30% of GROSS profit, or NET profit? I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. I wouldn’t trust this guy.
On the other hand, I give him points for supplying a uniform at his expense. A snappy uniform can go a long ways towards providing an employee with a sense of professionalism and self-worth.
(J/K!—Thanks for sharing—I needed a good laugh!)
LOL! I remember some years ago an online bookseller’s blog. He was talking about selling on eBay, at the time, sellers were complaining about all the new competition coming on to ebay, especially people using the (then brand new) ISBN scanners….and he gave some examples of listings, etc, and he basically said: “Yes, lots more sellers, but it’s not like an experienced seller has to do very much to stand out from the crowd. The bar they are setting is very low”
I’d say that’s still pretty true today.

I don’t usually use fragile stickers, but maybe I should—not because I think postal employees will treat my packages carefully if I do, but because I was once told that for frgaile items like glassware, etc, USPS will deny insurance claims if the package didn’t include some sort of “Fragile” notice. Anyone know if that’s true or not?07/11/2017 at 1:30 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 318: Spending Money Should Be Painful #20251T-Satt,
In my experience, if one of my items has a really huge number of views, it is probably because a popular blogger (or other social networking person) linked to it or mentioned it.
Whether that’s the case with your stuff or not, I can’t say.

GTC listings retain the same ID number, manual relists are given a new number. So, no, I don’t think GTCs show as new every 30 days.
I like your idea about auto discounting.
I think maybe ebay closed the case to defer to PayPal. So the case is closed but no decision was made. Ball is in PayPal’s court.
But Jay is right, call ebay to be sure of status.
sonia, I’m not making an argument. Just saying , for me, with relatively few sales per day, simply doing a quick scan of my solds is sufficient. I can see where it might not be sufficient for a larger seller. You could attend the weekly chat with ebay reps on the ebay Boards and suggest it.
OK. I didn’t understand what you wanted. You want ebay to send you a separate email every time a purchase includes a buyer message (even if its just “Thanks””).
I guess we have different needs. I don’t usually sell so much in a day that I can’t either just look at the sold email or the sold list. But I can see if you sell a lot every day, why you would want something like that.
Thanks. Very interesting.
Probably too old to be of any use as a reference today, and of rather limited appeal as a collectible. I’d probably try to find a “hook” to market it if I was gong to bother. Does it have funky old illustrations? Or perhaps some quotes that help date the book (f0r example, placing a much lower value on a womans life/health than a mans , based on the different earning capacities at the time). Also, there could be a way to tie it in with the present Health Care mess….just some random thoughts…
Could be wrong, but I think buyer messages are in the Sold area of Seller Hub, for that item. Even is you only ship every few days, you presumably do check your solds more frequently than that, so just look at your Seller Hub Solds list.
My guess: A glitch. Ignore it. It will likely correct itself.
Clear to me also…you have a total of 25 keyboards, and you are selling them in lots of five. Right?
As to why use them, I’d guess the idea is: postal employees might ignore pleas to handle with care, but might handle with more care if they are complimented and thanked.
