Manapool needs to adjust how it handles tracked shipping costs. If you are a seller and live in certain areas, the cheapest tracking you can purchase is $7.30 but only charge buyers $5.99. Manapool allows buyers to add tracking services for single cards costing the minimum $0.15. Buyers can pay a total of $6.14 for a basic land and costs sellers a minimum of 7.30 to ship.

When you look at their website they claim this is so sellers do not have to "game" the system to succeed. When you talk to customer service they will tell you it sucks to suck, we never have paid more than$6.49 for shipping and you should just increase the price of your cards to make up for shipping costs.

Well if you increase the price of your cards to make up for shipping costs, no one will place orders from you. MTG is already a race to the bottom with sellers undercutting each other left and right. New sellers and small sellers simply cannot compete due to not being able to absorb those costs. When orders are under a certain dollar amount adding in seller fees and tracked shipping costs. Sellers are paying money to give cards away for free.

This was brought to u/andrewljohnson's attention a few weeks ago and he stated that he spoke to a large seller in CA and they claim to never pay more than $5.49 for shipping and said sellers who are forced to pay the $7.30 for shipping are at a disadvantage but once again says to just raise your card prices. Well what about the rest of North America who don't live in CA? Raising prices will just lead to having no sales.

A fair solution (imo) would be to raise the minimum amount being purchased to $20 to be able to add paid tracking. Let's face it. Orders under $20 do not need to have tracking and insurance added.

The streaks aren't from the ink itself. It appears to be from the rollers. Some lines are solid and some are dotted. They are consistent and about 2" apart going horizontally and are continuous from top to bottom. I've tried realigning several time. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

It's hard to get a photo of them because you can only see it at certain angles. They go all the way across horizontally, spaced about 2" apart

reddit is such a joke. They claim to allow discussions on their platform but ban anyone who disagrees with their narrative. Today's current topic is on nyc's new mayor. Reddit comments are filled with how christians and catholic are all pedophiles and upvoted. Any comment on saying m*******and j***** religions probably have tons of pedophilia that just hasn't come to light get you banned. (I'm not religious by the way)

This is the 2nd time having to post this because it keeps getting removed for "hate speech" by no means is what I am saying hate speech. But it is quite ironic that if you say X religious group is pedophiles you get warned and banned for hate speech but if you say it about christians or catholics nothing but upvotes.

Let's see if this stays up without censoring one group

My current picks would be gpix, gpiq, qqqi, and spyi.

This is sort of a hypothetical based on my mother's current situation. She retired early with 300k and hired a financial advisor. Apparently he has lost 100k in 5 years and now only has 200k left to last the remainder of her life. She can't tell me what she is invested in because she is financially illiterate when it comes to investing. She doesn't know if he's been selling 4% a year or if she is in bonds etc. all she knows is she has a fixed monthly income. She'll be collecting social security soon to help supplement her income.

If this was your situation which funds would you choose? Mine I stated above
