We’ve sold for ten years and haven’t lost listings, let alone our entire store. But I guess like insurance, it’s worth it if it helps you sleep at night.
We originally did it so we could merge two stores together (it worked well).

Be interested what other people say.
I know a handful here use Sixbit, but as you say, its PC only. Sixbit also requires you to host your own database locally.
We use macs so Inkfrog seemed the only choice. But it also hosts the database in the cloud which is nice. Our eBay store sync automatically so we always have a backup. Its worth the $10 or so we pay each month.

There are a lot of casual sellers out there who dont know the first thing about shipping. There are even fairly serious sellers who seem really lacking in their shipping techniques.
People only change when it gets too painful to keep doing the same thing.
She also could be telegraphing ahead that she’s gong to be a bigger problem beyond the shipping. She’ll receive the item and find something wrong and accuse you of being corrupt. Then you have to fight for her to return it etc.
I’d cancel, give a full refund, and block.
Good catch.
We call them “death piles” because its items that suck the life out of us. We eventually get rid of anything we question too much. There’s so much stuff out there to by and sell.
True. But with storage so cheap, it’s strange that it matters to them.
As you said it’s probably a very very very low priority to their development team. But in a perfect world they’d program a transparent expiration date on drafts. It’d avoid a lot of confusion. Just say “after 30 days, drafts will be deleted”.
Even with rural internet often lacking, the “country” is less and less isolated. Also most rural areas are two hours from an urban area. Its really hard to be in the “middle of nowhere” these days. We agree that owning land is probably the best investment to make.
It’s really all about space efficiency. The key is to not just store items along the walls. Fill the space with shelves like a library.
Our storage building is 24′ wide. We were able to fit five shelves across that space. It’s fairly tight to walk around, but this means we have lots of space to put plastic bins. Four shelves on each unit. So 12 large plastic bins per unit.
We invested in solid metal shelves:

And I would maximize the space you have before even considering renting a storage space. It can be a business investment, but its also money lost each month.
Thats awesome. I’m glad home and work is hitting on all cylinders. We’d love hearing about alternative ways of sourcing during the pandemic.
Would you feel comfortable selling on eBay, or do you think there’s a better place to find the art collectors.
I think keyword stuffing can get out of control. We’re guilty of using all characters allowed and sounds funny.
But its a balance between not wanting to confusing the buyer, and making sure search engines find out item with keywords. Fewer keywords means less likely to be found in search.
If its hard goods, nothing can hurt stuff except water. Metal, wood, porcelain, pottery, etc.
Art, clothes, etc we keep in climate controlled areas.
