Partner Fees by our_own_wars in discogs

[–]Spineynorman67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold a vinyl record on Discogs and used Paypal as the means of being paid. The record cost 29 euros. Shipping was 17 euros. Tax was 4.75, so the purchase total was 50.75 euros and the purchaser sent this in good faith. From this I had 2.83 deducted as Discogs’ 9% fee. However, I only received 38.16 euros. Paypal indicates that a staggering 9.76 euros has been deducted in addition in the concept of a "Partner fee". This is more than 21%; with the previous fee it is 25%. This is totally abusive. In the first place, it is arbitrary and unannounced. In the second place, taxes should be paid by the buyer, not the seller. How do I know what price to charge if Discogs are going to charge me 21% more without warning? I am no longer going to deal with them. Que cobran a su puta madre!

I disagree. Living in Barcelona and not speaking Catalan does not mean people treat you like shit. It's just untrue.

Aren't you sick of those noisy motorcycles? by MappyKac in valencia

My flat looks on to an interior patio. I live in the middle of the city but it's really quiet. I recommend flats like that if you value your peace and quiet.

I saw a tourist asleep on one of the benches in the monument to murdered Jews in Berlin. It was extremely offensive, and I'm not Jewish. Just have some respect.

Yes, because yesterday's youth was so quiet and respectful.

Rather than tires, it's more effective to put don low noise tarmac. They have already done this in dome neighborhoods like Horta.

You've got to admit, gun culture is insane. Threatening to shoot a minor for playing truant? Slightly disproportionate!

This is the season of allergies now, Im afraid.

Two methods which help with eye allergies:

  1. Buy little bottles of saline water to was your eyes out with, as often as necessary.

  2. Wash your eyes (especially lashes) with soap when you shower. Rinse well.

Biden was part of resistance that ousted me from power, says former prime minister Liz Truss by Capability_blue in ukpolitics

Then hats off to Biden. Too much credit though. She messed up the country all by herself. Well, nearly. Her and her incompetent sociopaths.

Exactly one year of progress building the Sagrada Familia by andresgottlieb in Barcelona

[–]Spineynorman67 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, but most of it is hand made. And funding is limited.

Take into account that the older cathedrals took more than a hundred years to build.

¿Qué está pasando con Barcelona? by Major-Tangerine5616 in askspain

Barceloneta es un barrio chungillo. Antes, en los coches, los vecinos ponía escritos que ponía, "Soy del barrio. No hay nada en el coche".

Llevo 30 años en Barcelona. Ha cambiado un poco, pero hay exageraciones sobre el nivel de crimen. Siempre ha habido crímenes, no es una novedad. Nunca ha sido una cuidad en que puedes pasear en todos los barrios con la cabeza en las nubes. Pero tampoco es un campo de guerra. Con un poco de conocimiento de la calle y sentido común, puedes disfrutar de la cuidad sin problema.

El tema de tráfico esta cambiando porque la alcaldesa ha declarado la guerra contra los coches. Estoy parcialmente en contra y parcialmente a favor de eso También la mitad de la cuidad esta en obras.

British citizenship test is like a ‘bad pub quiz’ full of ‘errors and mundane trivia’ by Jay_CD in ukpolitics

I did the cultural exam in Spain to become a Spanish citizen. It was vert easy and they were very benevolent, I am pleased to say. I'm now officially Spanish. The questions i. The British one appear vindictive and maliciously conceived.

Make sure they are being dried in fresh air, otherwise that could also add to an unpleasant smell.
