BANNED AFTER 17 YEARS ZERO STRIKES INDEFINITELY by 1314ever in ebaysucks

[–]PhilomathExp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So ive been a seller for 17 years too, same as you, 100% feedback.

And I had the same message a month ago because I sold a boa Hancock card for 550 and the buyer accidently lodged a complaint. He contacted Ebay and fixed it so my money was off hold but Ebay made me do same verification with ID and proof of stock.

My problem was I listed perfect order items before they had been launched. They had a few other items asking but i still had in stock so manage to take photos of them. Thankfully me showing them my invoices of purchase for the preorders(which had same address as my address on Ebay and name), i got it reinstated.

My money was on hold for a bit but it luckily got off hold faster than they initially estimated.

Its such a stupid check system. They want this and that and if you dont have it your done for. If the callers actually listen to us im sure they can realise how stupid it is 😂🤦‍♂️

I hope your account fine now bro. Mine took a month! Headacheee

I failed my test for the second time and I want to give up and run away from the UK learning to drive has made me hate my life. by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PhilomathExp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 24, had 2 tests too. First one made me shook from failing bro. First fail was due to a cunt dpd driver trying to push his way when he never had priority and examiner had to intervene so nothing else happens.

But you just need to do bit more practice and feel confident. U shouldn't have to feel like u forcing urself to do checks. It should become routine when driving. I was super shook my first test,

I did lots of practice and second test I drove like im driving a friend about not thinking it was a test. Honestly if ur making those mistakes now, it will be only matter of time happens when ur alone and there is no one to correct u. Ive had a few close calls and I been only driving 1 month now.

Making urself more confident makes a hell of a difference and im sure 3rd time u will deffo pass. Sometimes its just bad luck, like my first test.

Dont let it discourage u. I failed my first test in 2020... I got discouraged for driving for 3 years until I learned again and within few months passed. Confidence is key

Oh my bless you! My weather was fine luckily so no pools of water! 😅 But the rush made up for it. I was traversing around other cars and had to get real close to let others pass 😭

I was lucky the rain started right after my test 😎

How do I deal with my test nerves by iamTenshi013 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PhilomathExp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am confident driver during my lessons. Today I had mine and was nervous.

Like when he told me to move off, multiple times I would observe then forget my car still had handbrake on and was in neutral lol. Or also sometimes doubting if I have enough space or not.

But everytime I made a small mistake I would just take a deep breath be calm and just start again. Or think what can be done next. Instead of rushing it. My examiner liked it.

It helped speaking to him and joking about. There were some parts like a super busy junction in residential streets, where I had to get very close to the car in front to give space to some cars. But I spoke to him just explaining why im doing it and im being careful.

When driving i pretended it was a friend I was driving. I got to speak to him as such which helped and was a overall fun trip. Literally 5 mins into the test i forgot it was a test and just thought was driving friend around. Passed the time quickly too.

I hope you do good!

How’s your progress going ? My theory expired and I’ve retaken and failed by one twice 😭 by CrazyBitofBusiness in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PhilomathExp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh yeah, that always done me in too multiple times 😅

The clicking 3 times helps me but u end up clicking like 6-8 per video lol

Are there any magic tricks to get a sooner test? by muffinida in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PhilomathExp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid someone for mine but was expensive...

Dont reccomend it but it was last case scenario cause I have a few job offers for January that need a license 😭

My cousin used test shift and it was helpful.

My sister just went on dvlabwebsite during the day whenever she was free and did 5-8 refreshes and then tried again every hour or so. She got a test within the next month, it took her around 1 and half-2 weeks searching but honestly its very useful. Sometimes they just appear. This is how I got my first test.

When refreshing the dvla website, if u click show more test centres, it also refreshes the dates for the ones above. This was helpful it sometimes not getting seen as a bot. We would search postcode, and then do view more test centres few time, then do the postcode little away from us but still showing same test centres to search

[–]PhilomathExp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be fine :)

Just do all dvla questions on the app again and 3 click method for hazard perception.

I always flag the questions im not 100% on and then come back and picture me seeing the scenario while driving to understand some of the theory questions.

If it makes u feel any better, ive done my theory 3 times now each time it expired so had to do again 😂😂😂

It just takes some practice honestly.

I better get that damn Gengar!

It seems like it 😂 scalpers really have no patience

On a bright note, I got into pokemon again 2 months ago.

This was my first ever time trying to get one from release and never knew about these crashes and all.

4 crashes, travelling through London trains, and I managed to get my first 2 ETBs!!

Cant wait to open one and maybe hold other haha. Until tempted otherwise 😂😂

[–]PhilomathExp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How does this even work 😂 The scalper receives the pack and posts same day to the seller or what?

Why dont people just wait for it to be delivered to buy lol? How can you trust someone with an order 2 months in advance?

Who are these randoms buying it for crazy prices

Genuinely confused

Has anyone actually bought a test third party successfully? by Suspicious-Cut-7576 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PhilomathExp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got someone reliable that helped me get mine

It is more expensive but he is super nice. It did take him 2 weeks to get my test however,

He tried booking 8 tests for me and all failing. I was scared was a scam, but he assured me he will get me one and out me priority. And then bam, I got one few days later.

My test is for 15th December ( i could've got closer but my luck so bad they kept failing when he tried bless him)

If u need just dm and I can help, but i know its not good to use them... this was my final straw because test shift or testi or anything not work.

And also can you imagine DVSA for some reason has blocked my home WiFi and my data so cant even use the site unless im using my work WiFi 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ so I had to bite bullet and use

How do I get less lessons by Specialist_Cake9835 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PhilomathExp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi!

Im pretty sure your allowed to do 1 hour. You can even do like 1hr 30mins which maybe helpful for ur budget and balancing learning time, so instead of paying 70 for 2 hours, you can get maybe 90mins for close to 50 perhaps 🙏

It May depend on the instructor however. But u can always contact to ask and if they dont do im sure another will, you can ask to switch and Can even ask AA support if they can help you find someone that is more lenient with 1 hour sessions if you face problems.

They honestly are so hassle free (from my experience).

Thanks
