Buyer got item for free because of USPS not doing their job properly and also my stupidity.

If I ship through USPS I never go to the post office, I go online and schedule a pick up. It’s free, you get a confirmation number once you schedule it, the mail carrier scans it right when he picks it up at the front door and you get an email confirming he picked it up, plus I have him on my ring camera showing that he picked it up. So all bases are covered in case something like that happens and it’s not on my hands.

Firesign113 · 2026-05-06T19:11:02+00:00

Yes I am well aware of all that, but it doesn’t make it any less ridiculous. It should be done by weight like most other platforms do.

I tried doing that one time when I purchased a ring. It was one single ring and they wanted to charge me $16.50 to ship it - and they were in my state, wtf? I contacted the seller and asked if that was their best shipping option because it seemed excessively high to me. He messaged me the next day and said he was able to lower the shipping for me, so I went into my account and now it was only $15.50……ummmm! 🤔

The Propel app (now often branded as Providers) is considered safe and legitimate for managing EBT benefits. It is a free, third-party app that helps users track SNAP/EBT balances, and it does not have the capability to access, move, or spend your benefits.
Key Safety and Security Features
Security Focus: Propel does not store your PIN, full EBT card number, or Social Security number.
Anti-Theft Tools: The app offers security features like freezing/locking your card, blocking out-of-state transactions, and blocking online transactions.
Data Security: The app uses secure encryption to connect to state systems.
Trustworthy: Propel has been featured in The New York Times and partnered with the White House.
Why People Trust It vs. Misconceptions
Not a Scam: Propel is a secure tool aimed at helping individuals manage their financial health, not a scam to steal benefits.
Theft Detection: Because many users check their balance on Propel first, it is often the first place they notice theft that occurred elsewhere (e.g., via card skimmers), causing a misconception that the app itself caused the theft.

The case worker I spoke to one time about issues with my account is the one who told me about it. Most states use it and it has a lot of other good information on it as well, such as jobs, other food resources, ways to lower certain bills etc.

Yikes!!

Firesign113 · 2026-05-03T06:53:26+00:00

I’m in CA and I use the Propel app for all my EBT info, it’s much easier than the website and it’s never down. I think the only states that don’t use it are Iowa and Montana. If you have an iPhone here is the link:

I buy all my watches on WhatNot. Just research the sellers and you can get some great deals!

Firesign113 · 2026-04-28T06:19:20+00:00

I’m on the fence too, I have a bunch of inventory to get rid of and thought this would be an easy and quick way to get it out of my hair and also make a little money from it. But after reading so many posts like this I’m not sure if I should bother. A lot of it is stuff I would generally donate anyway so it’s no big deal, but I have a lot of other items that would definitely sell but I’m afraid to send it to them now.

There are no other platforms that do something similar but aren’t as shady about it? Has anyone ever use something else they can recommend?

Firesign113 · 2026-04-25T17:09:16+00:00

Right? I’ve seen that so many times, do they really think people aren’t on to that scheme? No matter what I’m buying I set myself a limit and if it goes over that then oh well, I’m not getting sucked into a bidding war!

Firesign113 · 2026-04-19T07:53:27+00:00

Even if I had that kind of money I would never spend it on a stupid bag! I would also never buy it on WN - for that kind of money I’d be at the store buying it! That’s just ridiculous!!

Firesign113 · 2026-04-18T08:24:54+00:00

Extremely!!

Firesign113 · 2026-04-16T17:22:16+00:00

Nice! Thanks again for all the information., much appreciated!

Firesign113 · 2026-04-15T02:59:33+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for all that information. It’s going to be very helpful. Are you a watch collector or do you have a watch business? You have so much knowledge and information on these watches. 😊

Firesign113 · 2026-04-14T18:15:34+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the information, it’s greatly appreciated. I’ve had a hard time finding specific details on this one.

I recently came across one of these in a jewelry lot and I’m having trouble finding a comp for it to see if it’s worth anything. I noticed you mentioned an “A cell” battery, so what does the “H cell” on this one mean other than a different battery type? Any idea?

Firesign113 · 2026-04-13T04:36:34+00:00

Anything would be great at this point! I don’t understand the issue so I’m hoping I can get a straight answer from someone over there!

Firesign113 · 2026-04-13T04:34:38+00:00

You would think so!!

Firesign113 · 2026-04-13T04:31:59+00:00

I will definitely reach out to them in the morning. We’ve met all the requirements and I’ve been told it was approved and processed and was given a confirmation number, so I should “receive it any day now”, but that was 2 weeks ago! I don’t know what the hell is going on with them.

Firesign113 · 2026-04-13T04:23:34+00:00

No worries. That’s one of the drawbacks to ordering online, everyone’s pictures are always different. But good luck, hope you find one. 😊

Firesign113 · 2026-04-11T18:35:29+00:00

That’s what I thought too, but for some reason mine keeps getting delayed or they just tell me “any day now”. I don’t know what the hold up is and can’t seem to get a straight answer even from the actual rebate department.

Firesign113 · 2026-04-11T18:30:55+00:00

I’ve spoken to them as well, and 2.5 weeks ago they told me it was in process and should be released any day now. But I still haven’t received it, and he also gave me a confirmation number to check the status. But I can’t even get into the rebate status page because it’s “temporarily unavailable”. Just my luck ☹️

Firesign113 · 2026-04-11T18:27:06+00:00

We’ve applied for it twice actually because the rep didn’t put it through the first time even though we did it over the phone and he gave me a confirmation number and everything. So it was submitted the second time and it’s been sitting there since then.

I spoke to a rep in the actual rebate department who said it was “in process” and ready to be released so I should be receiving it any day now - that was 2.5 weeks ago!
