I wouldn’t have an issue doing an exchange, either. If they send back the item and it’s not in the original condition, I would call ebay at that point to figure out how to proceed from there. No reason worrying about a problem that hasn’t happened yet. But I have no experience doing exchanges, so I don’t know how to actually “do” an exchange on the ebay system.
Where are you getting the information that “ebay is clear that you don’t have to accept the return”? My experience has been that if you don’t accept the return (INAD or not), ebay will accept it for you in several days.
Don’t worry about it turning into an INAD – there is no way to change the reason of a return.
Personally, I see it as good news whenever I get a return and the buyer said fit was the reason – that means it’s NOT an INAD, and I don’t have to pay for return shipping.
Thanks, Nancy – that makes sense.
It could very easily be a special event at the university. At Princeton University, for example, every year at reunions the major reunions classes dress up according to a theme, so, for example, they get princeton-themed chefs’ hats and aprons made. Another year there were princeton-themed orange hardhats for a construction theme. You get the picture.
For your hat, the only thing that seems off is the brown color – Lamar’s colors seem to be red and blue.what do you guys use magic erasers for typically? I bought a pack and tried them on a few things with no luck. One item was a villeroy and boch plate with some black marks on it – didn’t help at all. Can’t remember the other things I tried it on.
Also – what do you guys use rubbing alcohol for? After hearing a tip, I tried using it to remove marker from the bottom of shoes, but it did nothing.

very well said, ctebay.
I second pythonesk’s comments.
Re: needing scientific proof, I’ll just say that it was science in the 80s and 90s that told people that eating fats was really really bad for you. Being told I was eating the wrong things when I ate half an avocado all at once, and never gave up on egg yolks or butter was frankly pretty annoying. And if you asked me to discuss the details of why I kept eating those things, I wouldn’t have had any super convincing scientific facts for you, b/c I was not any sort of expert. I just had a general sense that eating natural foods should be fine, and that it worked for me. And margarine tasted disgusting to me.
So science is an awesome tool, but scientists don’t always get things right the first few (hundred) times.
“My point is that it’s proven to be healthier when we pull things into the sunlight and discuss. ”
Agreed!
“We love to incorporate things that are proven to work.”
Who doesn’t? It’s certainly a perfectly fine way to go. I’ll call it the late adopter approach. But there were many people getting benefits from meditation, acupuncture, etc, long before they were officially proven to work (call them early adopters), and that’s great, too. Unfortunately, many of them were subject to ridicule for doing so, and my only point here is that I have a beef with that. I wish people were more open-minded about how much we just don’t understand about our world, and stop punishing the early adopters.
“I have no beef for what anyone believes as long as they’re willing to discuss it. If things are real, then there are facts to its existence that we should be able to explore.”
Just because someone doesn’t want to discuss something doesn’t mean that what they believe is not real. And sometimes the only fact that they have or need is “It works for me.” Other facts exist, but may not be currently known. I guess it’s you’re right to have a beef with someone like, but it seems overly harsh to me.

I don’t think the greek alphabet has “j”‘s like the last letters in the first and last names.
Beverly,
I am also glad that you posted about your experiences/spiritual sense. That takes courage, or at least a strong sense of not caring too much about what other people think, both of which are admirable. My own view about such things is that despite all the progress brought to us via science, there are still tons of things about our world that the scientific community (and most people) does not yet understand, and who am I to say which of the “woo woo” things are real and which are not. I mean, acupuncture and chinese medicine in general used to be in the “woo woo” category…yup – Tino is where I got the vaseline idea. I also tried using the black shoe dressing he recommended, and it works pretty well (except that I always end up marking up the edges of the bottom as well), but basically I just don’t feel like doing it anymore. It’s still on my to-do list to try the shoe cleaner liquid he recommended. Maybe I’ll revisit polishing at some point (using the items he recommends) but for right now, it’s still in the “don’t feel like doing it” category. 🙂
1) cheap but sturdy old steel butter knife. This is an all purpose tool, most recently used to get dirt out from between the treads of sneakers and boots.
2) vaseline – for removing prices written in marker from the bottom of shoes with rubber/plastic soles – works 50% of the time
3) fine sandpaper block – remove prices written in marker from the bottoms of shoes with leather soles as well as plastic soles when the vaseline didn’t work
4) Folex – works for removing stains from clothing sometimesI also have a few tins of shoe shine, but I’ve stopped shining shoes for the most part. The most I do these days is wipe with a wet cloth, and wash down plastic soles that are very soiled.
08/02/2018 at 3:24 pm in reply to: Buyer asks to ship to different address than on the account: Do or Don't? #46710From what I remember of previous posts, most people said that it is okay to ship to the new address as long as you have the request it in writing in ebay messages – ebay will back you up. And it sounded like most people did indeed go ahead and comply with the buyer’s request. The only caveat mentioned was that you lose paypal seller protection.
I wouldn’t worry about leaving neutral or negative feedback, just b/c they have a stellar record. That’s what feedback is for, to provide an honest assessment of the seller’s performance. And shipping via a lower class of service than you paid for, particularly when you had communicated the need for fast shipping, is not acceptable.
If you ended up having to purchase another pair for your daughter’s class, then I would ship them back for a full refund. But if your daughter can get use of them, keep them and leave appropriate feedback. If it were me, I would leave negative feedback.
