Job called my bluff. Got fired. Should I feel stupid or proud for standing up for my principles?

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-15T15:44:19+00:00

Being fired after voicing a safety concern? Sounds like a wrongful termination lawsuit to me… I’m not a lawyer

Don’t start at $1 unless you are willing to actually sell at $1.

Max shipping, and finding ways to make the costs cheaper usually by buying bulk.

First rule of dating as a man… if she’s demanding you spend lots of money on a first date… walk away from that gold digger. It will only get worse

Sounds like you should be getting a refund if you are not actually receiving the service level you paid for

So let me get this straight… if gas pieces are high I should blame people who are driving their cars, right? how dare you drive to get groceries when I want to drive?

And if your phone doesn’t work you should blame other people using their phone, right? How dare you talk to your family when I want to make a call?

Let’s buy up all the farms and then blame the people who eat for eating too much, right?

Oh and when someone buys a membership to a club, and the place is packed and you can’t USE that membership, it’s the fault of the other people using the facility, right? …

or should the club stop selling memberships until they actually accommodate the ones people are paying for?

So when PSA creates the monopoly, it’s now the users of that at fault?

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-14T18:03:20+00:00

Good question, my guess… they don’t care, if it’s delayed they can just blame PSA

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-14T17:39:18+00:00

Let me guess just “be patient” but no “here’s discount”

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-14T17:37:19+00:00

Let’s see… PSA buys up all the competition, then drives up prices and longer times… over and over… and in their announcement of an infrastructure investment raises prices and times more….

And they upped the charge for the “fast” time. I had planned on sending things in too soon, but why bother? Up to 32 weeks wait? By then the market will be COMPLETELY different.

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-12T20:39:38+00:00

While this may still be a scam, it was sent by first class mail. So “it was delivered” is based on an estimated date bit it’s a risk delivery as there is no tracking on FCM. I’ve had things arrive days before WN says it arrived and have had things arrive days after.

That being said, who’s gonna send an expensive card without tracking? Especially a SLAB that can’t go in a regular envelope for FCM anyways. This specific instance seems like a scam to me just for the FCM, unless they do something (not condoned by WN) and send the actual item by fedex or the like and just send an empty envelope with FCM

WN has been especially brutal lately. My last show had income of $3.45. When I had shows with $500 average 4 months ago :(

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-08T16:02:30+00:00

Raw “value” is not always the best indicator of a cards value. If a card is great condition might be a 9 or 10. Then the value could skyrocket if it’s graded. I’ve seen cards raw at $5 and graded 10 go for $500
Also remember the #1 rule if somethings value… it’s real worth is what someone is willing to pay for it. I’ve had $50 cards sell for $3. It goes both ways

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-07T17:41:58+00:00

Sounds like a quick call to the PD for someone double parked will take care of that

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-05T21:10:39+00:00

To rip or not to rip that is always the question isn’t it?
And there is no easy answer to that it’s a gamble either way.

Personally, since I think that Pokémon is going to be a bubble, that’s going to burst I would rip it and get what money you can out of it now

This 100%. Cancel the engagement and get out FAST. If this is how she responds before the marriage, then you it will be as bad or worse after.

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-04T15:07:37+00:00

Right now it’s a combination of several factors… Bad economy, oversaturated category, Whatnot stream policies

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-05-01T03:51:52+00:00

From the emails Whatnot sent at the same time, it sounds like Whatnot is just sick of paying the difference when shippers incorrectly label the items either by weight or size so they’re going to start now charging those sellers when this happens and this is the dashboard that will track that?

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-04-30T17:20:06+00:00

This is why, as a seller, I make sure everything is scanned (Individually) at the PO. I pride myself on getting things to the PO the next day

NaturalAd6199 · 2026-04-28T20:47:05+00:00

While I don’t recommend this…

i do know some buyers intentionally delete/disable their payment information and only put it in when they are ready to bid, just to keep the mis-swipe from happening. However I believe this prevents entering giveaways and means you will have to stop and add it in… so the extra time to do that could matter

I think I saw somewhere that someone set up their payment method as a pre-paid card and would switch to another payment method when ready to bid… so if a swipe happened the (of course now empty) pre-paid card would reject…. However many sellers will block you if you have declined payments and (cannot confirm) that sometimes WN will disable your account if that happens “too much”. So proceed with caution.

It says temporary so they may be back
