If you have a phone with the Flappy Bird game app installed, now might be a good time to sell the phone.

I tired, but within an hour of listing, eBay removed it because it was not wiped and still had the app on it. They actually told me that you cant sell a phone with flappy birds on it.

Me and my girl friend sold our phones for 5k each - neither buyer paid. Willing to say none of those are real.

Quick question, does anyone know how to read this Burberrys label?



Is it a long coat sz 52R or a regular coat sz 52L or something else? Any help appreciated, searched but couldn't find anything.

Not yet, will do tomorrow. Tried it on earlier and the sleeves were a hair short (I wear 36" shirt sleeves) but it reached beyond my knees, so I'm guessing 52R.

How did the shoulders and chest feel compared to your normal jacket size?

Has anyone else experienced a higher number of buyers taking FOREVER to pay recently? Lately, it seems out of every 10 items I sell, probably 3 or 4 of the buyers take 3 days or more to pay. Very annoying.

Flappy Bird is a mobile game, similar to Angry Birds in terms of hype. very very popular.

The developer recently said he wanted to and actually closed down his operations stating he was overwhelmed with the upkeep/demand/stress/etc

The odd thing is the guy was BANKING it. Supposedly making $50K a week (or was it a day?)

Many of us in SV think the guy is a dumba** becauseIF he was overwhelmed then he obviously didn't have the right management in place to actually run the game as a business. He could've been the chairman/CTO and he should've hired a CFO, CEO, and COO and other S level execs to take over.

OR he could've just sold the game itself to lets say a Storm8 and made MILLIONS!

I require immediate payment for buy it now. Is it possible to require immediate payment for items won through auctions as well? I admit I am but a small-timer and still trying to learn.

It was reportedly $50k per day in ad revenue, and then he shut it down. He is based in Vietnam and probably set for life. Mashable.

Cannot require immediate payment for auction. You should set up the non-paying buyer assistant thru eBay, which automatically opens a non-paid case after (x) days (you determine the number of days - I have mine set to 4 days). If they don't pay me within 4 days after the auction end, eBay opens the case and the buyer get 4 more days to pay. If they still do not pay, eBay closes the case, I am credited the eBay fees, the buyer gets a non-payment strike, and I can offer it to the 2nd highest bidder (or if there wasn't one, relist it).

Sweet, thanks for the explanation. I was not aware of this, but will definitely be utilizing it in the future.
