That is a gorgeous hex sign, Sharyn! Great find.
I don’t think there’s a way for the buyer to cancel the transaction after you’ve already shipped out the item, so I wouldn’t worry too much about this at this point. Keep us posted. I’m curious to see how this works out.
Yesterday I got a package returned to me b/c of “problem with address”, and the buyer paid to get it re-shipped.
I just let them sit as well until they auto-close. I agree with what Julie B says above.

I had no idea the bulk editor could change price by a percentage – interesting.
congrats! That is an awesome find and sale.
you would get an email.
I don’t know if it’s on the ebay invoice or whether it’s just directly through paypal.05/29/2018 at 2:05 pm in reply to: Selling my vintage stuff on Etsy to diversify and pay less fees…Worth it or no #41203Thanks for your perspective, Habnab. Your comment solidifies my decision to not try out etsy anytime soon. I simply don’t enjoy and am not very good at creating evocative narratives and magazine-quality photos.
Just catching up on last week’s podcast. I had the same experience as the caller wrt using flat rate boxes for non-flat-rate priority shipping. It was fine for a while, used the priority stickers to block out the “flat rate box” text. But then last time I did it I got charged later on for the difference. Not sure whether I will try it again, this time blocking out the blue bar code. We’ll see. I don’t like breaking the rules. Just sometimes those FR boxes are the exact size I need!
Yes, I looked it up and did see a number of references to it growing up north. Next I just have to find some 🙂
Or plant one.cool! I love berries but have never heard of this one before. I’ll have to investigate whether they are also prevalent up in the northeast…
Enjoy!

Your positive experience with it is what is most encouraging to me.

05/22/2018 at 11:19 pm in reply to: Can't do partial refunds on damaged clothing if you don't offer free returns? #40758Yeah – I saw that there were exceptions (hence my focus on clothing here), but where did you find that info on the partial refunds for damaged for the exception categories being limited to 10-20%?
I just did some more research, and even if you do offer free returns, the guidance for how much of a partial refund to give isn’t so great either. If the item is returned damaged and “without essential parts” – recommended partial refund of 50-60%! What!? Why is there no option for 0% refund?
search for “poor condition” on this page to see where I’m getting that:
https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/managing-returns-refunds/handling-return-requests?id=4115#partialAs I keep trying to remind myself – just gotta raise prices to cover my new costs.
It will be very interesting to compare the stories of free returns folks with non-free returns folks over the next 6 months.

All that is being asked is to post a URL that links to the exact ebay text you are referring to. Or if it is a short piece of text, just cut and paste it in quotes.
