Is Summer Robin actually an upgrade?

I keep seeing conflicting information so I want to confirm if Summer Robin is better than Cyrene for Castorice teams. For example on Prydwen the fastest clears are with Cyrene. The videos I watched have differing views and calculations, with some saying Summer Robin is always better, whereas others are saying that Summer Robin is only an upgrade for Evernight mDPS. When I check past posts on this subreddit people seem to say that Summer Robin is optimal for Castorice. I’m just wondering who is right here

Does Nilou work on Alhaitham+Nahida HB?

Thinking about who to get from the selector. I have Nilou sig, alhaitham, and c2 nahida, though no nilou currently. Would nilou be better on their hyperbloom team than xingqiu/yelan?

Or would something like nilou nahida alhaitham yelan be stronger than hyperbloom?

Hyacine's LC or Summer Robin?

I'm new to the game and I want to make an evernight team. I have her and rmc currrently, and I will pull for hyacine. After that I'll only have enough pulls for summer robin, or hyacine's light cone. Is summer robin important enough to evernight's team that I should prioriize her, or is hyacine's light cone enough of an upgrade over curtain that I should get that instead?

Chargeback question

Sold something to someone two months ago on Mercari, got 5-stars and no issues emerged. The buyer's account got banned sometime ago (potentially for chargebacking), and today on ebay they messaged me with a pretty aggressive message about my items being overpriced.

I argued with them for a bit and blocked them, but I'm worried that they might retaliate by chargebacking our mercari sale, since technically they don't have an account to lose anymore, and they don't seem very stable based on our messages.

If a sale gets chargebacked two months later, will Mercari take funds from my account to cover for it?

Does blocking still prevent an offer from going through?

Offered 700 for a seller's item but I'm just seeing now that it's fake. I can't retract my offer, so does blocking them still prevent the offer from going through?

Monthly service fee question

My parent had brought me to a bank when I was very young to open a bank account in my name that waived the age-requirement monthly service fee (to use for themself). That parent died a few years ago, but I don't know the status of this account. Since I'm turning 25 soon it'll start generating monthly service fees. I don't know what banking company this was with, the last time my parent used it, and there's nobody that I can ask who would know of it. What should I do in this situation? I'm worried I'll randomly get a big bill in the mail one day for having an inactive account.

Will a card with a small amount of whitening pass through authentication as NM?

Card is in perfect condition besides a small bit of whitening on the top left corner, and although I labeled it as NM (which I’m pretty sure it is) I’m worried authenticator might hold it back. The only issue with this is that historically when authenticators hold back cards it sets back the delivery by weeks.

I made sure to show the whitening in the pictures zoomed in and I mentioned it in the description. Will it be ok?

Question about selling Pokemon sealed product

I'm thinking of selling my Pokemon sealed (about 15k in stuff pre 2020s) before doing my masters degree. But I had an issue on ebay where the buyer opened a $200 pack, claimed that they didn't like what they got inside, and got a refund from ebay for it. I have over 1k positive reviews and a 15+ year old account, so it shocked me that ebay sided with them.

So I'm wondering: does Mercari protect sellers from abusive buyers who would open a pack, and then ask for a refund if the rare wasn't a holo for example? If so I'd hope to sell on Mercari instead.

Tips for quitting Zytrec?

I've been having an issue with Zytrec where my jaw/ears have crackling sounds because of how much it dries. I wanted to try quitting today so I didn't take it last night (6 months since starting), and my skin is covered in red streaks, my chest feels tight, and I'm seriously anxious. My allergies weren't bad before taking zytrec besides sometimes having issues breathing at night, so I'm really surprised that my body is freaking out this much.

I'm guessing I need to slowly withdraw from zytrec rather than stopping suddenly. How should I approach this?

Buyer accidentally made a payment dispute, what will happen?

I sold a 700$ card on friday, seller writes to me monday saying that their mom accidentally blocked the 700$ payment as suspicious, but that they resolved the situation with their bank on the phone. but today i'm seeing on the sale that it says "buyer has opened a payment dispute." I only see the banner on the sale, not a case and none of my money is being withheld.

What will happen in this situation, once the card is authenticated and delivered to the buyer?

Seller saying they shipped directly to me, instead of the authenticator

Bought a pokemon card under ebay's authenticity guarantee and the seller is saying that, rather than shipping the card to the authenticator, they shipped it to me with their own label. What happens in this situation? I really want the card to be authenticated since it's an expensive purchase.

Does scratching off grime count as authentic altered?

There was some grime on my PSA 1 submission that I scratched off to confirm that it wasn't pen (so that I wouldn’t get an MK grade). Will this result in my card being graded as an authentic altered?

"We inspected your item and found a minor condition discrepancy. We notified the seller"

Got this message on a damaged card auction that I won while it was being authenticated. Does this mean that the seller can cancel the order? I got it for a good price so I'm hoping that I'll still receive it.
