    Tofujesse Castings: Announcements & Discussion

    I read that about eCrater and the charge but I also read that you can choose not to pay it and they will not boost your search ranking on the main site or something like that.

    I won't sell anything of "value" on eBay if I can avoid it. That's why I have 2 old iPhones sitting in a drawer...

    Yeah I can charge less without all the eBay fees I need to pay. Still need to pay the PayPal fees but there are usually not as bad as the eBay fees.

    Tofujesse Castings: Announcements & Discussion

    I agree, and quite honestly, I hate selling on eBay. BUT - I can't live without it. Seriously. My webstore generates so little traffic that I have to keep my items on eBay to make any money. Even people who buy from me on eBay and are told that I have another store with lower prices (I include a...

    How did you pull that off? I sold a camera, used, with no box, and the buyer filed a claim that it was used and had no box. I showed the eBay agent the listing and the photos that CLEARLY showed and stated that it was used with no box - and I STILL lost the claim.

    Maybe I didn't convey my point across properly. You CAN post that number in the tracking area on eBay, yes. But, if the buyer files a claim and PayPal contacts you for tracking, they will not accept that. Again, trust me when I tell you, it's happened to me. The customs number - even though...

    PayPal will NOT accept that as proof of delivery. Trust me, I know first hand, unfortunately.

    The big problem is that I will only ship 1st class to those outside the US if I know who they are and trust them. I learned the "Priority sucks" rule last year when I sent some stuff to Dark Horse, and thinking it would help him get it faster, sent it Priority. THAT was a mistake.

    I've sent packages to Remco/Incom/Mr.Black and he gets them in 3 days. 3 DAYS. From the US to the Netherlands. Via 1st class mail. I can mail a card to my Mom who lives 1/2 block from my house and it takes a week. WTF?!?

    Tofujesse Castings: Announcements & Discussion

    Yeah, that's a fucked up story. Not sure what can be done about those kinds of things, they always seem to go in the buyers favor. I've heard some horror stories of people sending back empty boxes and getting refunds for "not as described" cases involving laptops and stuff...

    I already told you Jesse - print and ship all your orders via PayPal Shipping. They generate USPS tracking # for each package, I think it costs 0.19 per package when you pay thru PP. It generates the tracking, emails the customer to let them know it's on the way, and keeps all the records, so...

    Avengers' Black Widow

    Yep. I painted all the black areas over, and then drybrushed a light blue over the top. In fact, it was "Ultramarine Highlight" blue from Reaper Master Series.

    Avengers' Black Widow

    Another project I just finished up, kinda mixing movie and comic versions. I took the Avengers' Black Widow and repainted it to give it a more dark blue-ish look. I replaced the head with a cast from the canceled Target 3 pack ScarJo version (which is also available for sale in my store)...
