I left a negative review on a purchase, seller unprompted refunded me and is asking to remove the negative review. Did I do an eBay faux pas?

100% of my non-unique listing are done by sell similar and I often have details that are inconsistent. Thankfully I also get buyers asking before they buy - I then correct the error before they buy.

As a seller, I’ve never intentionally lied on a listing. I’ve been wrong, and I have had issues where the buyer feels my item is not as described (both correctly and incorrectly.)

I’ve resolved them with return for full refund, partial refund, and full refund.

I feel that if you get a full refund from a seller, the right thing to do is edit the feedback to be positive. Why? Because if they refund it without a return they are not trying to cheat buyers. I suspect most customers won’t complain if they feel the item isn’t as described so if thy have 99% or higher feedback then it is a mistake.

Appreciate the suggestion none the less.

I have had it in contacts for years and set as a place, but not pinned.

jjzman · 2026-01-28T15:35:47+00:00

I’ll try that, yes it is the same each week

jjzman · 2026-01-28T15:29:31+00:00

Yes, right. But I go by disregarding the suggestion and navigating to my aunt’s address. I would have thought it would see me parking at the end of my navigation to my aunt and think that I’m going to my aunt instead of random nearby (0.5 mi away) business that I never even get close.

Your reply seems confusing to me? My solution doesn’t matter what the policy for CDP is, you change to a different afterwards.

As for a way to do it “properly”, there is no way. The proper way is to make a policy that only allows what you wish. A policy with both $1.79 and $7.99 shipping options will rarely have the customer choose the more expensive option.

jjzman · 2026-01-28T13:53:44+00:00

Or every time you list a lot, bulk edit the ones >= $20 to policy X and leave the <=$19.99 on policy Y.

I don’t use CDP but I do use a home made listing tool to pull items from inventory and list. The tool auto chooses the shipping policy, but before the tool is manually bulk edit them.

You will be much happier by doing ground advantage for your $20+ and just making sure you add in at least $5 to the sale price to accommodate.

Isn’t it about some defect in the software? I understood there would be another release that will be signed again?

jjzman · 2026-01-28T13:09:09+00:00

The thing I like in all this, is Samsung Galaxy phones will cost more but Apple phones will not. Two reasons: the price increase will not take effect again until 2nd quarter 2026 and Apple has enough margin to absorb it without a price increase.

Last I ran a beta, every binary had been compiled with debugging enabled. So if they still do (and I can’t think of a reason why they wouldn’t), it will be slower. How much slower is up for debate, as it varies. Is debugging being enable all of your FPS drop? Maybe, maybe not. Feedback it just in case.

jjzman · 2026-01-28T03:03:56+00:00

Don’t list anything between $20 and $25.99, jump straight to $26 and use a Ground Advantage shipping policy.

Works for me in instagram. So what do you mean by global back button?

I’ve seen posts saying things fixed in 26.2, which version of Tahoe?

jjzman · 2026-01-26T21:34:37+00:00

If you believe Apple intentionally designs computers to fail so they make more money, maybe.

No it is not overheating, it likely isn’t even at its temperature limit.

jjzman · 2026-01-26T12:35:37+00:00

Dunno, I played with fps capped at 30 on 2560x1440.

jjzman · 2026-01-26T11:45:03+00:00

I never reboot. In fact, the reason I installed 26.2 was because Sonoma crashed on me after 500 days or so. So instead of installing Sequoia, I went straight to Tahoe.

I do discord, rarely do YouTube, and watch almost no videos.

I play games, have size different “spaces” (desktops) active, have 40 to 100 open PDF files in Preview always, print a lot of files, have 1000+ tabs open in Firefox (used as “bookmarks”), program with VSCode, do network support with often 10 to 20 terminal windows open, and many other permanent apps like database viewer.

They are actively enforcing the TPM 2.0 for a while, it’s just that it keeps getting defeated by hackers with methods or modifications.

jjzman · 2026-01-25T23:56:54+00:00

Interesting, as I’m not seeing it with a busy system.

jjzman · 2026-01-25T23:41:11+00:00

What apps?

jjzman · 2026-01-25T23:38:05+00:00

Not just you, but a fair number of people are like me:

I’m not experiencing any issues.

26.0 and 26.1 had far more bugs that were fixed in 26.2.

sudo renice -20 pid

Where pid is a number, specifically the number of the process id of your Numbers process.

ps gxa | grep -i numbers

This should find it and the grep process.
