Has God told me?

Am I hearing right that people think I am condescending?

Well, I think that is amazing for the fact that I am being treated as though I am nothing.

Don't you think?

I just want to say

but do not worry your pretty little head off, that I might as well be dead with all the ignoring I am getting.

What is wrong with people?

I sell on eBay.  I think I go beyond what is required regarding showing my things and sending them.
I use magnified photography so every flaw is obvious.  I have see other sellers who keep their items in the dark so to speak they make more money but I would rather a buyer be pleased that the item is better in person than it was when they looked at it and bought it.  I ship same day or next day and this "lady" received her package just three days after the auction ended.

She got three antique buttons for $6.50 and shipping was $2.95.  I do not charge for the package or for all the other things it takes to wrap it.  A few people charge less for shipping, but they start their auctions higher.  EBay recommends starting at $0.99 "to attract more buyers", but more often than not the sale ends at .99.  So shipping should be a little more to cover the costs of listing.
Everyone likes to get a five rating.  I do at least as good as those with a five rating,  though I sell less items.  She scored me less than 5 for  a $10.45 sale.  I have seen buttons such as I sold her go for fifty dollars.

I am not going to hate people, but I might quit eBay.

I tried

I am trying to like people but it is not working.

I do not know if anyone ever tried to like me, but I know most people don't.

I was going to talk about Harvard but my score is zero so I am not going to.

The Big Bad Bully 2 Kings 2:23,24

It would need a miracle for two bears to maul and kill 42 boys.  Miracles are performed by God.   Jehovah's Witnesses and many others then teach that Jehovah caused 42 boys to suffer terribly and die one day.  And for what?  For teasing  Elisha.  Not only did God cause the boys to suffer but also the boys' families did God cause to suffer.  It is the truth according to the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses.  They are not able to see that the word which was written "tear" ever meant "break through".  As in the bears broke through a group of boys.  That has meaning.  That God killed boys of God's people (I am assuming they were - does it say they were not?) is ridiculous and if it really had any meaning at all it would be evil meaning.  The governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jehovah is one bad bully.  I don't believe it.  Do you?

23  He went up from there to Bethʹel. As he was going along the way, some young boys came out from the city and began to jeer at him,+ and they kept saying to him: “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24  Finally he turned around and looked at them and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears+ came out of the forest and tore 42 of the children to pieces.+ 25  He kept going from there to Mount Carʹmel,+ and from there he returned to Sa·marʹi·a.

I cheated so I know it is possible

I sell things on eBay.  I also look at what other people are selling.
I think with a little detective work I can discover who cheats.

Selling anything auction style for most people is a gamble.  So then people who sell on eBay gamble at one time or another.

Gambling on eBay isn't cheating.  It is exciting, but for some people (me) it is mostly nerve-racking.
It is a lot of work and I suspect I make about fifty cents an hour which includes my profit from things sold.

One time I put a wonderful thing in an auction.  I could see that it was probably going to go for very little.
I decided I would rather keep it instead of getting a little for it so I asked someone to bid on it.  At first, I thought twenty dollars but then I decided on seventeen dollars.  

I was lucky but not too lucky (as I think the thing was worth forty dollars or more).  Someone else bid fifty cents over my friend's bid.

Oh!  And someone on eBay even asked me if we should do it for each other.

Doing it does not make much sense because if there are no higher bids than the cheating bid the seller must pay eBay for the sale.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have seen that some people on eBay do not know math much.

Some people do not include eBay's cut and packaging when they charge shipping.
I have seen people sell something and pay a little to sell it because I can do the math.

I usually make sure I make at least fifty cents a sale because I am selling to make money.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another thing I have noticed about eBay sales is that people are greedy.  They see a lot of stuff and they pay a lot of money for it even though it is mostly junk.  I sometimes sell things one at a time (because I don't cheat most of the time) and then if they want anything else they can have it shipped for free.  Then they know what they are getting because I take good pictures.  Good for them, not for me.  Little things show up every imperfection and look worse on the screen that they do in hand.

Another thing people do is they make little things look big.  I don't do that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another thing that I think people do it they have someone bid their item to get it started,
because the truth is something that someone else wants is more desirable.

I don't do that.  So I have to wait all week to see if my trouble was worth anything.  Lately, it has not been worth it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another bad thing about eBay is that it fosters jealousy in me.  Just like the forums do.
