Nope. It’ll be shipped to wherever their original address was. Tell buyer to work with their local post office. Must be some kind of mail forwarding. eBay will back you up.
And for those of you that dont like Microsoft products, I use Google Sheets. Its also free: https://www.google.com/sheets/about/
Very helpful to keep spreadsheets in the cloud, especially when working with other people.
Ask for photos. If photos show they’re broken, you can refund and apply for insurance through USPS.
We always ask for photos.
That’s exciting. I’ve read how its difficult to find PC parts so glad you could find everything you need.
You seem to be making about as much as us each week: $1000 after fees. In a perfect world, what’s the sum you need each week?
I didn’t realize that people were still posting week numbers until I wandered back into the forum last week.
We cant quit each other. We’re still selling on eBay so thought it’d be good to still have a place to trade info on how things are evolving.
Yes, we learned a while ago to go into winter with a huge deathpile of stuff to list. Im surprised yard sales stop in California. Isn’t it always pretty nice all year round?
I offer free shipping on anything under 2 lbs (I can reasonablely work the price into sales cost) and if something has been in inventory over 2 years and it was truly scavenger (close to free) any profit about $10.00 is considered a win.
Shipping is Ryanne’s realm. I think it’s close to a religious dogma for her that shipping should never be free.
This kind of sale is like a gateway drug. This is how many of us got started selling clothes. Trying to chase the big sale 🙂
It’s $70/month to keep this site hosted and maintained. Maybe it can be done cheaper, but we like the guy who makes sure the site is always running.
We do have a tip jar here: https://www.scavengerlife.com/tip-jar/
Not necessary, but always appreciated.
In my case, the best way to prevent issues with international orders was to not sell international at all, although I realize I’m probably in the extreme minority when it comes to that conclusion.
our answer is still Global Shipping. We probably get fewer international orders because its more expensive for the buyer, but it’s zero stress for us. I think GSP is a better chice than having no international orders.
Do the coupons stack on top of any discount sales you have active? So if your store is 10% off, does the coupon give another 10%?
I can’t speak for others as I have no interest in AirBnB but I was ready to get out of NoVA for a LONG time. With full time telework now an option, it was the time to make the move. I’m still within reasonable distance of DC for the few trips I will need to make but I might as well be living in another universe day to day compared to a booming DC suburb.
Agreed. We’ve always seen our area as a little secret since its so close to DC and has always been so reasonable. With the pandemic pushing work from home, the secret is now out.
