What makes you happy?

[toysaver]

When you land on your eBay page are you glad there's a sale or relived there isn't a return?   It's usually a mixed bag for me.  If the weather is nasty or I'm sick I hope there was not a sale.  The worst is when eBay sends back to back messages that for me has traditionally signified a return but these days it's usually promotional material.

Well to be honest this week I was hoping for no sales as a family member passed suddenly

But had a couple sales so processed them in the timeline as I was juggling all else.

Usually I just prey for no returns but deal with them as  business.

I have two notifications on my tablet, so I don't have to log into my page to see what's happening. Most of the time, the ca-ching makes me very happy. The message one not so much. Could be anything from a customer complaint (I got two this week I'm resolving), a customer wishing me well (I love them) or an ad or return notice from ebay (hate those).

No new sales 0  today so I can stay in tomorrow after going to the gym today.

Got a sale the other day with shipping to Canada...ugh!

I have no problem with a no sale day.

If I don't make money...eBay doesn't make money.

I guess not promoting everything there will be no sale days.

My 'repeat buyers do help out' though.

I'm a complainer by nature.   

If I don't have any sales, I complain.

If I have sales that I have to pack and ship at night after a long, hard day at work, I complain.   😉

@toysaver  relieved there isn't a return bc the joy of that sale is undone

plus the return adds more misery to that sale

and $$ lost due to free returns

and sometimes having to refund their original shipping

so sometimes the profit margin is, decreased, wiped off or goes into the negative

I like to wake up to see a lot of items sold. That hasn't been happening to me too much this week (items are selling, but during the day). I used to get lots of activity at night time, when the eBay chime goes off in the middle of the night and wakes me up I get excited wondering what sold (but don't look until morning, I kinda can't see my phone without my glasses anyway and they are in my office). Plus if I can't remember where I put something I get worried about it, better to not know what sold until morning.

This morning I woke up to a $58 CAD sale on my other account. That was pretty exciting (considering the eBay Canada account doesn't have lots of items listed).

I'm used to not finding a sale everday but still dread the possibility of a return.

I rarely get returns, but I sometimes get complaints... not often. Most complaints can be resolved with some kind of partial refund (which I'm OK with if it's my fault the customer is upset). If I think someone is trying to get a free item or discounted item as an after sale discount, I will make them return it for refund and not offer the partial. All decisions are by my discretion.

Generally if something actually gets returned, it's for one, expensive, and for two, whatever is wrong with it can't be fixed with a partial. I had one packaged coin that had a damaged edge. I didn't know because I didn't pack it, and the person in the shop that packed it didn't note it. The customer repacked it and noticed. It was a $300 coin, even at 50% off it's pretty expensive price for a damaged coin. He returned the coin for refund.
