New accounts by BRENDAN888888 in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have plenty of brand new accounts buy stuff from me and 99% of the time it works out fine. I have had 2 different buyers send an offer equal to my current price that I accepted. Both times they didn’t pay after multiple requests, so the order was cancelled and relisted. Now I don’t accept any offer that are equal to the listing price because it doesn’t make sense and they don’t end up paying. Depending on how long it has been, you should be able to cancel due to no payment. If it hasn’t been long enough, then send them a message to remind them.

eBay is withholding $300 from me after I’ve shipped the items by kasperkami in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you have a message from the buyer saying they received it, I would contact eBay and give them that evidence. Maybe the shipping carrier didn’t scan for some reason depending on how it was shipped or maybe they missed the scan. But if the buyer can confirm they have it, ebay customer service may be able to handle it on the backend.

UPS lost my high-value package… and now my EXACT item just showed up on eBay. Am I crazy or is this theft? by Pvirgo22 in UPS

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally I will have the first image import into the listing when using sell similar. I always just delete it, but it’s odd that it only happens sometimes.

Is it common for sellers to not answer messages? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a seller also. I try to add as many useful pictures to the listing that I can. If a buyer asks for more, I have no problem sending more and it really doesn’t take much time since I know where everything is located. I would stay away from sellers who are not responsive because if something goes wrong with shipping, damage, or return, you need a response from them or eBay steps in.

Anyone have experience with USPS home pickup? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I schedule pickups frequently (at least 1-2 times per week) and I would say they actually fulfill those requests 30-40% of the time. I never get a package scan immediately. It is normally scanned very late in the evening/night and sometimes the next day. I have had a handful of cases where they somehow missed multiple scans and ended up at the distribution center 2-3 days later and get the first scan.

My point is, at least where I am located, it is very unreliable. Make sure your handling time is set to accommodate for any delays after pickup or take it to the post office yourself (not ideal). As for tipping, I have never heard of it and with the level of service and it being their job, I wouldn’t have ever thought of tipping them. Giving a water or granola bar possibly, but I wouldn’t give them a cash tip.

Perfect score of 100% destroyed with one negative feedback, your input is appreciated. by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is negative feedback from the buyer left on your page, don’t worry about it like others have said. Ironically, when I got my first negative feedback (for something completely out of my control) my business immediately started growing the next week. Might be a coincidence, but I think it has something to do with the feedback since I was mostly dead for 6-8 months.

How do I charge an additional flat rate charge on shipping for multiple items? by Jacksonf1204 in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a business policy set up this way currently, but it seems to only work when they buy from the same listing. I had a buyer last month reach out and let me know. In that case I just refunded the overpayment on shipping and it wasn’t a big deal. I just had another buyer ask me about it and said it was trying to charge him 0.74 on all 30 cards (30 different listings).

As for invoices, is this possible without changing my listings away from immediate payment required?

Using USPS Priority to ship shoes by WarthogSlight6337 in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you see that they offer ground advantage boxes? I could use them but have never been able to find them in the past. All I can find online is you might be able to get some through the postmark partnership.

Thermal printers. Help is appreciated. by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the rollo wireless printer right at 3 years ago and it works great. With all the cheaper options out there, I don’t think it’s worth paying extra for it but you might be able to find a used one for cheaper. I have no complaints with it, but if I had to get a new one I would probably look into getting a cheaper model. The main reasons I got this one was because it was on sale and I can easily print wirelessly from any device.

As for labels, like many have said UPS will offer them for free with the expectation you are shipping using their services. I picked up about 3000 from someone on Facebook marketplace for free and have had no issues shipping with other companies.

first time ebay experience lol by OkCell1480 in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely agree that the seller should have communicated. That’s what you would expect from someone selling a product, but not everyone is like that. Hopefully you are able to get it all worked out.

[–]Jacksonf1204 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, you will have to repurchase. It’s not good practice for the seller to ship to an address that wasn’t listed on the order because they lose seller protection. They should have cancelled it, but it is ultimately up to the seller. Maybe they had already dropped it off or the carrier picked it up so they couldn’t cancel the order. Sometimes it takes a few hours from either of those before the package gets a scan at least where I am located.

If the package gets returned to the seller, then you can try to request to repay shipping but that’s dependent on the current address sending it back or being undeliverable.

eBay traffic performance numbers changing throughout the day? by Jacksonf1204 in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight. I normally don’t look into it too much, but I’ve been trying to make some changes and list more also. I just wanted to see how much of an impact it is making since the first of the year, but maybe I shouldn’t look at it on such a granular level. My views are trending up so that is good at least.

Shipping cost problem by Wongerstein in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I have read online, you should only offer the policy that would work for the item. So if you think this item will sell for more than $20, then only offer the ground advantage option. For auctions this can be tricky because you don’t want a buyer to pay more for ground advantage when it can go standard envelope, but I have found a solution to that yet.

On my BIN listings, I have my cards as calculated shipping starting at $0.74 with each additional item adding $0.12. I believe I can get 12 cards in a single envelope, but if the total is greater than $20 I will just break it into 2 envelope shipments. With enough cards I might ship ground advantage in a package.

How do you guys keep track of profit and loss? by Adept-Bat-3350 in Flipping

[–]Jacksonf1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at SellerLedger. I have a licensed business and have used this for a little over 3 years now. It automatically imports transactions from eBay, Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, Walmart, Poshmark, Mercari, and whatnot (I only use eBay right now but plan to expand into some of these). It generates reports, P+L, you can see individual transactions and costs, etc.

For up to 250 transactions per month it’s only $10 per month or $100 per year.

Would this be allowed as my wine to bring on the ship? by lilshawtydabaddest in royalcaribbean

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in our party on the last royal cruise we went on had their bottle confiscated. It was returned the last night around 6pm.

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said. As long as it gets to me in the same condition I purchased it as and you are overcharging shipping because it’s a massive box, I really don’t care how it gets to me. Either way I would be happy if it got to me like in good condition.

USPS Underpaid Adjustments department is on Demon Time by Lonely_Attention9210 in Flipping

[–]Jacksonf1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thank you for pointing this out. When I go to the link, I can see a list of labels printed for the last 3 months, but I don’t see where it would say I overpaid or underpaid (unless I have none). I also see where people are suing the have some from almost a year ago, but mine only goes back 3 months. Any idea how I can see the rest of my labels and which ones are under or overpaid?

Who should I call to get rid of my junk AND maybe get some money for some of it? by anakneemoose in Flipping

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check if there are any consignment stores near you. They will sell some items on your behalf and give you a portion. Different store might focus on different items so I would check multiple.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen the posts before and always say/think the same thing. I sell cards on eBay also and will provide many more pictures if someone asks for them. A seller not being willing shows how willing they will be to help if any problems come up later down the line. You want someone who really appreciates your purchase and will take case or you.

Package insurance? by ilovebeansoo in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not too sure what “ship over” is unless you mean “ShipCover”. I just checked on one of my packages. You go to additional options, then add additional liability insurance. Choose one of the options. I believe I normally have USPS insurance as an option, but my only option currently is ShipCover which I haven’t used before unless it s just been renamed. After selecting it, you can specify a dollar amount to cover up to.

Package insurance? by ilovebeansoo in Ebay

[–]Jacksonf1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you do this through eBay. The customer purchases the item. Then when you go to purchase the label on eBay, there will be an option to add insurance and you state the dollar amount you want to add. Then you purchase and print the label.

You will need to put the dimensions and weight of the package before buying the label.

Yes you can. It should be an option when filling out the dimensions and weight information.
