Shops on Facebook are getting more popular?

[Especially those who decide to add randoms, in hope of increasing their business.
hmmm]

Well, it's not exactly safe to shop on Facebook, or is it?

I've seen those sellers who only accept "concealed cash", which is when you wrap money in some paper, put it in an envelope, so that it is not visible to anyone, and post it to the person.

I guess concealed cash is not safe, A - The money could get lost in the mail. B - The person could receive it, but claim that they didn't, as there is no proof.
You could always mail by registered post, but, is what you are buying worth you paying an extra $4 just to get the money to your seller? PLUS, they could always receive it, and claim that there was nothing inside the envelope. OHOHO

But, there are always those who have great feedback, despite accepting concealed cash. The choice of buying is yours.

HAHA, now there are those sellers who accept: Bank deposit, Face-to-face meetups with cash, and the trusty Paypal.

WHY WE LOVE PAYPAL? Well, only Buyers would love Paypal.

As a seller on ebay, I have come across Buyers who, have claimed they have not received the item, claimed that there was nothing in the box... The list goes on. They simply lodge a dispute claim with Paypal, and can get their money refunded. [Of course, it is a bit more complicated than that, but this is not the time to be complaining about Paypal.]

SO, as a Buyer, we should be happy about the Paypal Buyers' Protection. Yep, if the item never arrives, we can get our money back.

Paypal is, I suppose a safe way to SHOP online.

As for meet-ups, choose to meet up in busy places, eg. Melbourne Central. Haha.
NO, DON'T MEET UP IN ALLEYWAYS. K?

Welllll, I like FB shopping. SO YA.

CAN YOU BELIEVE MY LUCK TODAY?

On New Year's Eve, I bought a Tatts ticket, to test my luck, then forgot about it.
Today I find it, brought it to the chemist to have it put through the machine.

I was standing there waiting for it to print out, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, but instead I hear some victory music coming from the machine.

Turns out I won the Division 5. So, I got $26.65. YAY! I HAVE NEVER WON TATTSLOTTO BEFORE IN MY LIFE! Not that I'm very old...


ALSO ALSO ALSO

I got my CAS calculator today.
The Ti-nspire Cas Touchpad - the newer one.

HAHA to those who bought it with the school and paid $210 for the old one!

I got mine from Officeworks for $185!

Well, Officeworks' price is actually $199, but they have a 5% price beat policy thing, and Calculator King had it for $195, I miraculously got it for $185!

THANK YOU P for telling me about Calculator King!

My 2011 planner diary arrived in the mail today!

It is super cute, and came with freebies.

I ordered it on ebay on the 27th of December, and here it is today on the 10th of January. Postage was quite quick, as it came from South Korea, and minus all the public holidays we've been having.

Un-boxing



Such CUTE packaging! What is this? hmmmmm....



AHHH the CHA CHA DIARY!


The inside




Let's see what's inside this magic box...



A whole box of stickers!!

Cha Cha is a very good quality diary. It comes with a plastic cover, so the pages wont turn into dog ears. :) The whole format is really cute!

AND IT COMES WITH A FREEBIE CHOSEN AT RANDOM.
Also, apparently you get a 10% refund if you write a review on your item. So this is why I am doing it. ;)

If you are interested, here is the ebay link!
The seller is called ipinkorea

Can you believe that a particular pesky brother of mine would reject a movie offer from someone for Farmville?

Yep, for Farmville. He is scared that his plants might wither...

Holidays are nearly over.

Guess what, I got accepted into Girlfriend magazine for work experience. Except that, their head office is in Sydney. :S So, I'm not going to fly their just for a week.
