Hermes is the cheap shipping option in the UK. I did see a delivery driver taking a photo of a house yesterday- so that’s what that was about. These Hermes drivers are like Uber- self-employed drivers with a car loaded with parcels.
Once it’s gone from the GSP hub it’s not the seller’s problem. I had a buyer from Finland grouching about something that hadn’t turned up, and I just couldn’t get ’em to understand that they should contact eBay, not me. Eventually it arrived,
A fellow eBayer is selling parts of an Art Deco dinner service; they got a couple of offers from someone in New Zealand, even though the items were marked pickup only. Would-be buyer got mardy (“I’m not living in a Third World Country you know”) when it was pointed out that the crockery would be difficult and expensive to post. GSP might have been good for that; “plates got broken after they left the GSP hub” <cough> 🙂
I did hear that once managed payments is fully in place, buyers will be able to pay with beads, cattle, and those stone coins they use on Yap.
Is that 55 cents a ‘printed paper’ or ‘letter’ rate, intended for paper enclosures only? Otherwise just send it as a letter.
Hi Daysi. Probably Standard 8mm format, though it could be 16mm, if it’s got the sprocket holes both sides of the image. I sold a Double 8mm camera and film last week, and I found the Wikipedia articles to be a bit confusing! Check if there’s an optical soundtrack on the film.
11/20/2020 at 12:22 am in reply to: Listing Photos Reverting To Original Pre-Edited Condition & More. #83581When I downloaded photos from my eBay listings I found them to be resized to 1,600 pixels from the uploaded larger size. So now I resize before uploading, and crop to square, even if most of the image ends up as white.

Hi Steve- the doubt I have is that this is stainless steel. I’m kinda assuming it’s like the steel in a saucepan lid, also that it’s made from two pieces welded or soldered together, and that it’s two or three inches across. That’s three assumptions! 🙂
He’s “working from home” like the rest of us. 😉
Thrift shop I volunteered at was closed for the first lockdown, then upper management decided it wasn’t earning enough so the shop’s closed permanently after over 40 years. That was back in the first week of September, and they were just in the process of clearing out four decades of accumulated junk when the second national lockdown was declared.
That technique of pricing high and waiting for someone to come along and make an offer doesn’t work when you’re running a shop and you don’t take offers! Annual net profit was circa £16 K, which paid two-thirds of a graphic designer’s salary back at head office. This from a shop with (estimated) 5,000 square feet of selling space plus two floors of offices.
Think you’d have to use a large press to form a shallow bowl out of a piece of stainless steel plate. My guess is that it was made in an industrial workshop out of two pieces of scrap steel and soldered together- I think welding would require too much finishing on the outside.
Well, apologies for mentioning politics, but I gather the UK has already left the EU. The final severance happens on January 1st, when the UK leaves the customs union. What’s not been solved is the border question between Ireland and Northern Ireland. There’s got to be a customs border, but it can’t be between the two nor between Northern Ireland and Britain. The first because it would be explosive (literally), the second because it’ll introduce an internal customs border.
In other news, the Prime Minister’s sacked his chief adviser for calling the PM’s fiancé “Princess Nut Nuts”. 🙂
Just been for a Sunday afternoon walk, between the rain showers. Long queues outside coffee shops.
There’s a painting, the Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke, where everybody’s waiting for the nut to be cracked and the spell to be broken. That’s what it feels like here.
There’s a photo of Harry on the web, from 1994 before he got promoted to Captain. He’s wearing a shirt.
Interest on overdrafts is very low at the moment; 9 pence a day on a £100 here. Plus the banks are waiving interest on overdrafts up to £500 if you ask.
Maybe eBay will use the database for training neural networks.
The other big factor could simply be Ebay seeing the goldmine data wise that 2 decades of exact purchases records with dates, names, prices, catagorization, etc. is.
There’ll be a few months worth of Beanie Baby “values” in there. 🙂 And this year’s sales of Swiss cheese plants and rare begonias.
Is your cheese plant worth a small fortune?
