2 kids I still have my husband also,but i can not rely on him,so ebay is my income source, I didn't give up after they banned me, i still learning until now but for me its a challenge, life must go on and never give up because there's always hope to success. Condolences to u and be strong!

Sorry about your loss. But when it comes to eBay and PayPal, you are looking at it from the wrong perspective.

It is not about supporting or not supporting anything. It is about making money for YOU!

And yes, I agree, Cats DO RULE!!!

I'm forced to do it anyway with my father so I might as well stick with it & get paid. I'm getting a ton of free training & experience so I might as well put it to use.

Buy an RV & live in it full time & travel around. I never want to be trapped in a rent or a lease ever again. I can't stand being in the same place for more than 6 months.

Go to pet grooming & dog training school. I'd like to work with animals. Cats rule!

CNA, animal grooming/training, ebay & an RV can give me he freedom I desire. I need to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

Sorry for your loss. Do what makes you happy and can earn you an honest living. It's hard to just relie on ebay for your primary source of income. Given your situation you should be able to get some sort of financial aid or a scholarship whether it's a trade school, tech certifications or going for your CDL if you like to be on the go constantly.

I wish I didn't go to a 4 year school and take on a bunch of debt it's a pain in the ass especially when your doing well for awhile making your payments and god for bid you miss a few the interest can be a real headache. Plus more and more entry level jobs don't require a 4 year degree like they use too. If you have a clean sheet of paper (no felonies) then the opportunities are endless. Goodluck Pal

But I was doing great & they f***ed me over. Now I have to start from scratch with 0 feedback & go through all this unnecessary stealth BS. Just so they can suspend & limit me again. Then I have to start all over again. Rinse repeat over & over & over.

It always amazes me the stupid **** that people will put themselves through for money.

This is abnormal! Constantly worrying about money every second of our lives. We weren't designed to live this way. It's ****ing retarded!!! It's not natural, man put this on us and everybody was stupid enough to go along with it.

Earning a living is one thing. Letting people like the one's that run ebay & Paypal get away with their insane retarded BS is a totally different issue.

I read that a high school diploma used to be the big thing. But the more people that had them,the less valuable they became. Then it moved to college degrees. College degrees were something special when not too many people had them. But now everybody has one so they're not as valuable as they used to be. Now that everybody has a college degree you can wipe your ass with it. They're as common as sheets of toilet paper.

I know they do help given what your background is in but when the mobile boom the past 5 years, I know people that went to comptuer tech schools and made out a lot better. Being in the right place at the right time helps also. Take one day at a time, things are rough everywhere people just don't like to say it. The economy and job growth is good but then again how many employees are underemployed a ton of them!

I think a lot of us on here just rather be our own boss and juggle a few hustles retailing/wholesaling on all the different platforms currently available.

I'm definitely the entrepreneur type. I can't stand holding a job & dealing with stupid employers. I don't like people much to begin with because this entire wold is under Satan's influence. I just want good clean honest work that doesn't bother my conscience. Like caregiving, running errands, making deliveries or mowing lawns.

Ebay is treating it's sellers like criminals when they've done nothing wrong. I despise liars more than anything. The first thing Satan did was lie. What's the most Satanic thing you can do? Murder? Rape? Steal? No, lying is the most evil Satanic thing there is. And what is ebay forcing us all to do? Use phony names & addresses. They're forcing us to lie like crazy. Every stealth account is full of lies.

I didn't do anything wrong. I charged the price the USPS charged, the seller didn't like that price, left me multiple negatives, knocked my DSR down & a month later my seller account was suspended indefinitely.I was treated like a criminal. And now I have to start lying to create a bunch of stealth accounts. Basically forcing me to follow Satan's methods. That's how Satan tricks you into doing things his way.

This entire world is evil. Plain & simple!

Interesting outlook, Stealth=Satan's Work

Youre never going to make it by telling yourself you cant do it. Youll never own anything by telling yourself you cant own it. All I see in your posts is a bunch of bull spit. Youll never advance with that attitude. Sorry to put it that way, but someone needs to give you a dose of the truth.

Take a step back, tell yourself you CAN do it, breathe....then post. You may be dealing with a lot in life...but we all are. Nobody can help you but yourself. That starts with a positive outlook on things. And quite frankly, YES there is a market in toys...I have turned a hefty profit on them. There are so many things that are profitable, its crazy to think someone is actually saying "theres no money there."

There was another person who came here with the same energy last year.

This is definitely the first thing he needs to address. the negative outlook on everything is actually hindering him more than he may realize.

These people do exactly opposite of what successful people do.

Unsuccessful people blame everything but themself so they never fix their problems while successful people blame themselfs and go about fixing it. Unsuccessful waste a lot of their time dwelling on negative thoughts unconsciously.

Everything you have around you is all because of you. Stop wasting your time blaming others (ebay for example) for your current status. You can't change them nor will they change for you. You can only change yourself.

The lesser you think about how ebay or anyone else did this and that to you the more time you have to think about developing the skills and gathering the information you need build a successful ebay business. Its not just this ome bad thought, it's all your negative thoughts.

Its not a matter of its possible or not. You know its possible because others are doing it right before your own eyes. Start figuring things out.

The next time a negative thought even crosses your mind just scream the word "STOP!" And replace it with a positive thought immediately. Do this every time a negative thought comes to mind. Youll start to realize how much negative thoughts you have in your head.

Everyone has only 24 hrs in a day. What are you focused on in these 24hrs?

Ill add by saying listen to self help audiobooks if you don't want to hear it from others. Just sit and listen to what these people say in the audiobooks. Its all over yt for free nowadays. Brian tracy is my favorite.

Sorry for your lost.

Some people retire at a very early age selling on ebay...

It really comes down to your skill, mindset, dedication, ability to hire, source goods, raise capital, manage risk and stress, etc..

Well, we can surely rate the OP as a good story teller.



Sorry for the loss of your father.

Appears to be a lot more sudden than you thought. Hard on you to keep everything together.

Ohhhh... So you're one of those crazy ****s?

Do you think it was a coincidence that your dad died so quickly or do you think he just gave up after listening to your Satan talk? I know that if I was dying and somebody would come with Satan and God talk, I'd pull the plug myself ASAP.

Not saying that losing a loved one is easy, but clearly you are as mad as Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest so yeah... I'm sure you'll find help from a random bible group full of like minded people. The force is strong with those people.

[yankee]

Sorry for your loss and I hope that this negative, toxic feeling/attitude you currently have will soon transpire into a positive and bright outlook and does not become your reality.

It's true. This realm is controlled by Satan. It can get dangerous if i go into dept on an open forum, so I won't.

[epimetheus039]

Put it this way. Ebay buyers dont identify you as a person, they identify you as a business, customer support, quality, price and etc. So, if you fulfill those terms well, you will get great reviews from people who are satisfied with all those aspects. Surely there are people who have bad intentions when they purchase on ebay but those are minimal and it's hard for ebay to filter those people with online methods they have. I mean they work but sometimes there are exceptions. Ebay is based on trust and that was the main idea of its finder that the communities can be as vast as the whole world; and surely not all communities are flawless. Burning "witches" is an example from the past?

[J dub 1984]

I don't believe that satan crap for a minute think the guy is just trolling

Let's take a look at your response. Nothing but one big insult. Do you even realize that you just proved my point about the world being totally evil? Calling me "crazy" & "mad" just because you're ignorant of the situation? . You have an opinion & then you turn into an immature little 1st grader & start flinging the insults. Your reply shows everybody that what I said is true.

My father had a stroke. He was confused, could barely speak & didn't even know who I was half the time. So no, I didn't talk about anything to him. I fed him & changed his diaper like a little baby. You should try it, maybe it would humble you a little. It would definitely help you grow up a little! And how do you know he wasn't like minded & wanted to talk about God & Satan? Your ignorance just proves what a Satanic apathetic hellhole we're living in. Insult what you don't understand like a little kid. Your post takes me back to the 1st grade. Hang on, let me go get my Battlestar Galactica lunch box.

And it really doesn't matter if you think I'm nuts or not. Our American dollar bill has an Egyptian pyramid with a weird, creepy eyeball floating above it. Do you know what that means? I do! Maybe you should go look it up & educate yourself. Learn just how ****ed up this world really is!

Besides, everybody always says "money is the root of all evil" so why do I even need to explain it to the likes of you?

[Haidukken]

Ah don't worry about a thing my man, it's all good.

All I have to say is that if in a year 2015 you still need religion to keep your **** together, then no wonder you can't enjoy the ride!

I'm not going to go into great detail about who I have lost and how I have lost loved ones because I have lost many, but for some reason I just see it as life. The same thing will happen to me and you, I guarantee you this.
It's 100% certain that I will die and so will you, people who you hate will die and people who you love will die.
If that thought alone will not motivate you to become a better man and enjoy this crazy ride through our dimension, then nothing will and I feel for you.
