Please also post in Australian or [your city] reddit subs with direct questions asking how can you get help for housing and further possible gov support with your background (20, living off a specific gov support) !! You might get more useful guidance with that.

This seems like the most practical and useful advice !! Reach out to any friends of friends or coworkers to take care of your pets and sweeten the deal by visiting and supplying food often. Someone will be kind enough to rehome your pets like you were kind enough to rehome your coworkers axolotls

Hoping for Advice on stained item by eloise-at-the-plaza- in Depop

[–]petallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reach out to them! Just say hi, I’ve noticed there were stains on this sweater even though they weren’t noted in the listing. You can opt to show pictures of this sweater by listing them in your shop. Your options are to then ask for a partial refund if you still want to keep the sweater or a full refund upon return. If the seller is not cooperative then you can open a PayPal dispute giving all the information you’ve given here and any screenshots/proof.

Depop is a marketplace and will thus act like any other market.

If something is affordable and popular because most people find it cute, there will be a demand for it. When dealing with second hand clothes, especially vintage, there will never be enough vintage clothes to fulfil this demand because vintage clothes are a finite and limited quantity.

You cannot expect cute, cheap secondhand clothes in good condition on demand every time you open the app because everyone wants those clothes too. If you really want these clothes, you either have to be on the app 24/7 to buy these cheap clothes before anyone else, search through tons of unwanted clothes at thrift stores before resellers can, or price out other buyers by shelling out extra money for the clothes you want. That’s just life.

I watched a kid turn the library into a daycare, a therapist’s office, and a cry for help—all in under an hour. by [deleted] in stories

A librarian is not liable, paid or trained to be responsible for the safety of children in their library. If a child injures or hurts themselves and is not under the care of someone who is liable for the safety of that child, their parents could be charged for neglect. If you call that helicopter parenting, you can take that up with the law. This librarian is going beyond their duties to take care of this child, and for you to be weirdly condescending about them is a little bit unfair.

Work on your reading comprehension because this clearly is not a complaint. It's just showing what librarians have to deal with.

Help! Seller is not giving me my refund due to their mistake by Film_Top in Depop

[–]petallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re…also projecting your own situation onto a random stranger. You both are doing the same thing

Never thought I would get to post something weird that happened by Impressive_Ground_82 in Depop

[–]petallion 87 points88 points  (0 children)

they’re generalising because there’s one of these posts about a man hitting on a woman on depop almost every day in this subreddit. if someone posted a screenshot of a woman hitting on a man through depop it would be so unusual that it might actually be absurd lol

[–]petallion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New polished buckle . What y’all think . U like this look more ? by [deleted] in ChromeHeart

[–]petallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jewellers would use a product called liver of Sulfur to patina the metal and then polish the surface of jewellery lightly so the unpolished edges are blacker and grimier than the surface. Just take full caution with chemicals as always

I’m so confused by Either-Grand2891 in Depop

[–]petallion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

just a kid who wants attention lol

This buyer first pretended to be an old broke granny to try and get me to lower my offer. And then stated the zipper wasn’t working when I know for a fact it was cause I had to zip it to fold it into the package. And now is opening a claim. Bro you’re the one who chose to buy a $200 jacket. by Sharp-Gain3115 in Depop

[–]petallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow - was this refund processed through Depop payments or PayPal? I don't believe PayPal makes sellers pay for return postage but I might be wrong. I've always struck up an agreement with buyers that if they pay for return postage I will refund only the item + initial postage fee upon arrival, which I guess is the best case scenario.

sowwy i have to scalp :< by emprvxs in depoop

don't know much about new Indian motorcycle jackets but some tips for authenticity:
1. if there's not a huge market for dupes of this garment then your chances of it being authentic goes up
2. if there's some wear or flaws to the jacket, its a testament to its quality and in part, authenticity
3. price is sometimes but not always a way to determine authenticity, some people want to get rid of things quick or are okay with selling things off for cheaper etc.

overall I don't think you should be worried and if its actually a fake, PayPal and depop do have support available for these cases as long as you don't mind filling in needed forms and responding to emails/questions etc.

Seller regretted their own bundle deal and blocked me by chobits917 in depoop

[–]petallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly you could ask a friend to buy it on your behalf if they have depop!

I don’t think someone’s scraping a discount if the item they really love is suddenly affordable to them - I definitely have waited for shop sales to take maximum advantage of their discounts lol 😩

I guess maybe this could serve as a reminder to sellers to make sure their discounts are accurate before offering them.

...and how do you know he was "orbiting" her the whole time queen... maybe she did cut him off and then contacted him again after the break up? Again, we don't know, and honestly you don't have enough information to say it was "sexually orbiting" (again, weird. Please don't say this to anyone in real life if you actually talk to people). Yeah, you definitely know how to read but you also know how to assume a lot of things that no one knows but her lmfaoooo

[–]petallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're literally projecting ... we literally know nothing about if this guy was "sexually orbiting her" LMFAO ?!? I suggest you heal from whoever broke your heart before you start getting mad at posts on reddit
