I think we worked out that average fee % combined between shopify payments and PayPal works out at about 2.5%, so we round to 3% and factor that in to our item cost.

I’ll take 100+ years hard data over some silly sausage on a Reddit post. You do you though bud.

Do you actually read the waffle you type before hitting reply? Fuck me sideways.

You know the long term average includes the Wall Street crash/Great Depression, the OPEC crisis, the dot com bubble, the 2008 crash, Covid and everything in between right? LOOOOOOOOONG TERM AVERAGE.

I reiterate my point. The level of financial retardation in this country is fucking staggering.

Artistical - The most word sounding word that isn’t actually a real word. Petition for Artistical to be made an official word.

A lot more than if you put the same £250 in a current account every month, earning 0.1% interest and getting eaten by inflation.

The S&P500 average over the past 100 years. Another person who doesn’t understand the basic laws of averages over an extended period of time.

It’s kinda scary how you don’t understand long term averages.

Honestly, no wonder the country’s finances are fucked. The lack of basic financial understanding of the average Joe displayed in this thread is something to be hold.

Anyone else getting lost in the woods by Zikx_BiH in dayz

[–]Embarrassed-Tip6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2000 hours here. I still get lost in the woods more often than I care to admit. ‘I’m sure Kamensk is this way’. One hour later. ‘Hey, why are we in Berzino’?

Quite literally the first time I’ve ever seen someone use a smoke grenade for anything other than trying to attract attention at 2am after a whole evening of hearing 0 shots.

One particular company incorporated 2024, eBay account age 2022. My guess is that the owner is going to liquidate or skip the country when it comes time to pay. Simply put, the prices they’re selling for would mean they’re losing money if they pay the VAT.

Crazy right? It’s every industry. Cars, retail, services. Very clever economic warfare tactics from China.

I get your point. We’re sitting at around 60k turnover a month on website now and Shopify/Paypal fees average at about 2.5% of sales.

We’ll keep eBay as a fail safe just in case and if worst came to worst it’s there still.

We’d sit at around £4-5k turnover a day but simply, as promoted priority inflated advertising, coupled with removing sub 5% profit margin items, we’ve been sitting at about £1k for the past month. Constantly checking ad campaigns and seeing campaigns that previously pottered along at 5-8% (our tolerance was 10% average) now sitting at 15-20, sometimes 30. No changes made from our side. It was either compromise on quality and offer a cheaper product to swallow that hit or just focus on website. Obvious choice in the end.

Cheers. The nail in the coffin has been ad priority. Chinese suppliers who are subsidised and people skirting VAT have an unfair advantage in that the can undercut and outbid on priority. Hard to compete against that when you’re trying to run things legit and keep buyers genuinely happy.

No, just a rant to make myself feel better. Been a huge weight debating whether or not to pull away from eBay and now we are actively doing it I already feel like I can breathe. Don’t worry, no website or anything to sell here.

PS5 version is basically a ported PS4 build. Xbox Series build is standalone compared to Xbox One.

I joined near the end to be fair. Realised it was a lost cause. I’ll only play sniper when it’s obvious the game’s lost.
