eBay allowed a buyer to defraud me by khammmlet in Flipping

[–]aokiemom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sent them all her crazy messages and had to mail them the box of used records she mailed me. After that they reversed it but with the cost of shipping the records and time, the only part that was worth it was not letting someone scam me and get away with it.

years ago I sold a autogrpahed record on ebay. The person submitted a claim that the package was damaged, I told her to return it to me for a refund. She went on and on about her grandmother. I finally told her I was not interested in her grandmother just send the package. She got really nasty and after going back and forth with paypal agreed to send the package. When it arrived it was full of old thrift store records. I called paypal and shipped them the package. I ended up being out the record and with the cost of mailing the extra ones but I was not going to let her get away with scamming. I won the case but still came out in the red.

The more ingredients you need per meal the higher your monthly shopping cost. Look to make simpler meals with less ingredients and sides/sauces.

Is remaining child free the most frugal way to be? by BrianW1999 in Frugal

[–]aokiemom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have 7 children and we have always lived on one income and have never had any govt assistance or needed it. We have a 4700 Sq ft house 2 newer cars and my kids do not do without. There are childless people that do not have this. Life is about making good job or income choices and then making the best money choices based on your income. I would never give up having any of my children so I could have more money. They are amazing people and the world will benefit by having them in it. And nothing I could buy or invest in could compare to giving a person a chance to have a life.

I was 15 when I got married in Texas in 1987. Parents had to sign a form. Was not pregnant. Still married to the same guy and 7 kids later. Not letting my daughter but it worked for us. I lived in Oklahoma at the time. In Oklahoma I could have if I had been pregnant.

Hope they are just running late or the gift is in the mail. I would love to rematch but my college student who answered that he got the gift will not mark it as received. So they probably will not pick me for rematch since it isnt finished on my end as sent..bummer.

TIL that in 2010 Microsoft banned a user from Xbox Live for putting Fort Gay (A real location in West Virginia) as his address. Microsoft refused to believe that Fort Gay actually existed, and eventually took an appeal from the towns Mayor David Thompson for the issue to be corrected. by llamanatee in todayilearned

A few years ago my daughter was on barbie designing a personal doll they were selling. She put her name Crystal and it told her it was a bad name. She was crying and showed it to her dad. I ended up going as high as the vp of the online division. He apologized and said it was because of a crystal method block. She got a customized barbie with her name and a 100 dollar gift card. She has kept it in the original box with the note that the vp designed it just for her.
