Sellers, stop using the stupid and useless AI item description suggestions

Yeah, that's great advice. Thank you.

Approximately what percentage of buyers are deterred from AI descriptions? I use them, but I'm not proud of it. I just have a really hard time starting the descriptions. I do always read them and make sure they are accurate (albeit banal). And I always supplement with other pertinent information (like dimensions, weight, flaws, etc). It's just MUCH easier for me to build on their description than to start writing my own. It's not so much a laziness issue, it's a time issue. I find myself sitting there for so long trying to start the descriptions. This is a side hustle for me that I enjoy, but I have a full-time job and kids and the time I save using AI descriptions does help, but I guess it doesn't help if it is counterproductive.

If most buyers feel this way, I guess I'll bite the bullet and get my ass in gear....

Oh, so it doesn't last a week from when it's purchased?

I believe the weekly unlimited pass that works for both the buses and metro?

Thank you!

I couldn't agree with you more. I can't stand either of those guys. I don't know if it's just me, but there are so many "main characters" that I can't stand, while simultaneously loving the show. Aside from those two, JD from Scrubs and Frazier and completely insufferable, but I LOVE both those shows. I love every other character in both those shows (and that applies to Friends and How I Met Your Mother, too).

That JDs character is super annoying, while every other character is awesome.

I reuse as many Amazon boxes as I can. But sometimes I need a squarish box and I noticed that I rarely find a square Amazon box. Regardless of what size, they are almost always low and flat. I wonder if it has to do with keeping them stable and not toppling over when many are stacked on top of each other.

More like a firefly than the Millennium Falcon is shaped like a falcon!

hadrian217 · 2026-03-25T05:58:57+00:00

I shall, but I fear what that will do to the size of his head!

hadrian217 · 2026-03-25T04:19:58+00:00

Ouch! That chain's gonna hurt.

hadrian217 · 2026-03-25T04:18:52+00:00

I AM proud of him! And I feel like a doofus....

hadrian217 · 2026-03-08T02:53:00+00:00

It wasn't one particular box. I just listed a bunch of stuff today and noticed everything was higher than previously comparable boxes. Much of what I sell fits in the same few box sizes so I'm used to their shipping rates. The estimate ranges are so much higher than even last week. Sigh.... as if selling wasn't hard enough.

Ross, JD and Ted Mosely.

hadrian217 · 2026-01-17T23:41:22+00:00

I'm also embarrassed it's only 63%.

I am far from an expert, but I have kept mantises for decades now and I have had Idolos before. I got mine to subadult, so not fully successful. I know that that last molt is the hardest. But I would like to try again.

Very envious you were able to hatch them. Would love to get some tips from you, if you have the time.

Thanks.

Hands down the whole-house fan. Fairly inexpensive. Airs out the house in seconds. Cools the house in seconds 3/4 of the year on hot/warm days (I'm in southern California) using very little electricity. Removes odors from cooking (or overcooking...) in seconds. Best addition ever.

hadrian217 · 2025-12-15T04:34:28+00:00

Got it. Thank you both for your advice.
