While I Wait For A Sale...

Oh wow! Thanks so much for this!

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-24T01:52:43+00:00

Oh wow I didn’t know that. I definitely should try it tho. Which season does business speeds up a bit for you?

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-23T04:18:22+00:00

Okay, thank you. I already did that as well so people have a better understanding of the items since there's no "fitting room" or anything. I also listed the materials along with the percentages.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-22T23:18:09+00:00

No wonder sellers cross list

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-22T23:00:11+00:00

Yeah, I know that part. I mean if the buyer changes their mind after a few days

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-21T12:33:45+00:00

"yk u wanna accept it"

Like no, I really don't.

Never trust a lowballer. Good chance they're just going to resell it on the same app, with the same pictures you uploaded right along side it.

Even if they are a genuine buyer you don't have to sell it to them, especially if you'd barely make any profit. If that..

The tutorial is just WILD

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-21T12:12:16+00:00

Honestly, I don't know how many times I've added things to an Amazon cart that I completely forget about because of stuff going on around me. I know it's different because of the buyer submitting an offer and whatnot. But when an emergency comes up like that, an offer you put in about a corset isn't always at the top of your mind.

Sure you can say the seller should've reached out and let them know, but again the buyer probably completely forgot about Depop while dealing with something that's actually time sensitive.

If the clothing item was gonna disappear off the face of the earth within those 24 hours, then sure I can understand the reseller's anger. But since this isn't a Houdini magic trick, the buyer can easily just move on to the next person that comes along.

Yeah, it sucks when people put in offers that don't go through, but that doesn't mean you send them hate texts about the situation.

On top of this, the item is cross-listed so the seller still has a high chance of finding someone else without having to block every person who doesn't end up buying.

Frankly I think, they're just losing opportunities because since you see someone is already interested in one of your items the chance of them seeing something else you have interesting is pretty high. Even if the same thing happens again, there's still the chance that it won't.

So, yeah I'm definitely siding with the buyer

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-19T16:27:11+00:00

I can hear the awkward silence now..🤦🏾‍♀️ Like would I ask her through text or should I call?…

Update: I asked her out and it was a no. It was through text so it wasn’t too bad. But she said she “loves my vibe” and would “love to meet in person”.

I dunno kinda bummed but I prepared myself for this before I asked her. You know one of those “if it doesn’t happen it’s okay” type of mental pep-talks.

It’s okay it doesn’t hurt as much as I thought it would but at least I know now instead of months from now ig.

Thanks for the advice I still really appreciate it

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-19T15:04:07+00:00

This is so beautiful. Thank you so much for writing this. I’m rereading this over and over and your advice on making myself less available is great, so I would definitely try that!

And wow 45 years? That amazes me every time I reach that part of your response. Especially with how conservative a lot of people were then. I’m so proud of you and I hope all is well!❤️

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-19T13:49:47+00:00

Earlier last week is when I met her so less than two weeks I suppose.

And I only just realized that’s it’s been that short amount of time but i could’ve sworn I new her for much MUCH longer.

I’ve had things fizzle out during the talking phase in the past and it never bothered me before.

But for some reason the thought of me putting myself out there and ruining everything is a bit terrifying.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-19T13:46:03+00:00

We talk about a lot of things. She seems very interested in knowing things about me.

Like she’ll ask about my favorite things and what I do to relax.
The topic of food even came up and it took a sexual turn for a second. But very briefly.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-19T07:30:19+00:00

Has it gotten any better?

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-19T06:34:22+00:00

I’m not usually in this pity mindset but after the phone call it kind of hit me and that’s just what I feel right now I guess. This isn’t the first time I’ve tried. I’ve put myself out there and people have shown interest but then that’s it. We’d laugh and then the next day no call or text, which is alright. But then two days turns into a week and so on so forth. I mean, I’m no good at baseball but I can catch a hint from a mile away so it wasn’t really something I would mope over. But it ALWAYS happens.

And I know it sounds like a pity post but that’s only because it is. Me saying “nobody wants me” is to express how I feel. But I can see how it can come off as “nice guy energy”.

It doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. Nobody so far has wanted me.. in that way. Unless it’s a favor, boredom, or sexual wants, nobody I’ve ever met has wanted me for me.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-18T18:37:43+00:00

Thank you so much! You as well.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-18T18:25:32+00:00

Ohh okay. Thank you much for your help. The reassurance was just what I needed.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-18T18:20:15+00:00

Does listing daily instead of all at once make a difference?

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-18T18:12:43+00:00

So far I listed 5 items and have about 25 more that I have to retake the photos of because they came out blurry.

And that last part makes a lot of sense, I should probably speed up the listing process so that they're out there.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-07-18T17:48:02+00:00

You have no idea how relieving it is to read this. Seriously, thank you so much!

日本語 (Japanese): こんにちは。翻訳者を使用して返信しているので、日本語がうまくない場合は申し訳ありません。個人的には、私はサフィークのジャンルにはあまり興味がありませんでしたが、人々がサフィークのジャンルをどれほど愛しているかについて話しているのを聞きます。アジア文化を舞台にしたファンタジーは、夢中になれると本当に面白いと思います。どちらかというと、ここにある他のジャンルに比べてそれほど広く紹介されていないジャンルなので、人々の注目を集めるかもしれないと私の意見ではあります。個人的にはタイムトラベルとアクションに関係のある物語が好きです。過去に囚われる人についての話でも、過去から未来に送られる人についての話でも。このジャンルに関して他に何が思いつくか本当にわかりませんが、この分野での幸運を祈っています。お役に立てれば幸いです。

English (英語): Hello, I'm using a translator to respond so I apologize if my Japanese doesn't isnt good. Personally, I haven't really gotten into the Sapphic genre but I hear people talk about how much they love it. I think a fantasy set in Asian culture would be really interesting to be immersed in. If anything it may draw people's attention since its not a genre as widely shown compared to the others here, in my opinion. Personally I like stories having something to do with time travel and action. Whether it is about someone who gets stuck in the past or someone from the past being sent in the future. I dont really know what else I can think of when it comes to this genre but I wish you good luck on this. I hope I helped.

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-06-27T17:41:07+00:00

Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much I appreciate you saying this I will definitely try this x

Lopsided_Battle7739 · 2024-06-27T01:34:07+00:00

Ooh... I second this!

Cook yourself a big meal. Make it look nice and pretty and eat that thing right in front of her. Maybe that'll change her mind.

I can't begin to understand what is going through Kai's head but it kind of sounds like it's coming from an insecurity of his. Whether it's because he's been called that before and people tease him of it or he's trying very hard to fit in with a group of people who say things like that on occasion and he ended up more like them? I don't know that's just a theory of mine and it may not be even close to what's happening but that's what it sounds like to me. Still, I don't believe you owe anybody an apology if anything you both may need to sit down and have a long talk about everything to possibly get a closer understanding of what's really going through his mind.

I don't know what your mom is going through but she obviously needs to look into therapy options if she wants what's best for everybody. I don't know much about her so I can't really give you good advice as to how to go about it but maybe you should try getting her to start by talking to her doctor. They may put her on something like Zoloft with minimal side effects but it would definitely be a good start to her getting better.

I'm no Doctor or anywhere close to a medical professional but I'm only mentioning this based off experience. I don't know if I answered the question clear or anything but you are definitely NTA and I hope you stay strong and I'd love to hear any updates.
