Wow! That’s a week we want to have.
You really live in a beautiful part of then country. Are you having any issues with your new found freedom? Not having to wake up and go to work?
It’s heartens me that you had a good week. I have a feeling that yard sale season is going to be nuts this year.

Maybe just add the “skull” symbol in the title. Universal
Greg! Thanks for sharing the link and the show suggestion. We’ll check Amazon Prime.

–will single entry bookkeeping work if we have multiple businesses with their own profit/expenses?
–Does quicken automatically sync to bank accounts, credit cards, etc and help us organize the costs?

05/23/2021 at 9:22 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 514: It’s Not About Ebay, It’s About Scavenging #88816Those of us that have been selling on eBay for a while have been through these ups and downs. I’m assuming people are tired on buying online and getting out into the world.
We know all too well the issues with building zoning and inspections. We hope the city gives you the permission you need to sell there.
Glad you enjoy the coffee. We make it with love 🙂

05/21/2021 at 9:08 am in reply to: eBay phasing out “Require Immediate Payment” for Managed Payments? #88804I think eBay is dropping both “require immediate payment” and “no immediate payment required” in favor of eBay managed payments.
As you said, Managed Payments still has immediate payment once the buyer purchases. I cant imagine why eBay would wave immediate payment. I’ve seen/heard no such news.

This happened more when we first started selling in 2008. I think its the remnants of the true eBay originals when they would mail cash and check to get the item.
An old film reel falls into the category I’d expect this kind of buyer to be in. If it was an expensive iPhone, I’d be very suspect.
So we’d let the buyer purchase, then they mail the money order (not a personal check). We deposit it, wait for it to clear and we feel comfortable its not a scam, and then ship. Never had an issue in the 20times we’ve done it over the past 14 years.
I agree. If a service is free, Im suspect. Wave has paid services so I think they’re strategy is to offer the bookkeeping free hoping you’ll pay for credit card services and payroll for your business.
Plus, Wave isnt perfect. One of our bank accounts stopped syncing recently. Trying to figure it out.
We’re thinking of using Quickbooks since we just starting using it for our cafe. Definitely not free, but well supported.
Other option is https://easyauctionstracker.com/ebay-spreadsheet-trial/ But we’re on macs so not sure if this wold work in Google Sheets.
Trust your gut. You’re in control of your store and can sell to whoever you want.
