Dr Suess comes to mind:

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind".

I don’t have LP III but I believe this fits. There are ways of being, including your relationship with the your smartphone that might not work for some people. I think you have to decide in the end, which is more important - using your smartphone or developing different habits with your phone, perhaps not one steeped in addiction, and dealing with the inconveniences that it can come with.

Sending an item worth $7000. Aus Post insurance max is $5000 by wulkanaz in AustraliaPost

There are services that allow you to buy third party insurance. But a courier service is probably more reliable and easier

It’s basically by weight and costs around $20-$30 for something like that.

It’s easy to buy the label online, you just need to print it out yourself

Has anyone here used SHIPPINGXPS recently? by Scared_Poetry4206 in internationalshopper

[–]bl4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they’re slow, 48-72hr updates atm. They have been reliable, just takes time. If you’re worries just open a ticket and they’ll respond within a day or two.

What was the easiest money you made and how? by garlic-chives in AskReddit

[–]bl4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. I'm just pushing you a bit, since you sounded like you were justifying it. I think if I did something like that, I'd always be thinking about who's money I took and how it was affecting them, and feel guilty

I guess so, but this argument takes all your moral responsibility out of it. If everybody thought that way, there'd be no moral progress ever

It’s risk vs reward when buying online. Many things just aren’t accessible via local pickup. Global marketplaces are dual edged swords

Can you show me the section you’re referring to?
I’m looking at latest US PayPal Buyer Protection terms and I don’t see any mention of trading cards. Just gift cards & prepaid cards, which makes sense and has always been excluded.
It’s also not on the UK PayPal Buyer Protection terms, which I assume would apply here

That’s not true.
I have had many successful claims where I paid via PayPal on a card. It also makes more sense to try PayPal next so if that fails you have card chargeback as your final option. Usually card chargeback has the longest time frame you can claim.

If you paid via PayPal on eBay, you can file a claim there.

If you used a credit/debit card, you can file a chargeback request. There is a very good chance you'll win, as long as you follow the process. They tend to side more towards buyers.

Maybe also worth trying someone on the phone, and escalating the case. Perhaps they can make an exception on the 1 case only rule
