I'm sure that the buyer can be expected to pay for shipping, but at the end of the day for any buyer the "price" is inclusive of all fees, and for the seller the "profit" is minus expenses. So if it's cheaper to ship using eBay's discount, that means the buyer pays more or the seller makes less.

In the end it's probably worth it for the peace of mind, though. I've personally never been screwed on a big ticket item and I don't mind selling stuff for under $100 on ebay. If I lose, it's lost, right? My feelings about eBay so far are that I'm selling there as much for altruistic reasons... I don't want the material to be landfill, someone can get a deal (I do it all the time), and I'd like to recoup some cash as well to spend on hobbies. The couple times I've been hassled and lost money on ebay, it totaled less that $50.

I'd be super upset if I got screwed for several hundred.

I would say it's infuriating, but I think I use that word too much.

I have found numerous posts, however this one seems to want the same thing as me, and there have been a few others, all of which suggest it's not possible.

I can literally drag the shortcuts from the menu to the panel and produce unique icons that way, but when you click an icon that is NOT the chrome icon, it creates a new panel icon for the running program with the classic chrome icon anyway.

You are right, this is a cool idea. I'm digging into it. Might be more work than I want but the functionality is better.

Apparently they are using discord now, and I might give it a shot. Might not be a bad idea to link that in the sidebar here.

I wonder if it's worth the extra cost to ship. Will have to investigate more.

Those are all options. I already use NoMachine to connect to a laptop that can use the VPN, but it occurs to me that literally the ONLY thing I use the laptop for that I couldn't just do on my host machine are those rare (like once a week or less) activities. It would be a lot more efficient workflow to just power off that laptop and connect to the VPN from the host, and turn it off when I'm done.

If I can't find a way to make it convenient, I think a little VM is probably the fastest / least intrusive option but kind of a sledgehammer for a finishing nail.

Better they don't pay at all than they do, you ship, they complain, then return you an empty box or a broken card for a full refund.

[–] ja2 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. If you are a buyer and you submit INAD, you can say anything you want and ebay will side with you. 100% of the time. Even if you lie. And if they initially don't, just keep it up and they will. Then, when you "return" the empty box to the seller, there's nothing they can do about it.

There are stories all over ebay about it. And I'm not a big seller btw, I'm just a dude who sells odd stuff to pay for new stuff. When I get screwed, which I occasionally do, it hurts because every time it feels personal unlike if it were my job.

Exactly this. Respecting the human is important, but nobody owes a thing to a belief.

The meaning of words is not important to propagandists. The value is in the power of uninhibited emotional reaction of the proletariat and the influence those people have over others in their social circles.

Here's hoping.
