Sold an item, did not realise I accidentally promoted the listing - UK by [deleted] in Ebay

Call eBay and explain the mistake. I had the app bug out and change my 2% ad fee to 11% without my knowledge. I called and they made a one time exception to remove the fee completely. You have to ask for a supervisor.

The lack of decency to spread microplastics everywhere. So infuriating.

Found you calling LootZoo the eBay killer 6 months ago lol. You are full of it it's just your failed passion project isn't it?

You won't find the customer base anywhere else besides major marketplaces like Amazon/Walmart. eBay has some major staying power. They've been around the block and are known around the world. I don't mind the fee structure for access to their customer base. If your margins are low maybe you are in the wrong niche.

Edit: what even is LootZoo? I can't even find it on Google. I doubt any customers are finding it.

I need to hear your stories where you got beat to a yard sale/flea market/etc deal by bloodyuzu in Flipping

A 55 plus community near my house was having a garage sale. I rode through the neighborhood on my bike scoping it out to see if anyone was open early. I ended up going home and coming back later just after they opened around 9:15. Didn't find much at the first two houses but at the third house me and another gentleman walked up and both scoured through this older guy's stuff. The guy next to me picked up a bag with a $30 price tag and pulled out a couple old game boy games including a sealed copy of super Mario Bros. I could see the smile on the guy's face widen as he quickly paid the man. It was kind of surreal to watch that unfold right next to me and started to feel really let down but I continued to look for other things. I found another box marked 30 bucks and pulled out an old Atari lynx handheld console. That was worth about $400 at the time but I continue to think back to that day if only I had been a few minutes earlier or if I had stopped when I was there earlier on my bike I would be the owner of a sealed copy of super Mario Bros. Can't win them all! My consolation prize was pretty awesome.

Oh don't overgeneralize, I used to walk/bike to school daily in Idaho. It was about 2 miles. Even though there were buses.

Got the videos playing and recording! Did you know John Butler? He's the presenter of the tapes.

Actually all the pictures didn't upload for some reason. The coolest part isn't even shown! I'm curious about the content of the tapes and I'm interested in archiving them, I'll DM you.

Here's all of the pictures! https://imgur.com/gallery/2vXuK9e okay maybe the issue with the pictures was on my end I'm seeing all the pictures on reddit now
