pirateship simple export rate.
09/11/2020 at 7:58 am in reply to: The New Time Away Settings (Old “Vacation Settings”) – Woo hoo! #81473Give sellers all the tools to run a business, streamline the process, and sellers will RUN – not walk – to do business on your platform. They are making much better decisions.
I hope one day that they implement some bookkeeping software as well – make it a one stop shop to run your whole business.
You can do it either way.
I wish they would bypass paypal completely and let us buy shipping with a credit card.
I’m missing out on a ton of extra card points because the transaction is filtered through paypal and not categorized as shipping costs. The top rated discount always beats pirateship so I just have to grin & bear it.
And here is a summary of all states.

No federal or state requirements in texas.
This was an interesting research bit though, as most businesses likely violate the rules on unpaid lunches for office workers.
This one is simple. Just state at the beginning of the next shift:
“Hey I’ve noticed that you take a 30 minute break to eat each day. I have no problem if you need to have a meal or take an extended break for personal reasons, but I can’t pay you for that time. You can either skip the lunch, add a half hour to the beginning or end of your shift, or just log 4.5 hours. It’s up to you.”
I start on the PC, then take photos and list on phone.
Many listings error out and say I have to update required item specifics. If this is the worst bug I’ll take it!

Good week getting alot of things listed and organized. I condensed 12 totes in my inventory storage so I have plenty of room now to list. Lots of family stuff and did some traveling to visit family as well this weekend. I jumped off a 30 foot waterfall yesterday which was pretty awesome!
My plan is to grind away at listing as much as possible this month so I can enter 4th quarter at my highest ever listed inventory numbers. 1578 is my highest inventory number, so I want to be at 1600 or better by the end of the month. I’ll need to list about 300 items to get there.

Man I picked a GREAT week to start listening to “We’re Alive”. My Monday would have been empty without a new SL podcast but I’ll be good now. If you haven’t ever heard of We’re Alive, you should definitely add it to your podcast list.
I’m still working on blasting through listing all of my shoes backlog since my daughter is doing such a great job cleaning and photographing shoes. We’ll finish this week and hopefully she can transition to coats and jackets.
Regarding managed payments, I find it quite irritating that they don’t release funds for payout until I ship the item. On the other hand, it is motivating me to stay on top of my shipping.
I’m feeling the pressure to get as much listed as possible. Yardsales were a complete bust this past weekend as expected. As much as it pains me to not shop, I’m going to shut down sourcing in September and focus on listing and inventory management so I can enter 4th quarter high on listed inventory, well organized, and flush with cash. All the unrest in our country has triggered my anxiety to make me want to fill my cash reserves as much as possible.
Typically in cases such as these, the buyer supplies me with contact info so we can talk.
We’re blocked from sending that info but they usually are not.
Kinda hard to do when you are forced to pay for shipping with paypal…
Ah, those days of $20 amazon credit for being even the slightest bit unsatisfied were awesome.
I wonder if Walmart is including their grocery app in their online sales. Their store pickup shopping has BLOWN UP since the virus thing started. My local walmart dedicated like half the parking lot to employee parking – most of which are doing the store pickup shopping stuff.
Normally I get irritated when people are already doing Halloween in August, but this year everyone gets a pass from me. Gotta have something to look forward to!
