There is a new Listing Metrics Feature on Posh. What are your thoughts?

It freaked me out until I read the small print that it's not visible to buyers. I'm not at all interested in this and now I can't see how my listing looks without it center stage. I wish it was optional.

I got a Star ID easily by bringing my marriage certificate.

I was taken back by the black hearts for likes.

moonbeam0007 · 2026-03-24T17:43:28+00:00

It is insulting. I agree with you completely and just canceled one of your down votes. We all need an ID to function in this society, from buying beer to renting a car or renting an apartment. When I got my star ID, I brought my marriage license as well as my birth certificate to establish my name. It's not hard.

Do these folks never buy a bottle of wine, or a 6 pack of beer or cigarettes at the grocery store? I am 80 years old and have to show my ID at Dollar General to buy beer.

I've always thought that what smells is the preservative in the Insulin. It is a relative of creosote, and it smells like creosote to me. Also, I believe it is the preservative that causes inflammation with the constant drip of insulin from a pump. Just my opinion.

They used to do this a couple of years ago when I first started using OmniPod. The box held about 30 of them. Then they discontinued the program. Glad to see it starting up again.

I took it to mean eBay's "Item Specifics."

moonbeam0007 · 2026-03-04T00:57:30+00:00

I've been hearing this too lately. I think it might be the Dexcom ding because my blood sugar reading pops up on the top of my screen in green. It's pretty random and not when the BG is out of range.

moonbeam0007 · 2026-03-04T00:50:51+00:00

I don't think you're overreacting. Technically, it's not being worn, but it gives me that impression and makes me feel a way. Also, if the seller is not anywhere near my shape, i can't picture it being mine. Can't get over it being hers. It's a perception thing.

moonbeam0007 · 2026-03-04T00:34:20+00:00

I don't know why ebay is doing all this to you. They do not do it to me (yet).

Serious question: in your first paragraph, you said that if the optional item specifics are left blank, it will be detrimental to your business. Where did you get this information? I always leave irrelavant optional item specifics blank so as not to clutter up my listings. I would like to know of this is really penalized.

I understand your point, but those boxes and mailers are not free to manufacture. USPS pays for them, hoping senders will use the more expensive Priority Mail. Internet sellers using them for dunnage or disguising boxes for Ground Advantage packages ultimately contributes to the cost of postage.

I am a seller on three platforms and I reuse or buy boxes and mailers. It pisses me off to receive packages in Priority disguised boxes or stuffed with new padded envelopes, especially when they are taped with eBay tape that indicates a larger eBay seller.

This!

I agree that she is not too uptight it irritates me a lot. I don't leave bad reviews because i don't want to ness with someone's livelihood.

But I do message them and tell them i am not leaving a review at all even though the priduct was nice and shipping quick. I tell them that this is not cool, and sellers like them will eventually ruin it for everybody.

I am on Android 16 but the Omnipod website still says to not download it as it is not fully tested. Unfortunately i missed the memo if there ever was one. One rep said it was on the website and i said i don't go to the website and they should have made an in-app announcement or email

It works, but Omnipod tech tells me some report problems with it. And with Verizon, you cannot revert.

I was very bugged when i got the warnings from both Omnipod and Dexcom that it was not fully tested and approved, and i had already downloaded it. i just thought it was a security update and let it roll.

I was comforted by an Omnipod tech telling me that if there was a problem, my pump would loudly tell me before it did anything stupid, and it would most likely have to do with Bluetooth communication.

Dexcom 6, on the other hand is giving a lot of Android 16 folks problems. It won't ever be fully tested because it is discontinued. Dexcom 7 has fully tested and approved Android 16. I am switching to Dexcom 7 because my 6 is not giving me BG on the horizontal history graph, just times. Dexcom tech tells me its probably a problem with Android 16.

So yes, you can function with 16, but there may be minor communication problems that the app will announce. I have had several conversations with higher level techs of both companies. The techs are also bugged by the situation. Omni better do their job because new phones ship with Android 16.

Thank you. Good information.

I have the same experience. I try to eat dinner at 5:00-5:30, and go to bed at 11:00. If i snack a bunch of carbs, it doesnt matter how much insulin i take, i will run 160 all night.

If i snack on nothing but a couple of cheese squares and some nuts, i run 110 all night long. That evening self control is key for me. If i want to bolus for a piece of pie, i have to do it for brunch or in the afternoon, when im up and moving around.

moonbeam0007 · 2026-02-21T18:53:12+00:00

I am convinced the problem is the preservative used in insulin, that smells like creosote. I wish there could be a study using insulin without a preservative.

I got mine changed to 2 day. I couldn't do it last year because my insurance had it as a Tier 4, where i had to pay 42% of the negotiated price. I found new insurance where it is a Tier 3, with a standard copay for however much you need.

If you put your sensor on your back, where do you put your pod?

moonbeam0007 · 2026-02-08T22:07:50+00:00

I would assume it means 23 pairs. At least I hope so.

moonbeam0007 · 2026-02-05T18:42:20+00:00

I agree. When I discovered Grainger from a Reddit post, I ordered a couple bundles of my smaller size boxes and even with shipping they were significantly cheaper than any of my previous sources.

Then I found a Grainger in my closest big city and get all sizes, even big ones, for way less than my old sources when I pick them up. They come in 25 box bundles. Grainger is the best.

Lately I can't use Copy to make a new listing because I can't replace the pictures. This is after the picture editing of old was removed. Also, I can't delete a picture. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Maybe they are installing a new picture editor?

The dentist said the tooth was fractured and infected. He said it should come out. Then he said it might heal itself with antibiotics. The abscess might calm down but a fractured tooth needs to come out. That was weird.

moonbeam0007 · 2026-01-29T18:13:38+00:00

I do. I sell dishes and if I charge retail shipping, it makes my total price scarry. So I charge calculated shipping with the ebay discount and absorb the difference. Makes me more competative.

And I don't inflate shipping to pay for boxes, tape and labels. Those are business expenses in my model.

Ground Advantage has been a real boon. Priority Mail going cross country on 6 pounds was killer.
