I beg to differ. I used to keep bread in a cabinet drawer at my office to make sandwiches. One day I went to get my bread only to find out a mouse had chewed a hole in the end and then hollowed out the loaf to make a sweet little house.
Another co-worker has had a jar of peanut butter have a hole chewed in it that was in a file cabinet drawer.I have put 1st class int. to Canada on many of my listings. For a while I was putting it as an option on everything. I’ve never sold a single thing that way to Canada.
I have sold numerous items GSP to Canada. Canada is such an anomaly.I just had another Canadian potential buyer ask me to do 1st class intl on an item the other day. I went and revised the listing, messaged the buyer, and then crickets. To date I’ve never had a Canadian buyer follow through with purchase after asking to be exempt from GSP. I know it isn’t universal, but for me Canadian buyers are deadbeat buyers when attempting to do traditional international shipping.
On the flipside, I’ve had plenty happy Canadian buyers that have bought through GSP no questions asked. They pay full price and promptly leave glowing feedback. Every single one of them.
I sent a request for your group. That is a very interesting proposition to cross list to etsy.
I am 100% perfectly fine with the majority of Americans not knowing how to negotiate. Let’s keep it that way! More of my overpriced items sell Buy it Now than sell with the offer system, even though I take offers on all items. It always baffles me that people don’t make offers.
As for yard sales, if the person isn’t willing to haggle then it’s no sweat off my back. Onto the next yard sale. I let my back do the talking if they completely balk at my offer with no counter as I walk to my car.
Exactly, or they can write “firm” in the notes. I think I’ve had one person ever counter back with the same amount. I appreciated they did this…but I still declined it. Lol.
I just had an item ( Lego fairies set) sell out quickly. I priced high at $60. I’ve been checking every day on price. It shot up very quickly and I was out of stock just like that.
It is pretty cool when that happens.i do wish Amazon would alert me when I have a tentative sale though – that way I can check price and maybe raise it.
It stinks ebay won’t work with you on this. Put it behind you, but next time you call in bring it up when they ask if there is anything else they can do. If they don’t help that time then ask for a supervisor and make a stink about it. That is a definite retaliatory feedback.
For the last few months I’ve approached the offer system like a robot. If someone makes a decent offer but I want more, I’ll counter. Some folks make a low end but maybe acceptable offer, and they immediately decline my counter. I never understand these individuals, and I had come to terms that they just were tire kickers.
Yesterday I had one and after a few hours I sent a message stating that I was not aware his initial offer was a firm offer, and that I would have accepted it if I had known. I said I would accept if he was still interested.
He wrote me back, thanked me, and then promptly resubmitted his offer. Twas an interesting experiment that actually worked out.
Haha, great song! Surely that dude was a Weird Al fan growing up. I wonder…do the people that pay big prices for vintage clothes pretend they found them for cheap themselves?
The brand didn’t really matter much. As soon as I saw this item from 20 feet away I knew it was like hitting the lottery. It is some awesome vintage 90’s fashion style.
Do a search on Get Used by Elie.
I did a quick trip to the local Gucci Goodwill during lunch. Told myself I was only looking for higher dollar items. I’ve mentioned this before, but “quick trips” to a goodwill are always when I find my best item. So right off the bat I see this item hanging as a set right at the front of the store. They didn’t even specialty price it!! Got it for $6 for the set. They totally miss this item and then put a $20 tag on a generic Talbot’s sweater. This is the perfect example of why I stress that we should get smarter at thrift stores instead of feeling helpless when prices rise.


I’m listing for at least $150, but I was thinking about going for broke and maybe doing $200-250 with best offer. Can’t get more if you don’t ask for more!
12/07/2016 at 10:52 am in reply to: Paying yourself, Putting some back for buying inventoy Percentages? #7493I feel the same way about paypal. Once paypal account starts to get up to a certain point I’ll make a withdrawal to my bank. Between $2-3k is my tipping point on paypal balance. I try to make $1k my minimum paypal balance.
I just don’t feel like paypal would have my back if a hacker came along and wiped me out.
12/07/2016 at 9:49 am in reply to: Dealing with "not as described" (but really buyer's remorse) ebay returns #7471I’ve seen multiple people on here describe the same exact scenario over the last year and a half. This system is BS. Ebay should close the NAD claim and create a standard return. THEY should be doing all this work, not you. Ryanne spoke in the podcast about the new returns system ebay is testing in which this will hopefully be resolved.
As with any customer service situation, if what the rep is telling does not add up then ask for a supervisor.
The one thing we can take solace in is that problem buyers are fairly rare in the grand scheme of things.
