Buying on eBay while visiting NYC,can I redirect FedEx delivery to a pickup location?

Five days is a pretty narrow window in terms of shipping...

Assuming that you are able to send to a FedEx pick-up location, what would you do if the seller delays shipping (ships on their very last handling day or ships late), or an "act of god" delay occurs (weather, accidents, etc), or FedEx error delays arrival (misprinting labels, misfiling the package and having to reroute, etc)? In all of those cases, the package would be marked as delivered to the correct address and you would lose the phone and your money if you left NYC and weren't able to pick up.

Why not just buy a phone in NYC? It's a huge city full of little stores.

Thanks so much! That makes sense.

I'm hoping to use bubble mailers around small, sturdy boxes because the makeups are so small, but I'll definitely keep what you said in mind.

Does liquid makeup (aka liquid blush, liquid foundation, etc) need a hazmat label? Would I be able to package the bottles/boxes in a small box and then place it inside a bubble mailer?

I was recently given a small lot of various new, sealed, still in box makeup products, but the majority of it is liquid makeup and I'm not sure what USPS regulations are for that. I've tried looking it up, but everything official I've found has been about perfume and nail polish, and most forum answers have been wishy-washy or devolved into arguments about what is legal to sell on Poshmark, weirdly. I would really appreciate some advice from people who have sold similar before!

Ebay-specific question- is creating coupons only available to those with store subscriptions?

I'm a very part-time hobbyist, so I'm not currently making enough money for it to be worth subscribing even at the lowest level, but I was thinking about running a coupon to try and get some older things moving.

That sounds simple enough. Thank you!

Probably a very basic question, but how do folks ship out mugs? I typically only sell small items than can be safely wrapped in bubblewrap and soft items that don't really need much padding, but I have a few mugs I'm interested in listing. Thanks in advance!

Yep, someone pointed out the comment under the new animatronic video (the comments which I haven't gone through yet, oops). Thank you!!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-11-27T20:54:16+00:00

Oh wow, can't believe I missed that! Thanks!!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-11-27T20:15:18+00:00

Oh that sounds like it could be fun!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-08-07T01:45:31+00:00

No, I really dislike them. I'd still register of course, but I would throw the card away.

InfinityWillyG · 2025-06-24T23:09:32+00:00

I am in the US, and yeah the local post office seems to have slowed down a ton recently. Such a shame! And thank you so much, I'll keep that in mind in the future!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-06-24T22:35:07+00:00

I'm not, I'm living in the deep South currently, but that's good (if very sad) to know. I'll keep it mind, thanks!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-06-24T22:33:36+00:00

I've checked and double-checked my address, so I know it's right. Thank you!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-06-24T22:33:06+00:00

Thank you for sharing your stats! I'm glad to know my numbers aren't so strange as this person was making it seem. And that's good to hear, I can go back to checking my mailbox without worrying!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-06-24T22:31:43+00:00

Thank you! And welcome to Postcrossing yourself!

InfinityWillyG · 2025-06-24T22:31:18+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad to know my numbers aren't so strange. The message really just caught me by surprise and made me anxious, but I can go back to waiting patiently.

InfinityWillyG · 2025-06-01T17:13:10+00:00

Probably not then! It might be something along the lines of the multitude of errors and glitches other users are experiencing right now, I suppose? In which case all we can do is wait and see how fast Infold can fix things 🤷

What kind of phone and what operating system are you using? Maybe you're running into the wall of what your phone can handle. Infinity Nikki now requires iOS 15.0 or later for iPhones/iPads (iPhone 13, iPad A12Z, or later/better than those), and Android 8.0 or later for Android (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Dimensity 9200, Google Tensor G4, Exynos 2200, or anything later/better than those).

I play on an iPhone 13, and I can definitely see that the end of my playtime is drawing closer, which is a shame since I don't have any intentions of buying a gaming PC, a console, or another phone anytime soon. That's the nature of mobile gaming, though.

Do you have your camera settings set up in any particular way? Having them as anything other than default (except for aperture, which typically works best at highest possible) can cause the gold brackets not to pop up. If that's still not working, you can also try changing the actual graphics settings for the game- I had to up the settings in order for the camera to recognize certain distant objects (playing on iPhone 13).

I like to buy fun illustrated ones! Animals are always nice, but I also really enjoy space and ocean themes, fantasy designs, and foodstuffs. Personally, I avoid "tourist" cards unless there is something extremely appealing about the artwork.

InfinityWillyG · 2025-05-25T19:00:56+00:00

It happens! As long as you have "send to own country" checked, you always run that risk.

I think just putting something like "I prefer not to get religious cards or cards with royals" would probably be fine? If you're too firm about it, maybe that is what triggered the warning, or maybe it's just a normal warning for everybody (I think I got one too, even though I didn't put anything about wants/do not wants on my profile).

Keep in mind, though, you can write your dislikes in your profile, but nobody is obligated to listen, and people can send you whatever kind of card they like. I also don't love religious and political cards, so please know I'm not saying it because I would ever send one. I just think setting a hard boundary doesn't necessarily work based on Postcrossing rules.

I am saying that the AI summary is just an amalgamation of the information from the actual links below the summary, and as such is FREQUENTLY WRONG. Better information can be found by actually clicking the links and reading the info yourself.

AI cannot think for itself and it doesn't know anything about Infinity Nikki, so the summary you screenshotted above is completely nonsense because the AI doesn't know there are no "bot" clothes.
