It's not exactly news that eBay/PayPal have been skewing things in favour of buyers for a while. If they gave you your money now, what if the buyer claims he never received the package (either truthfully, or fraudulently)? It's much easier to refund his money if they never release it to you in the first place.

That's true, but if you're running a business then it's not feasible to have your funds sitting there waiting for 21 days. I know that if you sell x amount of things or over a certain amount then the money is yours right there and then. I just find it frustrating that I've been a member of eBay since 2004 and have sold many things since then. I've just sold something for about $500, so now that's paid, surely I should have access to it? I've sold it internationally, and they've released money for postage - a whole $15 - even though the postage is $90.

The problem I find is that they support the buyer more than the seller. It's partially why I'm taking photo's of everything and documenting everything so when the person receives it it'll all be ok.

@bayloski - The Conjuring was great. Loved it. Didn't love the person who talked through the whole film. I did yell at them half way through though.

I do like the swearing though. I mean, I really like it.

Yeah, I'm not loving the lack of dedicated AUS forums right now.

But, what I'm not loving even more? Paypal's decision to hold onto my money for 21 fucking days before I can access it because I don't sell items on eBay that often. It's insane. I have sold the items, I have sent the items, so why punish me and not give me my money? I'm now going to miss out on an item because I don't have the money right now. For fucks sake. Just terrible.

@Chickan_117 - when you played Metal Gear recently, did you play it on the Vita or PS3?

Also, with Virtue's Last Reward, how important is it that I play the first one 999? Can I just read a synopsis of what happened in the first game and then head into Virtue's Last Reward? I'm building myself up a bunch of Vita games for when I go away at the end of the year. I think the only other game I'll add to my pile is Tearaway.

bayloski - This is one of the patients we've got in today:

Cool. He's got more of a boofhead than the Don. The Don's more snouty. Same colouring and stuff though. Don's got hell black spots under the white on his belly. Also noticed he was happy at the time. I'm weighing up whether to get the Don's knackers off or not...

Very happy dog this one.

I recommend getting it done. We've seen a bunch of unsterilised males this year that have had prostate cancer or anal tumours. The other benefit is that Don won't have all the urges that he would have if he wasn't sterilised. It's much better for him.

@Chamboosy - Aww no! Why are his eyes so red?

He'd had a sedative so was a little dopey. He'd come in for sterilisation. His pal was a bit sad when they were separated.

I haven't heard anything from JB's about it. It's almost a month until it comes out and they aren't advertising the PS4 in their catalogue anymore (yet are still advertising the XBone for preorder) so I wonder if JB's will even have bundles. Maybe, maybe not.There aren't any bundles up on EBGames either.

I think I'll be buying Battlefield 4 and Killzone Shadow Fall day one. Battlefield 4 because it's Battlefield, Killzone because it's the only game that I'm interested that's exclusive to the PS4. Knack looks like a bunch of fun but I have a feeling that'll be part of PSPlus fairly quickly.

Fun story about raptors. There was a girl my boss used to work with who was really quite sweet. They didn't really see birds - especially birds of prey - very often. Anyhow, an eagle had come in to have some surgery done. They had anaesthetised the eagle and were busy working away on it. As the bird was waking up it went to grab the vet - who would have easily moved out of the way - and the nurse went to grab the eagles claw to stop it from grabbing the vet - instinct really. Unfortunately for her the eagle ended up grabbing her and managed to pierce her right through her radius and ulna. Fortunately not breaking anything. Needless to say she wasn't a vet nurse for much longer.

I'm not interested in Watch Dogs all that much. I'm sure it'll be good, but I think the sequel will be much better when they won't have to pander to current gen technology.
