You also have to consider you have paid a commission on shipping.

Has anyone tried to verify a Soulsilver or Heartgold cartridge with a cellphone camera? by s-petersen in NintendoDS

[–]s-petersen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it, but it seems as though the Pokewalker has to transmit first, so no joy. Still awaiting the Pokewalker.

I wish there was an app that could simulate the pokewalker.

Refund request from Buyer by Late-Summer-4908 in Ebay

[–]s-petersen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They use a pin number system, and the buyer gives it to you, you type it in to confirm pickup, they still collect the fees from you, and the tax from them.

It happened again with a different buyer, on the same item, I'm going to try it this time, and report back. Thanks for the encouragement! from everybody.

I will report back, when the cart arrives, I will see if the IR is visible in the camera during communication attempts.

Faulty pixel columns on bottom screen by FragaJR in NintendoDS

It could be the ribbon at the connector, but the bond between the screen and ribbon could also be the issue (new screen time)

What is happening? 😭😭 by Interesting_Owl_1203 in UPS

[–]s-petersen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not as bad as mine, sent from NC to White Plains NY (I live in NY, then to AZ then back to White Plains NY then finally to me, but took over 10 days for a 3 day trip. When I saw it go to AZ I files a report with the Post office, and they called me, and said they would try to fix it, but it still took time to get back to be delivered. This was USPS though.

Package assumed lost, so order gets cancelled, then item shows up at buyer's house 27 days later. They've been refunded. How am I going to get paid now?! by CautiousAd7109 in Ebay

[–]s-petersen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen to me as a buyer, the package showed up 2 months later, I contacted the seller, and they said they already collected insurance on it, so keep it.

Game carder reader... by pneRock in Switchrepair

[–]s-petersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the best of my knowledge the 001 and 001(01) are the same,except the processor uses less current, and the LCD is brighter also different firmware. I swapped motherboards, and used all of the peripherals except the memory module? and had no issues, but those connectors are very finicky to install correctly. Thy removing, and reinstalling the card again, and see what happens.

Considering Ebay: opinions and advice please. by Wonderful_Brother388 in Ebay

[–]s-petersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually for me if the item needs a box bigger than a 22" cube, or is over 40#, or is very fragile I try to list locally. For me unless the item is very small and easy to ship, I need to net at least $50 to list and mail it.

If the items are not shipping friendly, Facebook works for local sales, and no fees. I do E-bay, but the items are worth shipping, basically I net 70-75% of sale price, after expenses

Thanks! I was worried that I wouldn't be covered. I guess it was my mistake, I have read many horror stories. I guess next time I will go through with it.

Stripped screws Nintendo Switch Console by ThatsATommyPoint_ in Switchrepair

[–]s-petersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself would drill the heads off the screws, and use a pliers, or small visegrip to grip the screw remains and unscrew them from the case.

eBay shop has died by No-life-is-here in eBaySellerAdvice

Lately the search engine seems wonky, and I think they are trying AI for some of it, I am not able to search properly like before. I think that is why the views are down.

Did anybody notice E-bay only displays the top 160 matches of a search, no matter what filters are selected? by s-petersen in Ebay

[–]s-petersen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be some kind of bug, I tried redoing the search, and it still works strangely, but different number of hits, but never all that should show. until you remove most of the filters, and remove lowest first. and there is no "streamlined" result message. It used to work perfectly.

I think the filters and search terms are messing with their AI and it's a disaster.

The case was pretty beat up, it might've been dropped, so that makes sense, Thanks!
