That’s good to know. For some reason I thought the US military allowed anything and everything to be shipped to bases since they’re treated like “US soil”.
I hear you. VEROs are tough because they are very arbitrary. As we’ve said here before, VEROs are like speeding ticket. Everyone is speeding on the freeway, but the cop only stops random people.
I’d take the three day suspension, clean up your store and just dont sell those items again (especially since theyre low dollar).
I also assume you’re restricted from listing new items but you can still sell what you have listed?
That’s fair. You mentioned burnout so just wondering if lack of enthusiasm for those items are part of it. That being said, we all get burnt out no matter what we sell. This is why we like having the large inventory so we can “float our burnout” and still keep selling while we recharge.
I saw the other thread on this topic. Does it seem like eBay turned on some weird shipping change on your items?

11/10/2020 at 9:08 am in reply to: Buyer refunded by eBay for “item not received” – then item was delivered! #83311You have every right to feel this way. It was nice you gave a refund, but the buyer now has no need to return the item since the transaction has ended. You can try to contact the and hope they do the best. But it may just be best to forget it and mark it up to “lesson learned”. All the mental turmoil makes it a really expensive item.
We wouldn’t have given a refund so soon. eBay understands that the Post Office is having issues so would have backed you up. Eventually we might need to give a refund, but we let the process work.
You obviously do very well with these industrial auctions. Its the high dollar sales I always dream about.
Do those industrial items excite you as far as the research and testing? Or is it just a widget that brings good money?
It’s like we’re always chasing that high of the big treasure chest of good stuff. I definitely know that excitement when I find a pile of valuable items for cheap that nobody else sees.
Hope you guys just have the seasonal cold. You can probably hear on the recording that I’ve been dealing with a cold.
Huh, I’m glad if eBay is ignoring companies that try to take down listings. The company doesnt own the item and shouldnt be allowed to control the market. I guess they could use a VERO claim instead.
I know Amazon allows companies to not allow any unauthorized seller to see their items.
I feel like the people who do estate sale or storage clean outs also run thrift stores. You need some kind of outlet to sell the huge volume of stuff you’d get. I just dont see a way to individual list/store truck loads of stuff.
I like Amatino’s vision. If you’re really interested in clean outs, let this be your experiment. Don’t pay more than $100. Sort everything out immediately. See if it feels like you’re really profiting or doing someone else’s dirty work.
Personally, I would never rent a storage unit just for this stuff. You’re immediately losing money.
Let us know how it goes. The worse that happens is you get trash. Live and learn.
I agree with RetroTreasuresWV. Most likely you’ll get a whole lot of junk. Maybe even truckloads that have to go to the dump.
Whats your motivation to do cleanouts? Any suggestion they’ll have very valuable stuff?
I’m not sure if there are any guidelines. See what they have and make an offer. If this is what they couldnt sell, I’d lowball since they likely just want it all gone.

I had a strange one last month where I received neg feedback on an item that the buyer made an offer on and never paid. I had found a local band’s t-shirt in a thrift store, listed it and about a year later a buyer made an offer on it and I accepted. The buyer turned out to be the band’s singer and started threatening me in PMs calling me a counterfeiter and I was ripping the band off. Told me he know who I was and I was going to get it if he saw me in person. Of course I called eBay and reported him. They cancelled the order and I blocked the buyer and I thought that was that. Fast forward to a month later and I find out he left neg feedback, just saying “scammer”. I spoke with 2 or 3 eBay reps who agreed it should be removed since he never bought the item but they didn’t hold the power to do it themselves. Because of Covid the feedback team is not accepting calls so every time they forwarded my request to remove the feedback the feedback folks said it was legitimate since it was the buyer’s opinion. The buyer wasn’t a buyer! Plus they harassed me! I had to just reply to the feedback and move on with my life. Very annoying that I couldn’t explain the situation to a human.
We’re just the canary in the coal mine.
