sorry, didn’t mean to be snippy. yeah we are planning some stuff, mostly TBD. but there is a 3 bedroom apartment up top that will be a vacation rental as well.
i’ve had that happen before too when a buyer asks to have the art removed from the frame after packing, doh! i guess we should all message a buyer before we ship art, i always forget too.
one time a lady asked me to remove the frame and mat, so i did. then she opened an INAD case because she didn’t like the art without the frame and mat. what??
yeah it started working again for me too, but i had to re-purchase another label for it to print. when i click on Void Label for the first one, it says Smartpost doesnt get charged until it’s gets scanned, so it shouldn’t be a problem. weird!
i’m not sure anything is “way off topic” for this thread at this point since it degraded into quoting Better Off Dead the movie. which is clearly, partly my fault ; )
what were the options you chose for the $2 shipping to UK?
i’ve never seen that price.Does it make a sale happen? No. Can it improve your chances? Possibly.
you made my point. the answers are “No” and “Possibly (but we may never know for sure)”. so we just list it and forget it (99% of the time).
will analyzing old listings help make sales happen? gps and fuel for a road trip will certainly assist in getting us cross country. but we’re talking about a vehicle (ebay) that we have little to no control over. we list random, odd, unique stuff and hope that it sells. for 10 years it has.
the basis for your formula is the assumption that we have control over the platform, which we don’t. sure we have control over how our listings and prices are presented (though not on how or if they’re found through search).
the list it and forget it idea came from these very types of conversations. the question is do we consider listings stale if they have been sitting for a while? sometimes, but mostly not.
sell the blank ones to someone who wants vintage stationary to send.
sell the written ones to people who collect ephemera.what a great find!! i would love to see these when they’re listed.
