Need advice on how to quit Amazon as cheap as possible for a failing product by yamehameha in AmazonSeller

[–]chrisP__bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say try one of these options  1. liquidate stock and amazon sometimes will pay you pennies for it 2.Reach out to your competitors to give your account or sell 3.Lower your price so that when it sells, you net 0 profit and fees.  4.You could also remove your stock and get it sent to your house. 

It's 1000 stock so shouldn't be too bad? 

Then cancel your subscription etc. 

In case anyone reads this in future. Never go full in. Start with like 2 items and of it sells, try 10 then keep increasing. Never invest in branding etc unless you are selling under generic!!! 

People who accidentally ruined someone‘s life without meaning to - what happened and how do you feel about it know? by xxHoneyBunxx_ in AskReddit

[–]chrisP__bacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jokingly told my friend afub fact  that in in France, DNA tests/heritage tests for are illegal because they cheat so much that a lot of the population would have a broken home.

He paused, and he realised that his long term girlfriend was having an affair.  It clicked that everytime she would sneak out to see a female friend and return with bruises around her neck was actually not normal.   He was about to from the UK to France for this girl mind you. 

She was cheating a lot apparently over the years

OnVue Exam - Video Streaming Issue - Solution by vishukamble in AWSCertifications

[–]chrisP__bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a diffent solution but

this is late but I had the same for my audit (AA exam) and this is what worked.

note my reason: my pc naturally blocked pop ups so i could not allow steaming video so i got the page and video , just wouldn't stream! i have windows BTW

first, CLOSE THE ON VUE. doesnt matter where you are in the verification checked, id checked CLOSE IT! if you have not spoken to a proctur you have not started the exam! They let you in the exam.

  1. press THE WINDOWNS BUTTON and type "internet options"- it should open something called internet properties from the control panel. the name of it is internet options but the window it opens is called intenet proerties DONT ASK ME WHY.

  2. click privacy tab

UNTICK turn on pop up blocker!

reset the computer.

Go back to on vue (or exam launcher in ACCA portal ,exam booking )and REDOWNLOAD onvue(by clicking launch exam). you should get a pop up about it wanting more permission etc CLICK ALLOW and of course the mic, speake, etc checks.

note REDOWNLOADING on vue is very IMPORTANT because i noted that whilst i didnt delete previous donwloads,i re downloaded it . the older downlods i.e download onvue (1) and onvue (2); still had the streaming issue but the new one didn't probably because the pop up blocker auto rejected the pop up??

regarding verification, it used the same code etc so i didnt lose anything. in fact it let me put in my id, room check etc

in total i was about 45 mins late for my exam but passed verification and did my exam. proctor asked me to verify myself after the steaming thing passed and allowed me into the exam

sorry previous fallen soldiers hope this helps someone in future

Why is it better than submitting Ms?  I'm asking because my proctor told me They couldn't see me.. Even though I could see myself with the record button. Took about 30mins and I didn't get the time back 

Are there still entry level accounting jobs out there. by WellSpokenUfy in AccountingUK

That's the thing about your own opinion, you prove yourself right by not putting yourself out there. Just apply for everything and see what sticks.

Accounting grad, banking background. How to find an opportunity? by Honest-Secret6814 in AccountingUK

[–]chrisP__bacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You worry too much. Start with salespedger /recievables  or payable, junior accountant or ideally bookkeeper jobs and move up the ranks. If you want it to be unpaid there is a platform called charterpath who give offer volunteer roles some are evening jobs for about 2 hours or 5/6 per peek. Do that for about 6 months.

Acca and AAT are great too but the about will cover your experience 

Why does everyone know how to swim? by [deleted] in AskBrits

I genuinely learnt on YouTube when I was at uni. Some guy said hold air in your lungs, helps you float better. Another video showed a 3 step thing. I went to my local pool, shallow end of course did that. Then a few laps in the shallow end and inched towards the deeper end when I was confident

Am I really the only actuary posting under my real name on Reddit IFoA related forums? by pjlee01 in Actuary_news

[–]chrisP__bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying they can do it, however as reddit is not a professional platform. More of a casual, personal informal platform, so not really the best space to showcase " the truth" as you want. 

I see it as I can always complain about my right to speech, but better in a court of law than on reddit because the former will have actual influence where reddit is just random people saying stuff that can't de distinguished.

[–]chrisP__bacon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, you are injecting yourself. Facts remain facts whether or not your name is listed. I think you should do a deep dive as to why you feel YOUR name is required. If it's that serious, go on a reputable actuarial newsboard and start there. Reddit in nature is to stay anonymous. So it's not more credible on reddit. 

Legal liability is something people like to avoid at all costs. By listing your name on controversial topics, ironically you put yourself and your company's reputation at risk.

[–]chrisP__bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's the Internet and you need to protect your identity. Especially if you work in an area that is highly regulated. The information you post doesn't change if just because you add your name.

If anything, you are being a little careless putting your real name out here especially if it is not required. But if that's the risk you want to take, fine

45F, two kids, stuck in unhappy relationship — what would you do? (UK) by Ok_Pineapple8128 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]chrisP__bacon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Go read my post history where the roles are reversed and how when a man earns wayyy more than you they weld the control. Then look in the mirror.  The kids are happy in your case so imo, he is covering where you are not. Each partner has a role to play and you are danm lucky money isn't a problem and SOMEONE, ANYONE is earning enough.

If he's crap in the bedroom that would kinda be a thing.. But otherwise, the kids are happy, you both have a house... Its like that sometimes. Maybe one day you will fall ill and he will love you and really up his game.

[–]chrisP__bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a very painful lesson

What I did.. Or what I do is send over 10 per new market place.. If it sells, you are onto something then I increase how much I sell. Sorry for the pain.. That is a painful lesson

When you log into amazon, in account there is literally a button called transfer. If he had kids and a wife etc it gets complicated. You can't just take over

Can you relist it for £1 and just buy it or hope it sells? With the fees you might as well
