i’ve never had a single issue shipping to PR. USPS has full tracking there. sold lots of stuff there with no problem. reminds me of the sellers who forever would not ship to HI or AK even though USPS fully tracks and insures packages there.
03/22/2017 at 8:44 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #15043ok i have sent you an email. i’ll try to put it up on the forum here, if not, then i’ll post it to the blog this weekend. thanks!
that’s what i don’t get. the person is like “this thing is horrible!” yet they don’t want a refund and don’t want to return it. most likely, they kept it and just wanted to complain. buyers remorse!!
i just know that when i look up weight/volume conversions on my phone sometimes it says “Gallon (Imperial)” so i knew it was a throwback to British weight/volume standards. nice find, that’s a cool piece.
03/21/2017 at 7:56 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #15017just curious, where did you get that code?
is there a place we can just copy and paste that?
i’d hate to have to type that out.
or you can paste it here using the ‘code’ tag above to insert code like this—-<a href="link.com">03/21/2017 at 7:53 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #15016knowing how to replace screens is a valuable scavenger skill. i found an ipod nano once on the ground with a cracked screen, it still worked great. replaced the screen, sold it for almost $100.
i never put my phone number on CL for texts. i only do email. maybe i’m totally missing out on sales this way? i never thought to actually just put my phone number. i guess i’ll try that!
03/21/2017 at 7:47 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #15015nice. i love old AV equipment manuals (yes, we have a posse!)
03/21/2017 at 7:45 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #15014ok here is how that would work–
we have any cases that would be considered “our fault” (INAD, damage) to require us to approve it.
so buyer says suitcase is damaged.
we ask for a photo.
they never respond w/ photo.
after 30 days (i think that’s the number), the return case automatically closes.
(someone correct me if that’s wrong, but i’m pretty sure that’s happened to me)ah, it was hard to tell what the material was on the photo, it looks like wood or plaster. but if it’s brass, i’m guessing it’s a weight for a scale.
i thought it looked kind of like some sort of a metal file? but that wouldnt make sense if the wheel turns.
03/21/2017 at 3:22 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #14995i sincerely wish that was true for all of our sakes.
03/21/2017 at 3:21 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #14994that’s so weird. because my store shows PR as domestic. so i wonder if that pref you checked off just permanently did something to your listings, which, i hear you, is SUPER annoying. i have sold several things to PR in the last couple months with no issues. it is always funny when you know more than the reps (or the peeps at the post office sometimes too). “i swear puerto rico is a US territory, i’m not lying!” makes you feel crazy sometimes.
03/21/2017 at 3:15 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #14993absolutely, you never want ebay to step in. 99% of the time, they’ll close the case in the buyers favor, and you’ll get a defect. it’s pretty much an automated system. that’s why you always have to call to get it worked out IMHO.
03/21/2017 at 3:13 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #14992yeah, times like that make me hate estate sales too. we’ve had people do stuff like that ‘oh this is too nice to sell’ WHAT! so annoying people.
03/21/2017 at 3:11 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 302: How to Deal with Dreaded eBay Scammers Lurking Everywhere!! #14991or if you’re in the beta returns program, you can dispute the reason for the return if INAD and you disagree and then you don’t have to pay shipping. the price comes out of the refund to the buyer, it’s just a checkbox to say ‘pay return shipping’. something like that.
