Ebay store subscription seeing new feature ebay Seller Hub

Ebay recently just sent email notification to most if not all ebay seller whom have some kind of subscription to their services. For me, I do have the $15 a month cheap services with them, but I can tell you it doesn’t protect you at all from people giving you negative feedback. Other than that it does protect you from scammer.

*** Once I want to make it clear. No matter what services you subscribed to Ebay. Ebay does not protect you from negative feedback given by others *** totally no protect from negative feedback.

I encountered problems with bad ebay buyer just giving you negative or neutral feedback for no good reason at all, even if you tried your best to rectified the issue still negative and ebay will never remove it.

Well according to the latest email notification for ebay seller. Look like some new tools will be available, not sure what it will help though, but should be better I hope, if not, I have a choice to go back to the old layout I guess.

I think Amazon Fire TV stick is better than the Google Chromecast

I have Google Chromecast, actually two, and it’s been serving me well. A crash here and there, but I think it’s just some glitch. I’ve watched Google Movie with it, and everything else on youtube, it’s awesome. The only problem is, it doesn’t have Amazon Prime Videos as one of its compatible apps.

However on the other hand, the Amazon Fire TV stick appears to have youtube and and everything else including Amazon Prime videos apps that broadcast on it.

Yeah sure, google Chromecast can broadcast whatever on your computer screen or whatever and steam it to your TV, but good luck streaming HD movies from your laptop or mobile devices expecting HD movies to play smoothly, well it doesn’t. I tried it already.

So today I did some further research and most likely I will be selling Chromecast once I get the Amazon Fire TV stick which should get delivered tomorrow, will see.

Now, don’t spend a ton of money on the Amazon Fire TV especially that $50 unit will deliver in October 22nd with voice recognition. You can do similar with $39 version by using Amazon App, you can speak to it on your phone app and control it. The $50 version have voice built into the remote control.

Fire phone texting messages with link not clickable to browser?

Another issue that I’ve encountered with the Fire Phone is, when I received a message with a hyperlink such as tracking # from USPS or something, I was to click on it, and it will bring me to usps website with tracking status. However with the Fire Phone texting, it doesn’t work.

Maybe because I don’t know how to use, it’s my third day using it. This should be standard features, I shouldn’t need to set anything up for it to work properly. Wondering if anyone encountered this issue. I tried googling searching for anyone who might have this problem, but the research result shows up empty. I search for “fire phone text messages links not clickable” so far nothing particular.

I do see quite a bit of bad reviews about the amazon fire phone, maybe these are some of the problems I encountered that everyone encounter the same thing. I hope Amazon realize these standard features and have it fix on the next OS update release. Otherwise I think I will need to root it with CM or Gapps or something.

Fire Phone Alarm and Timer clock is not intuitive

So I purchased a couple of Amazon Fire Phone, and tested it out. The one thing that used the most is the clock timer and alarm.

Android phone I used to have was an old HTC Aspire if recalled correctly. The alarm clock I was able to label it as “Wake” “Go to school” etc. for that particular alarm setting. On the Fire Phone Alarm I could not, it will allow multiple time setup but not what that particular time alarm is for.

Android phone I used to have timer after it’s completed the timer setting, it reset back to the time duration just completed. The Fire Phone does not reset back to the timer setting I had, so I have manually time it again.

Those are the two features I used a lot because I work remotely sitting down on a chair and I need to get up and move every so often 🙂 for exercise.

It’s email that will trigger your attention to take action, and some people just fell for it because they’re in a hurry or a must take action and they clicked on the link and there go your account 🙂

So please, any email you get from the internet, please don’t click on the link, rather go to the site directly such as typing in the website with correct spelling www.paypal.com

Anyone ordered delivered water to your front door and have a bunch of empty bottle lying around?

I’m just wondering if I’m the only one whom have a bunch of empty water bottle lying around because I kept on forgetting to return the empty bottle back to the water delivering company LOL 🙂

At the beginning, these companies sent a schedule date of your delivery, and they’re mostly ontime and I need to leave the empty bottle for them to pick up. Well, I kept of forgetting the delivering date. Now they went high-tech and sent the delivery notice via email, that help a little bit, but not much. I read the email kept it in mind, but the next I know was I didn’t bring it out LOL.

I think I have a solution, since everyone, mostly, have mobile devices, texting might something to use, when the delivery coming in a few hours or next day or something send the text for reminder, the user can respond back and say “got it” that way they would not receive another text, other wise the reminder text will keep sending until it’s delivered or the person text back and said “stop” or “got it” lol 🙂 might sound irritating though.

BTW, I think those water delivered taste good, better than tab water for sure, and off course cleaner, haven’t seen complaint yet.

Fake “We Want Your Feedback!” [email protected] you will not get $10

Over the years, there has been many programs where you take survey to get paid via gift cards and so on. Well, lately there has been a lot of not so truthful and safe to say fake or scam survey just want your true opinion but will not pay you anything for your time either by saying already have enough people, or you’re not qualified. Well, the truth is, you took the survey, and they got the result what they need, you’re a donkey! in other word, the “sucker” is you, you felt for the trick.

Let’s take example of the latest email sent from surveys2.com or something like this “”We Want Your Feedback!” [email protected]” you may get $10. Well folks, so far everyone whom taken this survey ended up being a sucker, no $10, and everyone so far got the result of we got enough people filled already. In other word you’re a sucker to felt for this trick, even for $10 and using identity as CITI, and has a logo of Citibank on it.

Bitcoin is in the positive number start of the week

Last week for a few days straight it’s been in the positive, many would thought this week it will go down in the red. However today, starting of the week, it’s still in the positive green, but we don’t know for how long.

Predicting Bitcoin price is like predicting on who will win the lottery or what # will be the winning #, yeah exactly! we don’t know 🙂

The only thing for an average Bitcoin enthusiast like myself here today is to watch the price, and read the news. I no longer doing any mining, although I still have the mining hardware, a few BFL and so, just sitting around collecting dusts.

I do hold on to a small # of Bitcoins, and hope one day it will go to at least $500 again. Optimistic about the $500, but higher than that, the probability is low! because everyone already know, bitcoin not supposed to go up that high that fast, but really not predictable.
