Oh cool.. nice area. I’m down in Long Beach.
You can exclude any country you want to from the GSP. If you have business/shipping policies set up, you do it there, otherwise it should be in your settings. You can exclude entire regions, or one country at a time.
Nice find, I think those are the days we all live for, it’s kind of like finding buried treasure at the bottom of box lots.. Cool

I did the working capital thing a couple of months ago. I borrowed $1000 at the 30% payback and paid it off in 45 days. The total cost was $21. I couldn’t be happier with the process and results. Good Luck..
Now that you’ve accepted the return, the clock starts. If the buyer doesn’t ship the item within 5 days, you can get Ebay to close the case in your favor, without any fear of retribution.
I generally just issue the partial refund through Paypal directly.
Are you going to ship First Class International? or Priority only, in addition to GSP?
I tend to agree, his last message indicated he is willing to pay the amount from the first sale, but he wants free shipping.. to Germany. He’s obviously not my buyer.

If you are going to end the listing, you probably want to edit it first to eliminate any reference to “Cutco”. This way it won’t show up as a completed listing and haunt you in the future.
10/05/2017 at 1:49 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 329: 200+ Ebay Sales To Pack. We’re Not Complaining. #23620I had the same situation with one shipment. When I called Ebay, they said I had to speak to a certain department and the hold time was pretty long. I said “never mind.” and hung up. A few days later it was mysteriously fixed…
When you contact the buyer, you can give them the option of purchasing the item with a discount or tell them “you’d be happy to cancel the sale with a 100% refund”. If they want to cancel the sale, you can then cancel the sale at the buyer’s request and avoid the defect.
Another option would be to send the buyer the item anyway with a full refund. It will cost a couple of bucks, but will get you a bunch of Goodwill.
Good Luck.
You have three months to use it, so I wouldn’t be in a big rush to make a decision. You may find, that you’ll be running out of something before the end of the year.
Otherwise Mezz has a great idea regarding the tape.

You may be able to take a loan against your 401K. The interest you pay back, goes directly into your account. The loan is for anything you want. I have a friend who has taken out 401K loans to invest in properties. You are generally limited to 50% of the value of your 401K account. You can make a call to your Human Resources department for details, but 401K loans are fairly common.
There are also ways to use an IRA to invest in real estate. I don’t know that flipping houses, would qualify, but it is a possibility.
I won’t go into the obvious risks of leveraging your retirement accounts for these types of ventures. I think we are all adults and understand them.
Good Luck.

The two exceptions may be FEDEX Smartpost and USPS Media mail, but the rates for these, are so cheap that I can’t complain.
What size of a discount do you think is reasonable?
