I am Pissed Off

by SloshedAndVexed @ 2008-04-11 - 22:27:05

Another F-ing ebay frustration : I've got a new digital camera because I'm not bright enough to be able to sucessfully optomise the settings on my ricoh caplio R6 : So I tried to put that  on ebay , it  took some time but  was all going quite smoothly , until :
'Due to your limited transactions you have to accept payments via paypal'
What ? I have 100% positive feedback , about 40  posotive  comments : I had , maybe still have a paypal account , but am not bright enough to figure out how to use it , so , 'no peace for the stupid' , and I'll not try to sell anything on ebay again , and will probably give the digicam to the lady who I've given loads of things to who has never been and probably never will be a  friend of me .
******************
Because I bought a ticket for Faithless , etc at Hyde Park last Summer , which I did'nt go to I was sent an invitation to buy a ticket to see Jay Z  there , this Summer .
I read today that Glastonbury tickets , which usually sell out within a day or two are still available a week later , maybe because the U.S 'rap crap' merchant  Jay Z is the headline act , whose 'artistically talented ' 'musical' utterances do'nt exactly chime in tune with Glastonbury's traditional 'peace and love' ethos .
He refers to women as 'bitches' , and 'hoes' , and spouts such as 'f--- em . leave 'em , cause I do'nt f---ing need 'em' .
And that's just a 'PG' certificate sample of his genius !
But he's black so the whole psuedo-intellectual-liberal lot have to congratulate him on his every  word .
As I've already  humbly admitted , I'm not very intelligent , but would I pay money to listen to someone crudely shouting and swearing ? - I think not .
I'm okay with words , I've got a rhyming dictionary and am old enough to be familiar with all the swear words , so who would like to generously pay me to stand on a stage and rhymingly prattle on about bitches , guns , knives , motherf---ers , etc ?

Oh, sorry you're having a hard time on ebay...I prefer to pay by Paypal on it as it's so easy and quick...I'd check it out again, Martin, it does make life a lot easier...and sorry about your camera....actually I find it infuriating when I've just spent ages doing something on a site then discover there's an unforeseen hitch that throws all that I done out and a waste of my time...maddening...BTW...have you still got your list of DVD's you want to sell...I'd be interested in checking them out...with so little on TV lately, I've been buying DVD's more often...should join a film club but not sure I want to pay every month for them...and Glastonbury's lost it a long time ago in my books...just for bread heads now...have a restful night, sweet dreams and big hugs...

You should download TurboLister from eBay, it makes things easy, and you don't lose your listings due to some wierd glitch or other...

Virgin Radio keep talking about Glastonbury...I can't stand rap music to start with - but if that guy talks about people like that..rap sucks even more. :)

Hello , I agree , and I'm sure there'll be some great music at glastonbury but over the years it's become more and more commercialised and corporate , so I hear , thanks for your first ever comment on my 'blog !

i noticed that the last time i sold something on ebay, i thought they were doing it for everyone now.... argh!
