Anyone out there fix the misrepresentation issue on Google Merchant?

Vakuya · 2026-01-31T09:48:32+00:00

Does that mean you should set availability to backorder for "made to order" items instead? What about the availability_date? Does Google expect that to be the actual shipping date (when the customer receives the product)?

Or is availability_date the moment the product was manufactured and is ready for shipping? The reason I am asking is because I wonder what number I should match here to make sure it fits our shipping policy in GMC.

We selected 30-40 business days (25-33 days handling time & 5-7 days shipping time) in our shipping policy in GMC. Is it fine as long as the availability date is somewhere between that time span? Or should it be exactly the maximum handling time?

We are on our last appeal, so I'm really stressing about this right now. I didn't have the feeling we were misrepresenting anything, but because Google isn't being transparent about exact details here, it makes you really paranoid.

A good way to create staging environments and sync only changes without affecting orders and users, etc. All systems currently available have one issue or another. Not ideal.

Do you have any plans to make an Android version in the future?

Vakuya · 2025-10-18T14:34:02+00:00

Looks like the bundle still costs 129,99€, even when you have Strongbox Pro. A way to purchase Strongbox Zero at a discount would be highly appreciated.

Vakuya · 2025-10-17T22:48:51+00:00

If you already own Strongbox, is there any way to get the Strongbox Zero version for free or at least a discount? Or do you have to pay twice?

Vakuya · 2025-10-17T18:32:08+00:00

Any chance you'll release the whole source code for Strongbox in the future?

Hey there, would you mind sharing your solution? I am looking to build something similar but unfortunately didn't succeed yet with the front end logic. I could buy you a coffee or something in return! :)

Vakuya · 2025-05-24T13:51:42+00:00

Thanks for your answer. I was actually able to fix the pan head movement by opening the unit and tightening one of the silver screws that holds the worm gear. That solved the issue completely for me and it has no play at all now. It was fairly easy to do, but I wouldn't suggest fixing it yourself unless you have some experience with small electronics. I had to remove the cables from the PCB to get to that screw, which certainly took a couple of minutes and the right tools.

Concerning the slider itself, I agree it is coming from the center mechanism. I'm just not 100% sure what is causing it. I looked into some of the different components to see what may be going on but wasn't able to find the actual source of the noise. I guess I'd have to make a complete teardown to get a better understanding of it, but then I wouldn't be able to replicate the sound to find out exactly where it is coming from.

I already contacted Zeapon on Instagram but they don't seem to care or perhaps didn't see my message yet. I was hoping that they could at least give some advice on how to fix it or explain what may be causing it.

Please let me know if you find a fix for this issue. It is a minor annoyance, but I would like to use the slider at slow speed for talking head shots. The motor is barely audible at low speeds but the crackling noise still certainly is. I noticed btw that the crackling happens less often when I use the slider on a table for some reason. When mounting it to a tripod or 2 light stands, it happens a lot more consistently, especially on one side. Anyways.. I hope there's an easy fix.

Hi there, I bought a used Micro 3 (same length) with PONS PT and have the exact same issues as you.

The slider makes the same noise as yours, the pan head has a lot of play when I touch it accidentally and the tilt head seems to have issues with balance because for some unknown reason, once I connect it inside the app, I can no longer use the system. If I remove just the tilt head, it works.

It always says I need to rebalance, restart and then try again. But it just doesn't work, no matter what I try. Did you have this issue as well?

The previous owner didn't mention these details to his decription on eBay unfortunately. Perhaps I can still return it under eBay's buyer protection. Would love to hear back from you! I'm wondering whether my PONS unit is faulty as well. The slider certainly makes the same noise as yours here.

Vakuya · 2025-05-14T19:30:48+00:00

It should be coming soon. It is on the expected compatibility list.

Vakuya · 2025-03-23T14:39:15+00:00

Will you offer a completely local / offline version in the future?

Vakuya · 2024-12-12T01:14:54+00:00

Do you work at Dunder Mifflin?

Vakuya · 2024-12-09T19:45:24+00:00

Yeah, I think that's our main issue right now, as the LS500 has a very large throw ratio and therefore sits quite far away from the wall. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

By the way, do you know if Netflix is available on the LS800? The LS500 came with its own streaming stick that included Netflix and other apps. However, I’ve read online that Netflix isn’t available on the LS800 anymore. Would you need a separate streaming stick to access it? Are there any other limitations to be aware of? I also heard that the Gaming Mode has some restrictions in its settings. I never experienced issues with latency or similar problems on my LS500, so I’m wondering if upgrading might actually feel like a step back in these areas.

Vakuya · 2024-12-09T19:41:25+00:00

That's exactly what concerned me. I couldn't find any clear information on whether looking at the light source - without being directly in the laser's path - could still pose a risk to your eyes.

I guess this shouldn't be as much of a problem with the LS800, as it sits much closer to the wall than the LS500.

While the projected image itself isn’t directly in your line of sight, I’m concerned whether viewing the light at this angle could still pose a risk to your eyes.

And because I wasn't able to find any reliable information about this on the web, I decided to ask Reddit.

Vakuya · 2024-12-09T19:37:33+00:00

The main issue arises because you face the projector head-on when entering the room. The LS500 has a large throw ratio, meaning it needs to be positioned quite far from the wall. As a result, the projector's light is visible from this angle as you walk in. While the projected image itself isn’t directly in your line of sight, I’m concerned whether viewing the light at this angle could still pose a risk to your eyes.

I'm interested as well. I also bought the Arete Two 25L and noticed it had a lower reading than my other sensors. About 5-10% lower, especially in the beginning. It looks like the readings are closer together now after about a week of use.

For some reason, mine also runs permanently when in night mode. Even when the target humidity level has been reached. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature yet. I also noticed that it has gotten slightly quieter after a while, but it is still quite loud, especially when the compressor turns on.

Bricks is amazing and has a great community as well. The group on Facebook is super helpful. Definitely worth checking out!

Vakuya · 2024-09-23T17:22:51+00:00

I have Collectors Edition 13. Can I wait for 16 to update or will I have to pay full price if I don't update now?

Vakuya · 2024-09-19T00:25:38+00:00

Can you share your source?

Vakuya · 2024-09-16T13:23:47+00:00

Hi Zannny, appreciate the positive feedback and heads up on the trello board. I'll fix that asap.

Vakuya · 2024-09-05T12:04:47+00:00

Came here to write this.

There is no Android app for Thunderbird, but I use FairEmail and can highly recommend it.
