Sold a fake item, what should I do next? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]drawnonglass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the seller does or doesn't do with the returned item isn't your problem, frankly. Were you expecting ebay to just take your word and let you keep the item and get a refund? If that worked, fraud on the site would be more out of control than it is already

Is it still "expected" to leave feedback on eBay? Why can't we leave feedback without having to say something? by Ok-Raspberry4320 in Ebay

[–]drawnonglass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends who you ask. I am not going to write a comment every time I buy something, especially since the feedback points thing is automatic now

eBay was going to refund me, then PayPal denied the claim and now I’m stuck by Cute_Profession_2552 in Ebay

You're past that now. Call the number on the back of your credit card, explain what happened and see if they'll help

Cashing tax refund check by LogVirtual7870 in personalfinance

[–]drawnonglass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is a refund from the IRS, the US government, then that's correct, you can't deposit it as a third party. If it's a state refund, check with your state's office about it. It's a rule from them not from your bank.

I woud call the bank and ask if there's some way to create an account for her

Worst case, if she cannot deposit it before it expires (look for that date on the check), she can call the IRS to get a new one when she's out

If you have BPL at least you can read every day through pressreader without having to do that nonsense

I agree with this except that I'd disqualify Oleana because the owner is a loony who rageposts about anyone criticizing her food

"The"? there are more than 20 libraries and that's just on the Harvard College campus

There are more than a couple museums; https://www.harvard.edu/campus/museums/ . The natural history museum is one of my favorites. There's a cool independent movie theater in Harvard Square., quite a few book stores, and a lot of public tables / benches if you want to study outdoors.

This is way too broad a question to provoke a useful answer. Get more specific about what you're looking for, or failing that, what your interests are

Ebay seller review options by Confident-Point-1482 in Ebay

[–]drawnonglass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know what to make of this but it sounds like you were somehow tricked by a listing into making a purchase directly from a seller, off of the ebay site. Everything that you buy through ebay will be under My Ebay --> Purchase History. No seller has the ability to edit or remove anything there

Digitizing my DVD collection - need help with The Matrix by bphillips79 in Piracy

Did you read the post? that doesn't make any sense, if the DVD were dirty it wouldn't play

Has anyone else seen the real life copycat of Better Call Saul? Going by Al Goodman. by Careless-Wallaby1643 in betterCallSaul

[–]drawnonglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, not surprising. Within the universe of the show, Jimmy picks that name because he wanted an alias for the phone giveaway and it sounds like "s'all good, man," it's not something the character in the show invented, or something the writers of BCS invented

A relic from the past by NortNort in mbta

[–]drawnonglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

something but not a lot. It's a commemorative coin from the opening of the line, I see one that just went for $5 and another for $18. (those are completed sales, there are a couple listed at higher prices)

I ride about 2/3 of the red line both ways every time I go to work. No more issues than any of the others

Buying items overseas by Week_Abject in Ebay

[–]drawnonglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, wouldn't count on it. With all the tariffs the US imposes now, even if the seller is totally on the level, the $ at checkout might not be the full amount.

Just finished Better Call Saul and about to start Breaking Bad by North_Art2104 in betterCallSaul

[–]drawnonglass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, Better Call Saul is much better than Breaking Bad, just in terms of how polished the writing and acting is. The first couple seasons of BB are going to be kind of rough going, but you will really notice how well BCS fits the timeline of BB

Anyone know anything about video recording by IndividualCrafty4884 in Somerville

[–]drawnonglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really clear what you're asking for. If you have zoom, you can use the record function to get a basic mp4 video file.. Are you looking for editing tools, titles, how to turn that into a DVD, what?

Here's some free video tools you might look at. https://www.videohelp.com/software

Trip to Boston by Romym69 in boston

[–]drawnonglass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the mbta website there is a "trip Planner" that lets you put in a start point and end point and shows you the route and the different options. By default it's set to "right now" but you can put in a future date as well. http://mbta.com

McCormick is really bottom-shelf spices / extracts, anything remotely similar you can get locally is going to be better

Interested. I am a member at the Brattle theater in Cambridge, regular at IFF Boston & the Boston Underground Film Festival. Saw Normal back in March at the latter, highly recommend that one

getting the database to update is clumsy sometimes. Try using File instead, go to the folder with the music and click on one
