i have the dymo 450 and i love it. i print my packing slips on my laser printer and also int’l and FedEx Smartpost on the laser. USPS gets printed on the Dymo, i know that’s a little wonky, but it works great for me.
welcome!
this is the “one last personal appeal” message we send people–
We’re going to try one last personal appeal on the (insert item here) you bought. You made us an offer, we accepted, and are now waiting payment.
If you’ve changed your mind or need more time to pay, we simply need to hear from you. We’re reasonable. Your lack of communication will hold up this item for over a week while we wait for the unpaid item process to complete. If you don’t want it, at least let us sell it to someone else.
I see that you’ve bought items on eBay before, so you are not an amateur eBayer. Please respect this process and pay for the item you bought.
yep i got mine off ebay, works great!
yep, this is the link to the page (i think you have to scroll down a bit to see where you can send offers). i just sent a few, maybe it will work?
thanks for sharing! that is nice to see.
winter came early to the mid-west. it was so cold in chicago!

Hi,At work, my boss asked why I was walking around the office in my socks. That’s because I had just discovered that my Ecco shoes with “Vibram” soles disintegrate like the Dansco shoes, leaving a trail of sole crumbs behind me.
About MLMs… Not ALL of them are unsustainable…. While 99% of people who join a MLM company ultimately fail to realize the touted benefits, my father is one of those 1% who signed up a relative who went absolutely gangbusters with building her business 35 years ago. She promoted the household and nutritional products and was a very likable person. She really dind’t build much of a downline at all. Her business has survived her and her son now essentially is an order-taker for her customers. The residual income my 70 year-old father receives for signing her up as well as the work he did decades ago is his primary source of income to this day (certainly more than Social Security pays) and he probably spends no more than 5 hours a week on it. The company is one of the few MLMs that have stood the test of time because their nutritional products are very high quality and some buyers are very loyal.
That said, I think its’ days are numbered because buyers of the products who re-ordered by making a (primarily social) call over the phone to their friendly MLM distributor for decades are literally dying off. This MLM company bans distributors from selling on eBay and Amazon because it threatens their business model. People try anyways and the company is usually quite quick to initiate VERO takedowns (which I believe is a violation of the federal “first-sale” doctrine). e-commerce is here to stay and that MLM company founded in 1915 can’t resist that for much longer.
If you think about it, MLM was an early form of affiliate marketing, applied in a social context. Nowadays, we have “Social Media Influencers” who are paid based on the sales their recommendations generate. Virtually nobody claims that affiliate marketing is a pyramid scheme, scam and unsustainable business model. The key differentiatior is that affiliate marketing focuses on promotion of others’ products, not the promotion of the “business opportunity” of getting paid residual income for getting new people to buy a MLM distributorship. Legitimate MLM companies sustain the business model by selling products that people want to consume, much like Chick Fil A does and the sale of franchises / distributorships is NOT the primary source of income. There aren’t many, but a few time-tested MLMs actually operate like that.
i have a huge stash of nailpolish (that we mentioned when we bought it a couple years ago) and i’ve listed it as 1,4,6 and 10. a handful of times, i’ve sold in multiples. 99% of people just want one. your item might be different, nailpolish tends to last a long time, but if you have something that might run out faster and used daily like lip or eye stuff, you might want to try a couple listings of quantity.
yep we ended our bonanza store. there were a ton of glitches with scheduled listings showing up there when they were not yet public on ebay. they had no way to fix it, it was really annoying.
i had ebay remove a neutral the other day because it said “great, thanks” and they gave me all 5 stars, never asked for a refund or even messaged me about any issues or at all. they said, ‘yeah that looks like a mistake, we’ll remove it’. so i’m thinking if you show that you offered a refund, and the person has a record of 50% neg/neutral feedback, that they’ll remove it. let us know!
this looks similar, and we’ve had some like this in the past and i’ve described it similarly.
those are cookies, ebay follows what you look at and will show you ads for things. so it’ not universal, it’s tailored to you.
somewhat unrelated but, how cool–
sorry, i see you know the logo, must have missed that. weird!
