if you’re an ebayer, you need to listen (and hopefully laugh!) at this song on this website…

Recently I have been getting this ultra-annoying error message on PayPal — message 3005 and it just says “sorry we’re experiencing temporary difficulties… please try again later”. Well it got to the point where I was getting nothing but this message and I was really fed up. I like to pay for my auctions promptly — and because of this error message it was really holding things up!!
I worked out a way around it (I think!) so if it happens again — what I’ll do is click on the button that lets you pay for only one item at a time (rather than all your paypal items at once).
We’ll see if that is the fix or just a fluke of last night.

You could own a pub in Virginia — buy it on ebay for only $125,000.00!!

while being sick at home…
Ebay is soooo addictive.
I have learned some things about Ebay though–
1.) There is a right way and a wrong way to change your maximum bid — the right way just changes it, the wrong way changes the current bid to your maximum bid straightaway — doh!
2.) Ebay is totally boring and dead after midnight England time on Ebay.co.uk. Most auctions end at midnight and the next ones don’t begin to end until lots later in the day, so enjoying a good bid when you can’t sleep isn’t a good idea because there won’t be any!
see what you can learn when you are sleep (and company) deprived?
fabulous.
p.s. doc signed me off for another week today — the viral thing has now reared it’s ugly head and transformed into an acute sinus & chest infection. www.dictionary.com defines acute as “Having a rapid onset and following a short but severe course: acute disease.” My translation — it starts quick and knocks you on your bum and makes you lose the will to live. I was having chills yesterday that I couldn’t shake even with a shirt, 2 fleeces, 2 blankets and my overstuffed goose-down duvet!! I was literally shaking and was so miserable it made me cry.

At least some good is coming of it though…
Today in the post arrived 2 things– an Orange sim card (which my hubby really cleverly hacked my old phone to fit in) so we can now appreciate Orange Wednesdays at the movie theatres!! And the second thing was my beautiful Parker 21 pen!! I unwrapped it and got my jar of Quink out and had a go at filling it and off I went… writing was dreamy with it– it writes soooo smoothly!! I just love this pen. Oh my. It’s beautiful. I might even post a pic of it just to show you the beautiful nib on it.

I won a couple of auctions on ebay today! I already got the “Buy it now” Orange mobile phone sim card– to send text messages to 241 and get one person in free on “Orange Wednesdays” and then later I found pages full of Fountain pens and Playing Cards!! I bid on a couple of fountain pens and lost — but I did win one important one! For a Mont Blanc…. whoar! It’s going to be a beaut. I’ve always wanted a MB — and I paid less than a fifth of the retail price!! yippee!!
Watch this space over the next couple of weeks as my MB wings its way over from somewhere in the far east to Merrye Olde England!
The other auction I won was for some round playing cards with the union jack flag on them– they’re ace. They should arrive sometime next week.
It’s really addictive!
