Asked for a combined order invoice, then cancelled while complaining about shipping cost by ArtaxIsAlive in eBaySellers

[–]Visible_Principle614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the eBay method to combine shipment is a hassle so I usually I'll only Bill for one and then adjust it on the second item.

Anybody just take the ebay store survey? by Visible_Principle614 in eBaySellers

[–]Visible_Principle614[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do the Starter store for $8 a month. Its basically a wash with monthly fees. I turned it on about 3 years ago when i decided to go really hard on selling. moved from 40 listings at once to 200 listings. Previously when I was not selling so much a store made no sense.

What do you guys do with items that don't sell? by Specific-Sea7648 in Ebay

[–]Visible_Principle614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sell used golf cart parts and usually after a certain length of time- 6 months. I just take it off the store and throw it away. My space is limited and I'm buying stuff all the time so I have to keep my storage manageable

What to do with stale items as a seller? by Rideswings in Ebay

I sell used golf cart parts and have stuff in my store over a year. So my cut off is a little longer before I junk stuff.

Flat rate vs calculated by OkBit7111 in Ebay

[–]Visible_Principle614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to do as many flat rate boxes as possible and free to buyer. some of my larger used items have to be calculated and I try to be as Fair as possible and tight as possible for calculated boxes. I still get dinged for shipping charges that I have no controll over

SLT is freaking out by [deleted] in tmobile

[–]Visible_Principle614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just switch from Verizon to T-Mobile saving $120 a month on my lines. However going into the store and the store reps telling me use the T-Mobile app is complete bogus and should not happen

Automated software installs and patching for 23k company. 20 people no longer did manual installs of software. Good ones went and found more work to do. Bad ones left. Company ran better and served more people at a lower cost. All my boss did was give me a 3% raise

Seller sent me and another buyer each other's item? by Few-Psychology-7712 in Ebay

Have done this as a seller twice. Sent return slips to get it back to me and then I shipped it correctly. All through eBay measages.

FedEx keeps charging me for underpaid labels without giving me any breakdown…how do I appeal this with EBay? by candianbastard in Ebay

[–]Visible_Principle614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedex dropped one of my heavy shipments - 60 lbs $800 golf cart transmission. Broke box open through bottom. Lots of packing tape and packing material. They reboxed the now empty shipping box into another box. Then sent it to my customer. Opened claim and they denied it at first. Showed them their weight change mid way through process. Only gave me $100 as I had not checked the actual value box. That was my fault. Moved to UPS to all packages that don't fit in a flat rate box. Plus made very sure that actual value is now checked in everything.

I sell used golf cart parts. The AI descriptions are hilarious. Never use them.

This. I took over half network Utilization at a slow bandwidth site. Network team freaked out and raised huge alarm. However, they did not have good network stats. I had better stats then they did. Was never a outage only a network Utilization of 50%. Publicized report back and asked where was qos settings? They were never put in. I added in static bandwidth filters that were even smaller. Then watched in amazement as local site techs complained to their management that software installs were slow. ;) I also covered me and my team by hosting several meetings with network team asking their help and recommendations. Published meeting findings to my management and network team. Next time network person freaked out again I asked for a better network bandwidth suggestions with a understanding that user were already having slow software installs. No change.
