How To Make Ebay Work For You - for beadmakers

Yep... it's not so bad being out of the loop. And I do miss the echnical
forum... but if I have to pick one, and I really only do have time for
one, I *have* to see what's in the Showcase! And yes, the testosterone
must flow in cycles 'cause sometimes *some* guys are totally on the rag!

Once upon a time I'd have written it off as a "chick thing" ducking but
there are a few testosterone-clad types too who are just as bad. WC is yet
another tapdance. I'm trying hard to come to terms with just being out of
many and sundry "loops". Seems easier that way, sorta.

Tactical note: Sticking mostly to fluff posts and the Technical forum goes a
long way towards inner peace. G

I went through that too, right before my disappearance from WC! massive

LOL - the technical forum is where I once got ripped to shreads.
The fluff posts and of course, the show&tell posts are fun.

I am so glad I am not the only one... I don't really blame the mods
either, because it's a tough job and it's not like they get paid, but
it's simpler for me if I just mostly stay out of it.

times there that I should just shut up and take it, by people who have the
authority to close threads. (Not in so many words, but....) And then
someone else will say something and the thread will get closed. Makes no
sense at all to me. But I still post sometimes when I see a topic that I
want to comment on. I know the mods are human, and WC can be a really great
place to be. But I like it here so much better.

but there's this weird... thing... there, where if
the wrong person says the wrong thing at the wrong time, they get
crucified, while on another day another person might say the same thing,
and no one will bat an eye.

Hell, that happens here. I can say almost anything to anyone, but let Sooz say
the same thing and half the board explodes. I have left several times, in
fact, and came back when I could stand it again. Also blocked one person from
my list -- that helped, a lot.

Hell, try rec.craft.jewelry sometimes and see if you can live through that. I
have been told several times there that I am not a jewelry maker. I have sold
MANY pieces for $300 and $400, and lots more in the $100-$275 range, but shoot.
I don't know ****. Not a real jeweler.

There is always someone, somewhere, to put you down.

Becki, honey.....you DO know that you were my first hero in all of this Ebay
stuff, RIGHT????

Love you. I sent lots of people running to Ebay over the years. It just makes
sense.

Yes, exactly. I don't envy their job, but I just can't win over there,
ever. I've slowed my reading and posting over there a whole lot, because it
just stresses me out too much.

Yes, that's so true. I don't understand the phenomenon at all.

LOL - sounds like I should go over there and "let off some steam"! But
seriously, why on earth would they say you aren't a jewelry maker?
You.......make jewelry. I've seen the proof!
