#Commonwealthflipper #garagesales #yardsales - Jak na to + styl
Goodwill prices have indeed gotten insane. I've seriously considered standing on the sidewalk outside of Goodwill with a sign saying "I pay CASH for your donations! See me before you donate to Goodwill!". I figure I could grab the good stuff, pay the person money for stuff they were willing to just give away, and then they can donate whatever is left to Goodwill.
😂
Because they know what y’all doing duh 🤦 it’s not obvious
ARC in the same store, same item, one in horrible condition $10.00 one unused/light use $1.99. Willy-nilly pricing?
I had a buyer cancel an order. She said "please cancel, child can't have." I cancelled the order and she left neutral feedback. If a buyer cancels an order they shouldn't be able to leave feedback.
Did you contact ebay? A Buyer cannot leave a feedback for an item they never received and ebay will remove it. But you do have to contact ebay to have it removed. I experienced the same thing and ebay did remove it. Good Luck.
Id even go further to say that Ebay should encourage communication between parties and penalize failure to do so. Never in the real world does a buyer get a platform to defame a small buisness before communicating with said buisness first. I have like 4 negatives from buyers who never even tried reaching out and it looks really obvious what Ebay is doing. Its about $. Has to be.
@@joedoughty4171 Not exactly true--Yelp reviews are famous for this. But your point is valid nonetheless.
I got two neutrals recently, both for mistakes the buyer made. I sell antique German animals, and I list their size in cm and inches. I photograph next to a ruler and a soda can. Two customers complained that the animals were smaller than expected. I get neutrals because they don't know what 4 inches look like? And Ebay is totally unhelpful -- they won't change feedback, no matter how ludicrous it is, apparently. The system should be overhauled -- customers leave neutral or negative feedback because they're not happy with their own decision to buy an item. That is unfair.
People get too wrapped up in 100% feedback. You can't please everyone, who cares if someone leaves a neutral or neg. If you sell hundreds or thousands of items a neg won't hurt. It's a total waste of time sitting on the phone with eBay or talking to chat, if someone see your feedback they can tell a pita buyer by the feedback left.
I feel for you, I received a negative saying that he had unauthorized charges on his card after purchasing from eBay. I requested a revision kindly stating we as sellers do not have any access to payments on eBay. He then changed it to neutral and eBay said it doesn’t violate their terms so they won’t remove it, even though it is clearly not a reflection on our store. Completely arbitrary rule and a slap in the face when we work hard for a 100% positive feedback score.
I had a lady that left me very good written feedback and then left left a negatve " card scammer". Well I never had anything to do with her card and eBay even realized that I dont have any way to freaking scam her card.They left the negative and did take away the" card scammer " words. There went my 100 % positive feedback for a year.😢
I got one last week. The lady bought some Maybelline matte lipstick. Maybelline was so proud of this Matte lineup that they put the word "Matte" in every color name! The lady left me neutral feedback because she said in her comment that the lipstick wasnt Matte and comes off on her coffee cup..like I have control over that🤷♂️ She should have saved that review for Maybelline! 😂
That is just so mean and petty of that person!
She thought matte meant "long-lasting" or "24-hour wear" . Nothing you can do about idiots.
@@OriginalNethead ain’t that the truth! Bless her heart! 😁
I went from spending $15,000 to $20,000 plus a year in Goodwill to very little in the last year or so. They're pricing resellers out of the store, which is their right as a business. The problem is 60% of the people I'd see in the Goodwill were resellers... so... I still go so I can count the mileage on my trips to town, but I find myself walking out with one item or less a lot now as opposed to 10 to 15 items just a few years ago.
Same. I would walk in a store and have an overflowing buggy in 10 minutes.
Goodwill was founded to serve the low-income demographic, but the organization has strayed so far from that purpose. Now it's more about competing with resellers than serving the low-income demographic.
They were founded to provide funds for their own missions such as creating jobs and job training. They are losing money by not catering to the lower income population AND the resellers
Me too. I have all the receipts to prove it too. That was a long time ago though. I spent most of it at the bins too. Hung out there from open to close almost daily, for years. Everyone knew my name.
@@rashellegallegos4335 Their mission changed before ebay. It just got sped up. But they were already going mainstream.
If your shed blows away, remember to click your heels and say ‘there’s no place like home.’
😂
That's funny Dorothy!
Regional Goodwill sent a text saying, "lower prices on key items." Walked in and saw a plain blue t-shirt marked $6.99 and walked out. They still sometime miss things, but generally are too overpriced.
Our Goodwill had $75 on a used pr. of men's work boots about 50-65% worn out. They are nuts around here.
The irony here is, someone looking for cheap items to resell for profit is complaining that the nonprofit goodwill store want's a bigger cut. Gotta love America lol
@@WhoDatBenny " nonprofit".. yeah right. Those "not for profit " executives give themselves 6 and 7 figure annual salaries.
Our Goodwill is gotten crazy. Perfect example is an unsealed Michael Jackson Thriller album that sells for 10 bucks at most they had priced at 75 dollars. I laughed out loud. The girl running the register said yeah i told them idiots in the back they were crazy 😂
It sold about 85 million copies - it must be really valuable! 😀😀😀
I just got a neutral feedback for a coin I sent to Germany. The neutral feedback was basically about the carrier not knocking on the door, rather leaving it in mailbox. I asked the buyer to revise the feedback, which they did. They changed it to positive, but then added that the coin had "milk spots" lol Got to love Ebay!
Mischievous kitty is adorable 😍
Kevin if goodwill keeps raising prices it gonna bite them in there butts
the moment people stop buying from goodwill the sooner they will get the message...but goodwill is promoted by every reseller as a good thing but it is not is like any other money hungrey company...
I buy great items & low prices at my local Goodwill so I won’t stop buying from them . They are independent owned . All we have here in NE Ga is Goodwills . Most donation goes there & I buy new products from all retail areas . We have a large mall of Ga & outlets near us
Its funny how many stories we can remember of how much we paid and where we got stuff, often quite the backstory to finding an item months or even years later.
Then i forgot to bring the garbage to the road this morning.
that's exactly how it is with me. I remember my scores from 20 years ago like it was yesterday. But I can't hardly remember much of anything else, when I need to.
I was told by the empolyees the managers are now required to look things up on ebay before they price them and anything worth more than $50 goes to their online store.
I think it's $20 here.
Yes - In Chicago, Goodwill charges $29-59 for used shoes ... $24 for pants - often prices are higher than online/original retail. Goodwill has lost its mission of providing good deals to making as much profit as possible.
Prices seem crazy in some places but In all honesty their mission isn’t to give good prices.
@@commonwealthflipper I meant to provide poor people reasonable deals who are trying to rebuild their life
Our local GWs have a different mission. Their mission to make money to support various educational programs they provide the handicapped. It has never been about selling things cheap to the needy. At least it hasn't been since I have been going in them around here.
Goodwill is tough. Really takes patience.
Stormy Kromer family owned & operated made in Ironwood Michigan! Stormy was a railroad man and semi pro baseball player in the turn of the century (1900s). I'm in my sixties and have a photo of my grandfather sporting a Kromer when my mom was a tot.
I went to a goodwill to look at glass and cups - found a nice pair of frosted vintage mugs from a small town in california with no price tag on them, brought them to the register and the guy up there said "these are going to be $20 each because of the gold rims" and I about choked he was like "yeah unfortuantely its the gold rims" and it was a quick no. from me.. it's gotten out of hand considering they receive their goods for free
The "trick" with Goodwill is you have to be smarter/more knowledgeable than the person doing the pricing. Generally, I find Goodwill is a lousy place to source, as their prices are high, really high. Occasionally I do find deals in the clearance center (pound/bin store). Sales here are on fire too. Had my first $1000 day. My average is $2000/month, so getting half a month' worth of sales in one day was great.
It’s a shame, they get all the items for free and mark it up so much, that even the poor people can’t purchase items. Crazy world we live in. Everything has value, but when they try to sell things at retail prices, it’s a no go for me. Goodwill sucks. I’m happy that it’s yard sale season. My goodwill is doing two discounts on Sunday. They do 50% on one color and 75% off another color. I guess my store is testing this out. I still like the bins. Have a great day. Love your channel!!
Boy do I remember the good old days of the Goodwill. Especially the bins. They were only 39 cents a pound when I first discovered them and they didn't sort through anything back then. And the donations came straight to that store, not to other Goodwills first. Talk about the wild west.
My local Goodwill operates under the same region as yours.. They had got outrageous with their pricing, and their sales started suffering. A few weeks ago the regional managers came in and told them to price things more reasonably. Some things are still pretty ridiculous, but overall it has been more fairly priced
Our local GWs have not only raised prices, they no long have sales. In the past, Wednesday was senior day (30%off). Older (different each week) color tags were 50% off and once a month they had the entire store on sale 50% off. Now nothing, they have some sort of plan where you have a tag and after you spend so much (north of $20) they give you a small discount. That's it. Another problem is the stores are full of junk. If they get any good donations they are selling them elsewhere. To make a long story short, I seldom buy anything at GW these days.
Love the buckle from my home town!
I like your cabins, they are fascinating and different than many other sellers' garages. Love your content also. Regards from Calgary, Canada
I hate the no questions asked ebay return policy. I get burned for shipping to and from! 😮
Your wife is hilarious. Just like me and my southern ways. Lol. Thank you for sharing your reselling journey with all of us.
Our Goodwill has a lot of new products more so than used products. Also one of our favorite Thrifts stores have new managers and their prices are now insane. Way above eBay prices
I have 20+ Goodwills to choose from and their prices from store to store are all over the place. Some stores are way cheaper than others.
I love both of your channels and get caught up when you go to garage sales. I looked around and hours have fone by 😂
Goodwill has quite a business plan. While they are technically a 501C3 (not-for-profit), the management make very good money, while they in many cases pay less than federal minimum wage to their employees, under the guise of providing "training." Imagine opening a retail store where all your merchandise is free!
And they have the audacity to ask if you want to round up your change .
I like this format much better
The Goodwills in my city stopped giving Seniors discounts period about 2 yrs ago.. They lost a LOT of business because of that stupid decision. I have not shopped there since. I am happy to report my June sales have been steady thanks to you Kevin. I believe the shout out you gave me made all the difference. Thank You so much!!!
Closed my ebay store going to sell on other venues, tired of being ripped off ebay just as bad as goodwill. Glad it's just a hobby leave it to those could need it to feed their family.
It’s cool to see you also do Cary’s advice/motto, when in doubt, part it out.
In the UK we have Charity shops who pay no business rates, dont pay for their stock and pays only manager wages. They sell at silly prices and sometimes new stock in competition to small local business. Charity starts at home. Items goto land fill if they do not sell at the set price....just not right!
Went yesterday and saw a Starbucks mug for 29.99. Looked online and it sales for 9.99 plus shipping. There were listings for 29.99, but none sold at that price. I stick to 1/2 off days or color of the week.
I love Goodwill sticker shock, when $2 day comes around those items are usually still there. I just grabbed like 10 Vera Bradley new with tags. That were marked up $25-35 for 2 bucks a piece.
Wow, we don't have $2 sales. Only the color of the week. That would be great.🙁
@lisad1623 we have color of the week as well. But on Thursdays that color drops to $2. I'm in Arizona. I've scooped up wake boarding boots that had marked for $100 for $2. If it sits for the 8 week color cycle. They want it out of there. And they don't have bins locally to send it too. So I go early in the week to eye things and then go back Thursday to see if it's still there.
Ours doesn’t do color sales or senior discounts. No sales of any kind.
@commonwealthflipper that's just trash. I utilize what I mentioned here and they have Veterans & student discount on Sundays
Goodwill and even my church thirft have raised prices. Its a shame. I see folks who cannot pay those prices. I even told a man to go next door to big lots to grab new pants and shirt for lower price than Goodwill had. He did.
Haven't been to goodwill since last year. I use to spend thousands annually but that changed when all the good items stopped coming out.
My granddaughter would love that cow .
Kevin, Stormy Kromer is a company in the Michigan UP. Has a great resale value.
Yep. I live just a few miles south of the UP in Northern WI and that's well known around here. Great hats!
@@uwsupergirl I own a number of them. I have photos of my grandpa wearing them in the 30s. Not to mention my dad. I'm originally from the south shore of Lake Superior.
Those Stormy Cramer caps retail for $50 they still make them and are great winter hats
May was pretty good for me. June is so so. But still making sells.
Yes since Jan 12 neutral some like didn't like the style vintage wool sweater is heavy
Funkos can be great, you just have to know which ones and categories. Horror is a fantastic category overall. Sports, especially mascots, can be very good too, as well as some music Pops.
I have all the Disney VHS movies that were my daughter's. 😊
My Goodwill prices are horrible here in Florida. I went to Salvation Army today. Spent like an hour came out with nothing very expensive. WORSE
Recently got back from FL. Was tempted… but not that tempted bc I drove straight past their Goodwill… twice 🤓
Our Goodwill has been running a sale this summer. Each week clothes with a certain color tag is half price. I know they may do this at other Goodwills but normally don’t at ours. Anyway, it has actually made it worth going in. We are spoiled here I know. I travel to Florida or other states and can’t believe thrift store prices! Our SA is still $1.98/ shirts except for special items. I know we are lucky.
I LOVE rain
My local goodwills never have anything good. Its all online and they sell it for dam near ebay prices. I used to buy in bulk or combine lots to try to make something, but after their "handling fees" and overpriced shipping charges, the profit is gone and I havent even made it to ebay!
My June sales are up! Yesterday I broke even with my May sales
It really depends on the region. My town is alright. 100 miles north, there is nothing
Had a few neutral feedbacks in the last year, a couple about USPS taking forever to get the items to them and 1 where the game worked but took a while to load.
I took my mom for a quick trip to the Cali coast and of course hit up some Goodwills along the way. I notice they are selling more new items (Family Dollar type items) and everything was expensive (9.99 for t-shirts). I did better at some of the community thrifts in the area, I found a Scooby Doo Fiesta mug which I had no idea existed! My last neutral feedback was due to the buyer not liking that I sent the item in an Amazon box when they purchased from eBay.🤷♀️
I send EVERYTHING in Amazon boxes. I also have a sticker on the box saying something about saving the planet with This box. I currently am selling stuff off from my home and really don’t have money for new boxes. Is it clean? ✔️ Is it sturdy? ✔️ am I keeping it out of the landfill a little bit longer? ✔️ Reusable box it is then.
Most of the goodwills in my area are under the same umbrella but there e small differences in pricing. They’ve made some changes recently that stink, no more gold member discounts 😢
I rarely go in a Good Will any longer. The closest to me is about an hour away but I used to go when I was in that town but it is so ridiculous with their prices that it is not even worth the effort. Plus I Have a big issue with that goodwill writing prices with a Sharpie marker or items that it won't come off of such as a back pack!! On the fabric!! Absurd!
Here in Central Wisconsin I quit going to Goodwill several years ago. Their prices are outrageous clothing is priced like new pricing it is not worth my time or gas.
The Goodwill only gives senior discounts one day a week, in my area. St. Vinnies thrift which is also a large one around here, does it every day of the week.
And St. Vinnies is considerably less expensive than the Goodwill.
I've sold a bunch this month! So I agree it has been up for me on Ebay also. When it comes to neutral feedback, I have been lucky to have never received neutral feedback, I am currently still sitting at 100% on feedback - Goodwill prices have gone way up! I still find some gems, but the prices have doubled or in some cases tripled in price.
My eBay sales are better because had to take time off for a surgery. One of the first items we listed and sold was a Pittsburgh Magazine. We bought it for 50 cents and sold it for $418. Those sales make me nervous because I think they won't be happy even though the listing was clear, Waiting on feedback.
My 17 year old’s friends still call me Miss Michele. I think it’s the proper way. I would cringe too!
Ours here in NC are like a department stores. There are 3 the same within 20 miles. The prices are really high depending on the brand name. Ours does not do color tags anymore. My best one at Goodwill was a top from Target. The Target tag was still on it and the Goodwill price was $2 more. Funny 😂 So we make our visits that used to be weekly maybe once a month or so.
Hey there Kevin 😊😊😊
The shelves at my local Good will were so full, they were just leaving the loading carts on the sales floor full of "new" stuff sitting out. Perhaps that's why they priced a very nice crockpot that retails for $70 at $15.
Goodwill has raised their prices on junk items that probably shouldn't be sold in the store. It has definitely changed since the pandemic hit and is getting worse.
I add that type of neutral feedback to the 'why people suck' list. I've received similar feedback and makes me realize how people either don't think and/or they feel righteous enough to need their voice to be heard regardless of reality. Keep on truckin'.
I see fast fashion mostly. If you see a decent brand clothing item it usually has stains,rips,etc. Goodwill would not put those items out in the past.
Haha.. I saw the video, where pepper went up there and knocked stuff down
Yep. I never got nutruel feedback. Now got one. Loved product but said shipping high. It was about a pound and 1/2 and charged on the point. So weird.
I bet it was humid after the rain it almost always is near Buffalo NY
Our Goodwill's in Wilson NC area have set prices for clothing. $4.19 for jeans men's and women's, kids clothes $3.19 , purses $2.49. I wish we had color days for discounts. Salvation army does color days and sat 99 cent per item of the color of the week.
My location in Texas jeans and shirts mens and womens 8.99--24.99. Childrens 1.49-2.49. 50% color of the week with a kicker. I was in the store Fri, they were pulling items that were the nexts weeks color. I only go on Tues when I get 30% off old lady discount day.
4 years ago, I was spending at least $400 weekly at Goodwill. Now I am lucky to spend $2 weekly. (ON THE POSITIVE SIDE) Now I can sell items on Ebay Cheaper than Goodwill prices. I just have to source other places
I am certainly not mad at you about your good sales but wish I could have them. I can't source the same items in this area (perhaps I will go on the road someday) so I am focusing on what I can find, and be good at it. I aspire to have sales as good as yours has been lately :-) But alas I will need higher dollar items.
goodwill stores in az are all over the place on prices and usually on the higher end
I used to run a gw part of the reason I left was the greed. They'd do so much more sales and help out alot more people if not for all the greed. Crazy budgets on donated goods.
Working for me Is better.
My Goodwill has gotten definitely worse since last year. They've gone crazy with pricing. I manage to squeeze a few good things sometimes but it's gonna have to be garage sales more at this point.
I sold a doll that was in good condition. I had multiple pictures to prove it. The woman who bought her washed her hair using regular shampoo. You dont wash a dolls hair using regular shampoo because it will make the hair fall out. So she lies and tries to say her hair was already like that. Ebay ignores all the proof i had and just took her side. I will say it again. I dont care how much money you have to spend. There has to be stuff to buy. So sellers are just as important. EBAY!
Stormy Chromer hat is made un Ironwood Michigan
My Goodwills have outpriced me. Sunday does have a $1.50 sale on the previous week's color (used to be $1). Anything brand name is $15-$25, even if it's trashed. Wanted $25 for a pair of Nike sneakers. Didn't sell even at half-price week. I picked them up for $1.50 though!
It seems like Good will just raised everything but you can still find good deals.
Great video. Yes my neutral feedback lately has sucked! I have had a 100% positive feedback for years and I work very hard to keep it that way, however 2 negative feedbacks and it has dropped my feedback rating , to about a 98% and I’m not happy about, but whatever, I figure that’s just the world today, what can you do? Oh well. Yes my goodwill also have lost their minds, I think they have not trained their employees properly on how to run comps , you certainly can’t go by listings, you have to look at solds! 😢 I don’t think goodwill cares what I think, obviously. Thanks Mr. Brown, love your videos
Goodwill in Louisville is getting insane with prices. Just the other day they wanted $14.99 for a furby that had a corroded battery compartment.
Rain??? What's that? 106° here. Would LOVE rain
Some Goodwill's in my area are better, some worse or were already really bad with prices a year ago. My closest and main one I go to has lowered the prices on many things back closer to what they use to be. New items or ones that resell for a lot, like shoes, are still priced up but not as much ($10 or $12 for a $35 pair now instead of $15 or $19). One other store is starting to figure it out and has lowered a few types of things, but not like my main store. I will continue to go and look each week, I mostly buy items on sale that week, we do have the two color sales here. With garage sale season in full swing it's not as necessary as during the winter. And I don't buy much, just two or three items each trip.
Goodwill worse ..def not blanket pricing. Def mark up a lot of items here in Oklahoma.
Sales are better on eBay this month for sure :) however that promoted listing percentage just keeps going up. (I know it’s an option but jeez!!)
Have a great day Ya’ll!
It's not just Goodwill most of these big thrift stores have dimwits doing the pricing. I was at one, 2 exact same items priced differently. One $1.99 and the other $7.99. The store would not let me have both for $1.99 each. Their exact words "thats the price".
Just found your channel and spent Sunday with you!. I do have a question.... my Husband passed of Covid in 2021 and had to sell my house and downsize. Had estate sale for my Hub. I had huge yard sale but still moved into my new tiny digs with way to much. So 1 to 2 times a week i leave a free box at the end of my drive way. But I still have stuff that I hope is worth money. I used to collect Toby Mugs and have boxes of them. Many old ones from Japan. Lot's of other stuff in my shed. How do i go on line and evaluate a price for all or one? And other stuff i want to let go of. My daughter doesn't want anything so there ya go!
I’m retired and take care of 45 feral cats,including medical,hospitalizations.I used to make around 3k a month flipping,but since COVID I’m averaging around 300.00 a month.I keep trying,but can’t seem to sell anything. I also have 2 adult autistic sons and it seems like the last 4 years has been so down .any prayers would be appreciated by anyone❤
Apply for government grants. Start a non profit for taking care of the cats.
I care about you and for your dear sons. I’ll be praying for you!
You're not crazy at ALL about the first name basis thing with the school & baseball kids. When I was a Scout leader with my son's troop and a kid accidentally called me by my first name I would politely, but heavy on the sarcasm, ask, "are we drinking buddies or friends from back in school or the military? Didn't think so. Then you don't get to call me by my first name." Some of the parents had an issue with my methods, but as you well know, it was just a small step towards learning respect.
I deliver mail and it's super rare for kids to call me "sir", though they are usually polite otherwise. If children of today will call adults "sir" or "ma'am", eventually it will be noticed by someone who can change their lives.
I saw a Dammit doll at the Goodwill bins and could have sworn it was Trump. I told someone to get it and they probably didn't. While everyone is complaining about Goodwill, they nicely saved an item I purchased I forgot and gave it to me the next time I came back. I thought it was long gone.
Love the Kaybee shirt! I remember back in 1988 I think when the teenage mutant Ninja turtle toys came out They were sold out everywhere but I found just Michelangelo at KB toys in the mall. It was right next to a Barbizon if anyone remembers those
Our goodwills are like here also. Way higher than just three months ago. Horrible!
I recently received neutral feedback on a NEW in original package refrigerator filter - because they "haven't used it yet". smh
I just got a neutral from a buyer who was buying something for parts (said "parts" in the title) had communicated extensively with me before purchase and I took a super low parts offer just to move it on. He noted in the feedback that it didn't work. Really?!? So silly. And I got another neutral for someone who thought the colors didn't look the same as the photo, but the shoes were great. Both happened recently and both from people who made offers and emailed me first. People are funny.
My local goodwill is about 30min away so I only go there when I have dr appointments in that town. Which is every few months. But imo all of the local thrift stores have gotten ridiculous with their prices vs the quality of the items. I was looking at some Knick knacks just the other day and there were pieces that had roach 🪳 eggs stuck all over them. I reluctantly bought one and the kitchen hand towel that I used to handle it 🤢. Brought it home and cleaned it well. Only because the item is a $200 figure. I still paid $4 for a roach egg covered item though. 🤢 if they gonna mark up items they should at least clean stuff like that. Plush now average about $3-$4 each, the larger ones run more like $6-$10. But there’s always things they think have huge value and then items like this ceramic figure that they had no clue about. Yes it’s sad to leave some of those treasures behind because they are now over pricing this stuff, but there can still be treasures found.
Watch your channel alot just don't comment..had a buyer leave a neutral which is just lies in it ..contacted her twice requesting pics and stating the lies about how it was shipped and got no response at all..and it's been days. I and am so tempted to reply to her feedback I just don't need the drama. I wasn't gonna do a revision request but I just did, who knows it probably won't work but ..I wish so bad that it was like the old days when sellers can leave negative too. Why In the world did they ever get rid of that, I'd like to know haha..
Yeah I don’t think it’s fair we as sellers can’t remark on them as buyers.
Dont do it. Just call ebay. Dont message them. Call them. Explain you messaged them to see if you could help. They will check and verify and if no responses they will remove the feedback.
Dont let it bother you to much. I had a lady give me neutral feedback because her Maybelline Matte lipstick wasnt matte enough and stuck to her coffee cup..like it was my fault?😂
Feedback doesn't matter much unless you're really bad. especially neutral feedback. Not worth the energy or the stress.
got a neutral one recently on a bucket hat that the buyer didn’t seem to read the description or look at the pictures which explained/showed all flaws in full transparency
absolutely infuriating and annoying to see on my account lol
@@TeenageSweaterYep.. I got a positive feedback but the guy told other buyers to message us first before purchasing because we sent his item (it was a flat piece of wood, a tiny dart board pharmaceutical advertisement) wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a bubble envelope and it arrived perfectly and I saved HIM $4 in shipping. Some people you can never please. I will admit we blocked him. Try not to let it get to you! If you know you are doing everything right and the best you can.. just let it roll off your back. So many of my feedback praised us for how we take great care in shipping. Just another reason to let it go!
Hey Oh!!!
Have a question for you…. Do you prefer Auctions or Buy it Now when you do EBay, and why?
Calling adults by their first name with Ms., Mr., or Miss is a Southern thing, at least in Louisiana. All my children’s friends called me Ms. Lisa when they were growing up. It is meant to show respect. Of course, in school they used the teachers’ last names, not first names.
I was gonna say the same, my girls called my friends Mis/Mr first name unless it was requested to be their last name.
When we left the south, people thought that it was cute to hear my kids use that. We were in Pensacola, Florida.
Wow that was rain. Is it always like that?😊
You said your listings wont be as robust but got on daves rear about drafts 😂, which serves the question. When you do set your store for “away” or extended shipping time do you still post daily?
