I need to vent. I just had to spend 20 min on the phone with ebay. Tried to buy a cat water/food dispenser from a seller. Used buy it now, paid through paypal, got an email with the transaction #. 1 minute later I get an email from ebay that my payment didn't go through, try again. So I go and do it again. Pay through paypal, first transaction was gone, get an email with transaction #, followed by another email from ebay about payment not going through. I check sellers page, says paypal accepted. Check my paypal,,has correct visa #, exp date etc. Finally find the place to get ebay to call me. Get some guy who says 'it shows that your check out went through just fine'. I said no it did not. Both transactions are gone from paypal , and the one that showed up right away in our bank account also disappeared just as fast. He sends me to the 'buying specialist', who of course speaks broken english
This moron tells me that Ebay is breaking ties with paypal and that they are blocking buyers from using it. I said you are totally incorrect, I know because I just used paypal on Friday to buy a Bissell Little Green Clean Machine with no issues. He disappears and comes back and says he was wrong..that the seller is the one who blocked me from using paypal. That they don't take paypal I said then they need to be reprimanded and ebay needs to make them remove Paypal as a form of payment for that seller. Guy says why don't you try buying it using your visa or debit. I said I do NOT want my visa or debit on file with ebay, that is why I use paypal! He says I will find you another seller of the same item. So he does..I look at it, and say this seller has no feedback and has been a seller for 5 days. Says they take paypal. Guy looks and says..oh I see the issue,,neither one of those sellers is verified by paypal, that's why you can't pay that way. They are going to notify both sellers that they must either verify themselves or remove paypal as a form of payment. So I made the guy restate that Ebay was NOT doing away with buyers being able to use paypal..and he admitted he spoke out of turn on that one. I said well if you do away with it, you are going to lose a LOT of ebay buyers.. I have been buying on ebay for more than 25 years, and I have never run into this issue before. The guy says do you want to try and buy it from another seller. I said YES,,I am going to
Amazon to buy it,,thank you for your time and your 'misinformation' and I hung up...geez..what a waste of my time!
Thanks for letting me vent..hubby doesn't want to hear it..he was trying to talk over the guy the whole phone conversation I was on..lol!
A special 
for 
I am feeling better. Had another busy day (and maybe busy is good). DH and I were up and out by 0630 got coffee and a donut, hit a dog park with Toto, then went grocery shopping when the store opened so we were able to fly right through. Carried all the bags in and took a short rest before tackling putting everything away and cleaning the fridge and cabinets out at the same time. Finished laundry, watered and put all my houseplants outside to get some sun (and a little rain), and then took a little nap, which felt good. Everything looks so pretty outside now that we have some greenery and flowers are blooming, etc. Love that! And I’m sorry that so many of you have had problems with wills and such. Wow. We’ve lost all four parents now, too. With previous deaths (and my Dad’s was 35 years ago) it wasn’t really an issue because there was still a spouse. SIL has been dealing with FIL’s estate and she said there have been headaches, too. I guess there probably always is. At least we’ve gotten over the hump and are headed for the home stretch, it seems. I find dealing with the banking issues the hardest, it’s not my forte. I’d much rather take care of sick people than go into a bank! (Which makes total sense for me!)
