Yes, I’ve tried everything. Even added another email account. I was on hold for an hour and finally got through to tech support. They found where phone notifications was turned off, but they are stumped about the email issue. But at least I have a ticket number now for when I call back.
My favorites are:
1) SCAVENGER LIFE, SHAMPOO & BOOZE yay!
2) In Our Time (BBC)
3) Masterpiece Studio (PBS)
4) Freethought Radio (FFRF)
5) Revolution Health Radio (Chris Kresser)
6) Sam Harris (philosphy, current events)
7) Wise Traditions (Weston A. Price Foundation)
8) Vacation Rental Success – just started with this one
9) Joette Calabrese (homeopathy)
10) Chris Masterjohn (health & nutrition)Yes, Jay and Ryanne, you come out ahead of the BBC. 🙂
I tried to listen to Afford Anything, and I did listen to the J&R one, but her delivery is so breathy and gaspy it’s hard to handle. I love SL and Shampoo & Booze (please don’t stop making them). The other Airbnb one (Get Paid for Your Pad) I don’t like. Yes, I’ve been spoiled by J&R!
Craigslist Hunter is very interesting although once in a while he posts such a long boring video (in his shop) that I’m reluctant to watch sometimes. (Is he Russian?) If it’s more than 10 or 15 minutes I’m skipping it. I like my youtubes to be packed with goodies and as little fluff as possible. Our favorite is Nomadic Fanatic which is about a guy who lives in his motorhome with his cat. Also, CheapRVLiving which is about vandwellers and how to live comfortably in a small space on wheels.
I just did this yesterday because it said “artist and architect” in the buyer’s name field on paypal. Found out that this person is a very much despised professor in Atlanta. So now I’m praying that the item gets there ok and we don’t manage to aggravate them in any way!
@MyCottage – How do you build the shipping into your prices? You never know if an item will go one town over, or across the country.
We don’t get a lot of returns but whenever someone wants to return something they always choose some reason so that they don’t have to pay the shipping or restocking fee. Maybe once a month? Not sure but it’s so aggravating. If it was our fault I’d be like – Here’s all your money back and keep the item. I’ve done that a couple times. But when a buyer wants to return boots that don’t fit, and claims they are defective?! Sheesh! Still haven’t heard back from Paypal.
Nice sales, thanks for posting. I think your prices are quite low, especially with free shipping.
I’m a programmer and I’m horrified at all of the BS technical problems that ebay has. I don’t know who is running the show (head of IT) there but they need to be replaced. Changes should be thoroughly tested before being put into production and it doesn’t seem like ebay bothers to do that.
Mostly very low average sales this week except for one- a pair of antique lamps. We paid $100 each and sold for $480:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/111789136062In spite of these seemingly good profits when I look at what ebay and paypal take out and it’s a little depressing. Wah!
@AdventureE – No, I know about the mobile friendly save button at the bottom because it fooled me too for a while. The active content thing is so crazy because I’ve never used active content and the warning showed up only recently. I’d love to have both of these annoyances disappear.
I get this as well and I’ve never used active content or listed on my phone. Very aggravating. For a while I was clicking on their link to remove it but I noticed that it comes back. Grrrrr.
Also, the mobile friendly checker… I can’t figure out why my listings are always flagged. I’ve tried different font sizes but no luck. I’m just hoping that one day they will just fix all of this crap.
