New today from Ebay:
Do I need to update the shipping service in my listings and business policies?
In most cases, yes. Listings with the following USPS services will need to be updated to select USPS Ground Advantage
- First-Class Package Service
- Retail Ground
- Parcel Select Ground if offered in addition to First-Class Package Service and/or Retail Ground
These changes can be applied starting July 9. We recommend that you make these updates as soon as possible in order to keep your shipping information up-to-date for buyers.
I did get an email confirmation that they received the paperwork I was blocked from submitting online. Hopefully they will pay since it was already showing approved but needing that paperwork.
UPS Claims Processing Center PO Box 1977 Scranton, PA 18501
It’s interesting because they are done in color, unlike most of his available works. But also they are mounted on particle board, so dunno? the value.
I will post the address for sure if it actually works. I have only had a handful of claims with USPS before over the years and I had no problems at all there getting my claims paid, and quickly. They were all $60 or less though.

Number of items listed this week: 37Happy for you R&J. I know that would have been a splurge getaway in the old days unless you were cat sitting or out scavenging in the area. Glad you had a fun birthday celebration. Thanks for all you do on the Forum.
Thankfully, sales were better this week. I did the old sell similar trick on pre-2023 listings and got to make over 20 offers in the next day or two. We have a lot of big kid related expenses so I’m hoping sales continue to be like this for the next few weeks.
I made it this week to over 700 listings for the first time! I’m feeling really good about digging into the piles these days. I created listings for a whole box of really random stuff yesterday and just need to take pictures and clean them up today. I think I mentioned elsewhere that I have a huge garage wall full of shelves I’m working on. One side is all listed now and the other side is turning into listed items vs. unlisted. So I can physically see my progress. Also once things are listed they can be better organized and packed, so take up less space to some degree. I have a few more boxes on the floor that don’t fit so I hope to clear those out in the next couple of weeks.
I didn’t go thrifting at all but did go to a lousy church sale and a few garage sales. One estate sale was ending and they gave me free shorter plastic bins that I can stack on the bankers boxes. I mostly actually bought storage items as I plan on reorganizing a bit soon.
Have a great week everyone!
There were a bunch of people complaining about service on their Facebook page so I chimed in and messaged. The agent gave me a fax number that didn’t work and an address. I sent it by snail mail and will return to post the address here if it works.
Retro I hardy ever get out to garage sales but I did and found them to be disappointing as well. I also went to the smallest and most disappointing church sale I’ve been to before. Still always fun to look.
This week from the piles I found 4 of these unusual art prints on particle board. I should have bought all 8 of them but the others had more nudity and I didn’t want a problem from Ebay. The artist is known, and famous for doing the children’s book Corduroy. These were done at the end of his life when he retired here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235052844565 https://www.ebay.com/itm/334914832257 I had no comps at all. We’ll see what happens.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/235051397363 This was my favorite sale this week. I bought it for a buck at a garage sale. Again, I love the vintage nautical stuff.
I listed 36 items, all from my piles. I worked on full box of M A Hadley dishes, a box of meh coffee mugs that just needed photos, and some Pyrex. I find that I enjoy listing the art, now that I give myself permission to give up after 10 minutes on finding out if the artist is famous or not. Still avoiding the fabric and I didn’t list the armpit item. I’m not so great with the mini challenges.
There are still boxes on the floor to list from at this point so I hope to reach that goal in a week or two. Happily though the right side is starting to be replaced by listed instead of unlisted inventory. The left side is all listed so I’m physically seeing progress now on the piles.
I also went to a few garage sales, an ending estate sale, and a really disappointing church sale. Nice to go out but hardly bought anything. Ended up getting some storage bins for free or cheap that will fit on top of the bankers boxes on my built in garage shelves. Later on I will do some reorganizing of the unlisted stuff.
Good luck with kitty Julie.
Well I guess I’m glad it’s not just me, thanks. I’m not the type to give up on this but I’m literally blocked from contacting them.
I missed the armpit challenge. I had a curb pick up that is two large midcentury art panels with fragile pieces. I’ll work on that one this week.
Agree. It just spoke to me. With this item and another recent one I initially thought they might be unique but found them on Google lens while listing and they are not that rare. Still both sold in a few weeks on the higher pricing end of solds, so I’m happy.

Number of items listed this week: 38Right there with you selling unremarkable lower dollar items but grateful they sold. I’ve been digging into my piles and finding some cool things (Midcentury artwork) but then did a box of random coffee mugs (bought in 2014!) that I either decided to keep at garage sale time or missed :(. I kept thinking of what my picker friend said about this stuff not being worth my time. But, I already culled a bunch of the piles and it is nice to just grab a box of junk and finish it off. It’s not as satisfying as it once was because I feel like I used to get a more immediate payoff of sales once I got cooking with listing. This is kind of strange because with Terapeak and best offer I should be pricing more accurately than I was back then.
I hope it’s a decent week for all. Have fun birthdays R&J!
I listed 38 items and have more that just need pictures. Yeah!
Good for you Amatino! I hope you enjoy working in your newly organized space.
As I get into listing the piles I am able to consolidate a bit and soon everything will be off the floor of the garage and fitting onto the shelves. I’m excited about reaching that goal.
Pretty excited about these items I thrifted last week. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235040346524 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/334901951987 These fish plates are highly collectible.
