The last two returns I've had, the buyer created the return label, and then literally held or used the item until the last possible day to send it back (I think eBay gives them like 3 weeks!?). In the meantime, my funds are on hold the entire time.

I tend to offer free returns, but not free shipping, which I think is typically a good tactic as buyers realize they will not be refunded the shipping charge they paid if they make a return. This has worked before where a buyer will start a return, then cancel it once they realize they are not getting the shipping back.

I don’t usually but I always do when there’s a Little Caesars offer like today. It’s essentially a large pizza for like four bucks which I think is a good deal!

I hate shop pay orders from grocery stores or Target because often times you can’t find the items or they’re out of stock or there’s tons of items.

But orders from 7-Eleven and liquor stores, they actually grab the items for you and have them ready at the register, so it’s super easy!

I’m in California so I know that I get a guaranteed hourly rate while I’m on a delivery, but I’m just wondering if there’s any negatives waiting for the food like that because I’m trying to keep my cancellation rate down.

In the past, I have canceled some orders where if I’m there longer than like 10 minutes, I just say forget it.

Earlier this week, I was at the IKEA restaurant for breakfast and they had a whole bunch of tables put together to form a long table and flowers on the table with signs that said Reserved. Does anyone know what this was all about? Can customers actually reserve a table for a party or was it perhaps something for an employee celebration?

Is it true that to fast charge the G3, I would need to get the external charger and use that at the same time as the internal charger, ie., two plug AC outlets?

I wonder if it’s even worth it.

Every time I go to the restaurant for breakfast, I see the same guy eating there. Every single time!

I guess he goes every day. He must live very close by.

Smart guy, he must be quite wealthy. He’s out of there for just $2.49 for a medium breakfast and free coffee!

Reminds me of the founder of IKEA, smart guy.

Found an interesting link. It shows you how many bidders/buyers eBay has auto blocked due to your buyer requirements that you have set, and for which items:

I'm shocked how many are being blocked. I have my buyer requirements set to block anyone that has 2 non-paying strikes over 12 months. This is the most strict.

I say, screw 'em, if they haven't paid before, I don't really want to deal with them.

I still get some that do not pay, they just buy or bid, and disappear. I do a non-payer strike for all of them, although I do have to admit, having to wait 4 days to be able to do that kinda sucks.

It's also interesting that looking at that list, for me, there is one person who tried to buy one of my items like 50 times, but never contacted me asking why they were not able to. I bet he knows he has prior non-paying strikes.

This link shows that my settings are working keeping a lot of riff-raff away, I just never knew it.

You know how the app has you click on something that says verify the order? Restaurants usually seal up the bag with a safety sticker, as they should. How exactly we’re supposed to verify all the items in that case?

I had a non-paying high bidder so after it canceled as a 'buyer didn't pay', I sent a second chance offer to the next highest bidder.

The listing for the second chance offer now has 4 watchers though. How is this possible if it's only for that one bidder?

I prefer Amazon for their return policy and not have to deal with some other company. Also, it’s important that I can turn off the near infrared wavelengths as my face is very hyper pigmentation prone. Thanks for any suggestions.
