Pandora's Casket

I had an email today from a sellers family. At first I was totally confused only to find out they were the ones at a loss.

The email explained how the seller had passed away and if what was going on with items, sales the entire nine yards. I had to check because the name looked familiar but I wasn't sure if I had anything outstanding with her.

They explained exactly what it was they were going to do. Down to actually telling people to file disputes through Paypal in order to get the money back as Paypal will not let them into her account.
Sending all packages out to those they have ready etc.

Now, would a person that is scamming tell customers to file a dispute? Oh, heck no. They would in fact ignore you completely and that would be that.

In checking my purchases I finally found her. I had been in a quandary over why feedback had not been posted as this seller was on top of things. Shrugging it off I had forgotten about it. I had received my item weeks ago. AND I would like to add very swiftly at that.

Today I took a look at this sellers store (which is up for very good reasons) and feedback. I mean it is crazy to think of that this type of moronic behavior is taking place. People, and I say that loosely, are actually giving this dead woman negative feedback!

The funniest is that in some of the feedback I read they stated no communication. Well, are we as sellers when we die (knocking wood it doesn't happen while we are selling) supposed to communicate from the grave?

In some of the other feedbacks they actually say this person died but no product. What is wrong with these people? I could tell you really but it would be all censored words. haha

I am totally ashamed of those buyers that posted negative feedback because the woman died. Yes, they died so you wouldn't get your item. What is wrong with you people?

Shaking my head I decided to vent my disgust with those buyers that slammed her, saying basically it was no excuse. Even that it was a scam. Karma will get those that did this. Or at least I hope so.

You can clearly see by this persons feedback that it was nearly perfect. Why would they scam now? Or are these buyers so cold hearted and non trusting that they can not accept the possibility and fact that life and yes, death happens to one and all. Even eBay sellers and buyers.

Shame! Shame! Shame on you people. How would you feel if your family were left with impressions like this? Gee, what if you were a buyer should the seller slam you also?

Really makes you think as a seller. I told my family about all this and my daughter told me to hurry up and get those packages out. haha
If I were the family and was able to I would answer each and every one of those feedbacks slamming those buyers.

Was I a friend of this person? Nope, just another of their buyers this past month. As a Power Seller and store owner on eBay I am appalled. Even in death sellers have a certain standard to live up to. And I thought the new TOS for power sellers was tough, I did not realize we had a life after death commitment as well.

Just goes to show you that even in death we sellers get negative feedback when things do not go smoothly.

I really hope I don't die before I get these orders out tomorrow.

One thing that bothers business owners when they are getting ready to hire new employees is that of who they really are. You read the resumes, sure, but applications and resumes can be faked. One of the best things that a business professional can do is to obtain and Employment Background Check. This may seem harsh to many but this can in the long run save you money in the future.

With the services of Employers Reference Source they take this task seriously for you. They have numerous services that include the Employee Screening process. Running complete and very through checks on your potential employees.

In this day it is sad to think that we business owners must do this to our potential employees but lets face facts. How many companies have hired people without checking their backgrounds only to find months even years later that this person has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from them? Employers need a resource that will protect them in hiring reputable and honest people.

Using the complete service's of Employers Reference Source will alleviate the stress in worrying about your hiring decisions. Utilize the services they have to offer before you hire your next employee.

One of the main questions that I have been asked is how do we know that the Gods and Goddesses are listening. A very potent and tricky question to answer. One that has been attempted over the ages of time.

It is something the individual must feel alone. Not something that is told to them by others. A true feeling of warmth, comfort and trust is felt. During times that are turbulent and calm. The feeling is there. Sometimes it is harder to discern it is there but none the less it is.

During sessions of counseling I have attempted to comfort those with the feeling of what I call it” loss of the Gods". It is the feeling brought on by circumstances that are beyond our control and seem to be over whelming us. Those times when we are at our lowest and darkest moments. Not seeing the eternal light that is flowing around us. The light is there, it is us that is blinded to its glow. We are so wrapped in our dismay that we do not see nor feel the warmth. It is cold and dank . The feeling of being alone in our situation causes us to bemoan to our Gods and Goddesses as to where they are. Why are they letting this happen to their children? Is there no help to be given by them?

Help us to help ourselves

Time and time again you have either read or heard me tell of our having to help ourselves in all situations. Gathering strength from within to begin the process of re-entering the living. Solving the problems on our own. Our Gods and Goddesses lend a whisper in our ears for guidance, yet it is not heard by those in need. They are ignoring the whisper. Worse they are caught up in the yelling and ranting that it is not just to be going through this or that. Yet it is. It is set forth that we go though trying times. We are given tests to strengthen our personal will. Gaining from what they our deities has brought to us.
The help they are giving is nothing at times. It may sadden them to see us in despair, but they know that when the end is there we will have gained three more steps on pur given path.

Seek and Ye Shall Find

Signs abound. One must look, feel and see. Ignoring them hinders your personal progress to enlightenment. We must grasp each new trial with head strong tenacity. Focus on what the problem is and solve it as best we can. Requesting signs and help from our Gods should be done. Not to lay it all on them though. That is the reason we are here. To learn. To experience life. To fix what is needed.
Every where you are there are signs if you are aware. Being in despair does not mean you should totally sink your head in the sand. Keep an eye and ear open. You might be surprised of what you will see or hear. They send us guiding inspiration when asked. It is our fault when it is not received. Our fault? Yes, for we have chosen during these times to be ignorant of what we have learned by past experiences. As each new trial and tribulations is different, there is generally a common ground shared by the problems which occur in your life.

Forgive and Forget

If this is the common theme to your personal dilemma, forgiving and forgetting then work on it. Are you truly forgiving both parties? One person I asked this of answered that they did forgive the party. I in turn asked them did they forgive their selves for forgiving them? They after thought smiled and said “No". Forgiving and forgetting is not only for a person, but things also. Forgiving that something bad has happened in your life and forgetting it happened. Holding onto it for future reference though. You may need to go back and re-think again if you find that you are in the same boat again. Learn to forgive and forget inward also. Sometimes a guilt is there for forgiving because you really didn’t want to in the first place. It’s ok to do this. You will be surprised at how healing this can be.

Holding Tight

Are you holding onto the past? Let it go as you would a wild bird that has been caged. Look at the bird (your problematic past) grieve that it will soon be gone. Let the cage door hang wide open. See the bird leaving you? This is your way of letting go of what you are holding onto.
Grasping tightly to something or someone is a terrible emotional pain that we often do. We feel the need to hold tight to whatever it is. We claim it, own it and have to have it. Do we really? We are brought people and things into our lives every day. Each may have a lesson for us. Long term friends and associates are the hardest to say good bye to. Especially if an intimate relationship is in the process of leaving. You will find that you may grasp on, holding ever so tightly for fear of the unknown. Our deities has helped us with bringing these into our lives and now will help us to let them go.
Let them go. Grieve freely. Begin to heal yourself. Knowing that your Gods/Goddesses are there with a hand on your shoulder sharing your pain. You learned something and they know it wont be long before you truly see it. I am sure they smile at that thought.

Life Goes On. So must we

For those that have chosen the Path Each knows that deep down they are never alone. The guidance. The warmth. The Love. Its all there for us. We just need to seek inner solace sometimes that our free will is important not only to us but them. Entrust upon them your love and they will do the same. It is up to you to do the hard parts. That is to look with eyes that see. Hear with ears that listen. Love with hearts already filled with love.

Whether it be good or bad times it matters little. Our deities love us with each day that passes. They are there when we need or in some cases think we do not need them.

When you have reached times of despair always trust and remember.

They remain with us when others have left us alone.

I have been using the Entrecard for awhile and would like to thank all those that have either dropped cards or are actually consistent in returning daily to do so. A great bunch really The information that I have found doing this I never would have run across so I am thankful for that. Do I think others should actually start dropping? Oh, yes. The traffic increases on your site but the main idea with me is that you are seeing things you might not see if you do not do this. There is a down side though.

Why is Entrecard A Danger To Your Mind? I'll tell you. You start dropping cards with the thought that you will actually do the 300 limit that they have set. No problem, right? Wrong my friend very wrong.

If you are like me you actually start reading some of these blogs. I have wiled away many an hour reading and getting lost in the various posts. My plans of simply dropping completely gone. Well, the best made plans of mice and men. After hours and yes more hours my mind is swimming with new information, my sides may ache at laughing so hard on some of the bloggers sites and even shed a tear or two. Those animal rescue sites tear me apart, I am still dropping cards.

I have seen so many sites lately that made me green with blog design envy, that I actually thought about re-designing.

Later after the 300 cards are dropped.
