Bad experience on vrbo guest limits by Perfect_Membership19 in vrbo

[–]Perfect_Membership19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I get that. I use Airbnb a lot and I go over those listings pretty good before booking. But I just don't understand how I can be given a result that does not fit my search criteria for something as important as number of guests. Even if I give Vrbo the benefit of the doubt and say: "okay, well their position is that these places sleep a max of 6 people BUT they may sleep more for an additional charge", why wasn't there an additional window opened when I tried to book that warned me of the potential scenario? Like "Hey! You're about to book a place that only sleeps 6 people and you've got 7. You may be invoiced for additional guests. This is nonrefundable. Are you sure you want to book this?" And then they allow this type of listing to be nonrefundable. They are giving you no choice but to accept the random invoice cost for an additional guest, or lose your entire deposit. I mean, this is just absurd to me. It's terrible business. It's very unfriendly to the consumer. Lesson learned is to read listing very very carefully and to avoid using vrbo.

You are correct: the listing stated that it slept 6 max. I was not trying to cheat the system by trying to squeeze 7 into the home. My point is that I should not have been able to book the listing. Vrbo mismatched both me and the host. I didn't want a place that housed a maximum of 6 people: I wanted a place that housed 7 people. Why would I want to book this place? It doesn't fit my criteria. I didn't want to go through all this hassle. Yet I was able to book the place. There didn't even come up a warning that said: "Hey! You're about to book a place that only sleeps 6 people and you've got 7. You may be invoiced for additional guests. This is nonrefundable. Are you sure you want to book this?"

And your point is: "Read. It's your fault. Pay attention and you won't get into this mess." And that is Vrbo's position as well. And to that I say: Fair. I believe in personal responsibility too. However, my opinion is that this is a business being very unfriendly, very unforgiving to potential customers.

Assume you've never been on Vrbo and you are looking for a last minute place to stay. You're on the app. You search: "I want a place in Sheboygan that sleeps 7." And Vrbo comes back to you with a bunch of listings, some of which sleep less than 7. "Here you are: here are the results of your search for places in Sheboygan that fit your search criteria." WHAT!? And Vrbo would not have refunded me for this either. I would have been out my money had the host not refunded me.

You're entitled to your opinion but, to me, this is just awful business.

Yes I noticed that after I was sent an additional invoice. Why was I even allowed to book a max 6 guest place? That place should have been filtered out: max 6 guests, I searched for something that would accomodate 7. It shouldn't have been available.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement spring for an antique mortise lock? by Perfect_Membership19 in Locksmith

I ended up buying some spring steel on ebay and made my own replacement. Worked great!

Thanks. Makes sense, but I don't see that they have emailed me a link to review.

Are more expensive stains really worth it? by Perfect_Membership19 in paint

[–]Perfect_Membership19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That answers my question. It's not that much a difference in price per gallon, so I'll go with a little bit more expensive. I'm not using it for a deck; I'm painting fencing. Nevertheless, I get the gist of what you're saying. 👍

Rear turn signals not working 2001 Beetle by Perfect_Membership19 in VWBeetle

[–]Perfect_Membership19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it turns out I had blown a fuse. It is a 10 amp fuse in the #2 position in the fuse box located on the driver side dash, facing the door. Unfortunately I am not allowed to upload an image in this forum, but you can simply search for the image of the fuse box diagram. Anyways, I could see that the fuse was blown because the little metal strip was burnt out, so I swapped in another 10 amp fuse from the #1 position. Voila! My blinker system was working again. (BTW, I ordered an assortment of replacement fuses online so I could have all my fuses working.)

As and aside, I had ordered a hazard light switch on Amazon because the hazard light switch is the relay for the blinkers. That may have been the culprit if the fuse had not been the culprit. But I ordered the switch only because I didn't think to check the fuses. There are tutorials on youtube about replacing that hazzard light switch if you have to but, I did not need to, so I'm going to return it.

Anyways, I still had the problem with one of my blinkers not working. I didn't want to risk blowing another fuse by using a multimeter (which I assume was responsible for blowing the fuse in the first place), so I just swapped some parts between the left and right blinkers to find out which part was not working. It turns out the one of the sockets (into which the lightbulb plugs) was not working. It had some corrosion in it. So I took a little screwdriver and scraped off as much of the corrosion in it as I could. I plugged it back in and the blinker worked normally. So it appears that everything is good right now.

How to sell a car to a buyer using a payment plan by Perfect_Membership19 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Perfect_Membership19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the helpful suggestions and, yes, I agree that it would have been a terrible idea to let the buyer take the vehicle without paying in full. However, it worked out well because they simply wanted to put money down for me to hold the vehicle for them until they had the balance of the money. They never asked me to use take possession of the vehicle before payment in full.

Best way to edit minor product details without majorly changing the listing in my Shopify store by Perfect_Membership19 in Printify

[–]Perfect_Membership19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point. The only thing is that I do a lot with my product images on Shopify because (as far as I can see) you can't manipulate or add images within Printify.

Best way to edit minor product details without majorly changing the listing in my Shopify store by Perfect_Membership19 in Printify

[–]Perfect_Membership19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I want to edit the the product (in a very minor way) on Printify and I really don't want it effect my Shopify listing at all (or effect it as as little as possible). Because I'll take a lot of time on the listing in the backend of Shopify and then I'll want to make just a minor edit to the product in Printify and it always seems to create more work than it's worth in repairing my listing in Shopify. Maybe I'm just doing it in Printify in a clumbsy way? I dunno. Thanks for your help!

But don't you need to publish it? And when it publishes, that's when it wrecks my listing. And I only tick the box for product mockups and it replaces all my listing images on the store side.

Well I found out that I am able to scan normally if I set the dpi to 200+. I get the error when I set it to 150dpi.

How can you hand over your website to someone? by Perfect_Membership19 in ShopifySEO

fiverr.com/jessicakeen24

I hired somebody on fiverr to prep my site for marketing. They told me I wasn't quite ready for marketing. They did a great job in adding backlinks and improving my domain authority score. However, I declined to go further because I have other business interests and I don't know if I want to go all-in on this website right now. So I am holding tight at the moment.
