On a related note, many govt services and most big companies have been slowly eroding really just anything that sacrifices customer services, freebies, etc. in order to save money - it just adds more cost, time, effort and frankly just plain more work onto the individual... anything to make a buck and pretend that "growth" is happening. The constant "donation" prompts and tips where we never would have tipped before is part of the problem, too. I used to love self-checkout but now that they're trying to make it the norm rather than the exception, screw that. (Unless I literally have one or two things and am in a rush.) I work for government and even in-house stuff is all becoming "self-serve" which tends to make any kind of work-related admin a friggin' nightmare and can take away multiple work days from my primary duties. I hate it when people scalp toys but I can hardly blame them, when everyone is scrambling to find some kind of side hustle to keep costs in check (I won't even say "down" at this point). This isn't really "political" in my opinion as I don't think it's any one party's fault - it's really more of a symptom of where society is going and I really don't like it at all.

You guys are scaring me lol. I don't have a ton of stuff to get rid of; most of it is what I posted over on the B/S/T forum. I did ship off 8 eBay items earlier this week, so hopefully none of the buyers try to pull anything. Going forward I'm going to hold off buying "extras", it's just not worth it to me.
Dont be scared ebay is still way better than mercari what those 2 are talking about i think is a rare circumstance & outcome .. ive had 3 weird ebay things to me and all but 1 worked out in my favor i also wont sell to a buyer w/zero feedback and i take pictures of everything including the box/package after it has the post office tracking on it . I dont trust people and i have had people make up stories that they never got it but when there is a picture w/everything on it ,it turns the tables real quick ..just protect yourself take the limit in pictures for every auction take a pic of every angle and point out anything/everything you could/can see or think of . A bad corner extra paint on an arm or whatever .. when it comes to shipping i ship everything no matter what it is like its a piece of glass people/collectors are very picky be it mip or loose , people like to see a professional pack job everytime . When it comes to shipping i exagerate the size of the box by a few inches and always add a bit of weight in the description a loose figure in a bubble envelope 9-10 oz - normal fig in package in a box w/padding just over a LB , the shipping calculator on ebay while screw you if you?re not careful and you will have to cover extra shipping if it doesnt calibrate it right . Just so you know I've had great luck on ebay and have 100% positive feedback and i earned it .. i also sell stuff for other people as well %100 positive feedback and being a longtime seller means most people wont even try to scan you , why after all this time would i send a bad package or a damaged product or the wrong thing or why would i not send it ..

Still, I would. I think it's actually easy? I'm just kind of not wanting to be bothered at times I guess. |
