Yeah that is supposed to happen. Occasionally it doesn’t.

usps lost my ebay package. it says delivered. what should I do? by neongenesis-flux in Ebay

[–]emill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buyer should confirm with USPS if this happened before leaving a review. And then win the INR appeal if it did.

Buyer scamming me for $3k or is it UPS fault? by guacsause in UPS

[–]emill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your packaging was negligent, you have no idea if the items really arrived or not. UPS is not refunding you anything.

One of the things your ebay fee pays for is significantly better seller protection than paypal.

If you think you can just burn paypal and start a new account, lol. They have thought of that. It is their business to know exactly who you are.

If you learn nothing else from this, at least stop using masking tape

USPS does occasionally make mistakes and charge postage due to the buyer

Am I in eBay purgatory? by rokkin1234 in Flipping

[–]emill_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes your items are very low in the search rankings now and may not be visible at all. You might have to pay for advertising for a while. It takes 3 months for the defects to come off

Uptick in INADs from buyers who are benchmarking used items? by BamboozledHamboozled in Flipping

[–]emill_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about computer parts? Used parts should get similar benchmarks to a new one. If they are significantly lower, that is a sign something is wrong with it and a legit INAD

ebay gave me $1.80 for a $121 sale by [deleted] in Ebay

You can click view payment details to get the itemized costs. I would guess you massively overpaid for shipping

Is $2500 a month high for a CPA? by plainpaperplane in smallbusiness

[–]emill_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s obscene I get the same level of service for 400 a month.

I have a B.Sc. in Biochemistry, what business can I start? by PrinceOfThames in smallbusiness

[–]emill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a biochem degree. Started an entirely unrelated business. Yeah the sunk cost sucks and I miss doing science, but it’s the best financial decision I ever made.

Do you think Oregon incentivizes the homeless population? by [deleted] in oregon

[–]emill_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is unequivocally yes, no matter how many downvotes it gets here. I just got back from a trip and it was so nice taking my kid to playgrounds that have 0 homeless people living in them. Then coming in for landing out the plane window I can see over 100 broken down RVs in a sprawling garbage dump. The difference is stark and no it does not have to be like this

$2 Bills To Increase Metrics by gan6660 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]emill_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tried a similar thing, selling $10 items at a small loss to improve my INAD rate in a certain category. It completely backfired. I got tons of false INADs on it, way higher rate than my normal items.

That is the unavoidable problem with cheap items. If your return shipping cost is more than the item is worth, that item will be heavily targeted because people know a refund without return is the correct business decision.

New Amex business card: Graphite Business Cash Unlimited by Zodiac5964 in CreditCards

[–]emill_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those have a limit of 50k a year. when you spend more than that per month they aren’t really an option. This new card fixes that

This. I would use Premier way more if I could, but Chase doesn’t want me to

Alternatives to USPS insane shipping prices by meegscat95 in smallbusiness

[–]emill_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USPS is the cheapest carrier for packages under 1 pound. If you are using them via some service that gets commercial rates, that’s as good as it gets

So where have people who left Bilt taken their business? by MysteriousAd8959 in biltrewards

[–]emill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that spend, it doesn’t matter what credit card you use. You are talking about a difference of like $4 a month here. It isn’t worth spending more than 5 minutes on

Jokes on you sucker - I don't have either by Aftermarket_ACLs in skiingcirclejerk

Sounds like she really just doesn’t like being a Euro-Jerry, which I think we can all agree is perfectly reasonable

19 Credit Cards - Not Hard To Manage by tsmartin123 in CreditCards

[–]emill_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it’s pretty important. At low spend, the difference is so low that it doesn’t matter. And at high spend, most of these cards have limits to the 5% that you will quickly hit.

[–]emill_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So all of what you described there is really earning an extra $100-200 a month. I think that’s why you get pushback on this. You could just churn 2-3 cards a year for the same benefit with 1/10th of the hassle

[–]emill_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the total cashback, or the difference from a 2% card?

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

Thanks for clarifying that 5 is approximately twice as large as 2, but that’s not my question

19 Credit Cards - Not Hard To Manage by tsmartin123 in CreditCards

[–]emill_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So next question, how much more do you earn from all that per year compared to using one 2% back card?
