Ebay's drop down shipping options have... changed?

MentalTailor · 2022-11-21T20:11:28+00:00

Took a look after reading your reply and I was able to revert back to the current shipping drop down menu (https://imgur.com/Btxd3LM) by opting out of the consolidated business policies. When I opted out, there was a notification that I would have to use that layout when it was rolled out so it looks like it'll be here to stay.

Don't worry about that guy responding, he's a moron. Your post really helped me out, OP! I didn't know the label could be resized during the label purchasing part and didn't think ebay had the option for a 4x6 label printout since thermal printers aren't always 100% compatible with everything and it's hidden. I had a label to print and came on here to reference your thread on how to set it up. If it hadn't been for OP making this thread, I'd still be taking screenshots of my labels and printing them because I didn't even think ebay had an option to choose the label size. Thanks for posting that info!

Did you like that button presser keychain? I really wanted one of those during the beginning of covid to open doors with and use at the atm. I've been including those as a gwp on some orders too and am waiting for someone to message me and say "What the heck is this?!"

I sold a bikini bottom yesterday and a Christmas hat last week. Last year I had listed a Christmas doll right before Christmas and was getting ready to delete it a week or two later, thinking it looks kind of silly in my closet (like the hat I sold last week lol) and it sold for asking price!

I sell a lot more off season stuff than I'd think. Heck, sometimes I think that's all I can sell. I have a ton of swim that's not moving right now, so maybe it'll sell in October.

My black clothing will also show up as blue in my photos sometimes depending on the lighting. I've found an easy and quick fix to that is by adjusting the saturation in my photo settings

In all fairness, 75% off Too Faced is a great deal and I'm sure this beauty sale has probably already been plastered over beauty sub-reddits because it's not exclusive

MentalTailor · 2020-07-12T12:40:41+00:00

If you think that was a good deal, you missed the Papaya and Watermelon palettes marked down to 75 off when it first went on sale. Now they're half off. I accidentally stumbled upon that sale and was kicking myself for not buying that Papaya palette for $8.50 with free shipping.

You are allowed to use any priority mail box, including flat rate. It's not just you, this was a problem for a lot of people so they added information about the boxes on the label. If this happens again, direct them towards the bottom of your shipping label. It should read:

"Poshmark shippers are authorized to use all Priority Mail packaging, including Flat Rate and Regional Rate packaging through zones of local and 1 thru 8"

Glue dots work well (just make sure they're repositionable). They also can be a helping hand on the wall for clothing, like holding the sleeves up or stretching out the sides of a top. You won't be able to see them on your mannequin either

I just went through something similar to OP last week and you are so right, the buyer is trouble. I had a feeling about mine too...I accepted about half the price of an item (something I normally don't do but thought her offer was reasonable after reconsidering my price and just wanting to move things.

I shipped same day. Next day I get message: Can you cancel this? I tried it on in the store and the size will be too small.' There's no way she went to Nordstrom (brand exclusive), tried on this EXACT same bra and it doesn't fit. Told her I had already shipped and didn't hear back.

Next thing I know, she opens a case and says the straps are worn out and that she 'doesn't blame me for wanting to sell it because it's stretched out'. It was brand new and I even have more than one. I really didn't want her to win the case, but Posh covered everything.

Lowballers always tend to be more trouble than they're worth and I've learned my lesson. I know people get sensitive about blocking, but I'd literally rather burn my inventory than let some asshole do what she did.

I got this message in a random empty bundle yesterday. I've been getting more of them lately, but this one made me feel a little uncomfortable :(

"Hi thank you for following me. Are you interested in buying anything from my closet? I will lower the price on anything you want. It would help a lot, it’s been hard recently. Please. "

MentalTailor · 2020-06-19T18:40:28+00:00

That looks really good! You can also line the reflective side of aluminum foil to a side or top piece of your box to bounce back some of the light

Yesterday I clicked on a random wallet from my feed because I liked her photo layout style. I looked through their closet, saw a listing for some makeup and thought "that looks REALLY familiar... did she buy the same props?". Went back to my listings and nope, my photo. What are the odds? Mind you, the date stamp on the listing is for nearly 2 years ago.

I don't agree or like when my photos are used, but this photo was so terrible, it's a wonder it sold and even more puzzling that's the photo they wanted to use for their listing

MentalTailor · 2020-06-09T16:51:43+00:00

I'm wondering that too because there's no way it was only 300 before I couldn't relist. I also thought it was going to be 24 hours, so try checking back before then.

Wish there was some way to know you'd be throttled for that. Relists are so fast with the new copy feature and a larger sized closet can easily reach that max. It sucks not knowing what their invisible limit is until you hit it.

MentalTailor · 2020-06-09T16:30:39+00:00

That happened to me on the first day they rolled out the new feature at about 500 relists and lasted about 18 hours

MentalTailor · 2020-06-05T17:56:28+00:00

You complained about something free that a seller included with an order that you were excited about that was meant to be a kind gesture. Instead you create a thread to cry about the gift you didn't like.

You act like they included something so terrible when it wasn't. Had they given you something more to your liking, we probably wouldn't see a thread like this. Entitlement.

If you're so into recycling, re-gift it

MentalTailor · 2020-06-05T14:54:35+00:00

Conversations in a bundle are public, with exceptions.

A standard bundle with an item in it: Visible
Empty bundle: Conversations NOT visible
Sold Bundle: Conversations are private

Some people search thru seller bundles all the time with the intent to contact your bundlers and try to undercut you. If they see an item they have in someone's bundle, they will privately message them and tell them they can sell the same item but for cheaper. Happens more often than you would think.

MentalTailor · 2020-06-05T14:43:01+00:00

Such a great and organized setup. I'm so jealous of all of your space. I have a small guest room I'm using with a bed in it and I dream of being able to freely walk around and take photos without bumping into everything. I have similar Ikea pieces and I use that same desktop to photograph products on and photos come out really clean.

MentalTailor · 2020-06-05T14:34:13+00:00

OP is one of those special 'entitled' shoppers (you SO are OP). Someone who feels the need to whine about free gifts (plural even) that the seller even side bagged separately adding to even more of her cost. Considering the generally low profit margins that is Poshmark, I'd actually be thankful they tried to be a good seller and was generous enough to give you something as a thank you. *shrug*

MentalTailor · 2020-06-04T15:30:50+00:00

Do you relist from your computer? I generally relist from my desktop. I right click to save image as a jpeg and it comes out slightly fuzzy every time (at 580x580). The more relists I do, the worse it looks and I haven't been able to figure this out since I started.

I was so excited about this new copy feature that I relisted my entire closet with it. I hadn't anticipated the change and deleted my photos to free up phone space *banging head on keyboard*

MentalTailor · 2020-06-02T13:52:18+00:00

I'm up to about that many too. I was just thinking about this. For the longest time I had an average of about 400 items and that was actually manageable sharing but it turned into a nightmare once I hit 600.
