What is everyone doing to cover up markings on reused boxes when shipping?

Had a clerk a few weeks ago instruct me that he will not accept any boxes from me in the future that have ANY writing on them indicating the box's previous life. I brought him a box that had something like a smiley face or something innocuous that I didn't cover up. It wasn't a signal of anything hazardous being in the box, but I guess a strict interpretation of the newest rulings on the reuse of boxes say all markings must be covered up. I have a king sized sharpie that is great for blacking out everything on the box but that thing stinks to high heaven, and the smell lingers, even overnight. What are you guys doing with your reused boxes to cover up writing/images/barcodes/QR codes?

EDIT: just dropped off packages and spoke with clerk. She said when they print out labels and affix to the box, they’re not even allowed to place that address label over anything you’ve blacked out. I asked why. She said there was some big bad thing that happened which precipitated the changes.

Vinyl rugs for a kitty that pees and paws?

Have been through the whole vet exam thing, tried all the litters, this cat just pees in the entry way now. Have a cut a sheet of vinyl flooring from the hardware store so the floor doesn't get any more ruined. Looking for a pretty alternative since she's now pawing at it after finishing and it's tracking into the living room. Would like to somewhat match my living room rug.

Has anyone found rug-like patterned vinyl? I found some on amazon but they're pricier than I'm comfortable (may need to get over that). Would need a runner about 2' x 7'.

FBM has been marking listings as sold when I'm messaging potential buyers

This has happened twice that I'm aware of. I have less than 10 items on FBM and don't keep up with them much. Renew when I get a message that they need renewal. Most recently, a woman has been messaging me over the course of a few days about an item. Suddenly the items showed as Sold. I did not mark it as such, at all. For all I know this lady will flake. I was able to change the status to In Stock (option was to mark in stock or some similar wording).

Any reason why this is happening? I don't offer shipping and only do local meet ups.
