This has happened to us before. I assume eBay quickly new it was a buyer using stolen credit cards or something.
Yes, Ryanne does most shipping on Pirate Ship. That 6x points for shipping is essential.
I’m still paying every expense I have with the exception of my house payment purely with ebay profits.
It’s always been so important for us to see our eBay profits paying for concrete expenses we have. This is the motivation that has kept us going for years. Like you, eBay profits have paid for all our basic expenses.
Even today, we put all our daily costs on our AMEX credit card (thanks to your tip) and then pay it off each week with the eBay payout. The AMEX card gives us free hotel stays which we now use when we travel. It’s a virtuous cycle.
Whoops. Let me see if I can change it. Thanks.
Edit: I change the title. But forum title seems locked. Hopefully its clear enough. Dont get me to run your website 🙂
I’m loving your stories about the free finds in the garbage. Those are our favorites.
You ust have to do a little research to see how what parts are valuable. Helpful if you put the part number on the listing.
I have to hold Ryanne back from starting a used appliance part store. Buy broken appliances and part them out. This could be a whole other life to live.
That’s more than I would expect, but I think you sell a lot of electronics? Maybe that’s a problematic category?
Its definitely a tricky situation when you have a bad actor taking advantage of the system.
Has this ever happened to you before? I’ve heard about the scam but its never happened to us.
I’ve sold over 1,000 cards (and counting) this week
whoah! Are most sales multiple cards? Or lots of single cards as well?
Black Friday has never been a good sales day for us on eBay. I think Black Friday is really “buy new electronics” day. But supposedly sales were bad all around this year. Americans have learned most BF deals are just scams.
We always shop for turkeys AFTER thanksgiving. Usually buy several of them for our freezer since you can find good deals.
This mural is on our new building in Harrisonburg VA which is a college town (about 30 miles from our home in Luray). We partnered with a local artist: https://www.instagram.com/timskirven
Definitely a big investment for us, but as you can see in the photo, beautiful artwork attracts the college kids.
There is a lot of chatter on Youtube about people calling in to Ebay to “reset their stores”.
Is this a real thing? Can you call eBay to reset your store?
I scavenged four pairs of Lucchese cowboy boots on Halloween and listed that day. They were free on side of road.
This is insane! What are people thinking. I would be high off that scavenged find for a week.
