Kobo Libra H20 Vs Kindle Oasis 3

Kobo Libra H20 Vs Kindle Oasis 3. They are very similar in design and features, and both have a few niggles. Check out the great review video below by "The eBook Reader" YouTube channel. Love the Kobo's ability to view PDF files, and the landscape mode is something that wins a lot of people over when comparing the two. And yes, both models are waterproof.


The Libra is considerably cheaper than the Oasis. The screen lighting and display clarity are similar on both devices [300 PPI each] but the Kindle does appear to be a little bit clearer in my opinion. Anyway, watch the video for a quick comparison. Below: A post from Reddit r/kobo.

Unsolved Mysteries - Stack Is Back

The unsolved mystery series (with Robert Stack) used to be so hard to watch online. You could occasionally find a few series or episodes uploaded to YouTube, but they wouldn't be there long until they were taken down through copyright claims.

Well the good news, is now you can watch basically any episode you want to for free online, and they are not hard to find either. No torrent or shady site filled with annoying ads to deal with. From Season 1 to season 14, they are all free to watch on YouTube. And the best part of it is, they are the original episodes that feature the main man himself, Robert Stack. There's also many that are hosted by Dennis Farina.


So how are they freely available on YouTube to watch for free? I believe that Film Rise, the company / channel that have all the Unsolved Mysteries series on their YouTube channel, have either bought the rights to the series, or have full permission to upload the full series, so there's no chance of them being taken down. They ain't going anywhere. Check out the Film Rise channel at the link, or just click the YouTube logo on the video above (Season 5, Episode 2) to be taken to YouTube.

Remo Williams Unarmed And Dangerous

Based on the Destroyer series by Warren Murphy and Richard Ben Sapir, a hardened NYPD police officer is set up and "killed" in the line of duty. His death was faked, and he is brought back to life under a new identity. Remo Williams is born. And like it or not, he is recruited into an organization that operates in the shadows of society to go after the bad guys and stop any threat they may pose, permanently.

Remo is trained by Chiun, the master of an almost forgotten Korean Martial Art called Sinanju to become the perfect 11th commandment for the organization. "Thou shalt not get away with it". Remo thinks he is helping keep the USA safe, but is there a hidden agenda at work.

Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins is a great nostalgic 80s film. A real classic from 1985 that has so much going for it. It's funny, has great acting and characters, a good soundtrack, bullet dodging and is filled with excellent action scenes. What else could anyone want. Check out the trailer below. Although, while some thinks it's decent, most people claim the trailer doesn't really do the film justice. But I thinks it's really good.


The most famous scene from this film is, of course, the Statue of Liberty attempted murder, where Remo is almost killed by a bunch of hired thugs (He ends up beating them all up). Fred Ward (Remo Williams) and Joel Gray (Chiun) have great chemistry in this film. They work really well together. Other actors well worth noting for their performances in this movie are Wilford Brimley, Kate Mulgrew and J.A. Preston.

While this is a great flick, it's a surprise that it was basically considered a flop at the time it was released due to not making enough money at the box office. This, apparently, had something to do with the way the movie was promoted. If it had done extremely well we could have seen several more sequels. There was a pilot made (The Prophecy) for what was going to be a television series (or TV movie, I'm not sure), but I don't think it ever officially made it to the screen. The pilot is available to watch for free on YouTube (and now on this blog at the link above), but to be honest, I've seen some of it, and it's terrible. The acting and storyline left a lot to be desired.

Remo Williams Unarmed And Dangerous the full movie was also on YouTube at one time but has now been taken down. I believe it is available to watch on Netflix. You can also buy the DVD (normal or Blu-ray) online [Amazon.com]. And, of course, there are many novels / books (also available via Kindle), known as the Destroyer Series out there to read. A good place to start is with either -Created The Destroyer: Volume 1 [Amazon US]. Or, if you want something more up to date; The Day Remo Died [Amazon US].

Some Quotes From the movie


Remo: "Chiun, you're incredible. Chiun: "No, I am better than that".

"Everywhere you look, slime is on the loose". 

"You move like a pregnant Yak". 

"Do you always talk like a Chinese Fortune Cookie". 

"Eat rice and play with my fingerboard, great!" 

"In Korea, door handles do not break". 

"In out, like a Duck mating".

"You're going to be the eleventh commandment, thou shalt not get away with it". 

"I thought they figured out a way to make those things smaller - These are the smaller ones". 

"Don't move. Don't even breath". 

"Hey, how do you open this. Speake English". "Does a Nightingale sing". 

"Alright now wait a minute. Is this gonna be the kind of training where we sit around for 10 years and then you tell me I'm big enough to break a brick with my big toe".

The film also features some great footage of New York in the mid 80s, including the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island.

Did you know: Even martial arts legend "Judo" Gene LeBell is in this film (what 80s film isn't he in!). He is one of the later attackers at the Statue of Liberty. In fact, he is the guy who sinks in the wet cement while chasing Remo. The actors who played the thugs trying to kill Remo on the Statue of Liberty - "End of the line, pal" scene, are all really stuntmen by profession. If you haven't seen this film, it's well worth watching. Especially if you're a fan of films from the 1980's. I love this film. -Interwire.

Telephone Boxes (Payphones) Obsolete

Telephone boxes (Payphones) offer a sobering reminder of how enhancements in technology have made something else obsolete. Just like VHS videos, DVDs, Radio Scanners,  Walkmans and CD players, advancement in technology has made them almost useless.

Who remembers stores like Tandy, Blockbuster and the many old VHS rental stores that were at one point thriving. Just like those stores are now all but a distant memory, Payphones are lose to suffering the same fate. When is the last time you used a Payphone?

piccadilly-london-red-phone-booth-uk
Still in use: A red phonebox in London, UK

I'm sure you're aware that I'm not just talking about the older red telephone boxes  / booths, but all payphones in general. Almost everyone now owns a mobile phone, whether that be a basic mobile phone like what I use, or a Smartphone.

Add to that, that a big majority of people have phone plans (contracts) which include hundreds of free texts and hundreds of hours of free calls each month, and factor in all the pay as you go people like me who would rather just top up their phone than put money in a phone box, and it's clear to see why there is such a massive decline in the amount of people using telephone boxes.

Of course, some people do still use payphones, so I doubt they will be completely removed from public service any time soon. Emergency situations, convenience if out of credit, people who don't own a mobile phone (Yes they do exist, even in the UK) or those who have expensive cellphone tariffs where its actually cheaper to phone certain numbers from a landline rather than a mobile.

The sad reality: A Phone Booth Graveyard

Why am I writing about this obsolete subject that most of the world has moved on from. I'll tell you why. I had a strange dream that I was in a phonebox. I looked down at the part that holds the money, and the front of the box had been removed, as if someone have tried to steal the contents but either couldn't do it or got disturbed and would come back later and try again.

The inner box that contained the money was still intact and firmly in place. In my dream I managed to pull the money box out of its enclosure and hide in down by my side. In my dream I really wanted this money, and going on the weight of the money box, there was a considerable amount of coins in there.

A woman came to the phonebox and wanted to use it. This made me nervous, so I hid the money box in my jacket and pretended to be talking to someone on the phone. All the time while I was doing this I was thinking of how I could leave the situation with the money box without her asking me, or me telling her that the phone was out of order.

And if I did tell her the phone was broken, would she become suspicious because I was supposedly talking to someone on it just a minute ago. Would she then think it was me who broke the phone and robbed the money. And also, would she report me to the police. This sounds crazy, but that's what I was thinking in the dream. You know how mad and vivid dreams can be. Feelings and emotions seems so real sometimes.

Anyway, that dream made me think about phone booths and how much money they actually take in each month. I could be wrong, but I'd imagine these days British Telecom (BT) are not even earning enough change to cover the persons wages who goes around in the van collecting the money. Yeah, in my dream the money box was heavy, full of coins. I was definitely dreaming then!

Sublingual Cannabis Tablets

While there are already some very effective ways of taking cannabis that don't involve smoking, such as oils, capsules, creams rubbed into the skin, and even eating the stuff, any new method that doesn't involve the dangers of smoking is always worth a mention. Smoking it is most probably the most unhealthy way to get cannabis into the system.

And for people who take / need cannabis for medical reasons, and may have other health conditions to deal with on a daily basis, the healthiest methods are always the safest. It's even in some supplements these days.

That brings me to Sublingual Cannabis Tablets. Currently, there is some talk and research taking place that points to the fact that there is a need for a way to ingest cannabis so it offers faster pain relief. With Sublingual Cannabis Tablets, they are placed under the persons tongue, dissolve in the mouth and go straight into the bloodstream.

weed-cannabis-herbal-hemp-CBD

This translates into the user feeling the effects much quicker. And because its going straight into the bloodstream, it doesn't have to travel the long way through the bodily organs. So the user not only feels the effects quicker, but will also get the most out of each dose.

But, due to the faster delivery, a dose of Sublingual Cannabis Tablets won't last as long. So its great for people who need an almost instant, short term medical "hit" so to speak, but not so good for those who require slower but longer lasting pain relief. Still, it's an interesting topic, and no doubt useful for those who need an extremely fast reacting dose to get rid of pain etc.

Will it be available any time soon? Apparently its all about the money, and the price to produce Sublingual Cannabis Tablets is more than it is to produce other products already out there for sale which are just swallowed (slower to feel the effects) rather than placed under the tongue. But with more testing and research, this might not always be the case. So definitely an interesting topic worth keeping an eye on.

Please note: This post is not talking about the recreational use of cannabis. It's strictly referring to use for medical patients who take legally prescribed cannabis as medicine in order to function. This post is also not promoting any specific product, but merely touching upon a new method of delivery for patients that is currently being tested and has recently hit the headlines. 

Canon IXUS 125 HS Sample Photos

The Canon IXUS 125 and IXUS 127 are basically the same camera. The only difference is where they are sold in the world. So, same point and shoot camera, with a different model number dependant on the country.

Hawthorn-White-Blossom-Sample-Photo

The 127 HS model is, I believe, sold predominantly in Russia and also many European countries. The 125 HS is much more common in the UK. However, I bought my 127 HS on eBay UK, so the original buyer more than likely got it from abroad. Anyway the sample photos, features and video quality are all the same.

Rapeseed-Fields-UK-Canon-Test

Quick Review: Very small in size, battery life isn't that good, video recording is limited to 1GB in file size, or ten minutes total record time (regardless of quality), and the "Full HD" is just that, Full HD. But only does so at 24fps (Frames per second). I've found recording at 720p to be much better and smoother.

Station-Road-Solihull

Especially when using the camera to record car dash cam footage (less blurry in certain areas). Zoom is very loud when used while recording video. When playing back the footage its extremely noticeable. See an example here.

Speak-Eazee-Graffiti

By the sounds of it, the zoom must be motorised in some way. Auto Focus can also be slow when recording video. And sometimes it just doesn't correct itself for a long time.

tiny-pale-blue-flowers-test-photo

It has lots of features, like Fish eye, colour accent, stitching, Super Vivid, Slow Motion (with no sound) etc. All in all, a good little point and shoot camera. Very convenient to carry around due to its super small size.

Basic Mobile Phone With The Best Camera

Is there a basic, non-Smartphone with an excellent quality camera? There are a few old models that I know of, like the Sony Cybershot's. Those used to be able to take pretty good quality pictures back in the day.

But by today's standards they are not really all that great. I don't own a Smartphone. At the moment I'm using a Samsung B2100 (I also have a Samsung E2600). Great phone, just what I need in many ways. Very tough, long battery life, and an excellent torch light. Sadly the camera is only 1.3 mega pixels, so its pretty much useless for taking pin sharp photos.

For this reason, and being someone that is always taking photos of something or other, I carry a camera with me at most times. The size of the camera has gotten smaller over the years, and at this time I'm currently carrying a Canon IXUS 127HS, which is very small.


However, it would be nice to be able to buy a non-Smartphone that was capable of taking the same level of image quality that my point and shoot Canon can take. This way I only need to carry one item around. Making it more convenient. The annoying thing is I don't know of a suitable older mobile phone that has a really good camera.

One suggestion was the Nokia 808 PureView. It has, I believe, a 41 mega pixel camera. Pixel amount isn't everything, but looking at the sample pictures and test video footage online, it appears to be very good. In fact, it''s excellent considering how old the technology is when compared to the iPhone in the video above.

The only problems are that it is very expensive, as in, more expensive to buy than an older but high quality Bridge camera or entry level DSLR (used), and the Nokia 808 PureView isn't exactly a non-Smartphone.

It's basically an earlier model Smartphone that still has many of the features seen in the latest models today. So for me it doesn't really qualify for what I'm looking for, and I wouldn't consider buying it. Shame really. Any suggestions of a non-Smartphone with an excellent camera? Let me know below.

Plagued By Blogspot Spam Comments

Certain posts on this blog seem to be plagued by spam comments. I know a little bit about SEO, online marketing, link building and automated link placement, so I think I know what's going on here. These people use automated software to find blogs and websites that have comments enabled so they can fill them with spam comments. Some do it to try and promote their crap websites that are more than likely in niches that a hard to get links for.

Example: Porn, Gambling, Pharmaceuticals etc. And others are selling the links in a service on forums where you can buy blog comments. So, for example, the "seller" finds 50 blogspot blogs that all have comments enabled. He or she then sells that service to people looking for some comment backlinks for say $10. Usually, but depending on the quality of the comment service, the seller then uses the software to place the comments automatically, most of the time using spun comments that are not relevant to the site / post they are being left on. And most of the time the comments don't really make much sense.

My only confusion with my situation is that my blog has always had comment moderation enabled. None of their spam comments have ever been published here, so you would think they would have given up by now. But no, the comments are still coming in thick and fast every day. Perhaps they are just running the software over and over looking for hits (live links) and my blog link is in there. Once they analyse the results they should see that my blog - Interwire, has not resulted in any links being placed. Then, hopefully, they will remove my blog from their software.

The post getting all the attention is this one. Perhaps its in a niche they are desperate to get links for (CBD oil / CBD infused supplements are very popular at the moment), and that post might sit in a decent position in Google. Who knows, I haven't checked. It's not like I'm trying to make any money from the post, I just wrote about a new product that was coming out. But if any of the BOT users (people running the software) happen to read this post (very unlikely), please take my blog out of your software. You are not going to get any back links from this blog. Don't waste your time.

If they're doing Blogspot wide (scanning all blogs), then I don't think there's much I can do about it except delete the notifications that I have new comments. I could ban IP address, hosts, etc, but I can't be bothered with that. None of the comments will see the light of day anyway, and it only takes few seconds to delete the blogger notification emails. I should add. As all the comments are being sent in by Anonymous users (basically bots), I have now disabled the ability for anyone, including anonymous users, to send comments on this blog. So lets see if that fixes this annoying issue.

Update: Disabling anonymous users to leave comments has totally fixed this issue. This blog now gets zero spam messages. So if your experiencing this issue, just disable the ability for anonymous users to post a comment and that should do the trick. 

Quick Grafter Work Website Review

This is not really an in-depth review, as I haven't used Grafter to the level needed to write a full review. This post is more of a "my experience" so far type of entry. If you're looking for temporary / short term work you may have come across a site called Grafter. If not you might be asking the question:

What is Grafter: It's basically a website where employers and those looking for a few days / weeks work connect. Employers advertise short term work, and if you're registered on Grafter and fit the criteria, you might get selected to "apply" for the job. If you apply and actually get chosen for the position, you do the work and get paid through the Grafter system. Easy!

Well, that's what is meant to happen. Sounds really good. Some quick work, a few days here and there, no long term commitments. But to be honest, I've been a Grafter member for around 2 years now. I have a profile with a picture of myself, that's fairly well written (something you need to fill out in order to be considered for jobs), I've got experience in numerous sectors that are in demand, I also get many new job offers from Grafter which are close to my location, I have my own transport and safety wear, but yet I have never even had so much as one days work from Grafter. Absolutely nothing.

Most of the time I get offers for work, I respond by applying for the job and just don't hear anything back. Other times, some of the jobs offered are a bad match. They're either really far away, or in a job sector that I have not listed on my profile. So technically I should not be getting sent the job because I have set up my account to only be considered for jobs that fall within the job sectors I have experience with, and within a certain distance I'm willing to travel to work from my location.

I can't comment on how reliable they are in terms of getting paid, employers not paying etc, because I've never had any work from them what so ever. I may update this post if I do happen to get any work from Grafter. If I could choose one word to describe Grafter so far it would be: Terrible. I should add, though, I don't think its a full-on scam and that no one at all ever gets work. I'm sure some people have had some work from them.

I just suspect that Grafter could potentially have a lot of fake jobs listed because they are trying to grow their business and increase the amount of people, workers and employers alike, in order to make it look more popular than it is. A fake it till you make it type method. Just my opinion of course. But this is nothing new. Lots of websites and companies do this.

Some do it themselves to help speed up growth (generate more real users) and others are just abused by people (registered members / fake employers) looking for leads / personal details from the people applying to the jobs. Some do both. Which one is Grafter, I don't know. However, this post reminds me a bit of the other post I wrote about the many fake jobs being advertised on Indeed. Anyway if I happen to get any work from Grafter I'll update the blog with my experience.

UK Premium Bonds Now Just £25

Good news. The UK Premium Bonds have recently lowered the minimum amount needed to invest in some bonds from £100 to £25. This makes a lot of sense. Having to spend a minimum of £100 to hold some bonds made most people hesitate a bit.  But £25 is much more affordable. If you work it makes it much more doable to be able to buy just £25 a week, or even £25 per month out of your wage packet. It will soon add up to a decent amount of Premium Bonds.

Some people would have you believe that the bonds are a silly investment because the odds of being one of the lucky few that win a substantial prize every month is in the Billions, yes Billions. And they rightfully crunch all the numbers and start talking percentages and say "You'd earn more in interest by just leaving the money in the bank". In some ways they are correct. But personally, I like to mix things up a bit and put money in a few different places. And so should you.

Look at it this way. If you play the lottery and lose, like most people do these days since they added more numbers, you've lost your money. But if you have some premium bonds and they don't come up, you don't lose your money. It's still sitting there waiting to be entered into next months draw.

OK, you may lose a small percentage if GBP (British Pound) falls in value, but not much at all over a few years going on currency trends. And remember, no matter how big the odds may seem, two people every month win a 1 million pound prize. And several more win £100,000, £50,000, £25,000, £10,000, etc. That's guaranteed. Unlike the UK "National" (Canadian owned) Lottery where it keeps on rolling over.

So to all those people who say "nah, can't win on the bonds, impossible, the odds are too great". Go and say that to one of last months million pound winners, and they'll no doubt say - mate, I won it last month, so its very possible. And don't underestimate a £25 bond either. I check the bond winner results regularly and I always see a few £25 bonds that have landed a win of £5,000+.

But this was before the limit was lowered and these £25 bonds were prize winnings that bond holders opted not to withdraw but to have invested back into more bonds. Exactly the same thing though really. My advice: Buy some, it's worth the risk. What risk? You don't really lose anything! And you can take your money back whenever you want. -Interwire.

eBay Bans Direct Retailer Dropshipping

Bit of a coincidence here as I wrote about my annoyance at recently using eBay to buy a few items and was left disappointed by how many items / sellers where just drop shipping directly from Amazon. Turns out that eBay have now banned direct retailer drop-shipping. This is really bad news for sellers using this method, but its excellent news for buyers. Great news for me!

screenshot


So, does that mean there will be zero direct retailer dropshippers? Absolutely not. There are exceptions to this new rule. If the seller can get some kind of proof from the retailer that they have a direct partnership, and the retailer has given the seller (dropshipper) their consent, then I believe it is allowed. If that can't be provided, and the eBay seller is caught doing direct retail dropshipping, they will be banned.

But how will eBay actually find out?


Well I'm sure that a company with millions of dollars at their disposal will be spending some of their budget on adding some new features that can help detect such behavior. Of course, simple things like adding a suspicious seller "report" button would be very effective. Along with articles educating people what to look out for, such as long delivery times, branded packaging / shipping materials like boxes from Amazon etc.


buyers_feedback


However, I think a good few people will still be doing direct retail drop-shipping, and getting away with it if their careful enough to cover their tracks. There's too much money to be made, so some sellers will take the risk. And if caught they'll just make a new account and start again.


ebay_UK


But with this money making method now being officially banned it will make it harder to get away with, and not everyone will have the knowledge and know-how to do it successfully over a long period of time and remain undetected. Tools will more than likely be needed: Dedicated proxies, the purchasing of eBay and Paypal accounts that are a few years old (warmed up / trusted) etc.

Another Option (At your own risk)


Some companies / product suppliers actually scout for people who have trusted Amazon and eBay accounts that want to make some money by listing their inventory on the account. A percentage is usually agreed beforehand. All the money from the sales is sent back to the product supplier and the person who's account is being used is then sent their cut, which is, a lot of the time a good amount of money. Certainly worth all the bother.

Although the person who's account is being used in this way must be made aware of the potential tax bill coming their way at the end of the tax year because all sales have gone through them. But good companies / product suppliers who do this will sometimes offer cheap accounting services with the working agreement to give some peace of mind to the account owner. My opinion. You're better off just sourcing your own stock and doing things that way.

Bad eBay Dropshipper Experience Update

A week ago or so I wrote about my experience with recently trying to buy something from eBay UK. I was talking about how in 2018 / 2019 there are so many people dropshipping by listing on eBay and ordering from Amazon. Well, I just wanted to give a little update on the amount of negative feedback the "seller" has received in the last month.

In my other post I wrote that the seller had 1222 negative feedback. Now its not far off 2000! Their overall feedback score now sits at 92.8%. I won't reveal the eBay UK seller, but here is a screenshot of their feedback. It's been destroyed and will take a good few thousand positive feedback in order to dilute the account back to a healthy state.

red-bad-feedback

Furthermore, it looks as though the seller completely lied to not only me, but to almost 2000 other people by saying the items had been dispatched when clearly they had not been. I have still not received anything despite the seller claiming the item had been sent twice. I don't know the actual reason as to why this seller totally fell apart and couldn't even manage to make simple orders using other peoples money, perhaps there could have been some kind of personal problem, but this is a classic case of dropshipping gone wrong.

eBay UK Now Dominated By Dropshippers

What the hell has happened to eBay UK? It now has more sellers dropshipping than I've ever seen before. Recently I've been looking to buy a few items from eBay, consisting of a few Christmas presents and a few personal items. From leads and headphones, to books and supplements. And one thing I now see more than ever before is the sheer amount of sellers that are dropshipping.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm no stranger to dropshipping, I know how it works. And truth be told, dropshipping is older than the Internet itself. So I've got no problem with someone making a couple of quid if they are sourcing a product from somewhere for a little bit cheaper and providing a good service at the same time.

However, the annoying, or down right sneaky part of what I keep coming across, is that most sellers are just sourcing everything from Amazon. So all they do is search eBay for popular items, and then find the same item on Amazon and see if its for sale cheaper.

If it is they list the item on eBay, and when someone orders it through them on eBay, they just buy it (with the buyers money) from Amazon and give the Amazon seller the persons name and address and say - deliver it to that address please. If the person doing this is selling quite a few items per day, they usually purchase Amazon Prime to take advantage of certain offers, such as super fast free delivery.

One quick example of a product listed on eBay UK that's now basically dominated by people dropshipping it from Amazon, is Health Aid Halibut Liver Oil Capsules. I wanted to buy a bottle of Halibut Capsules from eBay, and every big seller that has it listed was just ordering it from Amazon. So they don't have any physical stock what so ever. In fact, even many of the Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil listings are very similar. So many of the listing results are just Amazon dropshippers. There's literally around £2 profit in each purchase.

Halibut Capsules UK

Once the transaction is complete the eBay seller (Amazon dropshipper) keeps the price difference (minus fees) as their profit. Under normal circumstances the original buyer would be none the wiser. But with Amazon being such a huge company, and understandably making the decision to put their branding on every box / parcel they deliver, the person who thought they purchased an item from a normal seller on eBay ends up receiving a parcel from Amazon.

While maybe a little confused, most people don't have a problem with this, but some do. And to be honest, I am one of them. I, like some of the others, find it a bit sneaky. It's just, I'm trying to buy something from eBay, and really, most people are unknowingly buying it from Amazon.

If I personally wanted to buy from Amazon I would have just went to their site to begin with. The ironic thing is, I did end up going to Amazon because the eBay seller turned out to be a complete disaster, claiming to have posted the item twice, but nothing ever turned up.

Strange how I'd ordered many items from other sellers before I placed an order from him and they all arrived just fine. Needless to say, this seller was an Amazon dropshipper with a ton of excellent feedback on eBay, but still couldn't manage to place a simple order.

He either didn't place the order at all for reasons that are a mystery to me, or he has used a 10th Class snail-mail postal service that takes the items he sends on an around-the-world tour before reaching my residence. The seller in question has since gone on to receive over 1000 negative feedback for the month of December alone.

Make that 1222 negative feedbacks for December the last time I checked. Seems like no one got their items. I waited for 3 weeks (still not received anything) but did get a refund though. So at least I never lost any money.

Anyway, some of the people doing eBay-to-Amazon drop shipping are making big money. I seen one seller on eBay who actually has over 100,000 items listed on eBay UK, from books to drills (wherever they've found profit to be made), that are all just dropshipped from Amazon.

In fact, over the course of me buying some items, I came across several huge sellers like this who must be making a lot of money. All those £1 - £10 Pounds mount up when you're selling hundreds, or even thousands of items each day / month.
