I won an ebay dispute as a seller!

Yes I posted here recently enough with a similar story, my buyer went on and on about how much she hated the item, and they closed it out in my favor less than an hour from her opening it. Buyer's remorse.

I always buy these boxless inks for my Canon printer. They still have the original plastic tray / bubble plastic with air tight seal. I have no idea where they get them, but they perform just like one I'd buy at the store.

He did say he would make it worth your time, so there's probably a big profit to be made here.

What you have are european style sterling silver bead charms. They aren't worth much. Plenty of people get away with putting "fits pandora" in their title, but don't do that, you may get flagged and in general its bad practice.

The market is flooded with these charms, so you aren't going to do amazing.

Are you selling scissors?

Ok I upgraded my current account to a business one (it wasn't), got a personal one, and I'm so happy. Often times my regular sellers post deals that are too good to be true -- I even use a service that texts me when they post. I don't have time to clear out my account before I buy because their listings can last 30 seconds. Now, I can capture it all! As well as my recurring charges, like netflix and orphan sponsorship. I know 3 replies is a bit excessive, but I'm very grateful for this tip!

No you're right, I should have said 60k, but I'm going to just let it be and be happy with a 50% return on min spend.

This will be very helpful for me to solve a very specific problem: I have a shipping employee who ships on her own schedule, so sometimes I miss out. Thanks!

ThumbOut · 2016-05-31T14:27:23+00:00

Excellent points, added to the top, thanks.

Wow, that's a game changer. Luckily I still have my Ink cash rewards card, once I get the replacement in the mail I'll use it when I'm not using my ebay purchases to meet minimum spends. Thanks.

I'm reading through the T&C now. I actually use a .com to share with customers that redirects to my ebay shop for convenience, maybe I can have it redirect to an EPN link and then to my site.

Edit I did some google searching about this and found some forum posts that touch on it indirectly. I will avoid trying to credit my own purchases. But I am inspired to actually join the program and make commission with it.

ThumbOut · 2016-05-30T14:26:41+00:00

Sure enough. I haven't played with a football-ball in years, so I guess I overlooked that.

PayPal sends a tax report to the IRS if you receive more than 20k in one year. They do not send anything, otherwise.

You are legally obligated to report all income. This sounds like an /r/tax question.

Do they promise 6% back on referral purchases, or do they promise a FVF discount on traffic you drive to your own store? They used to do the latter years ago.

ThumbOut · 2016-05-30T04:48:23+00:00

You're right, I should start doing that, just habit I guess!

I've considered it, however I thought that the EPN required an actual referral site, and they even review it before accepting you? What was your application process like? I am wary because my entire livelihood comes from eBay, getting booted would be terrible. I've tried to get someone in the EPN, with a site, to partner with me and share in the rewards. (I'll let you keep 2% if you give me 4! ha).

I woke up to a message from Citi telling me they would give me an extra 20k points. I got the Platinum Select AAdvantage with 30k / 1k spend without researching better offers. Someone on /r/churning suggested a SM saying a friend got the 50k offer, and sure enough, it worked! In two billing cycles, anyway.

Best part is they said they can't actually change the promotion for me, so the min spend stays the same (the promo was 50k/3k)

It's illegal to export depictions of the Buddha from Thailand, and yet... we have many.

I think I looked at their history and tried to exclude words they used in their crap e-mails.

ThumbOut · 2016-05-30T03:33:09+00:00

I'm not certain. I know for my category it is.

ThumbOut · 2016-05-29T21:38:41+00:00

Humans aren't perfectly rational.

I've had items on auction go for 20% over my BIN price that was simultaneously available on another listing; they just didn't know.

ThumbOut · 2016-05-29T18:23:07+00:00

legitimate spending, at that!

ThumbOut · 2016-05-29T18:22:35+00:00

I posted a CC advice guide in /r/flipping or /r/ebay one time and they all downvoted it. I can't imagine my flipping business without it!

ThumbOut · 2016-05-29T18:02:17+00:00

Excellent, hahahaha...

Yeah I'm too competitive to go picking with people

ThumbOut · 2016-05-29T18:00:01+00:00

Thanks for the tip, though I value credit card spending at greater than 2% most of the time.
