True. I agree that the seller has every right to call eBay and get that abusive person suspended/blocked.
In 12 years on selling on eBay, we’ve thankfully never had anyone keep harassing us when we’ve ignored them.
Ryanne did have a SELLER harass her when she opened a case for a defective buyer. The seller began emailing her threats. Very weird. Ryanne called the local police in the seller’s town. They were nice enough to call the woman and tell her to stop.
I’ve heard of others who do this. As long as you have a truck. People will have junk.
That Ryedale sorter is $500: https://www.pennysorter.com/buy-now You need to sell a lot of pennies to break even.
Sounds like it’s profitable if you are committed. Everything takes time and work. From my perspective, I think people just have fun sorting and treasure hunting coins. Like metal detecting.
Who knows. If they got in your head then they’ve won.
I learned I win when I dont rent people space in my head for free 🙂
Yeah, we just ignore. I actually dont even open them and just “mark as read”.
Usually a grumpy troll only sends 10 messages if we interact. Silence is the killer of trolls. They like to be fed.
Nice. Those pirates really know how to ship.
There’s an official process to give a refund to a buyer when a package is lost or takes too long.
The buyer needs to open a case with eBay. eBay then sets a clock for the seller to respond and make the situation right. Eventually, if the package doesnt arrive, the seller gives a refund.
The point is that the official eBay process gives the buyer/seller a way to work out the issue, while also slowing everyone down so the package has time to arrive.
We never just give a refund as soon as the buyer starts complaining.
Fair enough. We do ship coffee anywhere through eBay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/broadporchcoffee/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
See what the prices to your location would be. Let me know if it seems reasonable.
So our dilemma is shipping to Canada.
In the US, we do flat rate of $6 shipping (so buyers feel they get a good deal) and often eat $2 on shipping (because it cost $8 to ship).
To Canada, a 1lb package is pretty expensive so we couldn’t do $6 flat rate shipping. I guess we could just have buyer pay all shipping, but likely no one wants to pay $15 to shipping a pound of coffee!
Yeah, and Simplicio seems to often sell $500+ items so adding expensive shipping gets a little hidden in the price.
On 30 items, buyers see when shipping is “expensive”.
Good! The work and storage and shipping will cut down on competition!!!!!
You are correct. Selling hard goods raises the bar for any seller. And if its not fun, then hard goods are not the way to go.
And sometimes its fun to change things up. Selling clothes can be fun if its new for you.
You are within your right to decline. We would decline with no message.
That’s some real shipping profit. Probably helps that much of what you sell seems to be very big and bulky so you can make $40 extra! As long as buyers dont complain, that’s good money.
So its just templates for google sheets for $9/month?
Yeah, we moved away from GoDaddy Bookkeeping last year and moved to Wave.
Godaddy stopped syncing to several f our bank accounts and offered no support.
