Your podcast changed my life. It opened a new way of thinking and seeing the world and the “stuff” around me. Since I found you in 2015 I have listened to episodes 1-527 because I was hungry to learn. Because of you, I have work that I truly love for the first time in life. I have a store of 1600-plus items.
Your attitude and enthusiasm have influenced me the most, especially Ryanne’s bold, unapologetic pricing of your items. Your willingness to work hard and overcome obstacles to live an independent lifestyle has made me want to do the same.
I had my husband listen when he would help me source and you helped him understand what I was doing and inspired him too.
This work can be isolating but your voices helped me know there was someone out there who “gets me” when it comes to how I make my living.
Thank you for being so generous to share your lives, relationship and knowledge with us. You both deserve to be Mayor of Luray. I know you’ll keep succeeding and being a positive influence to those around you. Thank you for all you have done for me.
For anyone who isn’t clear on this, I suggest grabbing a modern book with a barcode on the back cover. Pretend you are going to list it by going to “create a listing” on your seller hub page. When it asks you what you want to list, punch in the ISBN number. The product should pop up and you will be asked if you want to select this product or not. Sometimes there is a stock photo associated with it, sometimes not. eBay asks you if you want the details of this product published with your listing. You can select “see details” to check if the information is correct or not. The most common mistake in the product details that I was finding were hardcovers listed as paperbacks and vice versa. I’ve been using the condition description field to tell buyers if the catalog info is wrong.
This applies not only to books, but to any product where are you enter the UPC code.I’ve been tempted many times to tell people that they are blocked, but I’ve chosen not to because they could get around it by checking out with a guest account or someone else’s account. I just block them and no longer answer their messages.
I did some research and the site says “an unpaid item is recorded on their account” when automatic cancellation for nonpayment happens.
That’s right. Contact information is prohibited before a sale to prevent sales outside of ebay. After a sale it is permitted.
Ebay does not require you to refund the buyer. If USPS says it is delivered, you have no more responsibility. I always try to be polite to the buyer, but no one can make you refund them.
Update:
I called UPS and waited a long time to speak to someone. They took the package information and emailed me claim forms to fill out and mail in. They only accept claims by fax or physical mail. They don’t make it easy but I will let you know if they reimburse me for the breakage.
Just so other know, sellers are not required by ebay or Paypal to refund buyers if the tracking shows delivered. Buyers can complain but their cases will go in the seller’s favor.
The best link I found is this. Select the 1099 forms Tab.
That’s great, @Choppsshop! Just a caution, people will check out under another ID or Guest account if they know you are blocking them. Taking the item down is still a really good idea.
