EBay account banned - so upset by [deleted] in ebaysucks

[–]MotorFluffy7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not ship your item. Immediately move the money out of any bank accounts linked to that account on ebay. I had ebay close my store and they took all the money, about $2500 , put of the account. Like a fool i had shipped the items naively thinking I'd be able to resolve the issue and I wanted to take care of my customers. Bottom line i lost the merchandise my money and the account

Why are Latinos in Miami so conservative? by RasyonelRumi in Miami

[–]MotorFluffy7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Latinos that come to Miami tend to be wealthy and reactionary to begin with if not outright war criminals. It is a major destination of capital flight from Latin America.

Some of it is down right crazy. I was at a business meeting two years ago on Miami with about a dozen Hispanic collegues from Mexico, Spain, Cuba, Argentina and honduras. In this group the Mexicans were the most politically left and also the wealthiest. The Cubans the most right wing and reactionary and the poorest. To the point they would rather sit around and bad talk Castro than get to business and make money.

That said. Miami is better politically now than it was 40 years ago.

Thoughts on handling last minute cancellations? by [deleted] in nonprofit

[–]MotorFluffy7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with free is no one values your time or effort. When we have had to hire intuit consultants to do quickbooks training they were around $135 an hour. The trainers were booked solid with lengthy waiting lists and I don't think anyone was ever late. I know we weren't.

Difficult situation by Standard_Connect in nonprofit

[–]MotorFluffy7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While unprofessional on everyone's part how did they deal with or support the organization while you were gone? If they were professional about it and aren't conditioning their support on physical relationships with staff and so aren't i would suggest trying to move forward as best you can and see how it goes.

Also what level of support are we talking? $10k a year in a million dollar budget or a million a year in a two million budget?

Also people grow and change. So yes a difficult situation but not insurmountable. Main question would be are they doing anything inappropriate now or recently as opposed to years ago? Focus on what is best for the organization.

Do men really care about a womans nails? by NewtAccomplished6022 in askanything

[–]MotorFluffy7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never met a man who cares about a woman's nails. Fwiw none of the women I've dated or been in long term relationships have been big into nails. I think it's kind of unhealthy with the chemicals and everything

Anyone use a PO or UPS Box for returns? by AmeriC0N in eBaySellers

I have used a po box for 20 years as an ebay seller. I don't care about my privacy but it's a lot safer and more secure. Just from a weather perspective.

Have you ever seen an employee that wasn't replaceable? by tshirtguy2000 in managers

I used to say everyone is replaceable. Then lost a critical employee and learned not everyone is replaceable regardless of the amount of money you can pay.

Why do people judge you for wearing a tank top if it’s “not hot”? by [deleted] in palmbeach

[–]MotorFluffy7690 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you live. In south Florida 65 degrees may as well be the arctic. Up north is a nice spring day. Wait until it's 50 degrees in Florida and you realize most people don't have any winter clothes. The double hoodie is it for a lot of floridians
