ty!
Adding to sonia’s worthpoint request thread from a few months back. Would someone with a worthpoint account mind looking up this one for me?
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/toastmaster-hostess-iv-vtg-1960s-488998659
I have this exact one and this model/style hasn’t been sold in the last year on ebay.
Mine is in as good or slightly better condition. I’m thinking $49.99 but wanting to see a past price first.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks @jay and @workhorse, good to know. Interesting that it allows feedback at all for an uncompleted transaction.
USPS for the win!
Ryanne roasted and packaged on Thursday, shipped my eBay order that afternoon, Priority Mail, and here I am sipping a wonderful Burundi on Saturday at 3pm in Portland, Oregon. Great job Ryanne and Broad Porch!
Ryanne, is the Burundi single origin (one farm or a collective)? That’s a region of the world I’ve only had a few cups from and would love to taste the flavor profile more.
Also not sure if everyone got the 5% ebay bucks emails but if you buy Broad Porch Coffee on eBay it’s like getting a 5% rebate! Good through the 22nd!
Two times in the past 6-months this happened to me also. I’m not really expecting it’ll get better any time soon. I established a 50-cent handling fee on all my items a few years back and I consider that my self-insurance. Neither of the last two years have I refunded more to customers than I’ve taken in on this 50-cent fee, so that “solution” works for me.
I just ordered some stuff from them on Friday, I’m not expecting it for a few weeks but we will see. I definitely waited too long and am low or out of a few things.
Glad it worked @tillymcgee ! Always nice to talk to human!
Because they started the return and checked that box (doesn’t fit) and you have said you will accept returns, I’d not say anything else to the seller (as Jay calls it “the silent treatment”). If they return, you should be able to refund only the original price (plus you are paying for the return postage, assuming you have free returns marked). If they want to dispute it with ebay, let them. It is likely that ebay might refund them shipping as a courtesy, but not take from you.
The other thing that could happen is that they won’t return it in the time specified and the case will be closed by eBay. This happened to me recently. Seller received item, said it was “cheap” (it was a vintage barware set, well-photographed and described) and wanted a return. Selected “Changed mind.” I accepted return of course. Then, they sneakily sent a message to another one of my items in my store (so their message wouldn’t be in the message thread of the item in question) basically threatening me to refund shipping because ebay won’t do it automatically. I ignored this message completely (but kept it if I needed to send to ebay). Person never returned. I called once the 15 business days passed, and asked for closure of case, and the next day it did. Yay!

Am I eligible for Promoted Listings quarterly credit? How do I redeem it?
Each quarter, Enterprise and Anchor Store subscribers receive a $25 credit and Top Rated Sellers receive a $30 credit. Top Rated Sellers who are also Enterprise or Anchor Store subscribers receive a combined quarterly credit of $55.
To be eligible for the credits, you must:
- Be an Enterprise or Anchor Store subscriber or have Top Rated status to qualify for Promoted Listings credits (Top Rated Sellers are eligible to receive the credit as long as they maintain the status for at least one month during that quarter).
- Have a valid eBay registration address in the US. Sellers using My eBay can verify their registration address at My eBay > My Account > Addresses > Registration address.
- Launch a Promoted Listings campaign and sell item(s) through the Promoted Listings service.
- Pay your monthly invoice after eBay bills you for items sold.
After that, eBay will issue your quarterly credit up to the amount used on your next monthly invoice and note any remaining Promoted Listings credit balance. Credits will appear in the “Miscellaneous Credits” section of your invoice. The description will tell you which month and quarter the credit is for.
Example: If you are a Top Rated Seller and spend $15 on Promoted Listings in April, you will be charged $15 on your May invoice and receive up to a $15 credit on your June invoice (example based on a $30 quarterly Promoted Listings credit for Top Rated Sellers).
Note: Promotions and credits are subject to change.
3rd Quarter should have been July 1. The 4th quarter one will be October 1.
do you see your coupon code? Or does it say redeemed? If redeemed I’m guessing you used it. Not sure about the other “extra” one. you could search your email and see what the code was for that one.
My “system” has a lot of feel in it but basically I look for comps in terapeak over the past year, go somewhere near the highest sold price (if my condition is worse I might knock it down 10%, if it is a hard to find item I might go up 10-30% over). I list it without make offer. After 2 weeks, if something hasn’t sold and I can send an offer on it, I will, usually around 15% off. After a month or more, I send out 20-25% off offers whenever I can.
Every so often I’ll go and bulk add “make offer” to items that are more than $20 that have been in my store for a month or more. As a result, at any given moment about 60% of my store is on make offer (20% new items aren’t, 20% cheap items aren’t).
That’s my method….
If you are a top rated seller (TSR), you get a $30 per quarter rebate on promoted listings so you should try to maximize that perk. I usually put much of my store (900+ listings) at 2% and then adjust up and down based on how close to $30 I am. Today is the 17th, the 30th is the end of the quarter, and I have spent $27 on promoted listings this quarter at a 2.13% average promoted rate. If I go a little over the $30 or come up just short, fine. But I love the extra exposure.
I did some calculating and my normal sales conversion rate on non-promoted items this quarter was is 1.38%, and the promoted items is was a 1.43%. So if you do the math, promoted listings (at ~2%) you convert about 3.6% more clickthroughs into converted sales. So for zero cost that is worth it, but if you put a high promoted rate you might just break even (or even lose money) at that conversion rate.
Obviously if you set a higher promoted percentage you might get a higher conversion rate also, but I can only comment on my store’s data, and probably will not do that kind of test.
Yes, I got moved to Managed Payments over on Aug 20th I believe. I’ve had two previous GSP sales since the move, and both were fine. One Canada, one Singapore. I was able to print labels and send those to KY with no problem. So this is my first managed payments/gsp glitch.
By buyer hasn’t responded yet as to whether to cancel or not so my sale is still in limbo right now.
Hey Mike, I got an offer on an inexpensive figurine yesterday, countered, re-countered and accepted, then got message from buyer saying that I said I shipped to Israel in my listing (true) but then he tries to pay and it says he cannot. Sounds very similar to your situation. I explained it was probably an eBay payments glitch and I’d cancel the sale. Since it was a low price thing that I was already taking a discount on, I wasn’t hungry to figure out what was wrong or to ship on my own not in GSP. So I’m no help to you, but interested in if you get it all worked out.
