UPDATE: apparently, i’ve been opted out of ebay payments, without any notice.
update: i had to input my SSN because without it, my past and current payments continue to be on hold. had a chat with another rep and was told my opt out request from last thursday, is being reviewed and a decision will be made. i asked, “what decision? i’m unhappy with the service, i want out”, to which they replied, “Opting out is something that we do not suggest and we want to make sure that we do what is right for your account.”
wth ominous AND ‘right for MY account’?
i was told there were no plans for shipping coming out of ebay payments, which doesn’t make any sense.
1. i don’t remember the last time i had an overage. i essentially prepack everything while i’m listing so i know the exact dimensions and weight.
2. if a customer came at me with overage, i’d give them the overage. then block em.
3. i’ve never looked for cheaper rates.
how about up and down?
“sales were down.”
“sales were up.”also, when you ship smartpost, your postal carrier picks it up instead of dropping it off at fedex? maybe that’s the difference in prices? maybe the longer it stays in fedex’s hands, the price goes up?also, if your postal carrier takes smartpost, do you track it? and if you track it, does it stay in USPS hands or does it flip flop between FedEx? idk.
it’s usually no more than a month (if i have it, i eat it). if you want it to pickle a bit faster, just leave it out.
so, i was gonna recommend kimchi fried rice but i know you two go for lower carb options, so that might not be the best option. kimchi stew is my go to low carb option. main ingredients are kimchi and chunks of pork belly. get some honey in there, with green onions and bang! delicious town. also, i only cook with kimchi that’s been sitting for a while and has pickled itself into kind of a mush with all the deliciousness at the bottom of the jar. fresher kimchi doesn’t provide as much flavor when cooked, imo. but honestly, well made kimchi is bomb with everything. it’s good grilled too.
at my part time retail job, after taxes etc, it takes 10 days to make $500. last month, with my two ebay stores, my net was $440.
so, when you’re making your kimchi and want to substitute the sugar, use fuji apples and/or korean pears. i use both by pulping it and throwing it in with the rest of the “sauce”. also, leave room in the jar for expansion, and put the jar in the sink or something to catch the pickling juice. aaaand, it’s gonna smell like farts.
i’ve done this as well, especially, for international orders. i also look up these addresses and check out the surrounding area to see if it would be cool to live there or travel to. it also helps to see street view and see if it would be a good idea to provide insurance or not, if the customer has bought a high priced item.
