i've just finished reading an article on yahoo about someone shopping at a thrift store, checking the items out on ebay over his smart phone, then buying something on which he can make a profit. disclaimer: i am not advocating this as i have never tried it. the reason i'm writing about this is that comments at the bottom of the page were saturated with failed and disgruntled ebay power sellers complaining about such things as "this article is a scam", "ebay and yahoo are in bed together", "ebay is a crock", and "you can't make a profit on ebay."
these people are obviously out of touch with reality. in fact, i want to know what drugs they are taking and where i can get some in order to feel this sense of self-righteousness. (now, some of you might be thinking, "why isn't this asshole posting his complaints on the article?" the answer is that my comment would get drowned out and never read. here, it'll stay forever.) these ebay sellers clearly don't know who shops on ebay. we, as ebay buyers, want to buy shit at the lowest price possible. we don't want you to make a profit. myself, as an occasional ebay seller, sell shit i don't want anymore, such as old computer parts. i don't sell to make a profit. as long as i get rid of something and make a buck on it, i don't give a shit. do you want to know why? having a real full-time job helps a lot. even more so, i'm currently unemployed, but i'm not stupid enough to think i can support a family by selling on ebay. how fucking delirious do you have to be to try to make a full time living by selling shit by yourself on the internet, knowing you have to ship the shit and pay selling fees, and then have the nerve to blame ebay for your shortsightedness?
