Taking a look at her feedback left for others, she leaves negative feedback for all of her purchases (except one) and includes the same comment “The quality of this item is not like the image..it is very cheap..do not buy” So I guess I have a “Karen” on my hands. Great.
Would anyone refund her original shipping just to get her off of your back or do you leave it alone? On one hand, for $12.99 I can probably be done with it, although that doesn’t guarantee she won’t leave me bad feedback. On the other hand, I think she is probably buyer who games eBay’s system by intimidating sellers and I don’t want to reward her for that.
Depending on the return reason the buyer selects at the time he initiates the return, Ebay will either bill him or you for the return. Item Not As Described is likely what this buyer will select which means you’ll cover the return shipping. If you agree with that reason, then when you receive the item back, you should refund any shipping buyer originally paid.
10 for me, and a surprising 4 of them met the challenge.
So much studying to do because I’m taking 3 of the 4 tests for the CFE credential all within the week so i’ll be amazed if I get anything listed this coming week.
I started reading some reseller’s instagram post about how to post 15 listings every day. It started off with, “First, get 100 items ready to photograph” at which point I stopped reading because who has room to get 100 items ready to photograph?! Hehe
22 for me. 1 is Made in USA.
Listing has slowed down as I’ve been studying to take a Certified Fraud Examiner test next week. I’ve been meaning to take it for 2 years now and since I’ve put it off for so long, I have until the end of August to take it or else I’ll have to pay for it all over again. I don’t really need it, it’s just a credential I want to have in case I ever go back to my prior life in the anti-money laundering field. Plus, I have found the material to be interesting. If anyone is looking for an interesting fraud related documentary, I recommend The Queen of Horses on IMDB TV. It’s about a lady who committed the largest embezzlement of public funds in US history – $54 million from one small town, Dixon, IL.
Happy listing, y’all.
32 items listed.
Jaepete – join anytime! Glad to have you! Post your weekly numbers every Monday if you want them counted towards that week’s listing challenge. This group has helped me more than anything on days when I can’t seem to list. There’s something about having to post my number every week that helps me to crank out a few more listings.
Vintage Lacy – we just started getting Tillamook products down here in GA about a year ago and I’m obsessed! I love the Monster Cookie Ice Cream and their extra sharp cheddar cheese.
Wow! Everyone has a lot going on. Amatino, I’m glad you got an answer re why you were feeling lousy. Now just get better! Awesome July 4th pic by the way.
Only 23 listings for me. For someone that is depending on ebay/Poshmark for a full time income, that is pretty stinking bad. I had several days where I’d sit at my computer and just could not get much productivity out of me. I guess I’m in a bit of a summer funk that I need to snap out of.
34 listings for me – pretty good as I was away visiting the in laws on what are usually my busiest listing days. Just got back an hour ago and have lots of shipping to catch up on.
2 items meet the June challenge.
Try to stay cool, everyone!
I love the look of old cash registers too. A store on main street growing up in the 80s called Spurgeon’s used one of those old giant registers. I was always fascinated by it. If I ever have a brick and mortar store (not likely), I’d want one of those registers even if it was just for display.
Up and at ’em, y’all! It’s Monday morning and I must have just the right amount of coffee coursing through my veins because I’m a bit hyper. Hopefully this feeling will last me through my Monday morning workout.
53 listings this week, 5 met the challenge.
This week I’m hoping to concentrate on listing hard goods. They’ve been taking a backseat to clothing. I have my photography area set up for hard goods so all I need to do is get at it.
@Amatino – those dogs look like they’re living their best lives! 🙂
My cat Bob developed a serious UTI case (probably from stress when we were away on vacation.) So he had a Vet ER trip on Friday night to make sure it wasn’t a urinary blockage. We have pet pads all over the house this week because he’s straining to go quite a bit. He’s only now starting to show some improvement. Poor guy. We have 3 pets and it’s always something….
29 items for me. 6 meet the June challenge – all clothes from my closet that I have no hope of ever fitting into again.
I need to get my arse in gear and list like a fiend! Between taking a long vacation and vet trips to care for pets I feel like I’m hemorrhaging money!
I used to tease my husband about some of the sci-fi shows he watches but then it occured to me that I watch YouTube videos of people dumpster diving so who am I to tease anyone. 🙂 I follow a couple on Instagram who dumpster dive in NYC and it’s incredible how much they find. It seems a lot easier to do that there since most garbage is set right out on the street in front of each business. I wish I had the guts to dumpster dive but I’m afraid of authority and getting yelled at.
@Junque-redux “De-hoardify” is going into my permanent vocabulary. Our basement also needs to be de-hoardified. Hehe.
To get into gear to list, if it’s a motivation problem try listing one item, right now as soon as you read this (if you’re at home). It’s along the lines of Mel Robbin’s Ted Talk about how motivation is garbage. If I waited to be motivated, I’d never get anything started. Mel has made a million dollar career for herself selling self help books based entirely on her 5 second motivation philosophy. It basically boils down to forcing yourself to do something within 5 seconds of thinking about it before your brain can talk you out of it.
11 items for me which I got in under the wire. I need to get serious about ramping up my listings. Between vacation and some other thing I’ve been burning through cash at a frenetic pace.
@sharyn – I heartily recommend Sanibel. Except for one busy road, it is so quiet and slow paced. It was the only time on the vacation we were actually felt like we were fully relaxing.I’m back from vacation and ready to work! Before I left for vacation I posted 6 items for week 20. I’m not actually sure what week we’re on now….
This was our longest vacation ever – 1 week and 5 days. Our cats were VERY happy to see us and barely let us sleep last night. Later today we pick up the dog from doggie daycare. I wish I could get him now but he’s scheduled for a bath before he leaves so we can’t get him until 4pm.
We live in GA and have been making trips around GA & FL to determine what beach we’d like to move to. Some places we stay a single night and other places we stay several. We will definitely be going back to Jekyll Island, GA, Key West (I’ve been there 3 times now) and Sanibel Island. I probably don’t need to visit St Simons Island again and definitely not Hutchinson Island.
Before I left for vacation I super cleaned my ebay room. Man was it nice walking into it when we got home – so open and organized. I can hardly wait to start shipping this morning. I turned all of my platforms off while I was away, turned them back on during the drive home and already have 5 sales.
