I already have a B.A. so I'm a second-degree student. Apart from paying to send in my B.A. official transcripts, I had to do the same for a 2nd CC, and now I have taken a prerequisite course at MCC and going to continue to in order to lower my cost of attendance (no financial aid for 2nd degrees).

My question is, after I take courses at MCC every semester, do I have to keep paying $5/$10 for transcripts so OU takes the courses into my degree progress?

We have been together for 4 years and moved to his home state last year mainly because he wanted to be around his life-long friends again. He has known many of his friends since middle school, highschool, and college, so being away from them was really hard for him, while I never had that many friends to begin with- he is like my bestfriend, to me.

I feel like this is all my fault. I forced myself to fit into this bubble of moving back to his home area (where he has 0 blood related family left at all) and now I am feeling the consequences.

All but a few of his friends are married, or engaged. I fall into the group of maybe 4 people who have a girlfriend, not engaged nor married. I have tried to be friends with the wives (there's about 6 of them in different groups) needless to say, none of them are my kind of people. He says I need more time, but I told him bluntly, I just do not vibe with them, and that isn't anyones fault, but I don't want to be forced into a group of women that have known eachother since hs/college, just because.

Apart from the fact that we have already attended about 4 of his friends weddings, and now we have another one 2 months from now that already coincides with a show we got tickets for and now need to resell them, there's another couple that wants to hang out with us this weekend, a double date style thing next weekend, I am at my breaking point of hanging around people.

He gets sad when I don't go out and stay home. But I am not staying home because I am anti-social, I am staying home because I work a few days of the week, then I work from home some other days, I have cleaning and organizing to do, I want to be with my senior dog, is it so bad? We actually have plans 3 out of the 4 weeks each month. He works 50 hours a week and somehow still wants to go hang out with people.

I get it, he has always put his friends on a really high priority, and they do all want me around, but I don't want to be. I just want to be left, I want to make my own friends, honestly, being around them stresses me out. Plans are always made up on a whim and expensive, "lets go bowling, its $40 per person" "we're going to the casino" "let's go to this bar" "lets go to this sporting event $75 per person" *another wedding, spends $100 on a gift*. Is this what this life awaits me if I also marry into it with my bf?

We love each other so so much, but I feel like it will also not be ideal for him to be with someone like me who prioritizes her peace and staying in if I want to. People incessantly asking him where I am at isn't a good look, I know he wants me to be around, I just cant take this anymore. I have told him and again, it makes him seem disappointed in me...

So, I source a lot online from different platforms. I know this isn't platform specific, this is USPS. A good 4/6 packages so far this week have had straight-cut slashes on the bag, and luckily most items either have tissue paper, or its a bubble mailer so it didn't get through, but I don't understand where in the process this is happening, and I am getting annoyed for basically near-misses on items I am paying shipping for. I can't be the only one who is noticing this at a concerning rate, especially as a reseller, the item could be a gem I got at a great price and then something like this damages it

I sell regularly on Poshmark, eBay, and Depop, and for the items I have had for 2-4 years, I put super cheap on Vinted. I think I made like 35 sales in my first month, so its been awesome, the only thing is that they've all been for items under $9, closer to the $3-$6 range.

I see people on here posting about making $30 sales, heck even $20 sales are great to me. But even with the free shipping (US) still on, I cannot move anything past $10. Items that I have at $13 to $18 do get likes, I send offers, and nothing. Meanwhile, I will get the sale on Poshmark or eBay *and* buyer paid shipping, but with the fees taken out, I wish the sale happened on Vinted.

Any tips on what to do? I understand Vinted is like an online garage sale, lesser known, but if I have a very good 100% wool knit cardigan, I paid $8, I do think its fair to want to make that back. I guess with free shipping it makes me lose hope that is is a viable source of income for items are aren't practically about to be donated (just making partial money back) otherwise

My thrift still prices Hoka's between $25-$35. Checked the eBay research tool and used Clifton's (women's) are selling at an ASP of $38.98.

Just the beginning of this year I was able to sell some for $60 on Depop so there was enough room for me to make a nice profit. Are you still picking them up with that ASP?

Even the work put into cleaning them just makes them a pass for me moving forward

I want to bulk edit all my prices, manually in one page. I saw they have the "drop by 10%, 20%" as a sale feature, but I want to double check the price its landing at. Not just blindly discount everything.

Then the other one just has the ability to enter a SKU or number of items available. And all the prices are. right. there. But you can't click on them.

Talk about useless...

I always do next-day shipping on my orders since its more convenient for me to schedule pick-ups than drive 15 minutes out to my post office daily before work.

I understand the federal holiday back-up of mail for 2 days worth since they're catching up, but its a bummer I had 13 packages waiting since I placed them out 12 hours ago, its now 9pm, and they're still at my front door. I could have squeezed in the time to swim by USPS and at least drop them off no receipt, but didn't think about it and got home at 8pm.

I guess this is a learning lesson for me, but if anyone out there knows, I don't expect them to pass by at this time, correct? I have seen posts about them delivering packages up until 9pm

So I just realized, after about 4 months when I wrote my profile header bio, that the important information about my shipping times are basically never being seen by people who exclusively use the app.

I am actually annoyed, especially because I put a lot of thought into writing a nice header that says welcome, I take offers, ship Mon-Sat, pet friendly home, etc. and it's not even shown at all to that side who see's my page.

I deleted the posher picture thing years ago, since I wanted to be private in that aspect, so if its the only way to write something (if people even still look for that) I think that's really lame

Okay, I have stumbled upon some items online that I want *for me* but also just a one time use thing. Example, I am attending a wedding and found a dress for $11. Needed a bag and found one from a different seller for $7 free ship. As a reseller myself, I saw these items go for way more when photographed better (ebay actives and sold), around $35 each, but I have also seen posts on reddit about "seller bought my item and relisted it for way higher".

Is it right or wrong then? I follow youtubers who source from Thred up and pay up to $10 for items to resell them at $40-50, which I don't see a problem with. I guess I am just iffy about doing that to a small seller and risking looking bad if they go on my page and see that, even if I did use the item for myself

When it comes to delisting and relisting, does anyone know if this would ding your seller account? There's a button for 31-60, so I dont know why these are showing up there in the first place, its an easy oversight

Not really sure what to do here. I am used to selling on PM where orders are closed and done after 3 days or acceptance. For my eBay store, I don't allow returns. I post all images, measurements, and even a stock photo if there is one, and in this case there was since the item is still being sold on the website.

I accepted an offer that was half my asking price, but I felt it was fair, it wasn't a lowball. Its been 8 days since delivery and the buyer just messaged me that it fits wrong. I cross-referenced other same listings and the website, and its exactly how the garment is made, it's not like its altered, or like I have any control over the intended style.

Should I respond with an apology that they aren't satisfied but there is nothing I can do? Should I ignore the message? Even if they reached out to eBay, the item was as described and I did everything right on my part to show the item as it comes... I don't want to lose money on this sale, and I don't feel like it's fair to issue them a partial refund, because the offer was already a deal. I want to leave it as is. What would you do?

-Edit: This is for Ebay

I currently have 30% off 2 or more items on my closet and I've had just 1 bundle a couple months ago when I had 20% off, so I thought raising it would get me more sales but nothing so far.

While I still made a decent profit, that buyer still sent out a lower offer on top of the deal, making me have to counter. I am grateful the items sold together, but if the profit is better selling individually, shouldn't I just prioritize sending offers to likers of 1 item, and then accepting an offer on bundles outright?

I swear, its the only site that barely loads for me (on desktop). Scrolling, its like half a blank page. Clicking on a word like brand or size doesn't register, and I end up clicking something else because it isn't fast enough. I primarily use Firefox, so maybe i'll try Chrome, but I cant tell if its really buggy or what

Okay, so as of recently I had started basing my prices on the MSRP value of the item, not the recently sold as I know a lot sellers letting go of items just to get rid of them, or pay per pound at the bins. I still feel like that affects the prices of the resell market but I understand that people are able to run their business how they want.

Yesterday, I bought a NWT Donni sweater at my local thrift for $5. I have seen that brand before, I thought hey it could probably fetch me at the very least $25. Well, then I cut the price tag off, list my item, I am looking on Posh to see others listed, and I see the exact same one, also NWT listed for not even kidding $7. I saw another one at $10. While I should have checked comps, Donni sells items retail at $150-$500, I feel like $5 on a NWT top was a no brainer.

At this point, what am I supposed to do? Its a one-size item, so its identical to mine. Should I still list it aiming for that $20 range? Is it even worth it? Here is to another item thats just going to sit in my closet for 2 years probably

Been trying to strategize better with my listings in order to get more sales bc I think buyers like to see the intended fit.

I started looking at the metrics and revising my old listings that haven't sold especially for items that I can find the original brand's stock photo. It takes longer of course, but I reverse image search and sometimes have success.

I did a very rudimentary test to see if there is any difference. This isn't perfect, so please let me know what you'd do differently. I filtered my available listings by 1-30 days (113 listings), clothing only, men's and women's. I excluded a couple of anomaly items that got a ton of traction for brand alone. I stuck to click-through's of 0-40.

I found that with 44 main stock-cover listings, average clicks were 9.44. Listings with regular hanger-hung cover photos, 69 listings, average was 7.28 clicks. It could be possible that the brands with stock images are trending and more modern (lululemon, athleta) while my hung photos are items that are vintage or generic (gap, old navy) and just things I didn't see taking extra time would be worth it.

Would you put the effort to find stock photos for more potential buyers? I was thinking of testing this with Likes or Offers instead. I would have done Sold but I just started doing this so I wanted to see fast metrics.

From what I understand, there is practically no difference between paying for the Starter Store at $4.95/mo and No Store package because you're only allotted 250 listings and then 30 cents for each additional.

As a seller who mainly sells on Poshmark, I have 224 active listings on both platforms since I crosslist, and I have about 100 more items I am still working on posting daily.

With the Basic Store package being $21.95/mo, is it feasible to agree to pay about 2 sales worth to equal that cost? Someone in another thread said if you're making $2,000 a month, its a no brainer, however, I only make about $300/mo from reselling on ebay. I'm not a FT reseller and most of my sales are coming from PM where I also make $300/mo after their hefty 20% cut.

I just have no idea what to do. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. I am not really looking to open a second ebay store as some people have mentioned on other threads, since id like to grow and seem reputable to customers, but if someone has broken down the math to make it easier to justify $22/month for a whole year that would be so valuable
