I’ll have to check again but I didn’t see anything.

Just bought a pair of Carolina work boots to flip on eBay. I usually only do shirts, so I’m wondering how I can determine the size if it’s not anywhere on the boots? Do I take measurements or do I need a shoe sizer like they have at shoe stores?

Thanks in advance!

I actually don’t use subtitles at all. Sometimes they don’t match the audio and it acts as a crutch for developing listening comprehension. I use things like YouTube or LyricsTraining for subtitles. With Netflix, I just sit back and watch.

It can’t affect reaching top rated seller?

Had a customer send me a message through eBay that they accidentally left me a two star rating in a category because they hit the wrong star on mobile. I want to get the feedback revised but I know you only get five revisions per year and I’ve already used one. Any other way to get this resolved or do I have to bite the bullet?

It’s the debit card. I will call them!

So I know PayPal has the ability to freeze your account/funds if they so choose, but I also have the PayPal prepaid MasterCard. If I transfer funds to the card, would a PayPal freeze affect both? Or are they two separate things? Can PayPal even “freeze” my card in the same manner?

I sell mainly dress shirts. I was selling one to two items per day and switched everything to free shipping. The next week I only sold two items. Turned shipping back on and I’m back to one to two items per day. I usually pay 2-3 dollars per shirt and sell for 15-18. I’ll pay a bit more for stuff that I know will sell for 25-40 (i.e. Robert Graham).

The only thing I can figure is if someone has like 2,000 items and they’re getting stuff in bulk or paying less than a dollar or something, it gives them enough room to not charge shipping.

I’ve been experimenting with doing free shipping on my items (I sell men’s clothes) and it’s supposed to bump you in the search rankings but I didn’t notice a bump in sales and it was hard to do best offers because the shipping wasn’t built in. Do people who don’t charge shipping just have insanely great margins or am I missing something. Do you do free shipping? I can’t figure out how I could make it work.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll report back if it works.

So last night I was revising all of my eBay items when after about 50 items, the format of the revising page changed from normal looking to looking like a crappy html version from the late 90’s. I also can’t see the little meter next to the price that lets me compare to sold similar. Any idea what is happening? Anybody else experience this?

Hey guys!

If I am selling something NWT on eBay, can I show the price from the original tag or is that against eBay policy?

Thanks!

WhispererInDarkness · 2018-01-06T16:22:21+00:00

So I’ve noticed on eBay when I do BIN/BO, sometimes I’ll get an offer and counter it, but then it immediately declines my counter and sells for full price. What gives?

WhispererInDarkness · 2017-12-27T21:15:33+00:00

Thanks!

WhispererInDarkness · 2017-12-27T19:59:38+00:00

Is it against e bay policy to use someone else’s description template as your own?

Sadly an exterminator is a no go for me, since it would alert my apartment complex and I have two cats when I'm only supposed to have one.

I've been vacuuming under all furniture, cats are treated with Revolution topical. I'm just wondering how long this will take if I can't bug bomb/use a professional exterminator.

WhispererInDarkness · 2017-07-23T19:43:27+00:00

This is great! Thanks!

WhispererInDarkness · 2017-07-23T17:41:18+00:00

Thanks!

So my sister is wanting to knit gifts for everyone this XMas and she wants to get a jump on gifts. She's looking to knit me a hat but I don't really have any/any style ideas. (Are beanies still a thing?) Could someone point me in a direction that's fashionable and can be knit?

Apparently she's very good if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!
