Sigilini – Ringer tees are those with contrasting color collar and sleeve bands.
I tried this, but no change as of yet. I’ll check again in the morning because often the overnight batch jobs do a ton of processing. Fingers crossed that they have a job that will auto fix this.
Ebay for Business on fb also refunded me. Which I guess is the $60 monthly cost for the medium store. But we lost photos on 48 items and it will take probably two days with both of us working to get them redone. I’m still hoping that ebay will restore them from backup although the rep said not. She also told me to try revising, not not changing anything, but that didn’t help.
My listings that renewed last night did NOT lose their photos. Well that’s progress anyway. Now they have to recover the ones that were removed.
No matter what time of year programming changes are made they still should be properly tested before rolling out to production environment. Argh! I’ve never seen such a mess and I’ve been in IT for 25 years. Damn programmers, lol!
In addition to the photo problem I also haven’t been getting SOLD emails for about a week. I do get the notification on my phone, just no email. Really annoying!
I’m a programmer so I know how these things happen. However, there’s no reason ebay should fail to fix this. There is a thing called DR (disaster recovery) and every company has DR policies and annual tests of DR procedures and backups of backups, some offsite and some onsite. Ebay can fix this if they want to!
A customer messaged me on Friday that she wanted pictures of an item. I told her to check back and that it was probably just a glitch. Next day, she messaged me again. I called ebay and, wonder of wonders, got an American rep. She said that she’d never heard of the problem, blah blah blah, but that ebay was hiring more Americans for CS since they’d had so many complaints of people not able to understand the Philipino accent.
Way to go! My brother retired from engineering at 58 last year and he’s got a honey business and a word-of-mouth handyman business. It seems that many people don’t know how to do even basic home repairs and so he’s had to turn away a ton of business. He could turn it into a full-time gig so easily. I think a lot of builders/carpenters/handmen don’t want to do the small jobs.
LOL, I hate that smell, but it is the smell of money too, since we turn those items into cash. I generally wash the clothes, and definitely the bedding items. We’re lucky to have a covered porch, too, where things can air out. It took weeks to eliminate the smell of cigarettes from a leather jacket but it did work.
Currently reading (actually listening to in the car during my looong commutes) “Inspector Hobbes and the Blood” which is really quirky and funny, but I’m usually into classic/old British stuff: Dickens, Trollope, Doyle, etc.
I don’t understand what people mean by wordiness. I mean a book is all words… That’s like saying your music has too many notes. My mom is always complaining when books have too much “description”. What? LOL
This kid is too young for confirmation. More like “First Holy Communion” age.
