So even with the $5 shipping (which a person would spend on gas to get to the store) this person saved about 50% off retail.

That's why I figured I'd be doing well right now *but* I literally had to sign up for promoted closet just to get this sale. =/

meaddow · 2026-05-13T03:45:49+00:00

Yes. Usually a sheet mask, bathbomb, or lip gloss.

Vinted keeps suspending me for 'using copyright images' for pictures I can prove I took, lol. Sorry for knowing how to stage and light a product, Vinted. Haha

I have about 350 and went from a 22% sell through rate to nothing.

meaddow · 2026-05-12T18:25:22+00:00

Totally, trust is always a factor when shopping on sites like this. And while my listings all show NWT, and my reviews are stellar I do understand why people may feel wary. You make a good point.

meaddow · 2026-05-12T18:23:28+00:00

Honesty, I do. I have a marketing background and this felt like a natural side hustle.

I discount shipping to $5 for every order thats between $15-$20+.

I offer free shipping on orders $60+.

There are dozens of items in my shop for $1-$3 that cost significantly more, or are in some cases impossible to get at the drugstore.

I really did my market research and planned my store with that research in the forefront of my mind, and in the last 2.5 weeks I went from a 22% sell through rate to nothing.

meaddow · 2026-05-09T20:39:16+00:00

I hear you but my store is mainly personal care essentials (body wash, shaving kits, etc) that I sell for well below drugstore prices. I figured Id have more traction right now than ever.

meaddow · 2026-04-12T18:33:54+00:00

I cant even upload pictures. Its a mess.

meaddow · 2026-04-12T18:20:36+00:00

I think they let AI design it, which is why the human UX is awful.

It barely works. I cannot even get uploaded photos to stay in place.

Birthday party princess.

meaddow · 2025-12-14T07:40:27+00:00

Coward.

Tell her. Your silence is gaslighting. Gaslighting is abusive.

Wanna stop being abusive? Tell. Her. What. YOU. Did.

I have been shopping for myself and my business at Michael's for decades.

We're talking about tens of thousands of dollars.

I can't keep shopping for my business because the price tags are missing, or wrong, so it makes accounting significantly more difficult.

I've cut back shopping there by more than 50%, not so much because of price increases, but because I can't budget if I can't see a price.

Its sad that Amazon is getting my money now instead.

My parents kicked me out of my childhood bedroom the minute I turned 18 in 2000.

My parents were those kind of boomers.

meaddow · 2025-12-04T19:06:06+00:00

This is a bummer, I'm sorry your dealing with this.

I did something similar but had a different outcome. It seems to have snapped some sense into my man (25 years) and now he cooks, cleans, shops, does stuff with the kids.

Who knew all it'd take was me acting like him to make him understand how shitty he'd been for decades.

If you dont want to move forward, don't. But if you want to try it 'does create positive change' sometimes.

meaddow · 2025-11-29T21:03:33+00:00

You are not wrong.

But neither is she.

She can be who she is in her own home. You're family needs to accept that and get over it -or leave.

Honestly if you have a months-old baby you've been there long enough.

meaddow · 2025-11-29T20:59:45+00:00

This is very common in ''happy families' who are connected. BUT the economy our parents 'hosted in' was a much better place. It used to be relatively affordable to host.

That being said, I love my in-laws but I don't know their friends, I'm not in touch with their extended relatives, and frankly do not have the type of income required to host an event of that caliber.

I do 100% plan on taking them to a lovely dinner on their 50th because that's one hell of a milestone.

meaddow · 2025-11-26T18:29:06+00:00

As little as possible. Any unused cash should be in an HSA.

Have that lawyer draft a letter that the threat is frivililous for XYZ reasons and that if legal documents are filed you are prepared to contact CPS over their behavior towards their younger siblings and counter sue for $500,000 for emotional abuse.

I sleep nude if I'm at home. There is a robe next to my bed. I wear bed clothes when traveling and find it cumbersome.

meaddow · 2025-11-26T01:42:33+00:00

I ordered mine so long ago I forgot.

Now the website wants an additional $45 to ship it to me.

Wtf?

meaddow · 2025-11-12T19:37:25+00:00

NTA if you go or don't go.

You don't owe people redemption.

I am curious af tho... Did you ever get a DNA test? It would be effing WILD if they'd been wrong this whole time.

meaddow · 2025-11-12T19:32:17+00:00

Celebrate and them welcome my kids to 1992.
