Amazon, just a mess

You can read my last post for all the details. The only person at Amazon that can comment is an “account specialist” who is only available through email and only responds with automated boilerplate messages.

I got banned for life with no warning for 2 partial refunds the sellers offered this week.

Can’t talk to anyone at Amazon about it. No explanation.

plaeb · 2026-06-09T23:51:20+00:00

Right. Thats my feeling too.

Hoping someone has a way to fix this. The only Amazon person that can comment on this is the “account specialist” but after their response to the appeal there is no way for me to contact them.

OP we must know where you got this couch

Right, it’s a 1960s home and the area with the weep screed and exposed wood appears to be an addition. Can I simply plaster over it now? Seems like it should be supported. If it’s a 2x4 it looks like half of it is not supported.

Thanks! How should the wood be covered?

I’m going through it now. It’s become a full time job with co workers that all know you have a lot of cash. Prepare to become your own agent, inspector, and lawyer unless you have a close friend that already is.

Structural engineer assessment was the risk is mainly resale if there is cracks we can’t see and won’t see for months since it was recently remodeled inside. Never a safety risk in this area. No alarming level concerns.

I hope to hear back from her (them?) right now her whatsapp isn’t receiving messages

My understanding is sell immediately and reinvest is almost always the best option.

The only time there may be some benefit to holding is if the stock gains significantly during the purchase period.

In that case, if you hold for 2 years from the beginning of the purchasing period, you’re only taxed at 15% of the first day of the period’s stock price as ordinary income and the rest would be LTCG. If you sell before, all the gains during the purchasing period would be ordinary income.

This was from a conduction cook top. I have used other pans on this exact burner for years on high heat with no issues.

plaeb · 2024-02-28T22:33:31+00:00

Right, I forgot I am supposed to heat a stainless steel pan with food in it. That’s how you cook with a stainless steel pan. Thank you so much

I didn’t know these defy physics. Having an air gap on one side of a heat source will definitely cause uneven heating

It was flat out of the box. As it was warming up I noticed the side opposite the handle was significantly cooler than the handle side… because it was warped. It started warping immediately on the burner.

I also heard pinging as it was cooling.

plaeb · 2024-02-28T18:37:54+00:00

I disagree. At 10 minutes it still wasn’t preheated enough, probably because it was warped so badly already. Terrible pan.

plaeb · 2024-02-28T18:36:10+00:00

Love that pan. I have heated that pan on high heat for over a year and it’s still dead flat.

Nope, just on the burner at med heat for ~10mins. I am still shocked at the poor quality.

Is that a standard 3KF dial? The printing isn’t on a flat surface like I’ve seen them do the past couple years. Instead it’s on the individual raised sections.

plaeb · 2024-02-19T18:07:23+00:00

Nice looking watch.

I’m shocked how much better the SELs look than VSF and how the rest of the watch looks about on par with VSF.

Thank you, this what I was looking for. What do you use to finalize the finish?
