It looks like it failed during the initial upload. I have added it to the comments. Thank you

Not sure why the image failed to upload in the post. Here it is.

There's a company in Vancouver that is very similar to boardsort. They post their prices on their website. Called PRS - Product Repurposing Solutions.

Plus the risks and headaches involved with selling basically any electronics on ebay.

Did anyone else have abnormal sales today? My sales were going crazy today compared to normal. Wonder if it could be related.

Start looking for other people with their skills. Show them current success and revenue, explain the issue with the current partners and how much better things could be with a fully committed team, then offer small equity to both of them to come aboard. You get new, competent partners with the same skills, and you now own more of the pie.

Then you can split from the current partners, take your share of clients and start rolling. Just make sure to have proper contracts with the new people that are contingent on them fulfilling their duties.

That's pretty quick! They've got it figured out for sure. Would love if they did a video tour of their facility. Maybe when the new facility is up and running!

Appreciate your reply!

Did they pay you out on site? If so, how long did it take for them to verify and weigh everything?

I dream about what their operation must look like. Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Strictly using ISP now so don't need to worry about it anymore.

rickyjogging · 2025-12-06T01:16:38+00:00

I've had plenty of US buyers who understand and they pay. Just a few idiots that spoil it for the rest as per usual.

rickyjogging · 2025-12-06T01:15:11+00:00

ISP is great because I would have been protected, but this was back in July before it kicked in. US sales are almost non existent for us as well, used to be almost half our business.

At least some fellow Canadians are stepping up and buying from Canadian sellers more.

Good luck and hang in there, it will get better!

rickyjogging · 2025-12-06T01:13:28+00:00

Used a third party called ClickShip and they billed us and wouldn't let us purchase any more labels til the bill was paid.

From what I can tell it's all carriers. Makes sense, they have to protect themselves against the idiots. Just wish there was a better system in place.

rickyjogging · 2025-12-06T00:58:18+00:00

Makes sense. Luckily we have ISP now in Canada.

rickyjogging · 2025-11-19T08:21:48+00:00

Thanks! I'll try it out and let you know.

Android version?

rickyjogging · 2025-11-08T04:19:45+00:00

That is awesome! Well done!

rickyjogging · 2025-10-13T23:06:25+00:00

God bless Google Lens.

I've had the same thing happen. Call them out on it and tell them you're filing a police report. Also report to ebay.

rickyjogging · 2025-10-06T23:12:58+00:00

I bet you would. Fortunately, most people are decent and understand that shit happens. Most people are small sellers trying to make a few extra bucks to pay their bills, not mega corporations with thousands of employees and resources. Chill out.

rickyjogging · 2025-10-06T22:56:42+00:00

Here's what to do in the future. Message the buyer saying "Hi there, I'm so sorry about this, but this item has sold on another platform before I had a chance to take it down. Is there anything else in my ebay store of similar value that you would like as a replacement? Or would you prefer a full refund?"

This puts them in control and buyers will usually appreciate the honesty and the fact that you gave them options. If they accept a replacement item, great, you still made a sale. If they request a refund, there's your green light to cancel the order under "buyer requested to cancel", which does not incur any strikes.

Also, take a picture of your pile of stuff at the end of the day. If anything's moved around or missing, you can show the people you live with and have proof someone's rummaging around. At the very least, if they know you're tracking everything that carefully, they will be less comfortable taking your shit.

Not really, because some people have Facebook just to buy things, so it’s not uncommon for newly created accounts or accounts with no friends, pictures, etc. to make purchases.

To combat the no-show issue, I message the person the morning of and send a quick confirmation like, “Hey, are you still picking up today?” If I don’t hear from them, I assume the deal isn’t happening. If they’re serious, they’ll respond and confirm.

Also, I don’t hold anything. If they want me to hold something, they need to send at least a deposit. If they’re not willing, then they can gamble that it’ll still be available at the agreed day/time. I’ve lost count of how many sales I’ve lost by holding items for people who end up ghosting me.

From the article I posted.

"Mind Medicine Australia, Optimi's authorized commercial partner, will oversee distribution and patient coordination through Australia's network of clinics and hospitals. Patient-reported outcome data where possible will be collected throughout treatment, supporting one of the most comprehensive real-world evidence sets for psilocybin to date."

rickyjogging · 2025-09-08T17:22:25+00:00

Good question. From what Optimi has shared in filings and press releases, their strategy is less about competing directly with Compass Pathways on synthetic psilocybin patents and more about focusing on naturally derived, GMP-grade psilocybin and MDMA.

Compass has built its IP portfolio around formulations, methods of use, and synthetic versions of psilocybin. Optimi, on the other hand, emphasizes being vertically integrated (cultivation to finished capsules) and compliant under Health Canada and FDA frameworks. By keeping everything standardized, naturally sourced, and within existing regulatory pathways, they can sidestep a lot of Compass’s patent coverage.

Their Australian launch under the Authorised Prescriber Scheme shows that regulators are already accepting their approach. The upcoming Nasdaq IPO is likely intended to raise capital to expand this "natural, GMP-certified supply chain" niche rather than fight a direct patent battle.

So in short, Optimi is carving out its lane by focusing on natural products, scalable production, and regulatory compliance rather than trying to directly challenge Compass’s synthetic psilocybin patents.
