Just to be clear, an Instapot and a Pressure Cooker are NOT the same.
The Instapot is not designed to be used for Pressure Canning. Instapots are regulated by temperature, where pressure canners are regulated by pressure.
If you are just cooking, they are the same. But if you want to do canning of vegetables, soups, stews, or meat, you have to have a Pressure Cooker.
Yep. Take a small flashlight if you have too. Suits have to be PERFECT to sell well…
100% Agree Jay. That is how we handle our Store Categories as well. We have a Clearance Store category as well. Sometimes we put items in that category and put it on 50% to 75% off for items we just want to blow out.
Winchester, I think those are great questions, and a good mindset: wait and see.
For my perspective, when 90% of the business world is on 30-60 day terms, even waiting 2 weeks for Amazon is way ahead of the game…
FYI on Etsy… the default is to be paid once per week, but you can change that to daily. We did.
Yep. Better to be right.
You can probably do a lot of other digging on Dr. Google and see how others have dealt with this in GA. Other than that, I would ask a Tax Expert on Georgia law.
Or like you said…exclude GA from your sales and you don’t have to worry about it!
I am not a Tax Accountant, and I don’t pretend to play one on the internet.
I am an accountant and former Controller though, so I do have some experience in this area. Basically…looks like it sucks to be in Georgia.
In Colorado where we are, we have a state rate and as long as I don’t deliver to an address in our County, I can charge a single state rate.
But looks like in Georgia, you are supposed to charge the rate based on their address. Not good.
TBH, I doubt that you will be big enough to hit their radar, and I would see if you can contact a tax accountant to figure it out. Outside of that, I would charge the higher rate and remit at the higher rate. Do you remit to the state and the state files in their location? Or do you have to file in each location?
Yeah, lots of issues here. I would really contact a tax accountant to navigate through this.
Yeah, I heard that on eBay radio this morning. Wanting to expand and get more of the big guys in EGD.
I was glad we went to Shippo, since they use Cubic Pricing for Priority (the highest discounted rates, even better than eBay Commercial Plus). So it pays to look at other shipping companies.
I would contact them to ask if they can explain why it was returned just to have a dialogue with them. But since you received the item, refund them and relist.
You won’t get your fees back, but don’t worry about it. Make things easy on the customer and just refund them since you received the item back.
CTVintage: the best advice I could give is to try and ignore the daily cycles. And that is hard, as we still get bothered too. Focus on what you can control: list a lot, find quality items that people want, buy low.
We have had a $100 sales day and a $400 sales day back to back. Can’t predict when things will sell, but if you are doing the right things, they will.
For us, this was our best January ever.
Total sales were $10,024, an 86% increase over January 2017, and (barely) keeps us at four straight months of Total Sales being over $10k.
I track our Page View data (every day) from the Traffic Page, and have saved that data in a spreadsheet. I created a line graph so that we can see the visual of how our shoppers are looking at our items. Every year since 2014 has the same curves.
From a high in early to mid-December, we drop until mid to late January. Increase again until around mid-March, then a slow drop into mid-August, then the large upswing to mid-December again.
Probably. Many people overreact to these types of things, instead of finding the facts and charting a course to success.
Based on scale (and wanting some float), I would bet eBay pays out weekly at the earliest. Could be wrong, but that is where I put my money.
Christine: You are correct. The first shipping option is the main one on your listing.
See if you can use your Business Policies to make a mass change. We have something similar with SixBit (Presets). We removed SmartPost late last week from all our listings until I hear that this is resolved.
