I’ve received a couple invitations recently (snail mail) to join Jet.com which is now owned by Walmart.
Both Jet and WMP are platforms to sell products not already offered at Walmart or Walmart.com. Large quantity items. One-off sellers or items purchased from thrift stores, garage sale and estate sales and such, need not apply.
Also, as a seller, I believe you have 30 days to close the case. The 5th day is the earliest. However, if you’re concerned about the defect rate or disqualifying as a TRS, you need to close the case before the 20th of the month, a sellers evaluation date.
Cancellation of the transaction is under the Resolution Center… The above is true as well as you need to be sure to close the case after 5 days if the buyer hasn’t accepted your cancellation. Otherwise it will be marked against your as a defect and you are only allowed 5 before it becomes an issue
To append to my earlier comments, I still prefer doming them manual for reasons discussed. But it’s not like I spend anytime on them. I do the feedback’s in bulk and I can do as many as 200 at a time (never happened. Just due to how I have my screen setup). I use the same saved feedback text for everyone. As sellers, I think giving feedback are a waist of time, although it does benefit the buyer. I to watch and react closely to the feedback’s I receive from buyers, but I also pay close attention to the detailed seller ratings. Not much I can do after the fact, but it does remind me to focus on those areas better if I feel the lagging ratings are justified.
What do you call an item that a Scavenger can’t sell… An investment.
I’m here til Friday. Thank you very much.
Hope this image shows
No. It’s a PayPal account so you open it with them… Look down about a 1/4 of the page.
Yeah, I have a sale that I’m holding off on giving a feedback because I really pissed the buyer off and I need to keep my powder dry and use my leverage if leaves me a negative.
Due to the nature of some things I was selling, a buyer contacted me and asked I would do a private listing on 3 items he wanted to buy. He didn’t ask for a discount. I agreed. Ended the listings and relisted as private. Well, be bought and paid for one and contact me that he would be back in the morning to purchase the remaining 2 items and BTW, could I ship them with the first package at no additional shipping cost. WHAT? Normally I give a pass to newbees to eBay and work through the process, but this guy had over 870 feedbacks so he knew how the system worked. I obviously responded to the negative that I couldn’t do it. He came back with an angry spirited message. I didn’t respond. I waited the last day of my handling time on the first package to ship it out in the event he purchased the other 2 items. He didn’t. So before he could have remorse, I ended the private listings and relisted as normal.
BAZINGA!
Suitable for low $ transactions. Fee is 5% + $0.05 compared to 2.9% + $0.30. I believe the breakeven is somewhere between $11/$12. I use it whenever I can.
If it is just the two of you, I would calculated the withholding’s out on paper or spreadsheet. TurboTax Business does a good job in creating W2’s if you’re already using it. There are plenty of FREE MS Word and Excel templates out there.
I would not recommend a single year paycheck. At a minimum a quarterly. This will coincide with the 940 and 941 notices. Consistency and regular pay is key, especially if you’re both officers. Depending on gross sales, a sure red flag to examine distributions is irregular pay.
As Ryanne mentioned, not sure why their doing this. eBay now requires scan and delivery confirmation as well.
I believe auto feedback is available only for Premium and Anchor subscriptions. Unless you pay for the upgrade to Selling Manager Pro (I think at $15/month)
When eBay first instituted the requirement of adding tracking numbers, a common hack was to use the free tracking slips from the USPS (green slips). They have all unique #’s. This way you could ship at a lower cost but upload valid tracking information. I don’t know how this would work now that eBay is using USPS feeds for validating dates for shipping, scanning and delivery. I’m sure if it’s a common occurrence for this seller, their late shipping rate has to be through the roof.
I’m with you Amatino, we do them manually and generally the last task of the day after the items are shipped. I take the stance that the buyer fulfils their obligation by paying for the item in a timely manner. For that we leave a feedback. If a case is opened for non-payment and they eventually pay, we do not leave a feedback.
Also if we feel an uneasiness about a transaction we will hold off on giving feedback until we’re satisfied that the buyer is completely happy. I read many of other’s sellers that have received negative feedbacks and have been able to respond to the buyer’s comment. I don’t know if giving a feedback precludes a selling responding to negative feedback from a buyer. We have been fortunate so far not to have been in this situation.
We thought about setting it to auto feedback but that kind flies in the face of eBay’s policy against quid pro quo as it pertains to leaving feedbacks.
I just checked one of my GSP sales and it does not include the shipping buyer paid to their location. So there is no PP fee charged to the seller. For example, I recently paid under $4 for shipping to KY, however, the buyer also paid almost $18 from KY to Spain. The $4 is included in the PP transaction. Not the $18.
