All that has gone awry.....

[heiner2929]

It's a bit annoying..........actually pathethic....I used to be a 'seller', having a fantastic time, engaging my dying sister in an 'outside interest' to distract her from the chemo........selling assorted and sometimes magnificent stuff ( with excellent feedback ). Then came the 'extra fees'......unrealistic postage times ( even though the seller had posted same day).....and finally ...AN EXTRA CHARGE ON YOUR POSTAGE....???? HELLO......if they could track personal email contact, surely they could root out the sellers who were avoiding basic fees???????? There were ALWAYS the usual eBay 'stooges' that were like frontmen/women that denigrated anyone with an alternate view ( one in particular that I recall - living half her/his time in the UK and the other half in Aus). Many sellers announced the fact that they were exiting the arena...and were bagged..relentlessly. I chose to just slip away......happy to buy ( so far)...but also much happier to sell anything out of the spare room/shed...in our local area, on another platform. They, eBay, keep sending me emails.........."We miss you" ..."Your buyers miss you"......well, sorry.....as soon as you started descriminating against the 'backyard/ amateur/down-to-earth/ therapeutic sellers' to bulk up your cheap MULTI PROFIT players from China down ( where your stringent feedback rules don't even register on their feedback account). eBay SUCKS

If it is weeds you want eaten then get a goat....sheep will only eat the good stuff but goats will eat anything.

And you can still eat the goat after it has cleaned up the paddock for you.

No, goats only eat the best stuff. I'm sure one of my goats used to have a map of the garden in her head because if she ever got out of her paddock she went straight for the rose bushes (because she knew she had limited time).

I had two sheep here that ate everything in sight. They even stood on their hind legs to eat the leaves on the scrubby little native trees (melaleucas?).

Ah well, back to the drawing board - spitty paccies it is then.............................as it always was.

Only rainbow roses are weeds.

Apparently there is no FVF on postage for rainbow paint.

Let's all buy paint!
