I just totally give up

I'll be danged. Had the two presents, and the dang dog chewed them up.

I can't believe this. I can't stop crying and feel like an anxiety attack is coming on.

I "want" to ditch the dog, but won't...............hate all these stupid crazy thoughts going through my mind. Now here it is 2 days before and I can't do anything.

I don't have any accounts like PayPal that are usable to ask for help, all I have is Obopay. God, why did this year have to be so bad? Can next year be better please??

Can ANYONE help us, please? I do have the Obopay account.

I'll be willing to do a loan. I even looked online for a PayDay loan, but I've heard such horror stories about them, and I don't need another issue to deal with.

Please, someone tell me what I could do now??

How PayPal stole Christmas

Not bad enough the company I worked for, for 10 years downsized, and I was laid off. So while looking for employment, thought I'd EBay my belongings that were in good shape.

Had both my EBay and PayPal accounts for over 3 years. Granted very little activity. Mainly buying off Ebay. 100% positive on Ebay and no complaints, no disputes on PayPal.

Things were going good for a few months. Selling mainly little $3-$5 items, but it at least helped keep us above water. I would divide my day between job applications, resumes, interviews and listing on EBay. I was putting in over 10 hours a day between all that.

Started listing bigger/more expensive items, as I learned the Ebay ways (what seemed to work and what didn't). Had a couple of good sales. Was so releived that little more money was coming in.

I also had ordered the PayPal debit card when I started Ebaying. It was quick to arrive, and just used it to pay for small purchases (mainly at local drug store, quick trip to grocery). Nothing out of the ordinary.

Well, last Friday, I withdrew, from an ATM, a couple hundred dollars. Paid a few bills.

This past Monday evening I went to withdraw about $500.00 to do some Christmas shopping (all the while more money is being put into PayPal due to weekend sales). No can do. Frozen.

Suspious activity? Yeah, that's a good answer!! Because I finally start making money for them, they want to keep it, maybe??

Well, they have helped ruined my Christmas. I literally have no money for Christmas.

During that time, I've set up accounts with a few other places, but of course, being I'm new to them, I'll never get pay outs in time for shopping this weekend. Plus, so many consumers don't want to use other "pay" systems. So my sales have dropped drastically.

They have raked me over the coals, and thanks to them (I should had withdrew what money I had in there out on Friday, but thought all was well).

Can anyone direct me to a way to get mainly Christmas money? Still have a couple of bills due. Would hate to lose electric and water before Christmas.

Thanks

Water getting ready to get cut off, can't fund 10 year olds Washing trip

I havne't felt this low in such a long time. I guess since I was laid off from my job. I finally mananged to get a job, where I wouldn't have to rely on child care and still can see my son. I'm a single Mom and like to try to be wih him as much as I can when he's not at school. I would hate to see him bored roaming the streets looking for stuff to do.

My new job doesn't pay what the old one did, but I'm just glad to be working. But due to the layoff we fell so far behind in all bills. I'm slowly catching them up, and most places have been good with working with me, but some are getting a wee bit tired of it and I understand-they are businesses.

My water is due to be cut off next week.

My 10 year old old son, has a chance to go to Washington. He was so proud of himself. He's worked hard in all his elem. school years, making honor roll, being safety patrol, never in trouble at school, and now he won't see it come real (the trip). The 1st deposit is due next week, with another even larger deposit due a few weeks after that, and the remainder a few weeks after that. It breaks my heart to see him lose out on that chance, but I can't come up with that money right now. Heck, I can't even pay for the water bill.

I'm hoping maybe someone would consider helping us out with these 2 things. I know the water is the real priority when it comes to life, but the trip somehow means more important to me, because this could be a once in a life time chance for him.

Thanks for checking this out.
