I also have 2 monitors. My buddy gave me a Windows 7 machine a while back and I used it for a while, but then it started having issues. I took the 27 inch monitor and hooked it up to my laptop.
Sometimes I’ll run a different browser on each screen, so I can be signed in to 2 Ebay accounts at once. This enables me to get a bird’s eye view of my primary store from the other account. In other words, I can see it as my buyers would.
I just downloaded the QuicktextPaste.. Pretty cool for a computer challenged guy like me.
Thanks MEZZ

I have to agree. What’s even more scary is the myriad of justifications, both legal and otherwise, that cancelling the first sale was ok.
Aren’t we at that point lowering ourselves to the level of the unscrupulous buyers?
It’s just a thought…
Everything I have read, indicates the first 4 or 5 words are the most important, but they all count. It is in you best interest to use as many characters in the title line as possible.
They did fully disclose what happened with the denim jacket sale. It’s tough to say what any of us would do if this situation occurred to us. I’d like to think I would take the high road and eat the loss.
The defect and negative feedback will surely be tough to fight. All you have to do is put yourselves in the shoes of the buyer to see that.
Here’s a link to an old forum regarding the same subject. https://www.scavengerlife.com/forums/topic/sold-it-way-too-low-what-would-you-do
I’m curious to see what the majority thinks.
Happy Holidays.
As long as it’s the address that comes up when you print the shipping label and it’s confirmed through Paypal, you should be fine.
For packages going a short distance, Priority Mail is generally less expensive. When you factor in the USPS discounts, it’s even cheaper. You are probably seeing the rates to ship to your own zip code.
Go to one of your active listings and put in different zip codes. This will show you the savings of Smart Post, especially if you live on one of the coasts.

This enables them to greatly reduce costs as well ship quickly.
Great.. Thanks Mike,,
Which Worthpoint service are you using Mike. There are three options and I think it’s time to expand my sources for pricing.. Thanks
I get in line each day I go to the Post Office to get them scanned. If I don’t, sometimes the package won’t get scanned until it hits the delivery city.
It’s funny, I don’t have any of these issues at FEDEX. I just drop it off and every package gets scanned every time.
If you were to get back every six weeks, that’s about 30 business days.. I suppose you could put the permanent store on extended handling time while you’re away and ship like a madman when you come back to check on it. If you needed a little more time, you could make your store inactive for a week or two when you first leave and then put it on extended handling time.
It’s a bit of a hassle, but your inventory would be available all the time.
I suppose you could open a basic (Free) store for the vacation place and just bring easy (small) or quick selling items with you. Depending on how often you’ll make it to the vacation place, you could either end the listing when you leave or play the inactive/extended handling time game with that inventory as well.
It’s just an idea..
I would make sure you talk to someone first and see how they want to handle it. My guess is they may send someone by to pick it up. Sending cash through the mail to an invalid address is a little risky. At a minimum, I’d take out the cash and write them a check.. or give them a note with your contact information.
Good luck.

I just had a buyer leave me 4 positive feedbacks for items purchased on the same day, but only received 1 to my totals. Ebay says I received 4 today and there are 4 individual feedbacks with comments, but my positive number went up by 1.. not 4.
11/10/2017 at 4:03 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 333: The Illusion of Keeping Up With Everything #25407Last month I looked in my change and there was a 1907 Indian head penny.. I thought the days of finding them was gone.. It’s not a lot of value.. but pretty cool.
Did you end up making any progress Ryanne.. or did it just end up creating a big mess that you have to sort through?
I haven’t heard it mentioned on the podcast or here, so I was curious..
Thanks
