Online selling bad for my health
 

You know what I keep noticing now... every time I log into AZ eb or PP if there is anything different about that first screen my heart skips a beat or like I got agita or something. Its like I am almost expecting to see some nasty notice every time I log in.

I might have to start taking tranquilizers before logging into these hell holes any more.

That's why I don't Ebay or Amazon. PayPal is bad enough to deal with.

If you plan to do this long term I would seriously consider diversifying your income.

I will not rely on a 3rd party for my income. PP just makes me more money, but I don't really need them.

I give credit to those here who endure the BS having to deal with EB and PP, I'd probably shoot myself in the foot if I had to depend upon those misfit companies. :eek:

I did the same thing 4 years ago. Just never knew what was going the change every time I logged into something.

eb and pp were eating me alive.

Not anymore, they dont bother me, they cannot defeat me and they wont every hurt me again.

I have the upper hand now and if anyone should be nervous it should be eb trying to find a way to screw someone who has a nest egg of accounts waiting in the wings just in case.

eb and pp are medicines, they fix all that ails you. Now every morning when I wake up and head to check sales on the 20 running accounts for the week they put a smile on my face, money in my pocket and get the urge to list on another 20 accounts.

Just defeating them at their own game will more then enough end all your worries and frustrations.

They wont defeat me, never ever again.

Knowing your post I know you well enough to know that you can put a nice whoopin on them as well.

Fun and rewarding!

Dont ever break the golden rule of being stealth.

Control them, do not let them control you.

So what if the screen's different?

Deal with it and move on.

Scream, rant, rave, kick the cat, the wife, the auto.

Then sit down and make another account or ship out that item.

Stealth is merely a GAME. Play to win, not be controlled.
That bottle of purples pills are mine. Pass them to me ;)

Spoken like field tested Warriors. :hail:

Zoneout, do what sandy does rotate the accounts. Have a lot on standby chances are out of 100 a few will go down, customers, human errors. For every account they take down. you open up 5 more and sell on 3 of those just to make up for it!

You can't give up so easily! Or else you won't make it in life!

I used to feel exactly the same .
Used to dread logging in especially if i had the gawl to ever take a day off .
It wasnt until i realised accounts are free more or less .
They may take a few but they will never take them all .
Now i honestly could not care less .
Theres bigger problems in the world than to worry about ebay accounts.

I print up the notices.

Put them on the dart board.

Alternate between those notices & photos of Shrek Rooney & The Baconfaced tramp Slur Alex.

Spend 10-15 minutes throwing darts at them.

All the angst goes.

Then I go and live in the real world.
:peace:

We all choose to play in their game.

No one to blame but ourselves if we are frustrated.

I try not to get emotional when they mess with my account.

I know a few people right now fighting Cancer, they could care less about Ebay and PP.

Very good ..

TRUE
An internet based resource that lets us sell our own possesions..
Big of them ..
Lets not make it more than it is .
People have real problems in life , illness , poverty and such
Our issues with a stupid web based company are a game when compared to such .

Had this issue as well before.

Advice: PRACTICE MEDITATION

I even did quick smoking via meditation

I used to do this, eh sometimes still do, but not nearly as much. Once you start to sell on many accounts losing one is not the end of the world. Nothing but good surprises lately, had an account go from 10/$1000 to 100/$5000 yesterday and 10/$1000 to 30/$2200 not long ago.

I think I've gotten to the point where I know how to handle this and even if something does go wrong I have plenty of backups. In my experience eB just doesn't shut down an account automatically with no reason. Every account I've had suspended after learning about stealth. I saw it coming and did little or nothing to prevent it, thanks to my impatient nature. But now I'm prepared to dodge a few bullets. Patience is really important, every account I had shut down after stealth has been due to MC warnings and not being patient enough to sit them out.

@OP, keep nice inspiring photos and calming things around your work desk.

Remember that you (zoneout) are bigger than a simple limitation/blocking of account - they can block 1 account but you can ALWAYS bounce back.

The other thing that worked for me a few years back was to walk away for a few days.

Sometimes you need a break and it will refresh your thoughts and you can dive right back into it.

a nice holiday :)

When you can go order a new truck and pay cash for it after never being able to do it in your 20's then those long hours online turns from ills to joy.

I walked away for ONE year, then I decided to fight back. :fight:

It all depends upon what truck you bought. =}

:pound:

Sandy is right, walk away. Even at times I put up a 5 day vacation status, a few times a year just to get a break and not worry about orders, customers, questions, and all the other bs that comes along with it!

Look go to Mcds get an $8 an hour job! After 40 hours let us know if you wether do stealth or Mcds! You'll be more thankful and happier!

There is nothing better then working for you only and earning all the money you can have!

Thanks everybody!

I took a nice break yesterday, went to a friends house, grilled some steaks and had a couple Sierra Nevadas. Watched some NBA allstar stuff which was lame but at least Charles Barkley was entertaining as usual.

Got home, searched youtube for some bootleg music that I never heard before - very nice. Even found some meditation/hypnosis sessions on youtube - very relaxing.

Of course then today I get some problems with my bank accounts but like you all say - there are probably ways to deal with it - especially with help from my friends here.

So great suggestions everyone - maybe one day we can do one of those tax-deductible conventions on a cruise ship or at a resort and chill for a few days and swap stealth stories. :pop2:

I been thinking the last few days how cool would it be to met up with some of you!

Yeah, I remember Roscoe saying he used to do marketing seminars with like thousands people. It might be cool to do a Stealth convention some place maybe Vegas, or even San Jose :lol::lol::lol:. Maybe Aspkin could be the keynote speaker!

No no no, you can't do that. Or else PP/EB will try to find a way to stop us!

Remember whenever the system is abused, they jack up the security to make it harder!

I'd like to met Roscoe some day! Guy is so cool/awesome! Has a lot in his mind!

MarketersCruise.com

I'm ready, let's go.

I've been to many conventions with like-minded people (the mastermind theory). They are fun, exciting, and you come home with so many ideas but not enough time to implement.

All Tax Deductible to boot. The best thing about any convention are the Contacts you meet. You can do a JV later, chat on Skype, motivate each other, etc...

There is a direct corelation to going to these conventions and your income rising the following 12 months. :bounce:

I hate you man! LOL

That JV stuff builds in my mind a lot. For my future products! I can't wait to get there! OHH And I got something for you! Next PM I'll tell you about it!

If I go on another cruise I will make sure they wont leave us stranded for 4 days with no food or water like what happened recently.

:eek:

Or dont go during hurricane season lol

OMG What happened??? WOW

Cheaper deals! :pound:

:doh:

Maybe the problem Sandy is that with your business savvy, you sold all the food and water supply without thinking in advance :mad2: :eek:

A few days back a large cruise ship had a fire on board.

Instead of finding a way to get people off the ship they left them on board.

Ran out of food, no water, no running bathrooms, etc.

I cannot believe a cruise ship would not have an evac plan.

What happens if the entire thing goes up in flames?

EVER HEARD OF HELICOPTERS or SMALLER BOATS Carnival? :eek:

No I would have brought on board extra in a back pack just in case the cruise line screws up like this one did.

I would have made a killing on that boat selling.

I also would have been hoarding up bottles of water from the boat.

I would have posted signs--

If you need water come to Room 4B.

Water, 10.00 a bottle.

Snacks 2 for 10.00.

When I ran out, then paid a private helicopter to come pick me up.

What would you charge for a life jacket Sandy ?
People may jest but when you are responsible for your own income you can never stop .
It becomes part of life.
You see things in a different way to the normal employed masses .
I holidayed in Malta late last year .
Upon noticing the large amount of classic UK cars still there i spent the bulk of my hols tracking them down and buying them .
Wife was not happy but they never are .. they simply dont understand .
It was the best bus mans holiday ive had for a long time and payed for itself many times over.

Now a life jacket would be big bucks.

Wife not happy?

Shame on you to go on vacation and spend HER time looking at cars.

Oh yes we do understand men. :eek:

WOW That sucks

"When I ran out, then paid a private helicopter to come pick me up."

I was thinking the private helicopter to bring more supplies in! :pound:

I've been on about 6 cruises and all were a great experience.

Carnivale, Royal Carribean, and NCL.

You are not allowed to bring Food and Drink on cruise ships, it's the same as going thru customs at the airport.

Helicopters have a very, very short fuel range, about 200 miles total. No helicopter can make it out to sea and back.

Carnivale did a good job in this crisis. There were 4,200 passengers + 2,000 employees. People would have died had they tried to evacuate 6,000 people, not possible.

Not one person died or was injured from what I've heard. Plus the people getting off the ship all look in good health.

If something should go wrong on a cruise ship you are ******

Heart attack, stroke, appendectomy, etc... you'll most likely die. It takes 1-2 days to get to port.

Even if they have enough life boats, no one incl staff knows how to use them. Tons of staff turnover, training for rescue is pathetic.

Plus everyone is so Fat from eating food 24/7 a life boat could only carry one person. :doh:

Most inshore helicopters have a range of 200 - 300 miles .
However the bulk off offshore helicopters have an average range of 1000 miles.
Im a bit of a helicopter fanatic after flying in the RAF when younger.
Even the age old UK seaking can muster 800 miles on a fill up and thats 25 years old.
Surely enough for Sandy to get her goods so yes lots go out to sea , been there and done it.

Roscoe your like me man. Always into details about miles on the helicopter even I didn't think of that but then again maybe they were not that far! lol.

And one would be expensive I think lol. So funny.

Bruceuk - so funny man! You guys are awesome! No matter what topic we talk about! :thumb:

I have a friend who pilots helicopters and he told me most won't travel more than 200 miles total.

In regards to Offshore helicopters I'm sure a few can travel further. I know that onshore vs offshore helicopters are probably more than a 100-1.

Can you imagine airlifting more than 6,000 passesngers, many of them seniors.

I guarantee there would have been injuries if not death.

Carnivale did the right thing. I saw a TV show yesterday and a Carnivale executive said they went thru all scenarios including Helicopters, ship to ship transfer, etc...

He said the analysis was to deal with the current situation and return to the nearest port.

In hindsight he was correct. No one died, no one injured, just pissed off passengers.
