The good news is that violations do roll off of your account, after 1 year. Or at least that used to be the policy. 3 strikes in a year and usually you are out, but there are always exceptions.

So try to keep clean for a year and you should be good.

Clarity,

I got a response from Bonanza. This is what they said:

“Thanks for writing to ask about how to handle a refund. Bonanza lets you create your own refund policy, so if you have listed that you will refund in 30 days you will use that policy. If you have free shipping set up, you will have to return all of the cost of the item. If the buyer paid for shipping, you do not have to return that money.”

But now I have a new twist. They returned the DVD\VCR combo that was working when I sent it. Now the VCR doesn’t work. So, now I have to figure out how to handle that and how it got broken.

Clarity,

Yes, but what about the original shipping cost?

I wasn’t able to meet up with Brian, but maybe next time.

Thank you for the response. I thought this may be the exception to the rule of breaking things up and you have confirmed it.

This book is well done. However, the binder to the book is coming apart. I think there may be 150 photos or so. Their attention to every detail of the trip is what makes this one unique. For example, they took a greyhound bus and they put those tickets in there. I wasn’t sure of the value, but based on what you ate saying I may want to aim high. I think i will start at $350. That is much mire than I thought before posting the question, so I thank you both for your responses.

Brian,

I am leaving today for my trip to NJ.

You can contact me here or at jstanton8@yahoo.com

Brian,

Ok, sounds good. Let’s connect later in the week.

I will have my 12 year old daughter with me (rest of family will be at a conference there). Not sure if I can go picking for very long, but could meet up for a bit.

Mark

[Mark S]

Brian,

Thanks for the response. If I can find a decent table cloth, I will give it a try. Is all cotton best?

Also, I am going to be in Secaucus NJ this Fri-Sun. Looks like that is real close to you. Do you have any time to meet up?

Retro,

My vinyl is also getting dirty. What did you switch to and how do you like it? Where did you get it?

Gut Sales Report for the week: Good startto the week, but sales fell off the cliff at the end of the week.

Challenge of the week: Make more room for storage.

Scavenge of the week: I went to an estate sale on Sunday. It was at the end and they were trying to get rid of a lot of Mid-Century hard goods. I would bring a small box filled with great items and they would say $20. I keep this up for a while. At the end, I had spent $110 including items for my daughter. I spend $100 for items I intend to sell. The total listing price that I will list these items for is about $1800. And there are some great items. I was disappointed that they weren’t more big hitters, but with about 50 items, it all adds up.

Classic labels not working for me either.

Mark

[Mark S]

I was able to upload 1 and only 1 photo, so I listed that item.

AtomicStar,

I am having the same issues you are.

I posted my printing of labels issue under the shipping area.

I called ebay about the printing of labels and they are working on that.

Sounds like it may be a server issue since photos are affected also.

Troy,

Thanks. I think I know what I need to do now.

I believe I have about 1000 vintage items. So, I think I will be leaving a lot of money on the table in the 4th quarter if I do not get these up on Etsy. That is a good incentive to get this done.

Troy,

“When you import your eBay listings into SixBit Duo, it will bring over all of the data into an “Ebay” tab of the Item.”

I need clarification here. Does it put the same data in the ebay tab and also in the esty tab for each item? Or do you have to copy from the ebay tab for the item to the etsy tab for the item? If so, can you do this in bulk?

Because what I would like to do is import all my current ebay listings into SixBit Duo. Then limit the listings to those with “Vintage” in the title (about 1000 for me). Then, go to the Etsy tab for each of those items and fill in the Etsy specific information. Then submit that listing to Etsy.

Does it work like I have described? The part I am not sure about is how to get the data from the ebay tab to the Etsy tab in an easy way.
