Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2005Hi all, we need your help
Have 3 cats - 2 which probably need to go to the vet. (One needs to be fixed). Now, this wasn't a problem a year ago - where a $100+ vet visit could fit in the budget. But I am on Disability. And the government has seen fit to lower the ole income. Now - I am not out begging - I am trying to supplement my income. The Doctor's say I can't work - but: I am trying to auction off all things of value (going for the Japanese sort of apartment look :}~) Ergo, at least I'm not begging. And proceeds will go towards various non-profit groups that look for a cure of my main condition. Anyways - here's how it works: My current auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5591689535 And if you want to help support without a contribution, please click this link: http://cgi1.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MakeTrack&item=5591689535 The more people that click the above link, the more publicity the auction gets on EBay. My last auction worked, but didn't get much money - oh well - it's a learning experience. Bidding is also welcome. And - if you are from Washington state (within the Seattle area) we can save on shipping with local pickup (just email me from the auction page about this newsgroup - etc.) Feedback would be great also - you can email from the auction page. If you could contact anyone else that might be interested, it would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time, I learn a lot from the posts in this group. Let's see, your cats need to see a vet, you're pleading poverty, trying to supplement income and yet you say the proceeds will go to various non-specified charities rather than the care of your cats??????????????????????????? I'm not buying it. And I sure as hell would never click on a link to Ebay from a post in a news group.  SignatureStone > Have 3 cats - 2 which probably need to go to the vet.

I'm not pleading poverty - if you read the auction - you will see what it's about. And 15% goes towards National Spasmodic Torticollis Association (which is what I have, and is very underfunded). I have 3 cats - my income was lowered just this month. I am doing the best I can - and there is nothing wrong with trying to respectfully earn money. Sorry you feel that way, hope others don't necessarily. I also completed another auction - where 20% went to Parkinson's. I will keep doing it as the needs seem to grow - it is how I can earn money - while Doc says can't work.

Please place a picture of the receipt from the unnamed Parkinson's charity that 20% of your last sale went to - also include paperwork for the sale so we can verify that it was in fact 20%. Why would you need multiple identities on ebay unless you were scamming people? Also, please provide a list and pictures of everything you are putting in the bag - if it's worth the asking price, you shouldn't have any trouble doing this. You don't even say how big the thing is. >Thanks for your time. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >would >> never click on a link to Ebay from a post in a news group. >Let's see, your cats need to see a vet, you're pleading poverty, trying to >supplement income and yet you say the proceeds will go to various >non-specified charities rather than the care of your >cats???????????????????????????

You're spot on in your assessment - the charity he has in mind is his bank account. If she's not caring for her cats, I say we report her the proper authorities. >>Let's see, your cats need to see a vet, you're pleading poverty, trying to >>supplement income and yet you say the proceeds will go to various [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > If she's not caring for her cats, I say we report her the proper > authorities. Yeah, IMO it's so obviously a scam with a badly thought out sob story. Stone >My current auction: >http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5591689535 Translation: you pay more than $200 and maybe get a box that is worth of ten centes if you're lucky. No thanks, i've been ripped offf before on Ebay. I had someone take delivery on soemthing worth thosuands of dollars only to gett $0.00 in the payment department. BTW, $41.30 for shipping for what could turn out to be an empty box or a box filled with bricks. I may have been born at night, I wasn't born last night. ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com It is a "lot" with over 50 items in it, some for the household. If anyone is familiar with flylady.net - decluttering means passing on the goodies (plus I have a lot of EBay Inventory) - etc. Besides - I did one previously - and all was sent out and went well. Sorry you were scammed - I am not - I've sold $200 items on EBay with glowing feedback (this is also not my only ID - but you can check my feedback). Not scam, just fun. > >My current auction: > >http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5591689535 [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups > ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- >It is a "lot" with over 50 items in it, some for the household.

Your adverstising sounds very deceptive. Either you spend $200+ get something that may be worth more than that or you spend $200 and essentially end up with box you spent $40.00+ for shippign that is completely worthless. Around here that would be highlly illegal and i'm suprised ebay hasn't shut it down. This is in the US. My undertanding is this violates the terms of service for Ebay. ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com "Seller makes no guarantee that any free contents inside the PURPLE LUNCHBOX/SHIPPING BOXES will be equal to the final value of the auction. " Translation: you may well spend $200+ for this auction and get a lunch box that has absolutely nothing of value in it or a value of about 1 cent. Around here that is illegal. ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com On Sat, 25 Jun 2005 17:08:28 -0700, "Karen V" <secret_lurker@nospam.yahoo.com> wrote: >Thanks for being kind - some others have accused me - I've sold $200 items >with glowing feedback (and they paid by Paypal). I have 2 id's, just started >this one for selling. I have a lot going on right now - if you read the >auction - trying to juggle the best I can. What kind of fraud is someone up to if they are using two diffrrent ids? If you're looking for positive fieedback you stick with one ID that people can look at the ratings for. This should be good when you try to explain why you need to have two IDS for ebay. I notice this ID you're using has 100% positive feecback. I suppose the second ID has all the negative feedback. ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com Boy, you sure have something itching - since I already sent out the one lot with Jewelry - I hardly think. And if you read the auction - the clues for the items are right there. 2 IDs - If you read the boards on EBay (and I post regularly on the other ID) a) you need to IDs - (cause of folks like you :}~ just kidding) b) if you buy to resell - you don't want your buyers seeing that ID -get it? Minimum of Three Boxes is not nothing - but you go on with your bad self - OK?

Ah yes....you need two IDS. One to artificially inflate the price so the other ID can make a killing at the bank. Bidding up the price on your own auction. That is a really ethical thing to do. Did you work for Enron in past years? >Minimum of Three Boxes is not nothing - but you go on with your bad self - >OK? $210 (including $41 shipping) is a pretty neat trick. I already have been screwed on ebay and have enormous distrust for the ebay system. Your ad makes me even more distrustful. I'd love to see someone shut ebay/Paypal down. Too many frauds have destroyed what should be a good idea. Il live thousands of miles away from you and even from here this auction stinks. It's got fraud written all over it. ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com
