Well, this week has been eventful. We had our YouTube channel cancelled, but then suddenly revived the very next day (why? who knows!) Our eBay store has had pretty slow sales, but that’s life. We just took the Amtrak up to NYC where we’ll be here for two weeks on an urban vacation, hanging out with friends, scavenging in the trash and listing winter coats in our spare time. We love this scavenger life because of the infinite flexibility. When things are slow, we know when to recharge.
In this episode, we discuss these links:
- eBay said we weren’t uploading tracking on our packages. After we called it was resolved, but you should check your Seller Performance
to make sure your percentage looks right. eBay said it was a glitch.
- Amazon is inserting itself into some actual Post Office buildings.
- Amazon made a site that promotes products that people designed and made themselves )think all the items you see funded on Kickstarter).
- Anna sent us this link that says eBay will continue to use Paypal as the primary payment system for the next five years. That’s a long time in the internet world.
- Every seller probably got spammed by eBay with with new Promoted Listing Program
. Basically you pay to have certain categories advertised?
- The Frugalwoods kids were featured in this financial story about their early retirement goal. Oh those kooky millennials.
- The second Seattle Scavenger meetup (hosted by Dan) is happening Wednesday August 19th, 6:30 – 8:00 PM at the Denny’s at 2903 Pacific Ave, Everett, WA. Call or eMail Dan at woodenboatdan@gmail.com or 425 319-7800 to RSVP or ask questions.
- Need a vacation? Rent our Farmhouse our we keep talking about (we give Trash Elf discounts). Fall is coming and that’s when the leaf peeping is the craziest.
