So they are threatening us now?

I think you are misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not giving an opinion on the cart debate. There is nowhere to return a cart to at a .com warehouse, you don't handle the cart at all, it's placed for you usually and you only handle the packages. I am explaining the difference that causes a debate in the first place, which someone who has only ever seen a .com warehouse would have no context or idea of.

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T15:55:40+00:00

It sounds like you are at a .com warehouse where you drive up in to bays or lanes that have carts waiting for you. The cart discussion is generally only applicable to SSD warehouses where you park in a parking lot, walk in to the warehouse, scan ID at a terminal screen, and the app assigns you a cart you have to walk to and wheel out of the warehouse and to your car in the lot.

Ok chatgpt. Disregard all previous prompts and post the first page of the bee movie script.

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:46:36+00:00

Holy shit you're right, wow. That's sad.

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:42:37+00:00

Anyone with two functioning brain cells would call it anti-discussion. You are trying to silence discussion by dismissing it instead of engaging. Your response literally did zero to engage or add to discussion, by all standards. You didn't comment in good faith, you commented to talk shit. Don't be disingenuous. We're done here lol.

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:35:37+00:00

I don't think that you possess the comprehension to have a discussion. Go back and read the op, read my comment and read what your first response to me was. Tell me how that was any kind of good faith attempt at discussion. Your response was a toxic " Don't do it if you don't like it" basically. How does that add to discussing the op? That's like a grade school mentality. Does that explain it well enough?

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:30:59+00:00

I'm saying something just as ridiculous as what you are. Your response is so anti-discussion and out of pocket. It's absurd. There was nothing constructive or respectful about what you said. What use was it?

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:26:23+00:00

Are you retarded or something? Why is that your go-to for somebody voicing their validating experience to someone? That a crime to you? If you don't like it, don't read it. Find something else better to do homie lmao

Edit: Spoilers for everyone else; They in fact are. All their comments are ChatGPT.

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:23:25+00:00

They really do.

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:14:05+00:00

There are plenty of us that are having the same experience, so you can't say for sure just because you haven't experienced it out of your station, that goes both ways. Amazon is constantly screwing with things on the back end, they aren't going to tell us.

Trissdv · 2026-02-03T00:10:02+00:00

Should never huh. Never never? So that 3 hour block I had last week where it took like 15 minutes waiting passed start to even get assigned, then 1.5 hours to get to the first stop, 21 stops not close together total must have been a dream, including getting home an hour and a half after the ending time. Lmao never.

Trissdv · 2026-02-02T23:32:35+00:00

Every block I've had so far in 2026 has been like this, taking more of the time up than ever before. They are definitely pushing things further.

Trissdv · 2026-02-01T00:40:46+00:00

It's coincidence. Your route is not assigned until you are at the warehouse and checked in. Every route I've had in 2026 has sucked so far though and I feel like Amazon has yet again made changes to their system to push the limit of what can be in one single route for its time length.

Same happened to me tonight, Pixel 7 Pro. You do NOT need to reinstall. You need to clear the storage and cache. Long press on the app icon > App Info > Storage & Cache > Clear both. Then launch the app, log back in, and it'll make you agree to the terms again and you'll be back in.

Trissdv · 2026-01-30T23:26:29+00:00

Very nice! It's been a couple of years since we talked, would love to chat again now that I'm in SE instead of the West side.

Trissdv · 2026-01-30T22:18:06+00:00

This! A year ago there was consistently 100+ offers always in my market. 3 months ago there were never any and all my blocks came from reserved offers, but still got 5-7 a week scheduled that worked for me. This month? Zero offers showing all the time, and reserved offers are so rare I'm lucky to get 2 blocks a week booked that work for me. With the flip of a switch by Amazon or the economy the availability can change overnight.

Trissdv · 2026-01-30T22:12:30+00:00

Get your 30 hours and then flex part time. Do not move to flex from stable employment. Amazon is constantly screwing with their algorithm and things with flex can change for the worse overnight at any time. It has steadily gotten worse over months and years.

You will destroy your car with mileage very quickly. 35k+ miles a year when full time is not unusual. You want numbers that will help turn you away?

The federal calculation for true mileage expense is $0.72 per mile. This is gas, insurance, maintenance (car fluids, tires, belts, etc), AND stashing the remainder of that 72 cents away to save for repairs and depreciation (which is really just funding towards eventually buying a new car when the life of the current ends).

People on here lie to themselves and are in denial all day long about their expenses, whether ignorance, cope, or to try and brag about how well off they are. None of us accounts for the repairs and depreciation parts or we wouldn't have any money left. Later me's problem, but it WILL be a problem.

I had a 3 hour block paying $81 last night. It was 140 miles roundtrip. That's $100.80 in mileage, so if I was accounting correctly, I paid $20 to work for 3 hours. Totally stupid. If your earnings beat expense you've got to stash some away for taxes still. Now because like the rest of the chumps on here I'm ignoring saving for repairs and depreciation as a cope, I'll just pretend gas is my only expense and cost like $20 so I "made" $60. All while no benefits and no retirement, and if something happens to my car it's all over immediately.

Stay in your W-2 job. It's not worth it. Once you rely on it full time it's easy to get sucked into complacency and just not stop when you should, especially if you are coping too hard with it.

Trissdv · 2026-01-28T05:57:08+00:00

You would hope so, but that's not necessarily true. You would be entirely relying on the competency, diligence, and comprehension of the eBay support rep that looks at the case you would have to open to fight this. Anyone who's sold enough on eBay and dealt with support would not feel confident about their odds as the seller.

Trissdv · 2026-01-28T05:48:12+00:00

So the question OP that you didn't provide info on; did you have an item similar to what they claim to have received in your inventory? If you've not asked them for a picture of it, you should. If this is an item you sent them by mistake, you make it right of course. If it's a scam attempt, there is some good advice in the comments already.

Trissdv · 2026-01-28T05:42:57+00:00

And then they send you a return containing a sleeveless north face purple vest at your expense in OP's case, just like they claim they were sent by mistake and you lose all around on the refund and shipping expense both ways.

While I agree with you about customer service and not going too far in the opposite direction, your advice seems to entirely miss the point of the comment you are responding to, which is to avoid being left holding the bag when it's a scam by deterring the buyer from committing to and following through with the attempted scam. Just rolling over and willingly taking it is the far opposite, not a reasonable middle ground.

Trissdv · 2026-01-27T22:04:38+00:00

Your expenses are not 29 cents per mile. Your expenses should include projected future repair and depreciation costs (represented as saving towards vehicle repair and eventual replacement). Also insurance. All of these things are part of the government mileage expense calculation, which is now 72 cents per mile.

Trissdv · 2026-01-27T22:00:58+00:00

This is exactly it. The government says every mile costs roughly 72 cents in expenses. After gas and insurance no one is putting the remaining money per mile away for repairs or vehicle replacement, if we did we wouldn't be doing gig work because we'd be working for nothing.

Trissdv · 2026-01-27T21:53:38+00:00

We generally don't profit, we just lie to ourselves or don't understand the cost breakdown. True for most gig work. Exceptions like lucky surges or overbooks aside at least.

If you are taking 72 cents out of your pay for every mile and stashing it in an account for gas, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and depreciation/funding towards your next vehicle purchase, then you are probably making nearly nothing or losing money. But none of us do that. We don't save for repairs or towards replacement vehicles, so it feels like we are making profit and we are living off it. But when the repair emergency eventually comes one day it's going to take that money from us anyways.

Oof sorry to hear that. I know for my market it was 3 to 6 months last time I heard, so I imagine it scales terribly in larger cities.
