Another store bites the dust

[timemachine777]

The second store that I had to close in the past 2 months, with a 3rd on the chopping block. I'm so glad that I don't rely on eBay for an income, or I'd be in trouble. Now I have that Queen song stuck in my head.

I noticed lately that as eBay has made a number of site changes, that the bugs and glitches are ramping up. Getting out of hand I think overall.

Those "page not responding". Good Lord, I gave up at 50 refreshes.

I was getting a bunch also.

I think about closing my store every day.  So far I haven't.

And yes, if I had to live on eBay sales-I'd be dead.

Right there with ya. Selling on this site is like setting up a stand in the middle of Death Valley.

Selling hot chocolate at noon ......

It was 90 and humid at noon today. We got some business, but not much. I'm in AC so I could handle a little hot chocolate myself, though a banana split with hot fudge would be a tasty treat right about now.

It's back.

Somebody else is going to have to save your soul this time around, I've done my duty. 😛

It fell off, you went to 665, so I gave you kudos. OOpsy!

I must be a Number of the beast magnet, because I've been stuck on it for about a week. It's Sat morning and I get on the board, and it's still there. Oh well.

I think it looks good with your id....lol, although 777 might be a little nicer.

I saw that and smiled, or smirked, or something. I agree with Oddities, it looks good on you. (chuckles sadistically) I'm not going to give you kudos to fix it.....:P

It didn't matter what it was, nothing was selling that Nov and Dec. You had a question about Chinese items selling for a penny to a buck with free shipping to the US. It's actually a pretty simple process, and they actually make money. China is still considered a developing nation by the UN. This allows the Chinese government to get all types of benefits from the UN. Look at it like global welfare.

China gets all it's its mail subsidized to the US. So...The US gives the UN billions to dole out to these welfare programs. The UN then gives this money to China for example. China then gives some of the money to anyone shipping items out of the country. That's how they make their money. They don't need much money if they live out in the country. Plus China is one huge welfare state as it is.

Now the US also lets these packages enter the US postal system for little to no money. To make up for the lost revenue, The PO keeps raising it's its rates on us, and if you pay federal income taxes, your you're getting whacked there as well for the lost revenue. 

Nothing in this post is accurate. It's as if the facts were fed through a Trump filter.

That info predates Trump. I got that from several sources...The UN, The US Government, Various Business news pieces over the past 5 plus years. Fortune also did a big piece on it several years ago on the Universal Postal Union.

Okay, I'm probably looking/talking about something different.  Thought they were referring to your user/store feedback?  Must be something else.

It will however, get down there eventually as I spend less time on the boards. They tend to drop daily, when you don't post.
