Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

[Steve Smith]

Kind of an odd choice of descriptor, wondering if the seller meant 'bedazzled', although technically I guess one can embezzle an item (conversion?)...

Maybe the seller works for Spoo or capnwes. The word 'embezzlement' is usually used for misappropriation of funds, but it can be other personal property.

Probably meant embellished.

Hmmm, haven't seen my helper for a few weeks, but I'd be totally bamboozled if he embezzled the bedazzling, embellished sweatshirt.

It’s amazing, but despite my sales being cut in half lately, the income flow seems okay. My credit cards are paid off and I don’t have to pay for house cleaning or nanny services, and I haven’t put gas in either car for two weeks. This can’t continue indefinitely, but for now I’m okay.

How's the IPA supply holding up?

I have probably 20 assorted cans and bottles, along with at least 3gallons left in the keg. I don’t drink all that much, so I should be okay for another couple of months.

This is all we have left in the liquor cabinet. Trying to come up with the perfect blend, will call it the Covid Cure.



So far I've figured out if you drink enough Jager, you won't remember how bad the rest of it tastes.

Well that mix will for sure have you self quarantined in the bathroom for a long long time

Right? I was just talking to my wife abkut that, so much money saved from not filling the car up every other day alone has cut my daily expenses in half

I also realized that I eat out at least one meal a day usually. Spending way more on grocery runs but saving so much in the long run

My big expense is coffee while out thrifting. Since my coffee is currently limited to 2.5 lb Starbucks bags from Costco, even spending the $5 for half gallons of Oatly makes my coffee much cheaper.

I bought a 14 pound pork shoulder at Costco. Going to have so much carnitas.

I was doing the same thing... However, now, we are grilling ribeyes, swordfish, or other fun stuff most nights. So, unfortunately, our grocery bills exceed what I was spending for fast food meals. lol Oh well... It may be more expensive. But, it's exponentially healthier.

So I was on the USPS website the other day and noticing that Priority Mail flat rate boxes ring up for free (shipped). Anyone done that before? Do you need to take them to the post office to actually ship? Would I need the ability to print a label?

Yes Priority supplies are "free"...they get you on the back-end (twss) when you purchase the postage. You can print and ship at home, or purchase postage and ship at the post office. Purchasing online and printing at home is significantly cheaper, and scheduled pickups of your parcels are also available as a complimentary service.
