Your photo did not link properly.
I’m not aware of any way to get that information unless you use one of those services, like Ink Frog or GoDaddy Bookkeeping, that pulls and saves that information for you.
I tried looking at Terapeak, but they don’t give you a way to search by seller.
You will have to go through your emails one by one. I don’t know of any other way.
The next time you go to buy a label, scroll down, and you will see something like this:
Select how to pay
Paying with your pending payouts. Change to PayPalHowever, yours will say Paying with PayPal, and you will need to change it.
Once I changed mine, it stayed that way.
I just listed some full perfume deodorant, but I noticed that some listings say “new 90% full” or some variation thereof. I guess that is true; the stuff that is left is not used otherwise it wouldn’t be there, right?
I have some partially full perfume bottles that I moved to the Other Perfume Collectibles category when I heard about the change in policy. None of my listings have been taken down.
I thought this was only if you were in the guaranteed delivery program. You have to have one day shipping and opt into the program.
12/07/2020 at 6:36 pm in reply to: Shipping page defaults to a more expensive method of shipping. #84063To double-check your sold listing, do a “sell similar” and see what shipping options were offered. If FC was not, then call eBay. They should cover the difference.
Yes, this was mentioned in today’s podcast. I have a case open with funds held as well.
Since I posted just a couple hours ago, I’ve seen two articles about the Queen’s Gambit and the increased sales of chess sets. If you have a chess set in unlisted inventory, get to it! https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/11/27/queen-gambit-chess-interest/
I listed 40 items this week.
I don’t have anything specifically patriotic, but I did list some red, white, and blue items. I’m counting things that are that single color (might come with other colors, but at least one is a solid red, white, or blue); not something with a design that has other colors in it. So, a white platter counts, but a white pedestal server with a fruit design on it doesn’t.
How about an item that is made in the USA? I assume not, but I figure I’d ask.
Does this all make sense? If so, I listed 6 items that meet the challenge.
For a few weeks, I’ve been reading about a new show called “The Queen’s Gambit” that apparently has something to do with chess. Then, I heard about how chess sets were selling out quickly causing a shortage. Sometimes, it takes me a bit to put two and two together, but I have two unlisted marble chess sets in my basement. Guess what I’ll be working on this week?

Number of items listed this week: 40Good week as the holiday purchasing season is full on. In general, people don’t buy from me as much for holiday gifts, but more like housewares such as dishes and serving plates. I can get that ceramic stuff very cheap, but it is more of a pain to ship. I wanted to cut back on breakables when I started my part time job, but I just love the ROI.
And another shout out to Antique Frog! He helped me with a small ceramic piece from England this past week as well. He knows his stuff!
Yes, it is a cool piece, and I learned some interesting stuff. Antique Frog certainly knows much about items coming from his neck of the woods (and elsewhere).
I’ve listed it at $21, which is a bit high considering its condition. I wrote way too much in the description, but maybe that will help me sell it at the higher price.
AF – Yes, I agree that it looks like it was originally used as a food container, but I had been thinking of it having a plug maybe made from cork. A paper lid makes more sense. A meat paste (however gross) makes sense given the hunting scene design; although, mustard is good with meat as well. I agree with it being a transfer type design, but I’ll take your word for the lithography vs copper plate.
So, when I search with the word “jar” instead of vase or bottle, I suddenly started coming up with matches. Here is one that sold recently for $25 (and it is in better condition), and others for sale in the $15 range. I was hoping for more, but it is what it is. I’ll have to research more on Prattware.
12/04/2020 at 10:18 pm in reply to: Miniature Serving Set with Coffee pot, tureen, vegetable pot, pitcher #83999I would just list it as a vintage miniature porcelain set doll size.
I would just describe it as it is and not include where it was made. Not everything I get is marked, so I decide whether to list it or not based on whether I think it is worth something and if someone would be interested in buying it.
12/04/2020 at 9:46 am in reply to: So Dak souvenir placemats, Fiberglass chairs, Onkyo CD changer, Nut bowl #83968My biggest sales last week were on commission for a family friend whose wife passed away at the beginning of 2019. He gave me a bunch of flatware, and I found one set of sterling when I started listing it all. I’m pretty sure my buyer was filling in holes in her set because she wanted a certain number of salad forks, dinner forks, and teaspoons. Here is the listing for the salad forks:

The other item was this designer made glass vase. I have sold a number of these vases from this designer. Our family friend must have collected them.
