Malta doesn't exist in the geo-physical realm man, it's just a state of mind…....

I hate the strap on my Chrome messenger bag, which is unfortunate, since the rest of the bag is fantastic.

So a package up to 5kgs to Norway is 32.8… It's stuck in Zone #3... However, zone # 2 (16.4 € for same package) has countries such as Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuana and fucking Estonia...
Even Malta's in zone 2. I've never even fucking HEARD of Malta. Get the fuck outta here
Even worse with USA and Canada. US is €32,8 and Canada double!

I just want to say FUCK YOU eBay and all of your low quality, lying, douchebag buyers. Long story short, I sold a Goyard wallet on US eBay and the loser buyer never paid..ok, fine. So I relisted it and it sold only to have the pit stain buyer accuse me of selling him a fake EVEN THOUGH I am the original buyer from Barney's, had all receipts, had email communication with Barney's, and have over 30 references on another site some of which are for over 5000$/ transaction. So he claims he is a "Goyard Expert" even though he didn't know that Goyard ISN'T hand painted, they use vinyl edging on numerous small leather goods, and that he thought it looked too new. This is the first FUCKING TIME anyone has bitched that something is too new. I bought it right before I got into IH so I never really carried it. So now I have to wait for my wallet ( and hopefully this asshat sends me MY wallet) and lose time and money over the deal. I mean FUCK THIS.

Yes, eBay has soooooo skewed things in favor of buyers, that if a seller does any volume of sales there he will encounter a certain percentage of scrounging, douchebag buyers. Double that if eBay.co.UK. (Naw, TRIPLE that.)
Their favorite tactic is to try to claw back money by saying an item is not as described. I have begun just including lots of good pics and measurements and NOT describing a damned thing.

Yeah for these reasons I think I'm just done.

@Cole I think the same thing every time I go into a Barney's or the like. So much of it is total garbage. A lot of those brands I see as too big to fail. It seems like virtually all inspiration was lost when they "made it" and they now know the amount of effort they need to put into a collection is limited because as long as the logo is on it or the tag is stitched into it the item is going to sell. Just blows my mind that people happily spend hundreds of dollars on a plain t-shirt that was made in China.

When I started my first contract in Australia I was placed through a payroll company. They asked me whether I had a superannuation company set up, and I replied I didn't but I'd arrange one. They said that they'd send details of their fund, but I heard nothing back.
So I set my own up, and at about the same time I received notification that I'd been set up with an account in the payroll firm's fund.
I've just been going through the bits and pieces now, and checked my online statement. Nearly $900 was invested into the payroll company's fund. Of that, around $600 disappeared in fees, taxes, and a life insurance policy! :o
I'd heard that the charges on Australian pension schemes were high, but I didn't realise that they were that high…
