    Who here actually works outside of the interenet ?..

    Who here doesnt have time to just come home from school and chill out on the PC but in actual fact has to stay in diffrent area's of the UK working without the connection to the net or a computer...

    Well what's just been explained is basicly me..

    I've been working my socks off lately so i have enough splash to buy a car, i've recently stayed in london for 4 day's solid and then yesterday i got back from a 3 day venture in bristol to find i had a negative TR and someone didnt want me to buy there site...

    I explained that i work etc.. and they replied with well i've basicly given you a bad TR (which says i dont follow deals though) but then they said they dont want to do the deal no more.. im really confused how this work's ive also had another problem like this some days back, any one else get the same situation with impatient sellers ?

    It sounds like you're having a tough time adjusting. I used to work outside the net, but now I work with the net full time. To be honest, it is hard to work a normal day job and be fully dedicated to working online at the same time.

    It's called 9 to 5, then 7 till 3! :)

    It's like anything - when you put more time into something another thing suffers - it is important to find the right balance

    Ya I think you should devote all your time to the online business.
    Because at the end this is a job.

    id love to be able to work out of the net, and really breathe the air..

    net net net net net net..

    sometimes it just gets so tiring, and you start interrogating yourself, what am i in this job again, instead of doing something more productive, more helpful to humanity.



    [nah, don't mind me people. i just wanna go home.]

    I do have a day job but I can visit DP from there every once in a while. I work in the internet for some extra money and to be honest I like working in the internet than my real day job. :)

    Stop crying would you Peter Avey. You bid on my proxy, then were too lazy to even find the thread, so you made me PM you the thread. Then you ignored me for 24 hours, so I PM'd again reminding you of my PayPal address, and you replied,

    "Can i ask you a question? why are you PMing me the same stuff ? i've read this about 30 time's please stop or i wont be paying any thing"

    So I replied and heard nothing for almost 48 hours. I then judged by your recent iTrader from another seller that you weren't going to pay so left negative feedback.

    Then I got a reply saying you can't be around 24/7 etc...

    So I decided it just wasn't worth the hassle. You only reply to one PM every 24 hours and make no attempt to tell people what's going on. You never said you were going to be away, and you never reassured me that payment was coming.

    So instead of coming crying to the members of DP, look at what actually happened, look at why it happened, and look at the full picture.

    I can post the whole PM discussion up if anybody is particularly interested.

    I have a full-time job. Spend 1-2 hours a day for online. I would never depend on online business since the life is expensive. Especially property prices.

    I know the feeling mate, me and my partner bonzer here on DP have dealt with some real fools of late. This one dude offered us a trade, that was a redesigned front page for the fantastic www.mysmartscripts.com in exchange for one of our scripts www.mymediascript.com

    So we did the trade. We then wanted an addition to the scripts on the front end, this idiot f*cked us about for over a month saying he had done it. First we asked him to over-write it on the FTP, with no joy we then asked him simply to send the files and we would do it ourselves. He said "no problems I'll send it over," over one month later the tool still hadn't even got his arse into gear enough to send that. :confused:

    I will not name the DP member as I don't want to embarrass him lol.

    I fully understand your frustration mate, some idiots shouldn't even be on the net IMHO if they cannot get things sorted.
