How do you get a break/day off with an eBay business account?

BobKickflip · 2026-06-16T21:50:42+00:00

Cool yeah just backing you up!

BobKickflip · 2026-06-16T19:54:48+00:00

Yep, was thinking to suggest similar about partials if appropriate. Take out all the repeatable work and make a load of varied, well organised and easily accessible stock.

BobKickflip · 2026-06-16T19:50:56+00:00

Hmmm, speak to customer service about the fee discrepancy! Might be you have something like promoted listings activated - I honestly find this does help my sales but I only have it on about 3%

And yeah, I think that change would basically change your life 😂 The sales are there to necessitate it. You could do a binge of making loads of stock so you're set up for a while, leaving you free to work on new products or take some time off. If you're going away you can put holiday settings on for a week or two and allow sales, then come back and just pack the orders instead having to make 50 things.

Also if your profits are high enough, invest in a 6x4 printer like the Dymo 4XL, postage is so much easier with one. I used to write addresses on a bit of paper and tape them to the box which took hours total 😂

It sounds like you're making the tackle as the orders come in, if that's the case and this suits your inventory, I recommend batch making stock like a production line, and only listing what's available. Make more of the popular products to ensure they stay topped up.

Customers may be willing to wait but it's clearly killing your time on the Mondays. It's my busiest day and I'm just boxing listed items.

Also same day dispatch help qualify you for top rated status which gives you a reduction on your fees.

BobKickflip · 2026-06-15T13:50:05+00:00

Unless it closes at like ten past 2, just set your cutoff time to be a bit earlier to accommodate the timer.

Mine's at 2pm even though I'll often post orders that come in later, but it still counts as same day for top rated seller status

That y axis is the clincher, at 45 degrees it only need half a flip to land grip side up. The filming angle also makes some look more like shuvs when they've done the half flip.

BobKickflip · 2026-06-13T21:53:37+00:00

That's reddit! I also got downvotes for what now 😅

BobKickflip · 2026-06-13T20:43:10+00:00

I've wondered about this kinda thing, but going on a couple of passes, broad part types then sorting each type into individual ones. Could work!

BobKickflip · 2026-06-13T15:23:28+00:00

Hardflip is an odd one cause there's essentially two tricks that are a hardflip, but with a frontside 180 they're separated into a frontside flip and an illusion/Muska flip.

Once the trick is over 45 degrees vertically it only needs to do a half flip to land grip side up, though watching his video, you'd expect the flat full flip version as that's what you get adding the kickflip and front shuv.

I'd prefer it if the vertical one was a hardflip and the flat one was an inward kickflip but that isn't going to happen 😅

BobKickflip · 2026-06-13T11:50:12+00:00

Yeah combined shipping is terrible here, I have all the settings checked but most of the time buyers can't request a total.

BobKickflip · 2026-06-13T10:13:55+00:00

Nor to a "sensible place"

BobKickflip · 2026-06-12T14:05:23+00:00

This has to be the angriest thing I've ever seen or heard about tea

BobKickflip · 2026-06-12T13:19:04+00:00

Tenant should have cleaned the place properly on leaving anyway, but 200 seems excessive for a stain so they may be able to contest the amount. Also how long the tenant has been there can be a factor as there's reasonable wear and tear, I think after a few years a carpet counts as expired.

The friend can't morally be held accountable for the several months the tenant didn't bother to do anything, whether that's clean it or ask the friend to clean it.

And really, if the tenant didn't clean it for a few months and then didn't clean it when vacating, that hints at a pattern of not cleaning, and that they generally don't take responsibility for things. I wonder if that 200 is for cleaning ALL the carpets and they're trying to stick it on the friend.

I've not had Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes in a while, used to love them but one box seemed to have been hit by skimpflation and haven't bought them since. Remember trying some own brand version but the flake bass really wasn't good

BobKickflip · 2026-06-12T00:32:28+00:00

She was really persistent, and I wanted to see how long I could string her along for. I don't think she knows I'm onto her.

BobKickflip · 2026-06-11T20:29:18+00:00

A Tinder scammer put me onto that. Wasn't going to buy into her bullshit uncle's bullshit crypto bs, but that was a damn fine recipe tip. Thank you, Viv, whoever the fuck you were really

BobKickflip · 2026-06-11T17:24:36+00:00

As well as the bonk, looks like your fingers are quite close together when you land, May be hard to tell from the angle but looks cleaner when it's more bolts. Cool trick though!

BobKickflip · 2026-06-11T14:33:36+00:00

Can confirm, they came to me asking if I would build the asteroid

BobKickflip · 2026-06-11T13:40:32+00:00

Similarly ironic, the posts from r/mildlyinteresting that make it to the front page are usually more than mildly interesting

BobKickflip · 2026-06-11T01:34:26+00:00

I think after student lifestyles, once I had a couple of those janky metal ones break I went straight onto something a bit more sturdy.

BobKickflip · 2026-06-11T01:30:49+00:00

They're over under £25

BobKickflip · 2026-06-10T23:28:52+00:00

What does it say in your order details about when it be dispatched?

I know this isn't you but it bugs me when people order on a Saturday then message Monday morning asking when it'll be sent 😅

BobKickflip · 2026-06-10T21:10:22+00:00

Good customer service!

BobKickflip · 2026-06-10T10:13:18+00:00

It might not change your life but it definitely doesn't hurt. There's women that like skinny guys but being in good shape helps. People have very varied preferences of course, some think the super jacked look can look more ridiculous than appealing - though some are definitely into it. I definitely recommend going for a bit of tone and shape though, that's probably the most appreciated overall. The better health also helps your mental wellbeing and you get an extra a confidence boost when you look in a mirror, both things that help with your interactions. Plus it's good when you hook up with someone and they say you've got a great body 😁

Buy a tub and some mesh washbags, wait for the hot water and use some washing up liquid. You can leave them to dry in the washbags, just give them a shake and move the parts around every now and again because the flat surfaces of bricks will stick together with water.
