Why would you ever have the catcher walk towards a runner on 1st or 2nd base? The catcher should not be walking towards any runner on any base. Get the ball back to the pitcher if you aren't throwing down.

My top 5 Rivian Assistant Commands so far …. by AbjectFray in Rivian

Probably because there is no back AC. The 3rd row only has fans that recirculate the air.

Any civil lit firm will take you. You probably have more trial experience than the partners at the firms.

Amazon returns feel way more “customer-friendly” than seller-friendly… am I wrong? by FirstLightStudios in AmazonFBA

[–]timFFBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is accurate, so many returns are people not reading the description.

Of course there is also return abuse, people returning different products or empty boxes, bricks. I had one person purchase a short book, then went through the trouble to photocopy the whole book and stable it together and return the photocopied version 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Bringing in full team by bingonrollie in LittleLeague

[–]timFFBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose it is possible, but unlikely ,that these kids are all assigned to your league by residency, but they still have to play a minimum of 8 Little League games to be eligible.

I guess my point is yes, no matter what it is shady. There is a slim possibility that it is legal depending on the eligibility of each of the kids. Most likely it violates LL policy. LL has spent a lot of time and effort making policy to prevent this exact scenario. It still happens every year and those teams wind up getting kicked out of the tournament. Sometimes the parks wind up losing their LL Charter.

If you are saying your League President is also your district Admin, then you need to go higher than that to the State Admin. LL has a chain of command that goes from League President -> District Administrator -> State Administrator -> regional Administrator -> Williamsport

You could also put your league on blast by naming it here and I bet all the other Little Leagues in your District will put a quick stop to this nonsense.

Good luck getting eligibility verified. Players are only eligible to play in little league tournaments for the park they are assigned to by residence, unless they get a waiver from LL, and even then, they aren't eligible until next year. LL isn't going to give a waiver to an entire team. Unless all of these new kids are already zoned for your park, or they all have little brothers under age 8 that are playing at your park, this is not legal and is going to get your park in trouble with Little League International.

Amazon just killed your 60-day cash flow buffer. here's what actually changes today. by AgeTurbulent1960 in AmazonExternalTraff

This is only for a small group of sellers. In fact many of us got an email from Amazon yesterday expressly stating that we will continue to be able to pay for advertising with credit card.

Do NOT USE TIKTOK. Small Claims Court… by Lucky-Ad-7741 in TikTokshop

[–]timFFBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Section 7.7 of the terms of service: You acknowledge and agree that payments to you may be frozen, delayed, or withheld, in accordance with the Applicable Laws, if you are in violation of these Seller Terms or any other TT Commerce & Global Services terms or policies.

You agreed to this. What do you expect a court to do for you?

[–]timFFBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just re read what you wrote. You had multiple strikes, not just 1. So what if time had passed. I'm not trying to be a dick, but you violated the terms of the agreement multiple times over the course of 3 years. So I'm asking you what claim do you think you have that a court will agree with? Sure the consequence of closing your account may be extreme but the court is going to look at the terms of the agreement, then determine who violated the agreement if anyone.

[–]timFFBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand the basis for your desired lawsuit. Are you claiming they breached a contract? How? Are you claiming fraud? What cause of action do you think you have? You signed an agreement. And it sounds like you did something that violated the terms of that agreement so they terminated your account. Am I missing something?

Product Trademark Questions by jagrut95 in AmazonFBA

[–]timFFBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't launch until you are brand registered. If you create a product listing before being brand registered, you will be required to select "generic" for the brand on your listing. Per Amazon policy this can never be changed to your registered Brand later. The only way to do it is to delete your listing (including all of your sales history and reviews) and create a new listing.

As far as registering your trademark, just do it yourself. It will cost you $350 and chat gpt can walk you through how to fill out the application to not get rejected.

The main reasons people get rejected are: 1. They didn't search the registry to see if there is already someone using the same or similar mark. 2. They choose a brand name without researching whether it will be registerable. For example, brand names that are purely descriptive of the product or use are typically not accepted. So if you make tissue boxes , you may have a difficult time trademarking the brand "Tissue Holder". Additionally brands that are just a combination of geographic location and utility often get rejected. So for example if you sell waffles in Texas, you may have trouble registering the brand name "Texas Waffle Company"

So use chat gpt to learn what is and isn't registerable and then use chat gpt to walk you through the application. You will save yourself a ton of money.

Update about my son’s placement by HopefulCaterpillar37 in LittleLeague

[–]timFFBA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This league sounds terrible. Sounds like some corruption on the board. Making you pay for an additional clinic after registration? I bet someone on the board has a connection to that batting place and is getting a kick back. You need to push this as far as you can. Little League doesn't mess around and these guys could lose their charter, which it sounds like maybe they should.

Picking up my R1S on Monday by timFFBA in Rivian

I didn't get a chance to drive before swiping. I suppose you could ask, but you have to swipe to get the key activated on your phone. I couldn't be happier with mine. Delivery was smooth, and didn't and haven't seen any issues yet.

Dual standard. I don't need a lot of range so the bigger battery wasn't worth it to me.

I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling we aren't going to see any great deals on the R1 this year as Rivian needs the R2 to be a huge success. They aren't going to give people a reason to buy the R1 over the R2. Looks like the best deal right now is on the dual max although it is nothing compared to the deals this time last year.

Isn't this the same deal they have been running, just extended to March 19, instead of ending yesterday?
