I sold a couple bottles of Tom’s of Maine natural deodorant and after the buyer received it they sent me this message: “No expiration date stamp bottom of vials how come ? This does not look legitimate ,all of these items should be stamped at bottom with expiration date .”
Before I could respond to that message, a few minutes later the buyer sent this message: “Hi why is there no expiration date on bottom ?
Are these real??”This was an RA flip: I bought the deodorant from a local retailer at a very low price and resold it on eBay at a nice profit.
It never occurred to me to look for an expiration date. My deodorant doesn’t have an expiration date. I checked the FDA website and found out an expiration date is not required on deodorant.
I sent the buyer this response: “Yes, they are real.
The FDA does not require expiration dates on deodorant.”Minutes later, this negative feedback shows up: “There is no expiration date on bottles are these fakes”
I offer free shipping and free returns, but the buyer never even asked for a return or refund. Do I click on “Report this buyer?” They wrote it as a question (without a ?), so I wonder if eBay will say they aren’t actually accusing me of selling a fake product.
I have one other negative in the past 12 months from another buyer who didn’t like some wooden bowls the bought, but also never asked for
Do I report them, or just respond to the feedback? Or what?
Every “private label” item I’ve seen an Amazon person sell has just been some cheap product from China with some made-up brand on it.
Like a set of plastic kitchen utensils. https://www.amazon.com/Miusco-Non-Stick-Silicone-Cooking-Utensils/dp/B08DKFJK3H/ref=sr_1_24
If you look up “Miusco”, it brings up: https://www.miusco.com/pages/about-us
Just a guy who has a handful of items made in China with his brand name. I always wonder how much net profit someone like this makes. Is it as easy as just buying from a factory and having it sent directly to amazon to be fulfilled by Amazon?
Or maybe I’ll just make a chilidog for dinner. Keep it simple

Good to see you keep at it. Slow and steady wins the race.
No judgement. I see people who have a lot of kids really loving the whole family vibe. I can see how a big family is something truly incredible to build and will keep paying dividends for years to come as your kids get older and start sharing their life experiences with you.
On the other hand, as two people who stress each week learning to just manage our own small lives, I find it mind boggling to allow the chance to have a new dependent person enter your lives every three years. That would very much stress me out!
This is very interesting to hear. I feel its important for scavengers to share how owning their time allows them to do things that are relaxing, fun, constructive etc. Too often (and we’re guilty), we worship at the alter of work work work.
We also really value and love the ability to take breaks whenever we want.
Its an interesting market to consider. Would need to research more. I know Ryanne purchased some once to put in her smoothies.
Do you guys have a number of kids you want? Or just roll the dice and see what nature brings?
“So what did I learn? Simple: more items for sale = more sales. I just need to keep my nose to the grind stone and get stuff listed.”
–Yep, this is the way. (as long as you have decent taste in stuff or know how to research, which you do)
“Well the big thing I need to do is find a balance of listing death pile items and sourcing.
Let’s be real – stopping new sourcing just isn’t gonna happen. I don’t even think it is a great idea as every time I consider stopping, I’ll find a $200 item that sells within a few days. If I had stopped, I never make that sale! So I have to be smarter about it.”–Sourcing more and more stuff is a personal decision. As long as we have a handle on listing, we scavenge more. If we feel our death piles are becoming a problem, we slow down. Mental health is important for sustainability. Sounds like you walk that line well.
Congrats on your 2020. I think people that had steady jobs have actually done well this year since people are spending less so can save more. 120lbs weight loss is huge!
Is this baby number 6? You guys should start a reality TV show 🙂
Congrats. Looks like your hard work is paying off. What do you do to avoid burnout?

Wow. A big move! Yeah, selling now is smart if you have a place to rent.
If your daughter hasnt even finished high school, you’re not old. What will you do with all your stuff? After all the travel, will you buy again? Or just be renters and wanderers?
Yeah, maybe Young Life and other MLM’s are good.
