I'm aware of that but, re you aware that Australia has been getting wrecked with floods for the last 2-3 years. My main special interests are world disasters and psychology. When there is a shutdown on one coast, it affects and backs up the posts and deliveries on the other. The infrastructure has been damaged and its starting to look like America with the homeless population. People are still living in their moldy houses in New South Wales.
We've shipped to Australia and anywhere we could reliably for 15 years, Id love to have their business but if you actually ship on ebay, you know when something goes wrong, then ebay is not there to help you. You just get railroaded into giving a possibly impatient person their money back. If your item comes back, you hope it survived the trip and weve had stuff arrive back 4 months later. Our average sale is way over $100 so its an easy guess to say that I sell a $500 item and it ends up in limbo, at the same time someone is getting down my neck. We don't sell necessities, so no one is dying without our items and we certainly have little room for anymore headache with everything falling apart. We need our sanity more than money. Its a better position than most to be in but, having empathy, I realize everyone wrecked. The whole world and our country is pure ptsd. Ebay has a special way of twisting the knife in and making sure you know that you're un-needed and worthless. People confuse ebay the original company with ebay of today. Its just a vasal for the executive class to siphon money out of the plebs without fixing or doing anything of value for its sellers other than a plate of word salad, which tells you usually, "OH, No". Even these subs I stopped posting on as they stink of gaslighting . Its an extremely broken psychology that does that for a living but, in ways I dont blame people for making a living in an atrocious way as that's what the managerial class subsists on. Zero empathy, zero interest in making a good functional product, only share holder enrichment and impoverishing the bottom whether they care to know or not. America is a mentally ill population and Im mainly talking about the top. The rest are victimized over and over and told theyre the problem. They don't work hard enough, they're too weak, etc.
BTW, the whole world is flooding. If like most others , especially westerners, most have zero idea of whats going ion outside their countries. The US msm shows about 1% of the weather disasters but there are a good many cell phone video aggregators on youtube now that show you every single day, multiple countries are having massive floods, like deadly, destructive. The whole worlds burning.
This also brings to light the new cleaving apart of the usps with shipping becoming terribly inefficient as thats how corporations work. We've sent multiple packages international that now get batched via pitney bowes even when using usps l;labels and one recently to Japan, ended up bumping around in containers for weeks with multiple container scans, never left the country and was returned with us eating the $35 postage and having to communicate, grovel, and spend money again (same ebay printed address) to get it to the buyer. This rarely happened in over 40k packages now parcels are held on either coast for 5 days before leaving due to private companies cleaving apart a public institution. They always pretend its about effiiciency, such as when ebay makes something simpler for we sellers but, since Devins reign especially, its been nothing but hot air and word salad. You hear where making it simpler in the new shipping concept, you can guess that means someones middlemanning more funds of yours and the systems and everything will become inefficient and more complicated all so someone with too much money, has more, or perceived power. Psychology is everything. Our psychology is greed.
Nothing is covert anymore. All the lies we see and the lies we tell are overt for a good many while the sender thinks they are being covert . Morals are apparently antiquated.
