PayPal and Ebay are bullshit !!



KNOCK OUT A NAZI / TWAT A TORY / ACCOUNTABILITY IN ADMIN / LETS HAVE A FUCKIN GO SON !!!!


so I am sure that everyone is aware that the worlds economies are finished !

the high-street is dead ! which means that the consolidation of monopoly hasn't saved the corporate monster !

the property market is overpriced ( this has been engineered through administrative greed over decades )

over inflate the cost of the basic commodity , then reduce the means that people have to secure or acquire that commodity !.... over price houses and basic services whilst dismantling the employment market

and you induce a frenzy !! lots of people fighting and vying for the meagre percentages that are left in this desiccated pollution ridden lake ! ….. literally fighting each other !!!

In 2011 I recall when ever a supermarket would put out its 'yellow sticker' items .. the close to the best before foodstuffs that is sold for a fraction of the rrp ….. and even then in the early stages of this ongoing recession , I would see students literally fighting with the elderly , disabled people fighting each other for the best of what tomorrow would only be garbage …..

I saw the terrible psychological disorder that we have been reduced too , and that was just to save like a £1 on a frozen dinner ….. and that was at the beginning of this hellish tory engineered farce !

here we are in 2018 !! and the keep calm and carry on slogans obviously worked !!!

look at you all !!

now I started writing this about paypal and ebay … and the dangers of monopolization !! but really its all loosely connected in a slightly abstract way !!

so the tories and their red tory predecessors effectively encouraged this whole market collapse , now I am torn between this being a genuine administrative oversight ( in which case the administration has become so ineffective as to be essentially redundant ! )  or its a very deliberate and sinister ' master plan ' but in either case my opinion is that the while thing needs to be collapsed and re engineered to better tackle the issues that we as a global society face ! but not in accordance with the out of touch and out of date doctrines of some intergenerational entitled piece of shit !! but by actual humans !

so these evil or incompetent assholes generate this supply and demand gap !! effectively enginerring shortages !! so that demand increases !! which in turn pushes up the base price ….. but who really benefits ? the percentage people !!! the talentless lazy , uninformed , mediocrity that we have filled our whole administrations with …… expensive incompetence ….. or worse expensive totalitarianism !!

so ths is where I am going to try and round off this fractured tirade !!

so the high street is dead , the banks are finished , the institutions are a laughable joke ! so we as a demographic seek out alternatives !

the banks failed !! the only people that cant quite seem to grasp this are the bankers and the politicians themselves !! but everyone else can see it a mile off !

so we turned to the alternatives ! we looked to the paypal to replace the failed international banking circuit

we turned to ebay because rent and rates have destroyed any semblance of productivity that can be maintained with these extortionate overheads on the high street  !

now like I said I anticipated this …. you cant cruise through the last few decades like we have under the grand assumption and government backed slogan that everything will work out fine !! no it wont !!!… the people that are trying to sell you these mantras are the people that fucked you in the first place …. and now we are all just waiting for the same inevitable collapses , from the same predictable institutions that we have seen over the past 40 odd years !!

ebay have become the new council tax and paypal the new banking system !!

I wanted nothing to do with any of these systems , and for years I kept saying out loud …. why would we pay for a system of assumed function , when in the practical …. they don't function , and then they turn around and ask for a fairly large percentage … effectively for a very bad service !!

but through a little nudging I recently decided to put a few hand made products for sale online , through e bay

and great I pretty much sold 10,000 pounds worth of hand tailored , handmade , handcarved art product in less than 3 weeks !! great ! right ?

well no , not really

it has been such an arduous process that I don't think I will bother again !! you see I don't seem to be as afflicted by the ' obsessive compulsive acquisition syndrome ' that everyone seems to be suffering from …. I make bespoke items and I sell them when I need specific revenue … for specific projects ! ( and that level of self reliance came about because a few years ago … as the economy was being sabotaged , see when people have disposable income , they can choose to spend it when and where they like …. if they don't have disposable income …. then the vendors close !! the shops go out of business !! …. the economy ceases to function !!! ) so we ended up with a load of well branded shitty loan and grant applications , now I saw hundreds of potentially brilliant projects and works that were literally destroyed by this promise of elusive  monies ….. the application process itself takes weeks if not months , sometimes more !! so again it became a redundant enterprise ! ( jeff koons would be issued some grant … some  huge sum of money for a golden plated mickey mouse … and yet community arts centres were closing at an unprecedented rate ! )

so it seemed obvious …. go out of business , trying to engage in the business itself !! or go out of business with a hand full of grant applications whose validity had become equivocal to lottery tickets !!

so I did the former …. just get on with the work , and hopefully people will buy the work ….. which will facilitate the continuation of the work !! and so it did … not quite miraculously ! it took a shit load of continual effort !!

and now once again …. the administrations that are set up to facilitate these kinds of ingenuities , just drain all the life out of the thing

like I said ten grand in 3 weeks !!!

can I access my funds ?

no

can I speak to a human in the organization ?

no

can I find a means of mediation ?

no

can I even log into my paypal ??

no

can I contest the fact that you want to ' look after ' revenue generated …. even after you have taken your percentage out of the at present pending balances !!

no

can I have access to those funds that I generated through the production and retail of my own products ?.... you know so that I might reinvest that capital into materials for the new commissions ??

no

so what is it you do again ??? and why do you feel the compulsion to charge for this so called service ??

the cash in your pocket has already been earmarked by these institutions … and now even the alternatives that were set up to usurp or replace the failed institutions … have become the very things, the very same things that required an alternative to be engineered in the first place !!

you know how in animal farm , those pigs kept changing the terms and conditions of the ' service agreement '

well its a bit like ….. actually its a shit load like that !!

you want living breathing proof that this system that we currently inhabit is so completely dysfunctional …… I am it !! I am the means of production !! I turn nothings into somethings … the very basis of the original economy !! and yet I am held to ransom by these limp wristed little percentage people ….

I will finish my current obligations and ship the necessary packages …. I will begrudgingly pay the necessary percentages on transactions generated by MY WORK !! but I doubt I will be repeating the process …..

as I said the cash in your pocket is the only real democratic expression you have …. so choose wisely , or this will just go on and on , so carry on being a fucking herd animal !! keep calm and carry on …. but as I have uttered before …. you can keep this pile of horse shit because there is nothing in it for me !!! the Royal Academy?my arse !! mc vegan ?my arse !!! paypal ?? my arse !! ….. Ebay ??? …… my Arse ??

Many people I speak to assume that being an Artist is all very nice .... generally because great aunt murial paints and she is always going off on little artists retreats and whatnot! or its the stark opposite , people think that you have to live in squalor and be stark raving mad! truth is there are components of both in my existence x
