Are you KIDDING me?

So a few weeks back I was selling some stuff on ebay. After auction end, I get a message from a buyer, TELLING me she will pay me that next Friday, which was 8 days later. I generally require payment w/in 7 days... but figured, fine w/e. I wasn't too fond of her attitude, but just let it slide.

That Friday came and s he paid and I shipped and she left me feedback and I got busy... which was a good thing, because a week later I had a hold on my PP account. I generally drain my $ out of my account after I get paid, it's just a good idea when you are dealing with PP, IMO.

So since I had like .19 cents in there I was in the negative. For some reason either she or the bank reversed the charges and PP was investigating. It wrapped up sooner than I thought, and in my favor, thanks to all the emails i had from her, and the + feedback she left, etc.

Since then she's been sending me email through ebay about my leaving her feedback. This last one was threatening.

The funny part tho, is she is threatening to never buy from me again.

Uhhhhh

yeah, I kind of would PREFER that, thanks! :-P

So yeah, she's blocked now! 0:-)

Ebates

Do you all know about Ebates? A friend of mine was talking them up a while back and they offer your $5 just to sign up, so I signed up and then promptly forgot about it. LOL

Dunno if you guys know about ebates.com or not. I signed up a while ago and then forgot about it. LOL

This w/e I was wanting to make a purchase from a certain UK catalog company... I'm not easily influenced by their catalog mailing and offering of free shipping and a certain % off AT ALL. :ahem:

I remembered someone saying that you should remember to shop through ebates w/them because you'd get an addition % off. I think it was only 5%, but hey. 5% is 5%!

I really need to use ebates more often. Goodness knows I do enough online shopping. It really wouldn't take that much more of my time to check and see if the place I want to purchase from is an ebates member and I can save a little extra.

You can click here to sign up: http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?id=32655517 if you are interested. Plus I get a little kickback if you do end up making a purchase if you use my link. ;)

I should be feeding the girl...

instead of sitting here typing. :) She woke up and came down here about 15 minutes ago. I told her to give me a couple minutes and I'd help her with breakfast.

Whoops. LOL She's happily watching Curious George anyway.

Busy day all around here. I need to go pay the taxes/register the van now that they FINALLY sent our title. :-P

J has a school field trip (I think). It's on the calendar for today. Her Teacher didn't send a reminder tho, and J thinks it's next week. So, either I missed something or J's just mixed up. Either way, I'm sending her in her school shirt. LOL

Tonite is Kindergarten registration! Ack! I cna't believe I'm signing her up for REAL school already! Where did the time go??

Best news! NO MORE SNOW! YAY!

Have a great day, everyone!

New Ride!

There I go being MIA again!

Vans, Vans and more Vans! I was Vanned out!! We spent the weekend looking at Vans, We spent Monday looking at Vans. We went to dealerships to look at Vans. We went to small, used car lots to look at Vans. We got online and looked at Vans. I DREAMT about looking at Vans.

Tuesday, we drove an about an hour away to Madison, SD. We got an email from a guy at Cars For Les up in Madison about a 2005 Town & Country they had. I emailed him telling him how much we had to spend and if he thought that was doable before we hauled both kids an hour away or not. He replied and said "it was close" we took that as salesman talk for "yes". LOL

So after an hour or so of the usual cat and mouse games, we left my grand-am with them, and brought home a van!

YAY! I'm SO glad to be done car shopping, at least for maybe another 10 years or so. LOL

So, I now have a Mom-mobile! Isn't it purty? Go Me!!

Big Money, No Whammy's!

Ever since PayPerPost rolled out thier new segmentation system, I've been seeing a lot of big money opportunities popping up on the main page.

I've seen $35 ones, $50 ones, $125 one and even $1,000 ones!! That's some big cash for those of you out there with high PR Blogs! Especially just for putting one sponsored post on your blog!

With PayPerPost you can make money blogging about things you know about or even enjoy talking about. I find that my best paid posts are ones where I am familiar with the subject.

Even if you are sitting at a lowly little PR2 like I currently am, there are still some great paying opportunites at PayPerPost. Just yesterday I was able to grab three, for a total of $24!

Sure, there are lots of other pay-to-blog sites out there. I don't think any of them have the reputation that PayPerPost has tho, and with the new segmentation system, they certainly are attracting a lot of big money advertisers! All this means that they offer more and better paying opportunites for bloggers.

Don't forget either, that PayPerPost requires disclosure from all of their bloggers. No matter whether you are a PR0 or a PR8! Everyone must have this on their blog. You can put your disclosure at the bottom of each paid post, stick it on your sidebar, or use that cute button down at the bottom of this post!

So go on, head over to PayPerPost and see what everyone is talking about! Sign up, make a few bucks, or make a ton of bucks! It's all up to you!
