Things that annoy me (3 Viewers)

People still complaining about getting the "real ID." The law was signed in 2005. You don't even really need to get it unless you fly and don't have a passport.
 
I tried to get mine last year; registry rejected my SS card as it was laminated; the thing was beat to ****, had it since I was 16, had to get it laminated, they told me to jog down to the SS office and get a new one..........nope, they were unable to do it, had to do it on line and after getting one of those ice cream headaches trying to navigate their Civil War era website, I gave up.

I can't remember what other forms of ID they took that I did not have, so I renewed my license and just got a passport instead.

I haven't been on a plane since 1993 and don't plan on doing so anytime soon, but you can't get into a government building without the real ID or a passport.

Meanwhile, we had a wide open border for 4 years.................what an backward country this is sometimes.

If it's any consolation, it can be like that here.

Now in UK and sell on ebay, even if you are a private seller like myself, but because I have gone over a certain threshold in selling this year I was required to inform them of my National Insurance Number so that HM customs and Revenue can decide if I need to pay tax, obviously everyone's circumstances will be different, but just another way things are changing.

Another thing about ebay, that has changed recently is that instead of the seller having to pay listing fees etc, the customer now has to pay what ebay term as buyer protection and I think this is putting people off along with buying, as everyone wants a straight forward transaction and not if they haven't been paying attention to these changes extra fees to pay.

Ebay have also made it more awkward for sellers when it comes to shipping.

I've heard about those changes Ebay has made, no idea what they are thinking, putting buyers off is not a good strategy for long term success.

Ebay for about the past six months has been pretty mediocre for me, not to mention the last few collections I tried to buy went sideways for various reasons, everything from the seller taking my money and jerking me around for a month (shame of me for paying up front, I NEVER do that, never again) to the point where I opened a dispute with paypal to another seller taking the best items out and selling them to someone else, then coming back to me offering me the rest (Yeah; no) to another seller playing me against another dealer, so i walked.

If Ebay keeps nosediving, buying collections may be in my rear view mirror; between this situation and the tariffs, things are not looking too great.
 
Now 0-6; I'm done with basketball this year, adios.

Not one but back to back blown 20 point leads, two horrendous fourth quarters, the Knicks win both games in Boston having had the lead for 12 seconds combined in both games.

KP has Ebola or some mystery illness, Brown is 75% with a knee issue, winning back to back championships is really, really hard.

Not their year.

I'm out.

I wanted to buy some 3d printed vehicles from a vender on ebay in the UK and the shipping etc was almost as much as the item I wanted so I did not get it. It's a shame because he had quite a few items that I would have bought
