I am furious!

In May my sales were $246.13. My eBay fees for that period were $80.38, and my concordant PayPal fees were $11.12, for a fee total of 91.50!!!

That means I paid eBay about 33% of my revenue!!! That's more than 1/3 of what I sold!!! How can we sellers make any money with outrageous fees such as these???

eBay (and PayPal) must lower their fees! :(

I have up for auction some hip hop ab dvd's for sale, two of the four dvd's have never been opened and the one that has been is in excellent condition. 4 DVD's in all

My husband and I have 11 cats, and they are everything to us, because we don't have children. We took 5 of our cats on March 4th to get fixed, 2 girls and 3 boys. One vet could only take 4(Lil Man,Callie,Pumpkin,& Squeek), so we had to take one(Josie) to another vet down the street. When I got home from dropping all of them off, I had a message waiting for me on the answering machine. It was the vet with the one cat (Josie). I called him back and he then informed me that Josie received the standard medicines used prior to surgery to sedate her and to reduce pain associated with surgery. When the sedative had taken effect, the anesthetic was administered. Approximately 15 minutes after the anesthetic injection, Josie stopped breathing. He administered oxygen and CPR, but he was unable to revive her.

Our hearts are so broken, Josie was so awesome!!!! She from the time she could walk, played with balled up foil. She played fetch just like a dog. There is such a empty feeling in our house, even though we still have 10 other cats. We will never heal from this loss!!! My husband misses that kitty so much, he carries her picture everywhere with him. Everywhere we look in our house we see Josie. I'm finding foil balls everywhere in my house. And everytime I find another, I just burst into tears. I hope that God in taking very good care of her, like we did. I would never wish this pain on anyone.

To everyone who's reading this: Cherish your pets, You never know what tomorrow will bring. Hug them, Kiss them, tell them how much you love them everyday!!!!

Josie is the one in the small photo next to my screen name, Shes the one with the half and half face.

Have you ever seen conflicting instructions on how to brew loose leaf teas? Well lately I've bumped into a few different ways to make variuos herbal infusions, teas, decoctions & then washes & other tea like products to drink, to use on wounds and/or to use as a poultice when you're done drinking the liquid that comes out of the mixture. I have the instructions on how to brew most of the herbal teas on my site, & when there is a difference; I'm careful to make sure that the right instructions are matched with the right teas & herbs. Do other ebay merchant sellers take the time to do this?

My dog of 12 years had to be put to sleep today. He has lymphatic cancer. My children and our other dog are all distraught. I have been keeping strong for the kids, but I just cant stop crying now. I miss him terribly. My friends and family members tell me I am being stupid for carrying on over a dog, but we loved him! He was more like a people than a pet! I am so sad. Thanks for listening

We lost our beloved 10 yr. old Golden Retriever, Samantha, two years ago. She never let on that she was ill. She had slowed down some in recent months, but we thought that it was due to her age. Anyway, she became obviously ill on a Friday, and we went to the vet. They did blood work and said that they would have results on Saturday. No results came back. She became worse on Sunday and we took her to an emergency clinic. They ran tests and said that she had lymphoma. She died two days later. We hadn't had time to absorb the fact that she was so seriously ill, before we lost her. We have two other wonderful and very much adored Goldens, yet, it is still difficult to think about or talk about Samantha, without being reduced to tears, even two years after her passing. Just writing this has me reaching for the tissue box. Is there anyone out there who is going through similar heartache...
