Homechooling on lockdown SUCKS.
Normal homeschooling where we are free to go whereever we want whenever we want is AWESOME.While I think it is cool that people are getting a taste of homeschooling, I fear that many think this is what homeschooling really is – being stuck at the house all day every day. We have so many activities we do that have all been ended since the stay at home order started.
14lbs doesn’t sound like a alot, but coffee is light I suppose. Just how much volume is 14lbs of beans? Can you give more details on the roaster? I’m quite curious about it. Just how big is it?
Some buyers think they are SUPPOSED to leave neutral feedback if things go “as expected”.
Also of note, some people are just assholes.Ignore it and move on. When I get a neutral, first I mentally thank the person for not leaving a negative. Then I respond to the feedback that “I strive for 100% satisfaction. Buyer did not reach out to me prior to leaving feedback”.

New Listings 95Wow what a week! I had several big ticket sales that boosted my numbers. If only every week could be like this week…that would be awesome. I’m gonna keep riding this wave as long as it lasts. I slowed down a bit this weekend because I got hit with whopper of an allergy attack. I’ve been freaking out thinking I have the coronavirus. Not fun at all.
A quick tip – Paypal currently has no fees on instant transfers. Take advantage of that while you can! It’s nice to instantly have new money in my checking account instantly.
So a couple things, if you use the send offers to buyers tool on mobile app, it recently changed to default to “allow counter offers”.
Secondly, the offer history is broken in the apple mobile app. I have asked MANY times to get this fixed. I don’t think it ever will. You have to review the offer on the desktop site in order to see offer history.

New Listings 35Wow I blew my Items Sold record right out of the water this week! A guy could get used to these kind of sales weeks.
It’s been kind of a sucky week. I got the stimulus money, and the same day my dishwasher AND refrigerator died. Story of my life!
I did gut the broken refrigerator before they took it so I could sell the parts. I should be able to make about $800 once everything sells.
This weekend I finally finished rebuilding the rest of the wooden shelves in my inventory building. Now I have all of my storage fully “efficientized” so I can plug ahead with listing my profit piles in an orderly fashion.The ominious “Cost Protection Measures” corporate emails are starting to come in at work. This week they stated that noone can rollover vacation anymore. We have to use 100% of what we have by the end of the year. I don’t see how this saves the company money, but whatever. It is inevitable that other cuts will come at some point this year as our sales intake goes down.
My sales this week give me hope that I really could survive on my ebay sales if my day job ended. I’ll keep on chugging along since I have alot of free time right now. I’m working from home, which means my work computer is set up right next to my ebay computer at my listing station. I’m listing in the downtime as I really only have 2-3 hours of real work a day since I’m not on-site.
Do you live in one of those cave houses?
I’ve pretty much abandoned selling on FB marketplace due to the constant takedowns for things that should be fine.
The buying experience is now becoming a pain as well because the marketplace is OVERWHELMED with non-local advertising junk.
They’ve taken a great thing and ruined it.
That don’t look like 1000. They’re also sitting on the floor next to an animal pen. Man I hope this works out well for you. Keep us updated!
I take photos on my iphone and I hot swap between 4×6 and square in the app as I take photos as needed. I try to take everything I can in square, but some things you just have to have the 4×6 to get the proper level of detail.
I find that doing an organization or improvement project re-energizes me. Something with a clear scope of work and defined completion point.
I disagree on the week of laziness being good for you. Newton’s 1st law of motion applies here. An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. Get up and do something – you’ll feel better!
In other news, the Governor declared the county I work in a “hot spot” by executive order. This is supposed to kick in additional restrictions on businesses. I have not heard from my boss what, if any, changes will take place from it. The likely thing is that I’ll be working 100% from home. We already have to wear masks 100% of the time at work. They may reduce the amount of workers that can be there at the same time. It’s looking to be an interesting week!

New Listings 99Another excellent week. Man if I would have know I was at 99 new listings I would have done one more to hit an even hundred. Lol!
Ebay really should capitalize with some advertisement right now to bring in more sellers. Amazon is really screwed up right now and their shipping quote times are laughably bad. Ebay is pretty much the only place in the world right now where you can get what you want and have it shipped quick. #ebayisopen #ebayhaswhatyouneedHere in WV, people filing NORMAL unemployment claims are running into a brick wall. Noone is getting processed – the whole system is bogged down. If they cant even handle standard claims right now then I have no hope for self employment claims.

Once my routine work is done I basically just keep my computer and phone near me to answer questions if they pop up. So I have alot of time to do other things. -
