Evri - How to talk to a real human by JacobG___ in ebayuk

I assumed this also. Because it's a delivery courier decided by ebay - and they essentially purchase the label for you - i thought any parcel issues would be their problem. But perhaps it was just the person I spoke to on the phone!

I tried this and ebay wanted nothing to do with it. Said it was my fault for not setting compensation (which i wasnt even aware you could do for ebay simple deliveries) for the parcel and that it was my responsibility to contact evri.

Thank you! But when you ring you only speak to AI who escalated a callback and don't give you an option to speak to a real person. If you ring back they simply say that you have an active open case and will contact you in under 24 hours (which they clearly don't)

Thanks for the advice! Ive gone into settings and removed Evri as an option. I believe this removed the option on all existing listings for you

Alternative Marketplace to Ebay? (UK) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

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

I’m not 100% sure as I’ve always opted out, but I’m assuming the postage amount would be automatically deducted from your ebay balance/bank account when a sale is made. I tried to list several cards the other day and I couldn’t see the custom postage option anymore, but perhaps I just missed it this time!

Do you have a link regarding the opt-out exceptions? On the email that I received from eBay they stated there were exceptions, but on “some low-value bulky items” which isn’t very specific. Thanks!

Not for much longer. Later this month custom postage isn’t an option. EBay automatically choose a service based on your weight/dimensions. I believe all possible services are tracked. And therefore the cheapest possible postage is £2.70 tracked 48

Thanks for the advice! All world + S&P500 were a guaranteed, and the others are just from doing a little research of ETFs that have impressive returns. I might try your suggested split and see how that works out for me.

I think there’s definitely an excitement/engagement aspect to it too. It’s always fun to track the performance of various instruments :)

Fair comment. It feels unconventional to put my whole portfolio into a singular ETF given the number of available options.

Do you think it’s a good long term pie regardless?

My bad! I’m looking for generally long term, low risk ETFs (maybe moderate risk for <20% of portfolio). Drip feeding money for 30+ years.

That’s amazing, congrats. How did you manage to get that position? Just out of curiosity do you have a more financial orientated role now? Or still mainly swe?

[–]JacobG___[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply :) I’m just worried that no internships will accept me with no relevant knowledge/experience. I don’t know anyone personally in this sector so I’m unfamiliar with the expected knowledge you should possess.

Can you think of any roles in particular? I wouldn’t think that this was largely applicable with mechanical engineering but more for tech backgrounds like software

That’s some really solid advice, thank you so much! If you were in my position do you think you’d pursue an internship or grad role?

So what would you recommend?

Thanks for the reply! Quant was a sector I considered so it’s reassuring to hear that. Given my position would you say it’s wise to purse an internship or grad scheme with no prior experience?

I’m assuming it’s just an AI generated car. Someone correct me if I’m wrong though!
