...ah...too much "sacrifice" to be TRS with discount...

...just curious...are you one of these TRS and TRS+...and if so, was it too difficult to follow the rules...?

BTW, all the "plus" on the TRS+ gets you is a discount of about $1 on every $100 you sell.

The subject requires beer goggles.

I know you asked her...

But with the GPK cards flying out the door I've finally made it back up to TRS, the only thing I had to change on the listings to make MINE TRS+ was put the free returns on it.   No skin off my back I don't get returns, every now and then I get INAD damaged in shipping but 90% of mine are going through emails not anywhere near the case area.  The email me and go "hey it got here bent here's a pic... got another one we could swap for it?"  And depending on if I do or not I either refund the whole order or reship it.  Either way it doesn't seem to hitting the metrics thingy.

I have always shipped within 24 hours... though I have put the comics on 2 days cause they are in a different city and I can't always get some one to go get them immediately lol.

Personally I fall in and out of TRS for 2 reasons... the dollar amount and the tracking on shipping... for most of the time I have sold on eBay my bracelets were what I sold the most of, and they ship in little white envelopes so no tracking on them.

I am TRS.  I do not do TRS+ on any of my listings.  Not that I can't, I just wanted a little more handling time during the Pandemic, so I changed my listings to a 2 day handling time.  However I still ship most of my items 0-1 days.  And since I changed my handling time I went to a 30 day return policy w/ buyer pays shipping.  But really Free Returns isn't an issue.  I see no increase in my returns when I have Free returns.

I will likely go back to having my listings qualify for TRS+ in July.
