Dealing with real customers online sucks! A lesson and self reminder.
 

I have been working on a craft goods store in my spare time because I enjoy it, and figured make a couple extra bucks. Its been something I enjoy while getting away from the net stuff.

So I make my first sale. Already the customer wanted a similar but smaller item at half the price, I tried to be nice and helpful, and ended up making the sale on the original item which was good. I even gave them free shipping.

I sent her a paypal payment request figuring it would be easiest. The person has already told me they are afraid of giving paypal their bank info, so no problem they can just pay by credit card. Now they are telling me they paid, and it is my responsibility to deal with paypal and quit asking them questions. And the payment is not in my paypal account!

I have emailed them asking for the transaction id, and figure this entire transaction might go down in flames if my patience wears out.

And by the time paypal takes their fees, and I pay for the shipping, I'll be left with about $10 of which half is easily what the item cost to produce at rock bottom. woohoo I'm rich bitch! haha

I am barely getting started and I am already discouraged. Although I enjoy making this stuff, I don't see myself pushing a whole lot further after being reminded what real hard good customers are like. And I don't feel like creating a return policy either. :1orglaugh

So this is a lesson to myself and a reminder why internet porn is so awesome! :1orglaugh

and I already have xmas gifts for all the women in my family! yay!

You should check out the book entitled "The Four Hour Work Week". :)

Gives you a new perspective doesn't it? People are horrible because they can feel entitled to be, in porn, who's going to argue about the content? No one wants to be tied back to it, so therefore, no arguments :)

I'm not paying for that subscription to "Tranny Midgets do interracial lesbian MILFs Volume 7!"

Yeah right. Your paying for it... or else.... :)

I used to do orders of goods for Barney's New York! I made thousands of bucks when I was barely 21. I had wealthy designer friends and used to go to parties in million dollar homes and had such a good time. It was awesome.

So fast forward years later I thought how cool would it be to take what I used to do and bring it to the web.

Forget it. Back to porn. I don't need the glory. :1orglaugh

oh yeah, forgot to mention the person originally emailed me that they'd be purchasing the item as soon as their disability check came in... :1orglaugh man oh man

i hear that
