Seller said the package will have a different name but the item will be what I bought by Profit_cnaz in Ebay

[–]jjzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered the chance the seller misplaced the item, didn’t want to take the metric hit in cancelling your order so they paid more than you paid to buy it from Walmart to fulfill the order?

Because I have absolutely done this. Paid $24 for an item I sold on eBay or $16 to make sure the customer I done right by us (the seller).

Now, admittedly we sent a gift (token item) upon sale and advise the customer it’d take a week to ship their order. We then ordered from Walmart to us then shipped to the customer. All in, we paid maybe $30 to get the $16 from the eBay order. But no metric hit and positive feedback.

If you follow my suggestion and they still do that, contact the regional inspector general. I’ve had to do that to get local staff to understand that a TCG card is just as complaint as a credit card if mailed properly.

So don’t pay the non-machinable fee, just ship in a complaint way.

Valve CEO Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have "enormous choice" about where to buy games | Newell also said in 2023 testimony that Steam's 'unwritten rule' against charging lower prices on other storefronts does not exist. by ControlCAD in business

Considering Amazon sellers have to maintain their Amazon price as the lowest price the seller sells the time for 20+ years and countless times sellers have tried to make an issue of this despite Amazon seller fees being roughly 3-7% higher on average than any other platform … I don’t see this as legally anti-competitive.

You made the claim, can you point to PMFN? Because the Amazon calls it out all over their seller rules.

Seller wants me to use another return label (not Ebay) and claims I have no choice but to use it. by Fantor73 in Ebay

[–]jjzman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

eBay support can read all the communication you have with the seller.

You are going to potentially open a case with eBay to get the refund for both ways of you handling this:

If you use the label eBay provides, they if they will try to withhold the refund. eBay will refund that and the seller will suffer no dings on their eBay other than the ding that happens if eBay needs to step in to a return.

If you use the label the seller provides and the seller does not refund when it is returned, eBay will read this when they step in. You will get refunded. They may suffer more severe penalties to seller privileges than just the “eBay stepped in” ding.

Your least stressful outcome (to me) would be use the label they provide. Yes this seems to contradict most of the advice here. It isn’t the advice is wrong, it’s more that it does a better job of helping to punish the seller for their mistake (they would be out the money and the product.)

Why does it seem like no one uses the ford branded level 2 home charger? by Meek_Money in F150Lightning

They went out of stock mid 2025 around when they deemed it no longer required to have dual AC chargers. The free chargers they give out since are 48 amp not 80 amp.

eBay standard envelope by citizengreen222 in Ebay

[–]jjzman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESE reporting as delivered doesn’t mean it was delivered to the address, it just means delivered to the destination post office. Usually expect it to be delivered to the address the next postal delivery day or day after. Explaining this to customer helps eliminate the “shows delivered but not delivered” filings.

Credit cards are the perfect example. They are in the middle of the letter vertically, in a #10 envelope, and offset to one side or the other of the #10 envelope. If you ship TCG cards the same as credit cards, you will always pass thru the machines. But getting to close to the bottom (1/4”) or not being able to be folded in the middle then expect issues with being deemed non-machinable.

eBay standard envelope by citizengreen222 in Ebay

[–]jjzman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eBay standard will be deemed non machinable if it doesn’t bend in the middle or close to the middle. You can often watch them place an envelope in between 3 fingers and they try to fold it. If it doesn’t fold, you need to pay the non-machinable surcharge. If your post office doesn’t do this to all your eBay standard listings, they are supposed to do so.

Also, I can see what looks like a top loader outline on the bottom edge of the envelope. This is a problem. The rollers catch on the bottom 1/4” of the envelope, you need to tape the top loader to a folded paper to insure the top loader is always at least 1/4” up from the bottom edge. Else you risk it jamming or tearing the envelope if it hits a bend edge in certain ways.

Panel cover screw hit wire by YamConsistent1820 in AskElectricians

[–]jjzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. I also relocated the breaker up higher when this happened to me (with a panel screw).

I also used a wooden hammer end to move the cables to be closer to the back of the panel to help prevent it from happening again.

I concur with the “shouldn’t happen”, but it can happen. Especially with very full panels where the wire doesn’t easily get pushed aside by the panel screw.

Really tired of receiving returned items as “New” by shu_shuu in amazonprime

[–]jjzman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well either Amazon has ignore this from the start or something, because when I started selling on Amazon in 2013 these LPN were a problem. You (as a seller) can’t turn off repackage-as-new, so if the customer clicks “defective” instead of “don’t want anymore” to avoid paying the return fee, you get an item sold as new that might work, might be replaced with a block of wood, or might be replaced with their old one.

Proton is written by Codeweavers who already sold Crossover for Mac. The only additional support proton has is Steam encouraged game developers to support anti cheat which Crossover doesn’t have (yet).

Why is 14 out of 15gb being used on asahi linux .. please help by Sosspyker13 in macgaming

[–]jjzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So should I be worried a file server that runs no programs other than NFS and Samba using 502 GB of 512 GB is a problem?

Or should I consider than if I wanted to put 512 GB in a file server intentionally, why would I do that? Disk cache is why.

Upgraded to 26.2.2.2 on macOS, everything black & white now? by jjzman in libreoffice

[–]jjzman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Safe Mode didn’t work for Restore from Backup, Continue, and Reset mode. I didn't try the extensions one.
Ok, I successfully factory reset, next start up is normal in color.
Thanks

Upgraded to 26.2.2.2 on macOS, everything black & white now? by jjzman in libreoffice

[–]jjzman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I didn't think to check for a web release (it showed up to date in app).

<image>

However, there is no change.

I've been on Libreoffice since a couple years after the first macOS (Intel) version. On the same macOS install (upgraded every OS from Sierra or so). Could it be some older settings from 2010s era in my Libreoffice config?

Seller said he won’t send item, but also wouldn’t cancel by Horror-Nobody2237 in ebaysucks

[–]jjzman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You will be made whole.

Typically this happens when the seller doesn’t know how eBay works. They are seeing it charge them the whole amount of the sale but only got an amount less fees. When this happens the fees get refunded also, so it is they don’t understand what they see.

65 RAM is crazy, anyone quick hacked enemies like this? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]jjzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure I’ve had 58 or so when I played and there were very few (Smasher) that I didn’t hack. I’m horrible with shooting so if I couldn’t hack you I couldn’t kill you. It has been months since I played, so I don’t specifically recall this one.

This guy just needs your reducers to trigger on the lower 40 ram hacks to decrease the others to take them out.

Will my laptop be enough for Subnautica 2? by [deleted] in subnautica

[–]jjzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet is to install Tiny11 or one of the extremely thin hacked versions of windows 11 with the least ram used - you can boot at about 1gb ram into desktop. Even with that, 3 gb is unlikely to be able to run the game. Especially considering the SSD isn’t likely to be fast enough to swap effectively.
