Maybe it is zone related? I’m on east coast and all USPS rates were correct when I shipped last night with priority mail and first class.
I knew my state of WV is FINALLY ranked near the top in something good. I was SHOCKED to see Virginia is #50. That is sad. What is going on there?
All of our metrics are falling a week or two after the first big batch of vaccine receivers got their second dose.
I’m on an 11. Nothing has changed since I started on a 3gs.
I have been using my iphone for pictures for over 5 years without issues. Your issue is the first time I’ve heard of this for anyone ever.
I even transfer my personal photos regularly to the computer and they’re always standard jpg.

The goodwill nearest me has had some AMAZING vintage clothing the last 2 weeks. The manager told me that a 95 year old man died and the family brought everything to the store to donate – 5 truckloads. There were rooms full of NWT clothing. Sadly much of the NWT stuff is Kmart junk from the 90’s. The real winners are the like new 70’s stuff. Groovy womens outfits, mens suits, NWT 70’s Sears mens pants. I wish they’d let me just go through all the stuff without it being slowly filtered out onto the floor over time. Man I was soooo hoping there would be a treasure trove of vintage Jeans, but no luck.
Regarding facebook, I kicked it to the curb a couple months ago and my happiness level is way up. Marketplace has become a dump IMO. If I need to buy or sell something on there, I’ll just use my wife’s FB. If facebook comes up with a marketplace only app, I would do that. I don’t want any social media at all.
I was really hoping to do 100 listings this week, but Saturday was a wash because I slipped/fell on some ice outside. I was freaking out all day thinking I had tore something in my knee. Thankfully I’m ok other than some minor bruising. Back to full strength already. I do already have 20 listings created and waiting on photos so I have a jump on this week.
I hope this new listing tool lets you set default parameters when creating new listings OR doing sell similar. I created a new listing last week with local pickup only and it ruined my default settings. best offer, immediate pay, handling time, and shipping method all reset to unchecked/blank. I cannot find any way to fix it!!!! They have always just randomly changed over time.
Yeah they never do. It’s weird. I’ve checked several times in the past for false INADs and never see a line item. I figured I was doing something wrong.
I saw this issue randomly a couple weeks ago. The solution was creating a copy of the problematic draft and deleting the original.Haven’t had the issue for a while.
We’re due a major glitch that mucks everything up. It’s been a while.
So follow-up, I did the “bloom” step this morning that I’ve never done before. Maybe it was a coincidence, but it seemed the chocolate flavors came out this time much more. I wasn’t even really paying attention to check for flavors, it just hit me that this cup was really chocolatey.
Pretty cool!
The greatest airplane smoking story you’ll ever hear:
My hat is off to USPS and all of it’s workers. It was ugly, but they got through it. Fund the freaking post office permanently – we need it. Get them some vehicles that are designed to handle packages. It’s sad to see those tiny trucks doing more work than the TWICE as big UPS and FedEx trucks.
Why is it important to keep the USPS going strong? Because the private companies (Fed EX and UPS) just decided they’d process less packages to maintain their metrics. They reduced businesses shipping allotments with no warning at the worst possible time. Imagine a world where a fully privatized mail system puts their bottom line above providing the service. At any time they can just say “meh, we’re not taking your business today. You’re small potatoes”
As a business owner fully dependent on the shipping infrastructure and availability of delivery companies, that is some scary stuff.
Will I eventually have to pay a “priority access” fee to insure my items are picked up and delivered on time? You know they are already planning that after this fiasco.
Jay did an interview with him a few years ago. It was a fun listen.
So per that site, I should be using 3.4 tablespoons of coffee for 20 oz of water. My heaping teaspoons are close to a tablespoon volume wise each. Good to know that what I’m doing is close to what is ideal.
I don’t put a bit of water in first, I just dump it all in. I’ll have to try the bloom thing.
My favorite part of a french press is that by the time the coffee is brewed, it is cooled down a bit. Once I put my cream in I’m ready to take drinks of coffee. ACTUAL drinks. I’m not playing that sippy sip BS game.
I have a question for you. When you buy these commercial parts, do you do research to find a proven market for them or just go all in and hope for the best? I assume you’ve done this enough at this point that you trust the process based on experience.
I’m trying to think what I would do if I came upon a lot of 200+ HVAC controllers. Yeah they’re cheap, but are there actually 200+ people out there who need this specific controller that will come to ebay for it?
I have dabbled in buying small commercial stuff in volume with varying success. It is nice to make a single listing for alot of items. I tend to only go all-in if I can make a reasonable case that there is a market for the items and that I could sell all of them within a year or two.
Shippo you can use UPS and get the same rates as using ebay.
