Wow.  This is the first morning this week I had a few minutes to say hi and see what's up.  Sooooooooooo, wassup?  I have been busy like crazy this week.  Been buying new stuff.  Always buying new stuff but when I make a big buy, I have to come home, do what I call inventory, like knowing what color and size and how many, and of course get pics and get items listed.  Have to pin my daughter down to model the clothes.  That is like pulling teeth sometimes.  I also got a call yesterday to show some property tonight.  Yay!!  Imagine that.  So I will do that later too.  Also getting ready for a party at my place this Saturday night.  We had a big bash about 3 weeks ago and have so much booze left over, that we are having another party.  I had the good fortune to have my dear blog friend Bayker fly in for that last hulabaloo, and that made it so special for me.  This should be fun this Sat nite but sadly, no Bayker at this party.  Anyway, gotta figure out the menu and get moving on that!  So I ask again, wassup with you guys?  

Can't even stay right now.  Hope you are all great.  Will stop in later I hope.  Thanks!!!

The seller is tms-wholesale.  Would you guys buy from this yahoo?  He has 771 negs in the last 12 months.  I'm thinking that is a pretty clear indication of a shady seller.  Comon newbies.  Read the feedback before bidding and be a little smarter.  There is a reason that feedback is there.  To protect you.  And so people such as myself and all the fine sellers here on the blogs can bring you great deals with honesty and integrity.  I have over 6100 transactions at 100% positive.  You are safe bidding with me!  Use your little newbie noggans.

I just commented on your post.  I thought it was funny and I agree!  She is a hotty and it sells more clothes!!!  She is actually a working model but unfortunately, only 5'4".  She prays for height every night before going to sleep.  So no offense was taken!  I just had to run to attend to something and didn't get to tell you that.  I told her what you said and she replied Oh Gross!!  But you know she smiled inside cause she knows it to be true.  So, thanks for the compliment.  I am sure the senior guys in her high school will be lining up to just talk to her in the fall.  I agree, she is a hotty.

If you paid by paypal, you can open a dispute for item not as described.  They will then force the seller to refund in full including shipping charges you paid to get the item.  You will have to pay for the return shipping but the seller will have to refund you.  Paypal will withdraw the funds from the seller.  if you want comments for your posts, go into your preferences and allow comments.  Good luck!

My fdbk score is 5190.  For the last couple of weeks, when I comment on someone elses post, it still says 5173 but now posting this, mine says 5190.  What is up with their software?  Screwy I tell ya.

Hi there!!  It has been about 2 weeks except for 1 or 2 drive-bys since I sat down to yap.  Hope all is well and there hasn't been too much drama without me.  Actually, I hope I missed the drama if there was some!!  I had a chock filled 2 weeks including my 50th bday.  That was this past Tuesday (the 22nd) and I did drive by to get a few warm wishes.  I don't have a lot going on this weekend.  I am almost done with some major listing that I did this past week.  I have a couple of things left to list which I will sometime today.  Then I am done for a bit.  I also still have my store listings to get to and change the shipping info.  I just need a day or two break though.  Anyway, hello to all.  Anyone doing anything special this weekend?

I would like wish a belated happy bday to the one and only Muledaddy.  I believe it was last week.  And also last week was our beloved Bayker's bday as well.  So happy bday fellow bloggers.  HOWEVER, Let's talk about ME!  Today is MY bday.  I am 50.  IMPOSSIBLE!!!!  I still sing in a rock band.  I clean up more than semi-cute and feel more like a peer to my friends in their 20's and 30's than (uh) middle age.  MIDDLE AGE?  What kind of thing is that to say anyway (not a question).  As far as I am concerned, 50 is the new 30.  Whoo hoo!!  My girls and I are getting pedicures and the works later.  I do know my bfriend is taking me out tonight.  Could there be a proposal in the works after 7 years?  Will have to wait and see.  Ohhhhhhhh, happy happy birthday to meeeeeee.

I got on paypal to ship some items about an hour ago.  OMG.  We have to measure anything that isn't going first class.  How the hell are we supposed to price our shipping items now?  And how the heck do I measure it.  I mean I have a standard priority envelope that weighs 1.5 pounds.  It is 10 inches x 15 inches by like no inches because it is practically flat.  How the heck do you put those measurements in.  And how are they charging us?  I am at a loss for the first time in years.

Had a great party last night.  Had the pleasure of Bayker coming to the desert to join the party too.  It was a blast.  We ate great food.  We drank great drinkable items.  You name it, we had it.  Had live music (ME) all night long.  Fun fun fun.  It is so weird when you meet an online pal in the flesh for the first time.  We both found it almost easier to talk while we weren't looking at each other.  We are so used to either talking on the 'puter or on the phone.  It iwas truly a bizarre feeling. But we got used to it quick enough and now she is safely back home already.  Sniff sniff.  Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know it was fun. 

I am so excited.  One of my original blogging friends who I met here last summer when the blogs first popped up is coming to see me tomorrow!  I am having a humongo party and there will be fun, frolic, debauchery, and more AND SHE IS COMING!  I am hoping that another local blogger will come too.  I sent her an invite.  Anyway, I will keep you all posted.  I have two computers here so maybe when she is here (although she will only be here for about 24 hours) we can both get online and yap with you guys.  Whoo hoo.  BTW, it is a bday party for my bfriend who just turned the big 5-0 and for me and my big 5-0 coming up on the 22nd.  YAY!

Since there is no other way to promote anymore, we will have to spam each other to death.  LOL! NOT.  For me anyway.

Didn't mean to scare ya but I wouldn't be surprised if that is next or something totally screwed up like that.  It is getting harder and harder to reach people as a seller and Ebay just keeps slanting more and more towards the buyer.  It makes me shutter what will come next to help "fix" things.  We are what makes ebay and we keep getting stepped on everytime they make a change.  What do you think?

You guys know how hard it is to have 100% positive feedback.  I have 100% positive in 6046 feedbacks.  I am damn proud and work my ass off in giving great customer service to keep it that way.  But now I have like 4.5 stars in the item described category and let me tell you.  Every single item is described down to a tee in every single one of my auction descriptions.  My shipping and handling charges have 4.5 stars too.  Guess people would prefer me lose money shipping than cover my costs including shipping materials and what have you.  I frikken HATE this new feedback system and the only thing it can do is hurt us sellers.  Damn.  That's all, damn. 

Right now it is 1.35 for up to 50.00.  2.35 from 50.01 to 99.99.  3.35 from 100.00 to 199.99 and so on.  So do you know what the 1.35 rate will be?

I just had a buyer ask me if I could send out a jacket to them tomorrow if they get a money order in the mail tomorrow.  They need the jacket by the 10th of May.  Can't pay by paypal cause her credit card is maxxed out.  She said, I PROMISE to put the money order in the mail if you would just ship it out tomorrow too.  Just check my feedback she said.  Ya know what?  I wouldn't ship you the jacket without payment if you were the Queen of England.  Some people.  It is bad enough to get ripped off by people who pay and then claim chagrebacks.  Sorry sweetie, no money, no jacket.  Ya think you could go into Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue stores and ask if you could take an item and you promise you will bring them the cash in 3 days.  NOT!

that international shipping was going to be totally restructured?  I asked my people in the post office yesterday how it was going to affect international rates and none of them know anything.  International rates are going to include size and weight instead of just weight.  Also, there are going to be less choices to ship.  It is going to be structured after U.S. shipping with first class, priority, and express.  I have no clue to change my fees.  I do a lot if international sales.  Any suggestions?
