I am starting my own VTA since these other orgs seem to restrict everyone’s content like crazy and condone their Talent’s awful habits.

@beardalaxy many years ago, eBay didn't require your social security number and I was selling here and there. Now pretty much all internet marketplaces require your SS so they can report the $3.50 you earned to the IRS. :sadgery: The exception is probably something like Craigslist but I never tried it for collectibles. In the collectors circles I was in many years ago, I never heard of anyone buying stuff off Craigslist or looking there for rare stuff.

I am now dealing with Mercari and it gets a lot of interest for the type of junk I'm selling. 10 minutes into listing something, someone tried to buy it (compared to less than 8 views on eBay for an entire week!) and then they apologized because they "didn't have enough funds".
Yes you do, in fact, NEED MONEY TO BUY THINGS. Hello?! Jesus Christ, man. Do not overdraft your bank for a piece of plastic.

I've been dealing with people like this for many years and I look forward to the day I get rid of all this junk and regret buying it in the first place! Also totally looking forward to paying taxes on all this horseshit because even though it's not worth a lot, it does add up due to all the bulk I have. We can't have poorfags making an extra couple hundred a year, right? :FeelsWeirdMan:

I can't sell my stuff locally because I'm mostly selling collectibles from Japan and I'm sure people will only pay $1 and maybe a cum sock for anything I offer because they're just looking for cheap shit locally. It has to be sold to collectors online.

Also, someone had a total meltdown on me this weekend because they got sniped in an auction and wanted me to cancel the other person's sniper bid after they lost. Called it "cheating". lol
I had to block the retard and ban them from my store because they wouldn't stop crying to me. Not sure if it was an adult or not at that point. They lost out of their own incompetence by not placing their highest bid down. And tbh, the person had asked if the starting bid was something they could buy immediately so I don't think they even have money to bid whatever they want. Sadly, a lot of "collectors" will get in debt over this shit.

Did eBay die off or something?

I'm getting shit views on everything I list lol
I paid to boost a listing I can't seem to sell at all for months and it's still at 0 views since Saturday. What a great waste of $2! I even set the listing to 99 cents too.

I got scammed on eBay back in 2019 with a pre-order because the guy never sent the order. He must have also been a repeated offender but due to the time limitation of feedback, people can't leave negative feedback from undelivered pre-orders. I had pre-ordered it many months before. It took everything (even calling eBay on the phone!) and a call-out post on Twitter to get over $100 back that I got scammed from. Pre-orders spanning months are actually not allowed on eBay but of course, they never take down those listings in violation. If you can't ship it out within 30 days of payment, it's against policy.

Definitely don't do pre-orders on there. I probably just answered my own question too if people are having negative experiences often like with scamming. lol
:FeelsWeirdMan:
But I used to sell on there a bit so I'm surprised the traffic on listings are awful now.

The only other place I can think of is Mercari but I hate dealing with the offer system because people will always low ball you. It's an issue with everything I list on Mercari and it can't be turned off like on eBay.

I don't know what's worse, people hosting their communities on Discord or people shilling Telegram as a private alternative to Discord.

@Mr_NutterButter He just likes to wear girly clothes (in secret!)! He has slightly plump thighs but a boxy shaped torso.

@amerika He just has awful work ethic and no respect for people's money and it will bite him in the ass soon, I'm sure!

Also I am making more progress than the fucking clown that owes me a commission since over a year ago. He got a new tablet because now his old was "dying" and now tells me "he needs to adjust to it".
But I switched from working on a mobile tablet for years ago to working on a PC tablet immediately. Pathetic and I don't think I will use his commission anyways.
