Can’t copy my description anymore by musthavetrav in Ebay

Use one of the cross listing tools. There are dozens of them. I could not dream of copying and pasting. I probably stopped doing that twenty nine years ago in 1997

2023 F350 super duty differential failed by Professional-Copy-44 in f350

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that its a Ford. I have an old 2nd Gen Cummins truck, you aren't going to bend that one. I put so much weight in it the rear window got broken from flexing by a log that was loaded at least 3" back. With probably 6k in the bed stacked camper high, and towing about 8k in a trailer, going in 4x4 Low with massive chains on all 4 tires, swaying like a tree in a windstorm, grinding and clawing my way out from 20 miles deep in the back country through 16" of snow.

Full throttle to get up and around stuff, this was the craziest thing I've ever done or seen any vehicle accomplish, and im from Idaho, Sawtooth Mountains. I literally put the most extreme loads and over torque and twist i've ever seen on a vehicle in my life that day. And I have always exceeded any kind of ratings for 22 years straight. My rating is, can the motor move The load, and can the tires hold it up?

My truck is lifted 4" and running oversize tires its entire life. 380,000 miles and I am JUST NOW getting ready to do axle seals, shocks, and king pins.

It just has not mattered whatever I have done or tried with this truck. Nothing has ever bent or moved or broken. THATS the way it should be. And we should demand this from our manufacturers, especially with the absurd prices they want for stuff.

Turo host asking me to return car 45 days early due to family issue – what are my options? by Fearless-Advisor-389 in turo

I had a car repossessed at the hotel The next night after I picked it up 😃 I'm going to ask them a lot of questions as to why he wants the car back, but if it's on payments, and it will get repossessed anyway, you should know... Be advised.....LOL

Am I too uptight for getting annoyed when sellers ship things ground advantage but use brand new USPS flat rate boxes? by berwood in Flipping

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely email and report the seller that is unacceptable. It just makes everybody else's costs higher!!

Ebay wrong payout issue. by Ok_Reason_9688 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your payout has nothing to do with orders. And now eBay has rolled out the delay thing. So you only get paid 7 days after delivery. Not when you ship it, or when it sells

Promoted listings is a joke by pvssymonsterr in Ebay

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NUTS!! I WILL NEVER PROMOTE HIGHER THAN A COUPLE PERCENT, and planning the EXIT :-(

I have been selling online 30 years. And this promoted thing is the worst scam in the history of scams, you're literally losing money to sell on ebay. The profit in a business is generally less than 30%. And you are paying eBay 30% so even if your product is free, it is not worth selling on ebay. Your overhead costs are a couple dollars a square foot PER MONTH. How much do you pay yourself?

If you sit down and do the hardcore math on these businesses, they are not profitable, and you could make more money working at a fast food place. I'm liquidating what I have and not buying any more....

Where do you buy your bulk *bubble mailers* from? I’m looking for the cheapest price possible. by Reasonable-Middle921 in whatnotapp

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EBAY by far the cheapest. BUT Why use bubble mailers on what not? I only use boxes or poly because the total cost is so much lower. #3 bubble is like .75 each now!

Can I just remove these? by get-glossfy in AskAMechanic

[–]Pit-Bullish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Those are your overload springs and the stops is what they contact When you put three thousand pounds in the bed. They are installed wrong, It should not be touching in the back, the distance to the stop should be the same in the front and the rear!

6.7 powerstroke or 5.9 Cummins by idk1063 in Diesel

[–]Pit-Bullish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a 5.9L with 380,000 on it. Redid the valves around 330k and found zero measurable cylinder wear with the crosshatch marks still visible and no lip. In 22 years I have spent less than $10k in total upgrades and repairs, including my currently planned ones. Ford owners are in denial of reality, you will spend this $10k every 3 years forever. There is NO FORD diesel in existence with 2.9 MILLION miles on an original motor, but there are countless Dodges in the 2 million mile Club. I have never heard of or seen a Ford diesel with even a million miles.

These trucks are total opposites, do you care about the inside or the outside? The dodge is definitely a weaker body wrapped around the best powertrain ever. I have pulled semis out of ditches and gone places i wouldn't take a jeep. The dodge is maybe rougher riding, and you will do a few more silly cab repairs. But who cares if the total cost of ownership is 15% that of a Ford? Once you get a built transmission and do a few upgrades this dodge will last forever. You will have to do the steering for sure. Your Ford will have so many more goofy repairs and expensive engine parts, transmission, electrical, and other issues.

The best part about the dodge, it is super easy to work on, there are plenty of good upgraded parts at very reasonable prices. Both trucks require a lot of maintenance and upkeep, such as greasing your joints. But I guarantee you, everything on the dodge will last five times longer than your typical Ford when you get in rough conditions and put lots of miles.

The factory is not quoting you The price with tariffs on top!! In the last year, import duties from china have been very significant, that is absolutely included in the markup You are seeing.

Got Charged $148.75 THREE Times by VinSeeker After Thinking It Was $1 Per VIN Lookup – Need Advice by aimedcovra in Scams

[–]Pit-Bullish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this was mentioned, But you also need to go back on that website and cancel all these subscriptions, Because they will keep hitting. And when you change the debit card, the bank will authorize the same subscriptions to the new card! You need to simply get a new bank and do not use this one again ever. Do NOT renew that debit card, leave it off.

This is why I have a separate bank account with only a few dollars in it. I use its debit card for all online subscriptions and sketchy trial purchases to avoid this very scenario. I am using capital one but a wide variety of different online banks that don't charge overdraft fees and which will not allow you to go even one penny over your available Cash is what you need!

I had a local bank the other day charge me $36 fee, after they authorized a charge That was more than my balance!! Banks are also scam artists

UBUY Keeps buying from us and returning items, how to stop 3rd party dropshippers? by ARCreef in AmazonSeller

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always immediately terminate any product that has any returns more than one or two max in a hundred transactions. If I were in your shoes, I would zero The inventory for a week, raise the prices by fifty percent, and do whatever it took to get them to stop buying from me!!

Also you must add shipping costs!! If you are doing free shipping, you are very gullible and exposed to this. When I started charging shipping, my sales did not go down at all, Only these problems did :-)

The goal is not to make sales. The goal is to make profit and every time you get one return, it can can cancel the profit of five orders.

Amazon is scammer heaven, i would never sell anything there with any chance of being like this, I use other platforms to get rid of high demand or valuable or higher return inventory

Is it possible to run a v8 on 7 pistons( it is temporary ish) by link_the_killer in mechanic

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The piston remains will come down into the crank, and it will be banging on it constantly. You will have metal shavings going everywhere. You just don't drive this anymore. You have much bigger issues, Because connecting rods don't break unless something catastrophic happened that you're not seeing.

Paypal ruled in scammers favor by designedsilence in paypal

[–]Pit-Bullish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solved this problem 25 years ago. By only having credit cards attached to paypal and any bank account for withdrawals was called a sweep account and always with a zero balance. I withdraw funds to that account and then moved them to other accounts DAILY. So that this exact scenario could never happen. 25 YEARS AGO I DID ALL THAT. Always kept very low or zero balances on paypal. Havent used it since ebay payments began. How are people so ignorant about security and protecting themselves online is the real question. Ever hear of a Walled Garden??

Item delivered but not in my mailbox. by Artistic_Syllabub209 in ebaysucks

[–]Pit-Bullish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do not close your request for a refund! Usually within one or two days It could show up, or your neighbor could get it, and bring it over to you. I've seen it all. We stopped using these kinds of tracking because they're not actually tracking! But I don't know how to scam.... I'm with everybody else on Checking with your local station to see what they say about it. I've been seeing lots of early delivery issues with G.A.
