For what it’s worth, I have a box full of cables, power adapters etc. I put like items, RCA cables, Ipod cables etc in Ziplock bags. That way I can easily find what I’m looking for and I no longer have the dreaded tangled mess. If it’s not obvious, I’ll put a small tag inside of the bag, with the name on it.
This is for personal use, but could easily be done with sale items too.
Good Luck

Hope this helps.
Wow, you found the item.
You went the extra mile to make up for the cancelled sale.
It sounds like this guy is a bit grumpy and not worth dealing with. You’ve already got the negative. It’s unlikely he’s going to change it, regardless of your actions.
I wouldn’t send him anything for free at this point. Zero, Nada have a nice day.
Block him and relist it.. maybe even cheaper.. I know, I know asking for trouble. The smart adult move would be to do what others say and list it later on or just not at all. Who needs the drama.
I had a negative revised a couple of years ago. Basically, I apologized for doing nothing wrong, let her keep the item and gave her a 100% refund. When it was all said and done, I didn’t feel it was worth the hassle to get it reversed.
You’ve got to love a buyer, who has no problem leaving the first negative. on your account.
I’d block the guy and then list list list. Life is too short.
Good Luck.
Per the Sixbit site one of the requirements is a CPU with a Passmark score of 3500 or greater. There’s a link to the site with the scores of all the processors.
I’m running a $250 Celeron Laptop with Windows 8.1 and would need to upgrade, according to the list.
Is this a actually a requirement or more like a recommendation?
Thanks
Are you using business (shipping) policies. If so you’ll have a default. I recommend making the default First Class Mail.
Otherwise I agree with Jay. It’s best to send the item.
Good luck.
Fair enough…
I’ll see if this guy responds to my last message, otherwise I’ll just go silent. In a few days, he won’t be able to leave feedback anyways (I think).
He’s still got other options, item not received or Paypal refund etc, but I will deal with those if and when they happen.
Many many years ago I had a buyer from South America buy a “Local Pick Up” item and pay with Bidpay, which was like a Western Union cashiers check. He never showed up for it, but back then Ebay was a different place entirely.
Life is an adventure, hopefully it never becomes too boring.
Thanks again..
There’s some kind of drama going on between the buyer and the woman he expects to pick it up for him. I figure my life is busy enough, that I don’t need to make their problems part of it.
I appreciate the comments and agree with them.
I was curious if anyone knew how long after the sale, Ebay would allow me to cancel it (at buyer’s request). I no longer see the option in the drop down menu.
It’s not a big deal and if I need to, I’ll take the steps and figure it out when the time comes.
The members of this forum have so much experience, I was looking for a “been there, done that” type of response, regarding the length of time to cancel.
Thanks again for the responses.
Happy Friday..
It’s a long story. He paid and is having a friend pick it up and send it to him.
His friend is evidently a busy person. She made one appointment and did not show up, call or anything. She said she “Overbooked Herself” for that day. She has no car and relies on public transportation.
Another time she was going to come by, but didn’t realize it would take so long to get here and she had a day party to go to that day. Based on other conversations I’ve had with her, I don’t believe the pickup is ever going to happen.
I’m waiting to hear back from the buyer to see what he wants to do. It’s not a very expensive item, but based on size, weight and the possibility of a return I chose not to ship it.
I bought a pair of Brooks Ghost 8 Running shoes (worn 3 times). I had a pair given to me before and wore them out walking and hiking.
These retail for up to $150.00, but can usually be found on Ebay for about $100 including shipping.
I bought mine at auction for $22 plus $13 shipping. You got to love auctions.
What a variety of cars and vehicles. Great responses by everyone.
I considering getting a used van and am thinking about an old Ford Aerostar van, strictly for hauling.
Around here they are pretty cheap.
They have a 6 cylinder engine, so the fuel mileage won’t be horrible. They are rear wheel drive drive, so they should be more durable and cheaper to repair. They also seem to go last long time if treated right.
They are a tad bigger than a lot of minivans, but not quite a full sized van.
I’m probably keeping my station wagon, so I don’t need the perfect everyday vehicle.
Do any of you have any experience with this van. They were last made in 1997. Most of the information online has been positive. The biggest complaint has been ride and comfort. That’s not a big deal to me.
Thanks
There is a local company that sells the huge rolls of bubble wrap for a reasonable price. At first, I didn’t want to spend the money, but it is just so convenient and takes up such little space that it’s a homerun.
I get a discount if I buy them four at a time for $88.00 total out the door. Last time I did this, I resold two of them for $35 each. My net cost was $18 for 1500 sq feet plus gas and time.
I also have a dedicated shipping area. It’s a must if you’re dealing with volume and anything other than small easy items.
Yes, selling large or oversize items, is clearly a choice.
The more often you cut and resize boxes, the better you’ll be at it.
I used a metal straight edge (1/2 of a yardstick) and a small pairing knife. I resize a lot of boxes, sometimes just to save my packing materials.
New boxes are the easiest to work with and store. Having known sizes also means you don’t have to go on the hunt, searching and checking.
I buy cheap packing tape in bulk, so how much I use, is never an issue.
Whenever possible, I use newspaper to pack with, but have a variety of supplies, bubble wrap, stretch wrap styrofoam etc. They all take up space.
Life is about choices..
Good Luck
I’d put something in the picture next to it for scale, like maybe a baseball. I’d also take a picture of it sitting on a scale, with the digital readout visible. You really can’t rely on buyers to read the detail part of the listing.
Good luck with it.
Well, I received the shoes back from buyer one. I could have used an Ebay label to send the correct ones, but I think I would have ended up with a late shipping defect. I ended up paying retail and sent her the shoes she ordered. I sent the tracking number through Ebay messages.
Once the tracking showed delivered, I called Ebay and they closed the return case in my favor.
Buyer two was very happy to repurchase the shoes I had sent to buyer one in error.
Done is Done.. Lesson learned by me.
