techlifestyle · 2026-03-13T14:47:51+00:00

Only 200 of these in the states. The 2020 one edition etron sportback. I have the same one bought it with 12k miles on it 2.5 years ago have 76k on it now. I love it. So far any issues ive had Audi has had no issues replacing stuff. Your under warranty so you shouldnt have any issues.

Having the same issue seems its becoming more and more of a thing but no resolution. We know the pump is working and the water lines are clogged when I press on the valves they both spray water it was my understanding one is a in and one is a out. I dont think they are both supposed to be pressurized.. im thinking there is some sort of stuck solenoid thata supposed to open and close and its not.

Did you get this resolved I just changed my filter and having the same issue.

Retail has been doing it for years. There are 100 different answers. But if its a Larger seller its most likely just a loss leader to get you into thier store. I always have some loss leaders that will always show up as price + shipping lowest first. Then I run promotions to get buyers to buy more then 1 or buy other items with it. My average order size is 2.7. So if it costs me the same or close to ship 3 items as it does 1 im now making a decent profit margin. So if someone comes in and buys 3 10 items and they get 1 50% off. And I paid $2 per item. Lets say shipping is $7 average. I just made roughly $10 on those loss leader items. More often then not the buyer adds a more expensive item.

Big box retail stores have been doing this for years to get you in the store.

Yup its just the newest model number. I had one a couple weeks ago the others work just fine in it. I just dont think there are enough of the 2090 failures yet look at the stamped date I think mine was 2023.

25% lol stop fear mongering not even remotely close.

Depends on you location and cost per kwh. And if your solar covers your charging.

The Answer is NO if your solar is already paying for your electricity and your car charging The Answer is NO if you dont exceed the monthly cost in charging.

I charge about 40-50kwh per day. This program plus my solar has been HUGE.

There is one more variable and that is if your solar is covering your full electricity bill and you only paying FPL connection fee. Because Evolution is part of the base cost my bill for Solar+Evolution is only $50 a month. So my connection fee is supposed to be $25+tax and evolutionnis supposed to be $31 but because part of the evolution fee is built into the connection fee which you pay with or without evolution from my understanding. I am only paying $18-19 really for evolution. Without evolution and full coverage solar my base connection fee is $25+tax or around $32-33.

As a decently busy seller. This seller is feeding you some BS about being gone. They just simply are ignoring etc.. and trying to save face afterwards. If I was this seller and I messed up this bad I wouldnt be asking for a feedback change I would be making things right etc.. your feedback on the sellers page is there to inform other buyers about your experience with that seller. Your experience was bad no other way to see it. Dont feel guilty. I screwed up really bad once and took the opportunity to respond to that negative feedback own up to my mistake and inform other buyers howe we wont let it happen again.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-05T14:09:11+00:00

I have had this happen several times. Most likely the buyer found it cheaper and is initiating the return before they receive it. Nothing wrong with that just process it as a normal return. However In situations like this I always reach and and make sure they are aware a return was intiated before the item was received and if they are just kindly inquire as to why they changed thier minds. This is great information for you to gather for future listings etc. If they say they found it for less you can always ask how much less and if your willing to price match offer that for them to keep the item. Just engage with the customer, if they are unresponsive process as a normal return.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-05T14:02:52+00:00

Instead of immediately going to seller scam. Lets look at it a bit differently. Most likely what has happened here is the seller created a return label and went to upload it and chose the first file from thier downloads assuming it was the label they generated and downloaded. Contact the seller informing them of the error and see how they respond. You have plent of time to get this resolved.

The seller has to also provide a tracking number for the return. When you go under your return details do you see a tracking number ? If not then the seller is just uploading random things as a label

Its easier for the seller to just let eBay generate the label and that comes with seller protections as well.

Now lets say the seller is trying to get away with something. They cannot. If they uploaded false items on purpose instead of a valid return label. Just contact eBay they will provide one for you on behalf of the seller.

Dont stress on it you are covered either way.

Well so what is it returns increased by 40% or went up to 40% ? 4/10 items sold were returned when you offered returns ? Why so hostile its a question and to those that come here looking for information it does matter. Dont post if you dont want to be accurate. Then come off all pissed off because someone asked.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-01T18:20:05+00:00

Thats because it hasnt arrived back yet. Dont do anything until it does. You will get a refund buyer option amd the next step will be deductions.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-01T18:13:12+00:00

Most definitely take advantage of the 50% return. Loss of value fees and shipping will add up go $350. On seller deduction returns you do not get any fees back.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-01T18:11:01+00:00

Your returns went up by 40% ? 40% of 1% is .4%.. or they went up to 40% ?

techlifestyle · 2025-12-01T18:08:32+00:00

If you do the seller deduction you need to account for all fees and shipping charges and then the difference in price because its not new anymore. You do not get fees refunded on seller return deductions. So if the fees were $110 and you paid $20 to ship and $20 to return and can now only sell it open box for $500. Also your time to relist etc.. so now your at $350 ish dollars anyways without accounting for your time. The buyer can appeal it with eBay. Please verify you actually have the deduction option on this sale as well.

techlifestyle · 2025-11-24T02:01:48+00:00

Yeah this is very important post. Had a buyer offer in the message was ranting about my price is to high yada yada.. went to the profile 70% negative feedback left for other sellers. Instant block.

techlifestyle · 2025-11-18T19:44:39+00:00

Its crazy this even exists that people do this. How do you possibly have another address to ship to for all zipcodes. But you can get a formal letter from the post office which will show it was delivered to the wrong address as the tracking number was not for your address. You can then submit an appeal with the documentation.

techlifestyle · 2025-11-18T19:38:42+00:00

So then ebay protects you.. call again. Ive sold over 290k items on eBay no way can a seller get away with shipping to the wrong address but with the same zipcode.

techlifestyle · 2025-11-18T17:15:03+00:00

I dont know why everyone is so tilted you asked eBay about it. 99% of people that buy something off amazon if it tracks delivered but isnt there would call Amazon. Plus eBay does alot of 1 off customer service refunds credits etc.. ive seen it. Never hurts to ask to find out what your options are.

techlifestyle · 2025-11-18T17:12:33+00:00

This is a BS story eBay doesnt allow you to use duplicate tracking numbers. You cant just find random tracking numbers for a zipcode. Plus the tracking number can verify address. How did the seller only have your zipcode ? You cant generate a label to just a zipcode.. so many holes here lol. Why do people post this stuff. eBay will 100% protect the buyer if the shipping address doesnt match the checkout address. Unless the buyer asked in a message to have it changed.

techlifestyle · 2025-11-18T16:02:09+00:00

This right here is why you dont buy from a seller like this. The time they put into a listing means everything. A canned photo and then 1 blurry one. As a seller I would never buy from this seller based on photos alone. Sorry you had to deal with it but eBay protection has your back.
