That’s a good list. Really depends on where she likes scavenging.
Goodwill? Clothes and anything fashion related. Auctions? Jewelry, Little trinkets and vintage antiques. Estate sales? Little trinkets and vintage antiques. Yard sales? Little trinkets and vintage antiques.
The big question is if your friend has the ability to not just buy everything in sight. For sellers with limited storage, it’s about being very selective, well researched, and list things quickly so they sell quickly. Thats a big ask for a new seller when t’s so much fun to just treasure hunt:)
Yeah, this seems like a bad glitch…though it sounds like the system caught and cancelled it.
I’d call eBay, or just let it sift through the system.
Jerry something?
Can you ask the name at the auction you purchased the art from? Is it an oil painting?
As someone who helped build and maintain large websites, why do you think eBay wont let users generate reports that show numbers for a 12-month period. Can their database not handle that kind of pull?
When we sold on Amazon, it was easy to click through our sales/expenses over long periods of time.
Nice,thanks!
Yes. And Yes.
If he’s allowed to open a case, he can do it. Otherwise, you have no obligation to accept a return after 35 days.
It looks delicious
We got our Paypal 1099 for our 2020 taxes.
Do we know if or how eBay will send a 1099 for Managed Payments? Anyone get one yet? Or can it be downloaded?
Yeah, like I said, the vaccine roll out is going to be county by county.
Says that HEIC started with iPhone 11. It’s obviously happening with people. Our helper had this issue on her new iPhone. we just had to show her how to change the default file format.
Once you own 100% of your time, lots of opportunities pop up. We would have had 0% of our freelance video work if we hadnt created the flexibility to take on those jobs.
Not sure what you do in IT, but it can be good money. Instead of working for someone full-time, you cld do freelance work which can pay better (but no benefits). We keep our foot in our “career jobs” as video producers. A couple freelance jobs a year is nice money. We put a lot of time into training, so why lose out?
I can’t decide if I want to take the leap or not because we want to move here in a couple of years and I’m wondering if I’ll have a hard time getting a mortgage without a W2 job? We’ve got some equity in our house so maybe I’m being overly cautious. Any of you scavengers get a mortgage with just your eBay income?
Banks don’t like inconsistent income. Just a fact. Otherwise they want to see cash or assets. I will say that now that we have consistent eBay income for a decade, our bank sees us as a stable business.
I always recommend “getting a banker”. We live in a small town and it’s very nice having a relationship with a younger guy who works at a small bank who talks us through stuff. He also gets to know our finances so is willing to take chances on us that a big, anonymous bank wouldn’t.
Understood. I assume you’re in Alberta? I do see farm and tool lots at auctions, but its usually home based stuff. There’s the “tool guys” who pay up for the good stuff.
I think we’re in the region where there’s old money and lots of home goods from the past couple centuries. If you want Civil War stuff, come to my area.
Yeah, it worries me to see that there are now more contagious strains hitting the US. It’s like a movie that just keeps getting worse.
In our county of 20,000 people, we had a vaccination day on Friday where they put shots in the arm of over 2000 people (over 65). 500 people were from outside the county, but I think it shows that the vaccine roll out will depend on how organized your local area is.
I’ll be interested to see how the new listing flow rollout goes. Those new feature rollouts generally don’t go very slowly. At my old company, we talked about that kind of change as “changing the engine while the plane is in flight”. Most tech companies have one team that works on the iphone app (or a piece of the app), another team that works on the android app (or a piece of the app) and other teams that works on pieces of website. Jay shouldn’t expect all the pages of the website to magical get updated. There are probably loads of pages that aren’t owned by any team and will rarely get touched.
I knew you would be the best person here to understand what eBay is going through. Having worked on software projects (much much smaller), I understand it’s a big task to be replacing things as people are using it. But eBay is a multi-billion dollar company, so it’s not as if the don’t have the resources to hire who they need.
