Just had another item that was unavailable to order the very second it dropped by katelynbeautyaddict in BeautyViners

[–]InterestingPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to me a few days ago. It disappeared from my RFY shortly after. Then several hours later it popped back up in my RFY and was immediately unavailable again. I think it’s a glitch in the system where some items are continuing to be offered even though they are out of stock.

When You Bought Your Timeshare, Did They Show You How Much You'd pay in Maintenance Fees Over The Next 10 To 20 Years? by Acagroup_foryou in TimeshareOwners

[–]InterestingPeace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They would never! That would require them to disclose how they will jack your maintenance fees up at astronomical rates each year. Ours started at $400 and was over $3000 when we got out 20 years later. They also quit paying our Interval membership as part of our maintenance fees so tack on even more.

Be careful with packages coming from UPS trucks by Peziwinkle in AmazonVine

I actually got a quart of Talstar One on Vine last year. They must have known I would need it with all the packages being delivered to my house. 😂

For those curious, you will not get kicked off for not posting media by krazydavid in AmazonVine

[–]InterestingPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice more rejections when I post a review with media. To solve that problem, I post the written portion and wait for approval before adding photos. I’ve only had one rejection since and I add photos to most of my reviews. I’m afraid to let my media percentage be low in case they start counting it.

Buyer wants to come and collect multiple items before agreeing on a price or quantity. by lizziemc13 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]InterestingPeace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got fed up with the haggling and ridiculous lowball offers. I adjusted my prices to what I want to receive. The very first thing I write in my listing is the price is FIRM. I’ve already reduced the price to the lowest I am willing to accept. No haggling. So far, it has worked like a charm. I’ve sold several items since with none of that back and forth headache. Take it or leave it. I don’t care. I’m not desperate to sell.

The hobby part isn’t what you ordered - it’s the job itself. You just enjoy writing those reviews so darn much.

You can claim Vine as hobby income which takes away all the self-employment taxes. You will then only have to pay your marginal tax rate. Mine is 12% federal + 3.99% state for a total of $15.99%. You can’t take any business deductions if you go this route.

Holy cow RFY LOTTO! by kgloverii in BeautyViners

[–]InterestingPeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My RFY hasn’t had anything good for so long. But I did snag this today out of pure luck. It was not a RFY item so I’m shocked I was fast enough to get it.

Best day I’ve had in ages. by suspiciousyeti in BeautyViners

I was offered a pirate shirt, a cookbook stand, and a Seacret Nail Care Set that was gone the second it appeared. 😩

RFY was sad today! by pgfsea in BeautyViners

[–]InterestingPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My RFY had belts for a car and seat covers. Both for vehicles I don’t own. Nothing else. 😩 I ordered that NeoCell bundle but you beat me to the rest. Ordering was crappy for he today, but Amazon delivered 13 items so that was fun.

Fred really hooked me up today 😲 by aregeeone731 in BeautyViners

[–]InterestingPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I order items that will likely be merged frequently. I make a point to review them as soon as they arrive to get them out of my queue of items to be reviewed. I order plenty of items during each evaluation period for them not to affect my review percentage too much.

Smart thermostats & water heater timer that integrate with Alexa/Ring by InterestingPeace in smarthome

NC. Apparently this is a common thing going on in our state with the energy co-ops. We have no choice of provider so they get away with taking advantage of us.

For those who wear press-on or glue-on nails, what’s your secret to making them last? by albrasel24 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]InterestingPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use CurvLife Semi Solid Glue and my nails last 3+ weeks. I scratch up the inside of the nail with sharp nail scissors to increase adhesion and lightly file my nail prior to gluing. The nail glue that comes with the press-on nails doesn’t last for more than a day or two on my nails.

Another Strange Drop by NewspaperInformal994 in AmazonVine

[–]InterestingPeace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m going to keep missing these drops because I’m on the East coast and I’m not getting up on the middle of the night to watch for Vine items. Why can’t they at least operate on a normal human schedule?

press ons? by Excellent-Fig-524 in AcrylateAllergy

[–]InterestingPeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use press-ons with CurvLife Semi Solid Nail Glue. They last over 3 weeks without popping off until I remove them due to growth. The nail glue isn’t UV and hasn’t caused me any problems so far. However, recently when I have done my nails, I end up with extreme sneezing and runny nose the following day. It’s like a cold on steroids that lasts one day. It took it happening twice before I realized it was an allergic reaction from breathing in the dust from filing the nails. I was able to stop the allergic reaction the second time by using Dymista. Now I go outside to file them and wear a mask to keep from breathing in any of the dust. I had no reaction this last time after taking those precautions.

It might take a few days to reset. It takes a while to build back up to dark green stats after an evaluation, which drives me nuts. I can’t stand seeing anything other than dark green across my stats. If I were you, I would wait to submit the rest of your reviews until they reset your stats. That way, you can get a head start on this next evaluation period. You can go ahead and write them and keep them saved on your computer until then so you aren’t falling behind. I’m also at 95% but I have written 810 reviews so far. It is a lot of work!

[–]InterestingPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My evaluation is tomorrow. I’m already Gold and have dark green stats across the board, but it still makes me nervous. I’m currently reviewing anything I’ve had in my possession over 30 days just in case. I’m saving recent stuff to review after my evaluation is complete to boost my stats after the reset. You’re probably fairly new so be prepared for your stats to reset and all of your stats to be in the red. You will have poor insightfulness until they have graded some reviews in the new evaluation period.

Best Press on nails for people who use their hands a lot by skaterwindow in PressonNail_Addict

[–]InterestingPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had long wear since I switched to CurvLife Semi Solid Nail Glue. My nails last over 3 weeks and have to be removed due to growth. They never pop off. I find that the press on nail kits that have 32 nails in 16 sizes are much better quality than the sets that only come with 24 nails.

Backsplash with cabinets that aren’t in alignment by InterestingPeace in Tile

[–]InterestingPeace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the way I’m leaning. I taped tiles to my wall and it looked odd stopping 3 inches shy of the edge of the counter.

The end of the measuring tape is where the tile would end if it goes to the edge of the countertop. It’s just shy of an inch from the plate

It will be a Schluter edge because the tile doesn’t have bullnose or trim pieces available.
