This is not a cryptocurrency in anything but name only.
“But look a little closer and you soon realise that Libra coin isn’t really a cryptocurrency at all, and that the “Libra Blockchain” — which is, notably, always written with a capital “B” — isn’t really a blockchain.
What’s more, it isn’t at all clear why you would possibly need a blockchain, or anything calling itself a “cryptocurrency”. Given that Facebook simply appears to be trying to build a global pseudo-banking and payments network, there doesn’t appear to be any good reason why you would want to do this using blockchain tokens, which as the authors point out themselves in the documents, have so far proven volatile and difficult to scale”

I honestly had the strangest week. 7 days ago I got my first neg last Sunday. Thank you all for chatting with me, it did help with the anxiety.
It is Sat eve and I’ve sold possibly my biggest week since just before Christmas. The neg is now half way down the page and my most recent feedback is pro wall building US political statement. Never ever had a political placard put on my feedback before. ( I am in Canada – so yeah or boo Trudeau might make sense but not Trump and walls).
I’ve had no return request on the neg – and no correspondence. So I’m thinking a neg is better than an INAD. SO maybe I wait a bit and ask again at 30 days.
Just bizarre week.

Actually when I was getting the info on Inkfrog – it was mainly current. So the lag wasn’t there. I am a small seller and knowing ebay is alive – eg things are being looked at, tells me that sales are working or what items are being visited. I can then understand if I dealing with an item that has been revisited ( eg great interest) and from where. So I can tell if someone from say Virigina has been looking at same shirt for a total of x seconds. So that helps with best offers.
It shows me when ebay is asleep and if its alive even though sales seem slow. So that bit is psychological. But when negativity runs supreme it encourages me.
I like the currentness of the data particularly. So I’d like to know if any one has used Terapeak My Sales ( which also allows for Amazon info ).
Well first of all thank you for being so nice to me. I clearly came to the right spot.
I was trying to upload the image of the feedback but couldn’t figure how so I’ve just typed it out.
The item was used shoes. They were really quite nice and I sell a lot of both new and used items that are the better brands ( at least medium up brands). Buyer did not communicate, nor ask to return.
Ebay agent told me my listing was good and that the pictures were good. ( Full bottom shoes and and instep pic to show brand)
Feedback says: No description of faulty soles. This could not be seen in photos.
Reply: Used Shoes full pics of soles at 10 & 12. Please Contact Me. Happy to take return.
Call out to see soles in listing
Preowned
Light wear
Very good condition please see soles
Used, in very good condition.
I have had a number of returns that didn’t go through eBay’s system. I already have an unhappy customer why would I want to tick them off further. If the item is at your door already and they didn’t respond to messaging.
Think Karma will be my friend and just issue the refund minus postage.
Well you learn something everyday. Been using good old tap water – but has been working to-date.
Love the way the steamer just freshens up clothes; Whether they are new or preowned.
I’ve been using InkFrog for about two years. I prefer it to listing on ebay because I like to keep my history. I resuse old listings as starters – but never know when I will need them again. I also start multiple listings and batch set them up, then batch add pictures then finish as I have time. I can also access it from different computers / locations as it is on the web.
I also like that it is not on my laptop. I did download the SixBIt sample program but my Windows 10 laptop hated it and I wasted an immense amount of time – not getting it to work correctly. What worried me is the potential for it to fry on my laptop ( I’m not good about backing up).
Inkfrog is fairly cheap about 14.99 a month I think right now – but its going up when they transfer people over from classic to their new Open platform.
Anyway… I think its worth my money.
I can only speak for my own experiment on Bonanza, over a year I sold 6 things. Now that may sound like gravey but of the 6 – 2 ended up being cancellations and 1 a return.
I did take out the most minimal membership for two months Nov and Dec. that was when I go the 2 cancellations and the return.
Even if the process was easy I could maybe say well a few orders is better than none. Except the process to do a cancellation requires you to download a pdf of your refund on Paypal. Then upload it to Bonanza. Then wait for them to approve it so you get your fees back.
It is also a buried link / process. So the time wasted is incredible.
So I cancelled Bonanza around Xmas and won’t be going back.
I do send a note letting people know their item is on the way. I think now I will add a small line about upgrading their shipping, when that is the case.
I tend to sell similar things or at least a lot of a type of an item, which means I use a template. Some items are more valuable and the weight varies by ounces but sometimes insurance is more important than cost eg. when item is over 100.00 I like the security that priority offers.
However it had totally escaped me that perhaps I should call the upgrades out.
Truthfully I rarely weigh anything anymore in advance. I price to market of cost plus ship. So the total is the total and then I work backwards to see what other sellers charge for shipping etc. As long as I am not too far off on average I just go with what seems reasonable as far as shipping costs.
