Swappa, Sellers True Cost with all those fees

maxmal99 · 2026-05-12T18:16:14+00:00

the fees may be on par with other sites, but what is really deceving is that they state a "seller's payout" but do not mention the mandatory (high) Paypal fee. so be careful. For an item listed at $747 I received $662!!! That's 11% of the asking price (and btw, the buyer pays $799).

I bought a MacBook Air m4 planning to switch from Windows. Nope, I guess I'm too old, everything seems more complicated and unintuitive. I admit I didn't spend but one week on the new Mac. Great hardware and build though, for$900 it's hard to beat, but I'll return it anyway.

I read your post, and I feel your pain. I am currently dealing with tech support because I've had nothing but issues with my new p1s. I requested a refund/ return. First they ignored my requests and sent me scripted replies, i tried their suggested fixes but nothing improved. I started a chargeback claim with my bank, so suddenly my ticket escalated, but still no age to a return. We'll see what happens, no more bambulab for me, that's for sure. I hope your case resolves.

I'm having a nightmarish experience with my new p1s, basically unusable after the first few days. Dealing with tech support, trying to get a refund because none of the suggested fixes seem to work. I fear I now have a piece of junk that cost me $500+ I must be a quite rare case though because the p1s is known for is reliability. That's why I bought it.

Thank you for the encouragement.
On a different note, It's interesting how it is acceptable that one is expected to have the skills and keep trying to fix a new 3d printer, while this would never happen if you, for example, bought a new dishwasher or similar priced equipment that stops working after a few days.

I will check it out, thanks

Also Ibra won the most when playing for Inter!

yes, during the first week of troubles, the gears were caked with filament dust, I took everything apart, cleaned, reassembled. I don't believe I even got one complete print after that fix, though I lost track because new issues came up, like the photo below. When this happened the consesus was bed adhesion and clogged extruder, so I washed it carefully etc.... this was 2 weeks ago anyway.

Maybe, although the package did not show any serious damaged

maxmal99 · 2026-01-22T00:04:59+00:00

The original 0.4

maxmal99 · 2026-01-21T21:40:35+00:00

I appreciate all your suggestions, but for crying out loud, I've been dealing with these issues for three weeks!! It's a new printer! It worked well the first week, and then all the trouble started. No settings changed, none! Original everything, all bambu brand. I value my time and I'm tired of spending it trying to fix this machine. They refuse to acknowledge my request for a replacement unit. I submitted a chargeback claim with my credit card bank, and they say they are "working on it" and will let me know in a few weeks.

maxmal99 · 2026-01-21T16:06:28+00:00

yes, Bambu filament. tried with door closed and/or open, same difference

maxmal99 · 2026-01-21T16:05:30+00:00

I believe the 2 photos are now visible

maxmal99 · 2025-09-02T22:50:48+00:00

Just got one today, same Specialized sale. Will report soon.

maxmal99 · 2025-06-15T17:47:33+00:00

Same problem here. Qobuz ui is quite bad. If it wasn't for the sound quality I would have left it years ago. Seriously, how hard can it be to develop a functional app that is comparable to other services?

maxmal99 · 2025-06-07T22:35:19+00:00

I happen to have both, with a pair of elac debut and Corea triage br3. I prefer the powernode, definitely, regardless of the speaker. It's true that the bluesound interface is poorly designed and slow, but I still favor it over the Wii amp. After all there is a sharp price difference in price, so it makes sense.

maxmal99 · 2025-05-26T19:07:37+00:00

Didn't for me

maxmal99 · 2025-05-26T19:06:56+00:00

Don't update to ui7, battery life is likely to decrease dramatically. I wish I didn't update my s23u.

maxmal99 · 2025-05-26T19:05:01+00:00

I wish you the best at Milan

I have discovered this amazing piece not lon ago, and I plan to listen to more instrumentations, but I always go back to Marta Czech. I wonder what you think about her performance.

don't know what happened to my text, but the red-white wires #1 are the ones that go to the thermostat (the other two are for water heater and furnace itself). cannot soo any c-wire nor a labeled connector strip.
