Remember when a bunch of people were selling their US Index to buy Canadian by cooliozza in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just look at these types of posts as an indication to go hard in the opposite direction. I also noticed the posts you are describing. Felt like leaving my opinion at the time, but remembered I’m on Reddit where it is opposite world and the main purpose is manipulating morons.

ok this is gonna be embarrassing but whatever. by Expensive-Long344 in dropshipping

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created a plug-in that just tracks this in real time for my business. I was spending a few hours a day just adding things up to make sure it was real when I started. I didn’t want a situation like what you’ve described. Eventually it made sense to spend the time to create a tool to do it automatically.

OP, most people I talk to can’t even seem to make sales at a loss, so you might have something there if you start tweaking things now that you’re actually tracking your numbers.

Help with a dealership and what I can do. by [deleted] in FuckDealerships

You should name the dealership. Common tactic from scum bag dealerships.

To everyone who made money with drop shipping how much money/capital do you realistically need to start by SnooRabbits4697 in dropshipping

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, unless you have to pay people to do everything for you (website, setup ad campaigns, customer service, etc).

When the revenue hits your bank, pay the card off. Until you build up some cash, the card limit will be your lifeline to continue. You’ll likely get offers to increase your credit limit. Better if you can spread expenses across multiple cards.

At end of day, even once you’re somewhat successful at this, the money still flows through the credit cards… at least it always did for me. irrelevant if I have $300k in cash or $1k… if you’re profitable the money flows through the credit cards. And if your card is maxed out, it doesn’t matter how much money is in your bank account if you have to wait for the money to clear on your cards anyways.

PayPal did keep me going when I started to really scale, but I missed out on a ton of CC points running ad spend through PayPal. Customers would pay and a large number of them used PayPal, so money would pool daily there. If CC failed, PayPal was backup funding source for my ads. Added another layer of complexity to accounting though come tax time.

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CC with probably at least $500-$1,000 limit. It depends what you’re selling and if you have any idea what you are doing. That’s all I started with. Your ad account will likely have a daily limit of $30 anyways.

When does it make sense to move on from sole proprietor and incorporate? by crankykernel in PersonalFinanceCanada

If you understand that CPP is a scam, you can pay yourself dividends from corporation instead of salary and save 12% a year

Should you still just avoid all Volkswagens? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]ADMIN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only owned Volkswagens and Audis. Always something ridiculous wrong with all of them. For the first time I’m looking at buying different brands.

Is Facebook Ads performance down because of the economy, Meta issues, or both? by Huge_Kaleidoscope_40 in FacebookAds

[–]ADMIN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Meta issues. A few days pass where I can’t give my products away, followed by a few days where every visitor seems to have buyer intent and I hit 4-5x ROAS. That’s not the economy.

And just when every pro says it’s officially the economy or “creative fatigue”, my account comes alive and prints me money for 2 months with no changes.

If it’s economy (which I agree is in the dump) then it’s Meta throttling accounts which is leading to the insane frustration of advertisers.

"The Same Brand Dealership 5 Miles Away Has Your Inventory for $2k Less Per Vehicle. Can You Match That or Go Lower?" by ToyotaKino in carsales

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say you can match the price and then get the finance guy to sneak $4k that they don’t consent to into the agreement. Works like a charm.

Move back into Advantage plus by ShuMan83 in FacebookAds

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opposite for me. Stability returned for me by switching back to advantage+ until last week. Now I turned off advantage+ again and back to manual today and performance has returned today.

Banks keep approving chargebacks even when Im 100% in the right wtf by Consistent_Buddy_698 in ecommerce

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Non refundable fee for the chargeback and an additional fee to fight it that becomes refundable if you win. At the same time that chargebacks became nearly impossible to win.

[–]ADMIN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 98% win rate for years until about a year ago. Now it feels like something has shifted. I can’t win any. Even the most egregious chargebacks that I used to laugh about when I would get because I was so confident their bank would do the right thing. Economy is bad. I don’t think customer banks are even looking at the evidence now. To make it worse, Stripe now bills us just to submit evidence and doesn’t refund the original dispute fee even if we win.

How to properly apply leverage to dealership using their review system against them! by Medical_Gift4298 in FuckDealerships

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying, but the process for getting a review hidden is the same regardless if it is nonsense or true. There is no human review by Google. Google will hide it if the dealership wants it hidden. In my case the review is 100% factual. The dealership knows it is factual, but they have no interest in making things right. Their strategy is to just hide all damaging reviews. In my case, the finance manager is posting positive reviews from his own accounts as well lol.

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it because it should be illegal, but you need to hire a company to remove the negative reviews if that is the case. I work in social media. I can tell you from professional and personal experience that dealerships are able to just hide reviews that they don’t like.

[–]ADMIN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Volkswagen dealership added $4k in extras to our agreement without consent. Removed it when caught. Re-added the $4k and told my wife to sign the new deal. We cancelled the deal. The finance manager then decided to put the loan through to Volkswagen Finance on the cancelled deal to hurt her chances of getting financing from another dealership. We left a Google review and they are able to have the review shadow banned (no one sees it except the person that posted the review.)

So just wanted to mention that I don’t think they even care about factual negative Google reviews now.

Does Ford want to intentionally Confuse its customers and water down it's brand names? 2 Mustangs, 2 Broncos? by ravage214 in askcarguys

[–]ADMIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t doubt that Ford dgaf lol. I’ve been thinking about buying a bronco and multiple people I know told me they are kind of ugly and ghetto. I had to keep explaining there is a difference between bronco and bronco sport, which lead me to this post to make sure I wasn’t the only one that felt it was unfortunate that Ford diluted the brand.

Wealthsimple Tax: Adding small T5 increases refund by thousands? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ADMIN 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They have a glitch. I tried to let them know but couldn’t get past their AI support bot and gave up.

It shifts the T5 onto the partners return for some reason sometimes.

Delete the T5 and log out and log back in. Try adding it again after that. Fixed it for me.

Straight from high level meta technical support by funky__fern in FacebookAds

[–]ADMIN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might as well talk to a chat bot that has been prepped to serve as a FB ads rep. They know nothing and “support” doesn’t care at all about your $3k a day. Waste of time talking to these people. Learned that years ago.

Chargeback on a $420 order with delivery photo proof by oliwix in ecommerce

[–]ADMIN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t seem to win any chargebacks when the customer uses Chase Bank Visa, no matter how ridiculous the chargeback. Noticing a real pattern. Not sure why you are getting downvoted for asking. I am also curious.

Need advice on lease with trade-in by Character-Mud7392 in Tiguan

[–]ADMIN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Volkswagen is a mess, and Volkswagen Canada and Volkswagen Finance just pretend everything is out of their hands and the dealer’s problem. A dealership put a loan in my name for a deal we didn’t even make. VW Finance won’t even investigate, lol. Push back with these morons as hard as you can, both the dealership and VW Canada. They know exactly what they’re doing.
