With the New Job Craze, Here's my Story

tinser by tinser · Feb 9, 2004 · 280 views · · · Journal

It seems like a lot of eZabeler's have been getting new jobs lately, myself included. Anyway, my new job is the greaaaaaaatest job in the world.

I'm uploading things to ebay for a company that sells collectable items.

It pays 30% more then my last job, I get to work from home (in my pajamas if i want!), It's pretty easy, but not really boring, my schedule is super flexible...i can do as much as i want in a week...and at whatever time i want to.

It's just so perfect, i can't even really believe it. My last job paid me peanuts and they made me lift super heavy boxes, use ladders, stuff that they really should have gotten a guy to do, rather then a girl who probably weighed as much as the boxes she was lifting. Such a great change!

wow how did you get in on that?

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

somebody i go to school with worked there and said they were hiring....once again to prove, its not what you know, but who you know

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·

Are they only in your area? Or all over the place?

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

only in ny

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·

Ok that settles it....I'm moving to NY!!

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

why on earth would you want to move here, well unless its somehow warmer then where u are now

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·

Actually, it's not. And I'd have to ok it with my hubby first, so moving is not likely. But I'd LOVE to find a job where I can make some money working from home, so I don't have to put my son in daycare. Having extra spending cash is always good.

aw! sounds great! my kindda job haha

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

Hey that sounds cool! But be careful, I remember reading something about something like this being an illegal scam... dang I cant' remember exactly what it was... i'll see if I can find it! I'm sure it's all good but just in case... I'll look for it.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

I can't find it... i just remember either seeing it on the news or reading about it, that people respond to job listings about selling stuff on ebay for a third party, and they make good money off of it, and then the stuff gets sent to them, i think, and then they send the stuff to the buyers, and SOMEHOW someone is being scammed. I forgot the rest. Sorry i don't have more info.. heh.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

hmm, i dont think thats the case, because the company has done a lot of bussiness and has a 98% custumer satisfaction rating and one of those stars....but i'll keep my eyes open for fishy-ness

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

as long as you get paid who cares whats goin on, when checks start bncing then you get mad!

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

the major downside to this job however...is that my computer so needs to be re-formatted, and it freezes about every 10 minutes, so i lose my work...ugh

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003 ·

dang. the witch Nic needs money. shes only interning.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ·

woah, did you just call your daughter a witch?

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001 ·

i know thats what i thought...weird.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

hahaha, maybe she is a witch. imagine.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 ·

yeah, like I said before, i now feel funny about IMing you cause I feel like I'm takin money from your pocket - time is $$!!...hey, i just got the best idea..how about, you ask for more uploads than you know you can handle - I'll do the excess, and you can have 35% of the profit from the extra uploads!..it'd be like an expansion, you'd have your own employee..you'd be like, my boss...hmm..i dunno if i like that idea

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

nah, if i don't want to be imed, i will put up an away message or just not go online, so don't worry about it

and, yeah...i love that idea! haha, i tried to tell my mom that i'd pay her 5 bucks an hour if she worked for me. She didn't like that idea.
