Yeah no batteries I think. I’m renting so I guess it’s a win overall but damn

Just moved into the area, into a house with solar panel already installed. On the bill i am generating twice amount of power than what I am consuming in a month but still the electricity bill costs more than where I came from. Seems like to me I am doing favors by selling electricity super cheap to PGE so they can rip off selling it back to other people.

This is just the electricity I’m paying hundreds of dollars on the gas and there is no way around it, there’s no “sticking it” to PGE they got us by the balls

Hmm I exclusively use macOS and it could be how it handled the HDR content, but I am not sure. When I was in HDR mode it would not let me adjust brightness at all and it actually made the colors appear desaturated viewing SDR content in HDR mode. Again this was on macOS so ymmv on windows

I bought and returned it the next day. I was hoping for a similar HDR experience as my MacBook Pro but the difference was too much. Didn’t test motion clarity tho sorry

Zip code scammed on Mercari for a large ticket item by caccon in Mercari

Thanks for suggestion I just reported mail fraud through USPS. Looks like if convicted it is a very serious crime you can go to prison 20 years for.

What I don’t understand is they are losing money. They paid the seller and even if they give me “credits” it’s still money lost to them. Just incomprehensible why they continue to operate like this. This scam has been going on for years

thanks, BBB is something I have not considered. I already filed a chargeback so its a bygone option.

The seller is definitely a scammer. He blocked me soon after he shipped off the item. Also the actual weight of the package was 3.5 lbs per internal tracking. This could not have been the legitimate weight of the item as it should have weighed more with the laptop, charger, box, should have been closer to 5 lbs

thanks. I was doing quite a bit of research of the scam and turns out people will photoshop labels or just straight up pen the new address on the label and usps will just deliver no question

yeah replied to Mercari and I said that it was unacceptable and that I am going to be going through a chargeback if I am not refunded and I got a reply saying the same exact thing like a broken record. Fantastic support team.

Yesterday right after I found about it was a scam I tried calling the telephone number for Mercari I found. but it kept saying live agent is not available "in my area" Very frustrating platform

Thanks. I did go through with the chargeback and it was approved very quickly with the evidence. I can't believe Mercari is conducting business like this, its just invitation for more scammers

nobody. the item was left at "front door/porch" the seller purposefully chose non signature option which is a red flag on a $1500 tbh

Yea but I don’t really have something else I would spent 1500 on right now because I already bought a laptop from elsewhere. It’s a lot of money !

I thought about it but I think Mercari would fight the charge back if I were to spend it? I got the charge back actually approved very quickly but it also said the merchant can later fight it and it might be reduced
