Yes I was taking photos one by one. And spending way too much time researching. I mean like an hour or so. Sometimes 15 minutes. Sometimes more than an hour. Many times my items are scarce or one of a kind. Or so I think. So with my issues, most times I get one to three items listed on the days I try. I do get good prices. Usually better than what has sold.
I have neurological issues, chronic fatigue and FMS. So when I push myself, not by much, my body says OH NO WAY. I’m dealing with literally no space at all. I get extremely stressed listing fighting through brain fog.
I have done well homing the amount of stuff I got all summer. Yet I need to do better, but the fatigue beats my butt. So I have a death piles in front of my shelves that house my eBay listings. There is no way to move those piles. Unless I want to live on top of them.
Good for you 🙂
Always nice to find an edge to getting merchandise
Salvation Army just does half price. At half price, most items are still over priced 🙁
A few years ago, I bought jewelry from a woman in Louisiana. She sent me ginger candies. I thought it was odd. Now the whole Mardi Grass thing makes sense.
I have added a quick note or thank you if for some reason we connected.
Update: Everything that used to be 25 cents to a dollar is $2 to $5. Things that were $3 or $4 are now $10 to $20. The funny part is they have never been busier. So they’re getting their prices.
I’ve just noticed that all thrifts have increased their pricing. Makes it a bit tough.
I had a chargeback through the credit card that the person purchased it through 5 1/2 months later. Although I did have a tracking number, eBay only stores them for so long. They first claimed they didn’t like and wanted their money back, but keep the item. When that failed, they said it was never delivered. PayPal for some reason didn’t have the full tracking number. The credit card company sided with them. So I was out over $300. You maybe covered through eBay’s buyer protection. Yet they can still fight it with their credit card company.
Ryanne said to check your emails to find tracking number. Yet this was quite awhile after it happened. Never dawned on me 🙁
When sale was completed, it said his eBay name and country he was based in. Then when he paid, it was a California address to ship it to.
Okay so this is what I was getting at when you feel life is NOT fair. You don’t escape how you deal with it when your wearing your business hat. Unfortunately we bring our whole selves into everything we do. So I try to gain perspective when I am faced with any unfairness. I’m with Jay and Ryanne. I think I would feel that it was totally unfair to me, the seller. Its simply a business decision. Almost 1,200 more is worth a ding on your record. They don’t make a habit of it. As they said, this is the first time they have ever done it.
Also I wanted to thank Jay and Ryanne for your conversation on returns. Especially when you said to let the buyer come up with the dollar amount they would like to receive. On a $47 item, I was willing to give it ALL back except the shipping charge. He only wanted $17 back. I stayed calm and it turned out great. Thanks 🙂
The fur coat I have balled up as well. When I touched it, it went to ash. Unfortunately I don’t have much of a sense of smell.
I think I will visit a rug seller and get an education on rugs!
Okay I give. Now its loading SMH
