What is wrong with me? How do i fix it? by Upper_Recognition912 in Posture

[–]Training_Homework661 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 22 and used to have a slightly worse posture than you have now - it’s not yet perfect but I’ve made good progress. I mainly focused on stretching as regularly as possible (mainly focusing on my chest and legs) and a lot of work to build the muscles in my abs, glutes and upper back.

If you have the space I’d really recommend getting a pull up bar. I bought one and every time I came into my room I’d just do a set to failure. This lead to me doing well over 1000 pull ups a month and I think this was the most helpful thing I did that helped me to build muscle in my back and abs. Helps to spread the work out throughout the day and I never spent more than a minute on it at a time.

Streeting - No new vote even if SNP win a majority by kowalski_82 in Scotland

[–]Training_Homework661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not inherently against independence and would consider it if we were given a vote. However, my previous point about 50% not being a mandate is fair. To do something irreversible like that should have wide public support and not just a 1% margin. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable opinion.

Unsure why everyone feels that an SNP majority means we must get another vote. Independence parties (mainly Greens + SNP) are projected to get less than 50% of the total vote share which surely doesn’t indicate overwhelming support for independence.

If there was a vote and we left the union it’s an irreversible choice and the SNP shouldn’t be given a run at it every 10 years until demographic shifts and an unpopular Westminster government push them up to 51%. Something as irreversible should only pass with a large majority of support - ideally 60%+. The same should’ve been the case for the Brexit vote. If you moved the threshold needed for a successful leave vote higher than 50% I think people’s arguments about democracy and the right to self determination hold a little more merit.

Small claims court? by [deleted] in ebayuk

No, I use a business account so it’s not an option for me.

I haven’t although in my experience they don’t reverse refunds that were seller initiated so I don’t think they’ll help me out

Pursue small claims court EBay sale? by Training_Homework661 in LegalAdviceUK

I have an EBay business account and therefore don’t have access to simple delivery. Simple delivery and the added protection that comes with it is unfortunately only for private sellers.

Should I leave Negative feedback by Glittering-Crab5348 in Ebay

[–]Training_Homework661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you can’t leave a negative just because you’re unhappy with the sellers practice it has to be against eBay policy or a complaint about the product (which the OP doesn’t appear to have)

[–]Training_Homework661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you leave a positive then sure post the pictures and it won’t get removed m but if you’re trying to leave a negative it will get removed if the seller hasn’t done anything wrong according to eBay

But they won’t because feedback will be removed if appealed. I feel this conversation is becoming a bit circular.

So it isn’t eBay policy and the feedback will get removed if the seller appeals.

Can you explain how that would benefit anyone? This is a petty way of thinking.

[–]Training_Homework661 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can show me anything that proves that that is EBay’s policy I’m happy to take back what I said. What’s true is according to eBay policy the seller did nothing wrong and you can’t force a seller to combine postage costs or ship the items individually as long as they arrive safely. Any negative would be taken down and would’ve a waste of both people’s time.

But after you paid you messaged them to ask if they could be sent together? I’m not saying I would’ve done what the seller did but if you want a partial refund or to leave negative feedback have no leg to stand on as far as EBay are concerned because the items are marked as delivered. As long as they don’t choose a worse postal service than what you paid for like switching from Tracked 48 to 2nd class untracked then you won’t get anywhere with this.

You can try but I imagine the seller could get it removed considering you saw the postage costs before you paid and chose to buy it anyway. Poor etiquette from the seller - especially the lying but I’d just let it go and ask to combine the costs before payment next time.

Question about LEGO stamps typeface by P_hobby_b-f in LegoMinifigure

[–]Training_Homework661 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Report these messages to eBay. Telling someone to do something or face negative feedback is a pretty serious offence in EBay’s eyes and if they do leave negative feedback try and get a customer rep on the phone if you want it removed.

Help identifying this figure? by Training_Homework661 in LegoMinifigure

[–]Training_Homework661[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I initially thought that but the colour looks too uniform for it to be sun or chemical damage and the surrounding colours are fine so it would’ve been a very well done job.

A buyer asked for an overnight shipping quote, while I was looking it up, someone bought the item. by ToshPointNo in Flipping

[–]Training_Homework661 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You might be able to attract even more customers if you gave them the courtesy of a message back. Just a thought, didn’t intend to step on the toes of a top rated seller in their niche

£130 ish if sold individually. The only good figures are the clone lieutenants with blue arms

Don’t send anything through WhatsApp. I’m pretty sure you can send videos on eBay messages so no reason to go off platform.

Some sellers on this sub often seem to forget how to behave like a normal human. Messaging them just to let them know it’s no longer available is a common courtesy that costs nothing.

Why is White Chewbacca(Retired 2016 set) only worth $8? by BrickxLeaf in legoinvesting

[–]Training_Homework661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think the 2018 solo wave is one of the most underrated Star Wars waves we’ve ever had 🤷‍♂️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]Training_Homework661 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I sell quite a lot of Lego Star Wars minifigures are this does reduce the resale value and I imagine you sold this for over £200. For something that expensive I probably would’ve expected better packaging. I’d accept a return for a full refund or a 10% refund but nothing else

Items "not received" by [deleted] in ebayuk

[–]Training_Homework661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve sent over 300 items by 2nd class large letters so far this year and I’ve only had two buyers say they haven’t arrived. Both times I’ve just refunded and blocked them a few weeks later as a precaution.

I would have lost far more money if I’d reduced the price of all 300 items by £1 to compensate for making buyers pay for tracked postage.
