I have the same issue. Shipping is no longer an easy click. Gotta use a business policy? And I can’t compete the listing in the app due to all the business policy areas! Aaaagggghhhhhh!
Does anyone know if we can roll back the update?

2 others give me deals on stuff they don’t want to deal with. A baggie of vintage pins for $3? Yes please. A box of vintage books? Craft supplies?
Thanks Jay. I didn’t realize it could be that easy
07/06/2020 at 5:10 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 470: How Would You Start Your Business Today? #79164Total items in store 2426
Total listings 1151
Items sold 31
Net sales $840.65
Gross sales $565.28
Highest price sold $50 times 4 new fountain pens. Still have one left
COGS $75I’m down about 30% but that’s ok. I’m grateful for eBay these days.
What I would do differently? I’d take more risks.
I remember my first 4th quarter…I was worried items wouldn’t sell so I’d accept lower offers. Now I’m ok with waiting it out.
I found those fountain pens at a local store and asked if they could go lower on the price and I got them for $10 each. I took that risk asking about a price reduction and buying them but they’ve been selling quick!
I wouldn’t go looking for clothes and shoes to sell unless they are brand new and dirt cheap! I scored about 100 pairs of jeans for $2 a pair. Been slowly selling them off a few pairs a week for 3 months now. But I’ve got older used stuff that’s been sitting for over a year!
And I’d let more people know what I do. I get crazy deals cause I’m the local eBay lady.
Y’all are saying exactly what I’m thinking. I’m going to sit back and wait a bit.
She was clearly trying to pull a fugazi! I remember telling my husband I managed to fit 3 pairs of jeans in a regional a box so I know she got them. Yes that was a proud moment for me haha!
Does the buyer have 60 or 90 days to file a PayPal claim?
I use efferdent tablets in warm water. Let it sit for a few hours. If necessary do it again with a few more tablets.
My husband found a second box of letters! They went to the same buyer as the original lot for a bit more money.
If you see any vintage letters in the wild they can be a gold mine!

I have a local jeweler that tests jewlery for me. He’s bought stuff from me too which is nice.
Are you on managed payments?
I found a box of letters my uncle gave me over 25 years ago. I’d forgotten all about them.
World war 2 sweetheart letters…over 1000 of them. Not in the best condition. I did a 7 day auction and they are over $300 with 2 1/2 days to go! Needless to say I’m beyond excited!!

In my experience, if your listing on the app then eBay will set your items to allow offers in a week or so. If you click it on the website that won’t happen.
Hi Jay!
My husband helps me with sourcing and occasional shipping. He can resize a box like you wouldn’t believe haha
