calljac86,
With selling high end clothing, I was just wondering what your experience has been with returns, NADs and items coming back because the buyer “rented” them from you and wants their full money back eventhough they show obvious wear.
Edward,
Another SL member (MDC Galleries) specializes in art. He may be able to provide you with specifics regarding shipping your piece, but until then, you may want to look at some of his previous posts regarding art – https://www.scavengerlife.com/forums/users/huncrelan/. If I recall correctly, he has provided some insight on shipping art.
I think it is a small decorative vase for fake flowers or possible one flower with babies breathe or something to that effect.
Great question. If it is not your total shipped sales or the out of the total number of items in your store, ask ebay how that number was calculated.
This is a Not As Described return, so the seller has to assume the cost of return. You can then fight it once the box comes back. I am sure this is very frustrating for you, but I would offer that if your listing was accurate and you sent what you said was going to be sent, accept the return (which means paying for the return label), and then call ebay once it arrives and calmly and professionally review the matter of getting back the return shipping cost. I would offer that the longer you drag this out, the less time you have for other important things in your life.
Ferengi,
Even though they drop off after 3 months, since they are still there, it might be beneficial to call ebay and have them review your status. If deemed appropriate, they can reinstate your TRS status.
mprw77,
I would offer that the goal is to set your daughter up for success so she learns what SHE CAN DO as well as what it means to perform at a level of quality. Future bosses are not only going to want quantity at what ever she does but the abiility to do quality work, pay attention to details, follow through on tasks and instrutions, and even the ability to put in the time needed to get a job done.These are all skiills she can learn from you but in an environment in which it is safe to make mistakes, ask for help, and even say, “I don’t know”.
I would offer that you identify 3 to 4 things that she can do for every hat in order to earn 5 dollars a hat. Maybe she has to help group and organize, inspect them with you for any flaws, clean them, and maybe even take some pictures. I would offer that you let her know that feedback will be a part of the process and then show her each one she did right and identify how to improve on other ones. I would offer that after she has shown her ability to complete the 3 or 4 things consistantly that she be given more responsibility such as writing descriptions for you on a sheet of paper that include any flaws that each hat may have.
I think this will be a very memorable experience for her and when she is at her future job and is getting commodations, she will find herself saying “My dad taught me……”
Did the buyers ever pay on the unpaid item cases?
When you call ebay,
1. Have the item id number ready to share – it is on the right side of the description box in the listing
2. Speak with them in “bulletpoints” – just the key points and not the “story”.
3. Stay factual, calm, focused, and professional.
4. If you hear something that doesn’t make sense or does not fit with the situation, either ask to speak with a supervisor or hang up and call back.-

I would agree to pay her by hat and not by hour and then put it into a savings/allowance account for her which can be used when she asks to buy something. I do not know how and if such monies are taxed. Putting money aside for her to use on things she wants to buy (beyond the basics of being a teenager) would be a good way for her to practice working for money, budgeting, spending only what she has the cash for, identifying whether it is a need or want before buying something, completing a project, and following directions. In my opinion, the earlier we teach kids about the importance of only paying for something if you can afford it (because you actually have the cash for it), the earlier we can instill a strong understanding of money, saving, thinking ahead, working within a budget etc. which can help them avoid the cycle of debt so many adults deal with on a daily basis.
Yes.
I called ebay a few days back and they said it is a known problem (regardless of browser) that is being worked on internally. Try backing out of the listing and then going back in. This trick works sometimes.Yes, research is key. Congratulations on having all of your hardwork pay off. Onwards and upwards!
BigSally,
Thanks for sharing. Looks like you are off to a really good start with some cool items. Best Wishes as you move forward as a seller.shayward23,
Congrats on your success and progress. What do you sell that has such a high turn over rate, if you don’t mind sharing?-

I just typed in action figure bust and the pictures/listings that came up are worse than they were yesterday when I typed bust/action figures. They apparently are in the same category as Superman and StarWars busts. I already reported this yesterday and would be willing to do it again if that is what is needed. I know ebay has an age use of 13, but those who are 13 through 18 do not need to see such content. The content is more than sexual in nature.
