Thanks for the bump!

Thanks for the bump!

It is a pain. But we just really need some cash for the bills.

well the other buyer has cancelled too. Cancelled because postage can’t be combined. Spent 5 days bidding, won and then cancelled to save about £2. Now we’re out three sales and can’t pay bills. I guess I’ll have to try gumtree but who knows how long that will take. Never using ebay again. And you’re right I am worried about the buyer scamming me on the one that actually sold. Face to face only in cash from now on.

That’s crazy. Ebay were whingeing that they’re losing custom to vinted, then they go and do all this nonsense to make buying and selling less attractive on ebay.

A month?? It said two days after delivery on the website. This sucks. We thought she’d get some quick money to put towards debt/bills but now we’ve had one cancellation, another buyer complaining about the clearly stated postage on two other items and maybe wanting to cancel, and have to wait another month for the final pittance? And I wouldn’t be surprised now if the buyer claims there’s something wrong with it and wants a refund. Why did I even bother, I should have known nothing can ever be easy.

Yeah when my mobility issues flare up badly or my landlady can’t drive me I have to order for supermarket delivery direct from sainsburys and that adds another expense too.

Glad you got some help! Food is honestly beyond unaffordable for a lot of people now, and even for people with means it’s become an utterly ridiculous expense. When someone is kind enough to give me a supermarket gift card I try to stretch it out as long as possible because someone parted with their money to help me, and I had hoped to just make a mutual aid post at the end of each month but it has got to the stage that sometimes I have to post sooner because prices have just gone up like crazy. The current situation just doesn’t seem sustainable for anyone.

But if you consider that’s per person, so a family of four would be spending well over $1000 a month on food under this plan, it’s unachievable for most I would say.

OK, I’ll try and remember for the future. I’m not that good with technology so didn’t know about any of this.

I’ve changed it to a different site.

what does that mean?

That’s the thing, it’s he who does not work, not he who cannot work. But people just refuse to believe that disabilities are real.

So in other words, people who on’t have to worry about the consequences of this. makes sense!

Surprised that so many are concentrated in the Westcountry.

As if our lives aren’t shitty enough already, society tries everything to make them worse. Why don’t they just herd us into gas chambers and be done with it?

Don’t you need to rest it?

Glad to hear it. I find it so weird the way people on reddit kiss therapists’ arses and think therapy just magically fixes everything. Hexbear is the only place where people are realistic and accept that many therapists are worse than useless and that therapy isn’t a magic bullet for everything.

hope it heals soon.

They’ve had various programmes demonising benefit claimants, of course only ever showing the very worst ones.
