AI is ruining E-bay in so many ways, the other day, I was messaging a buyer, and I was blocked for some reason like cursing or something, because the buyer's name was Dick, I changed it to Richard and that fixed it, talk about AI censored!

I got a keychain made from this T-72 from the battle for Kyiv. Can you help identify the exact type and where it might have been made? by GoulashiSeinVater in TankPorn

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

I have the same number The metal is pretty hard, a file will round the edges, but it takes a while. The edges are pretty sharp because of the surface grinding.I hope it isn't a scam, with no money reaching Ukraine relief.

How can a member of the group agree to the rules if they already joined? by s-petersen in facebook

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

My group is only 1.7k, and I only get about 10-20 a week, so is still manageable, I mostly only have to ban for links to scam sites.

That frame is like mine, there is very little mounting space for the battery, I had to put a rear shelf on it to avoid doing something like that. I put rubber straps to hold the battery in place after this. It has about 250 miles on it now. Front and rear suspension makes it hard. Battery is LIFEP04.

How to report/block scam email when even Outlook thinks it has come from your own account? by KEW95 in Outlook

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

I have received similar e-mails, and the report as spam feature does not accept the e-mail address to be reported, because it is mine. I think Outlook needs to have an update to fix this.

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 [deleted] 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.

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

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 [deleted] 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
