USPS Clerk Requesting Firm Sheet for >5 Packages

Is there a new policy for providing a firm sheet if you are dropping off more than five packages at USPS? This is what I was told by the clerk at my PO today when dropping off six ground advantage items. I bring 2-10 packages to USPS for scanning and drop off once or twice a week. I casually sell items via several different apps, so the labels are purchased through different vendors each time (eBay, Poshmark, Vinted, Pirate Ship). Because the labels are purchased from different sources, I am not sure how to create a firm sheet. I also read that you can’t make an insurance claim for items received via firm sheet, but I pay for the insurance on my packages and want to use it if needed. Any info or tips would be helpful!

Received a strange message from a buyer, but I don’t accept returns. What to do?

They opened with “thank you for your response,” but this was the first interaction between us. The item was a NWT blazer, and I included measurements as well as photos of all interior tags. They haven’t opened a return request yet, so I’m not sure how to reply. I don’t want to accept the return (and have my eBay set to not accepting returns), but they sound a little unhinged and I don’t want bad feedback. Any advice?

Opinions on authenticity?

I’m new to this brand and picked these earrings up today! They were pretty filthy and clearly worn daily for years. They are heavy, non-magnetic, and are polishing up in a way where I don’t doubt that they are 925 and thick gold plate. But the differences between the signature on the two is throwing me off. I have seen examples of the sideways diamond shape stamp online, and I think it is an older stamp. So grateful for any input!

Thoughts on this chain? Marked 14k but the jump rings look black in cross-section

Non-magnetic and a convincing weight and color. The jump rings weren’t soldered, though, and when I pulled them apart I noticed this black-green core. Any chance it IS gold?

Last photo shows the entire necklace. The “Betty” portion is definitely not gold and isn’t claiming to be (no stamp). I bought it regardless thinking the chain might be.

TYIA!

Is this gap in the leather normal behind the 2025 outback steering wheel?

I just bought this 2025 Outback CPO. It was a dealer loaner for 6 months beforehand. Is this normal? I can see the reverse side of the leather, and can slide my hand into the gap. TYIA!

Why is this 18K vintage ring purple-toned in some spots?

I notice a purpley hue around the stone on this new-to-me onyx ring. It’s marked 18k and doesn’t have any other red flags to me. Thoughts, and is this reversible? TYIA!

How much should I expect to pay to have 14k jump rings soldered shut?

I have a few loose charms that I’d like add jump rings to, but I want them to be secure because they’re gold. About how much would it cost to have these soldered shut professionally? Is this something that can be done same-day?

What do you think Susannah would have thought about the events of S3?

I know she loved Belly like a daughter, but she was only alive to see the love triangle drama when it was more clumsy, low-consequence teenage romance. Do you think she’d still regard Belly positively after the drama after Conrad’s exam, the years of distance between her sons, and the failed engagement/ wedding? Only to then learn Belly goes on to marry her other son?

I feel like the first season is understandable behavior for hormonal teens and Susannah could easily give it a pass, but to make it to marriage-level commitment with both sons??? Even if they fully reconcile in the movie, this will be a lifelong sore subject at best.

(Also, how uncomfy will it be for Belly’s kids to realize she hooked up with and almost married their uncle???)

Green build up on 10K gold ring?

Hello! I snagged this ring for $150. The seller told me that the band is 14K and the ring itself is 10K. The band looks correct to me and is stamped 14K, but the green (copper?) build up on the body of the ring concerns me. Is this possible with 10K gold? TY for any insight!!

Anything? Do they know to look for your package when they’re delivering the mail? I’ve gotten “package pick up complete” emails on days the carrier didn’t visit my house at all.
