The ones you get on ebay are typically fake. They will work for 90 days and then you’ll get a notice that you have an unauthorized version of windows. It will still work, but your background will stay black and you’ll get annoying popups all the time.
My ebay laptop has this issue. So annoying! Pretty sad you still have to pay for an OS for windows when Apple has been giving it away forever.
the 15x8x5 box is always minimum 3 lbs for shoes for me. Anything under 2 lbs either goes in a flat rate or a standard poly bag to save ounces. I put REALLY nice shoes or Heavy mens shoes are 4-6lbs in the 15x8x5 box.
Does the 15x8x5 shoe box qualify for the cubic rate?
I could save a TON shipping heavier shoes.If you had pending offers while on vacation with the longer handling time, bulk editing would have missed the change back. This may explain the discrepancy.

They are also losing alot of my business due to their parcel changes.I had a couple email conversations with amazing taste a few years back. Her schedule is grueling! Workday starts at 3am. I don’t know how they keep from burning out.
How do you pass on your fedex discount only? I’d really like to do this.
USPS really shot themselves in the foot with this parcel change – Fed Ex just became MUCH more competitive and I’ll be using them alot more now.

New Listings 28Summer sales goal:
$625 over my weekly goal of $875. Currently trailing my cumulative summer goal by $800.60
This big week put me in the ballpark of meeting my goal.I sold a pinball machine this week for $2500, paid $1500. I would have liked to get a bit more for it, but the buyer is a very reputable dealer so I know it will be a smooth transaction. Their shipper will pick it up this week.
I noticed that ebay turned my clothing sales tap on this week. Hopefully that trend continues. I definitely need to get a BUNCH more clothing listed.
Nothing much to talk about scavenger wise. The yard sale season is pretty much over. This time of year the yard sales suck. That’s ok – it will be time to hunker down and attack my death mountain (it’s way past “pile” stage) this fall.
Yep, I did the same thing with some golf clubs. I had a near full set of womens irons I was going to sell as a set and I was going to be lucky to get $150. I decided to sell them separately – been selling them for $30-50 each. Already made over $200 and I have a few of them left.
Ryanne,
It was an ING Orange Savings account back in the 2000’s. The rate was 10%! It was an order of magnitude better than what banks were offering, which was around 2%. Even the best CD was 4-5% at the time.My wife (then girlfriend) was in a car accident and she received a $20k cash settlement. Instead of spending it she put it all in that 10% savings account. Eventually the rate dropped to next to nothing, but collecting 10% on $20k was pretty cool.
That paid for the down payment on our first house.

New Listings 34Summer Sales Goal: OVER weekly goal by $141.40 (YAY!)
Running total is still trailing by $1425.60I only have 3 weeks left for my summer goal, and I would need to average $1350 in sales a week to meet the goal. I’m listing again, but posting 3 record weeks in a row in the summer seems like a long shot. My very poor week last week shot me in the foot pretty bad. On the whole though, I’ve done very well. There were two very bad weeks that made up almost $1100 of my deficit.
Our vacation is booked and paid for – a 3 bedroom oceanfront condo. We decided against doing a 2 week vacation and instead split it up. We plan to go to Orlando for a week in February.Scavenging this week I bought 2 electrolux canister vaccums with the power nozzles at yard sales.I almost walked away from the second one because I didn’t want to pay $8. Lol! I only paid $2 for the first one so $8 felt like highway robbery! I tried the walk away thing and it didn’t work, so I circled the block and came back and paid. Just the hose sells for $40! I’ll make over $100 for each vacuum.
I’m going to hit the listing hard for the rest of the month. I want my fall sales to really step it up a notch!
