I had a buyer cancel an order. She said "please cancel, child can't have." I cancelled the order and she left neutral feedback. If a buyer cancels an order they shouldn't be able to leave feedback.
Did you contact ebay? A Buyer cannot leave a feedback for an item they never received and ebay will remove it. But you do have to contact ebay to have it removed. I experienced the same thing and ebay did remove it. Good Luck.
Id even go further to say that Ebay should encourage communication between parties and penalize failure to do so. Never in the real world does a buyer get a platform to defame a small buisness before communicating with said buisness first. I have like 4 negatives from buyers who never even tried reaching out and it looks really obvious what Ebay is doing. Its about $. Has to be.
@@joedoughty4171 Not exactly true--Yelp reviews are famous for this. But your point is valid nonetheless.
Goodwill prices have indeed gotten insane. I've seriously considered standing on the sidewalk outside of Goodwill with a sign saying "I pay CASH for your donations! See me before you donate to Goodwill!". I figure I could grab the good stuff, pay the person money for stuff they were willing to just give away, and then they can donate whatever is left to Goodwill.
😂
Because they know what y’all doing duh 🤦 it’s not obvious
ARC in the same store, same item, one in horrible condition $10.00 one unused/light use $1.99. Willy-nilly pricing?
I got one last week. The lady bought some Maybelline matte lipstick. Maybelline was so proud of this Matte lineup that they put the word "Matte" in every color name! The lady left me neutral feedback because she said in her comment that the lipstick wasnt Matte and comes off on her coffee cup..like I have control over that🤷♂️ She should have saved that review for Maybelline! 😂
She thought matte meant "long-lasting" or "24-hour wear" . Nothing you can do about idiots.
I got two neutrals recently, both for mistakes the buyer made. I sell antique German animals, and I list their size in cm and inches. I photograph next to a ruler and a soda can. Two customers complained that the animals were smaller than expected. I get neutrals because they don't know what 4 inches look like? And Ebay is totally unhelpful -- they won't change feedback, no matter how ludicrous it is, apparently. The system should be overhauled -- customers leave neutral or negative feedback because they're not happy with their own decision to buy an item. That is unfair.
People get too wrapped up in 100% feedback. You can't please everyone, who cares if someone leaves a neutral or neg. If you sell hundreds or thousands of items a neg won't hurt. It's a total waste of time sitting on the phone with eBay or talking to chat, if someone see your feedback they can tell a pita buyer by the feedback left.
I feel for you, I received a negative saying that he had unauthorized charges on his card after purchasing from eBay. I requested a revision kindly stating we as sellers do not have any access to payments on eBay. He then changed it to neutral and eBay said it doesn’t violate their terms so they won’t remove it, even though it is clearly not a reflection on our store. Completely arbitrary rule and a slap in the face when we work hard for a 100% positive feedback score.
I had a lady that left me very good written feedback and then left left a negatve " card scammer". Well I never had anything to do with her card and eBay even realized that I dont have any way to freaking scam her card.They left the negative and did take away the" card scammer " words. There went my 100 % positive feedback for a year.😢
You put so much effort in measuring every item and their chief complaint is about the measurements? They're basically trolling you
I went from spending $15,000 to $20,000 plus a year in Goodwill to very little in the last year or so. They're pricing resellers out of the store, which is their right as a business. The problem is 60% of the people I'd see in the Goodwill were resellers... so... I still go so I can count the mileage on my trips to town, but I find myself walking out with one item or less a lot now as opposed to 10 to 15 items just a few years ago.
Same. I would walk in a store and have an overflowing buggy in 10 minutes.
Goodwill was founded to serve the low-income demographic, but the organization has strayed so far from that purpose. Now it's more about competing with resellers than serving the low-income demographic.
They were founded to provide funds for their own missions such as creating jobs and job training. They are losing money by not catering to the lower income population AND the resellers
Me too. I have all the receipts to prove it too. That was a long time ago though. I spent most of it at the bins too. Hung out there from open to close almost daily, for years. Everyone knew my name.
@@rashellegallegos4335 Their mission changed before ebay. It just got sped up. But they were already going mainstream.
Kevin if goodwill keeps raising prices it gonna bite them in there butts
Regional Goodwill sent a text saying, "lower prices on key items." Walked in and saw a plain blue t-shirt marked $6.99 and walked out. They still sometime miss things, but generally are too overpriced.
Our Goodwill had $75 on a used pr. of men's work boots about 50-65% worn out. They are nuts around here.
The irony here is, someone looking for cheap items to resell for profit is complaining that the nonprofit goodwill store want's a bigger cut. Gotta love America lol
@@WhoDatBenny " nonprofit".. yeah right. Those "not for profit " executives give themselves 6 and 7 figure annual salaries.
If your shed blows away, remember to click your heels and say ‘there’s no place like home.’
😂
That's funny Dorothy!
Our Goodwill is gotten crazy. Perfect example is an unsealed Michael Jackson Thriller album that sells for 10 bucks at most they had priced at 75 dollars. I laughed out loud. The girl running the register said yeah i told them idiots in the back they were crazy 😂
It sold about 85 million copies - it must be really valuable! 😀😀😀
The "trick" with Goodwill is you have to be smarter/more knowledgeable than the person doing the pricing. Generally, I find Goodwill is a lousy place to source, as their prices are high, really high. Occasionally I do find deals in the clearance center (pound/bin store). Sales here are on fire too. Had my first $1000 day. My average is $2000/month, so getting half a month' worth of sales in one day was great.
the moment people stop buying from goodwill the sooner they will get the message...but goodwill is promoted by every reseller as a good thing but it is not is like any other money hungrey company...
I buy great items & low prices at my local Goodwill so I won’t stop buying from them . They are independent owned . All we have here in NE Ga is Goodwills . Most donation goes there & I buy new products from all retail areas . We have a large mall of Ga & outlets near us
Goodwill is tough. Really takes patience.
I hate the no questions asked ebay return policy. I get burned for shipping to and from! 😮
I went to a goodwill to look at glass and cups - found a nice pair of frosted vintage mugs from a small town in california with no price tag on them, brought them to the register and the guy up there said "these are going to be $20 each because of the gold rims" and I about choked he was like "yeah unfortuantely its the gold rims" and it was a quick no. from me.. it's gotten out of hand considering they receive their goods for free
Stormy Kromer family owned & operated made in Ironwood Michigan! Stormy was a railroad man and semi pro baseball player in the turn of the century (1900s). I'm in my sixties and have a photo of my grandfather sporting a Kromer when my mom was a tot.
I hardly get any feedback anymore let alone neutral. Goodwill sells all the good stuff on their auction site now so i see no point even going there anymore
Yes - In Chicago, Goodwill charges $29-59 for used shoes ... $24 for pants - often prices are higher than online/original retail. Goodwill has lost its mission of providing good deals to making as much profit as possible.
Prices seem crazy in some places but In all honesty their mission isn’t to give good prices.
@@commonwealthflipper I meant to provide poor people reasonable deals who are trying to rebuild their life
Our local GWs have a different mission. Their mission to make money to support various educational programs they provide the handicapped. It has never been about selling things cheap to the needy. At least it hasn't been since I have been going in them around here.
It’s a shame, they get all the items for free and mark it up so much, that even the poor people can’t purchase items. Crazy world we live in. Everything has value, but when they try to sell things at retail prices, it’s a no go for me. Goodwill sucks. I’m happy that it’s yard sale season. My goodwill is doing two discounts on Sunday. They do 50% on one color and 75% off another color. I guess my store is testing this out. I still like the bins. Have a great day. Love your channel!!
17:13 Wonder if he got a better price from ADHDave’s Snap-On haul?? LMHO😂
Watch your channel alot just don't comment..had a buyer leave a neutral which is just lies in it ..contacted her twice requesting pics and stating the lies about how it was shipped and got no response at all..and it's been days. I and am so tempted to reply to her feedback I just don't need the drama. I wasn't gonna do a revision request but I just did, who knows it probably won't work but ..I wish so bad that it was like the old days when sellers can leave negative too. Why In the world did they ever get rid of that, I'd like to know haha..
Yeah I don’t think it’s fair we as sellers can’t remark on them as buyers.
Dont do it. Just call ebay. Dont message them. Call them. Explain you messaged them to see if you could help. They will check and verify and if no responses they will remove the feedback.
Dont let it bother you to much. I had a lady give me neutral feedback because her Maybelline Matte lipstick wasnt matte enough and stuck to her coffee cup..like it was my fault?😂
Feedback doesn't matter much unless you're really bad. especially neutral feedback. Not worth the energy or the stress.
got a neutral one recently on a bucket hat that the buyer didn’t seem to read the description or look at the pictures which explained/showed all flaws in full transparency
absolutely infuriating and annoying to see on my account lol
@@TeenageSweaterYep.. I got a positive feedback but the guy told other buyers to message us first before purchasing because we sent his item (it was a flat piece of wood, a tiny dart board pharmaceutical advertisement) wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a bubble envelope and it arrived perfectly and I saved HIM $4 in shipping. Some people you can never please. I will admit we blocked him. Try not to let it get to you! If you know you are doing everything right and the best you can.. just let it roll off your back. So many of my feedback praised us for how we take great care in shipping. Just another reason to let it go!
Closed my ebay store going to sell on other venues, tired of being ripped off ebay just as bad as goodwill. Glad it's just a hobby leave it to those could need it to feed their family.
I saw a Dammit doll at the Goodwill bins and could have sworn it was Trump. I told someone to get it and they probably didn't. While everyone is complaining about Goodwill, they nicely saved an item I purchased I forgot and gave it to me the next time I came back. I thought it was long gone.
You're not crazy at ALL about the first name basis thing with the school & baseball kids. When I was a Scout leader with my son's troop and a kid accidentally called me by my first name I would politely, but heavy on the sarcasm, ask, "are we drinking buddies or friends from back in school or the military? Didn't think so. Then you don't get to call me by my first name." Some of the parents had an issue with my methods, but as you well know, it was just a small step towards learning respect.
I deliver mail and it's super rare for kids to call me "sir", though they are usually polite otherwise. If children of today will call adults "sir" or "ma'am", eventually it will be noticed by someone who can change their lives.
Boy do I remember the good old days of the Goodwill. Especially the bins. They were only 39 cents a pound when I first discovered them and they didn't sort through anything back then. And the donations came straight to that store, not to other Goodwills first. Talk about the wild west.
Our local GWs have not only raised prices, they no long have sales. In the past, Wednesday was senior day (30%off). Older (different each week) color tags were 50% off and once a month they had the entire store on sale 50% off. Now nothing, they have some sort of plan where you have a tag and after you spend so much (north of $20) they give you a small discount. That's it. Another problem is the stores are full of junk. If they get any good donations they are selling them elsewhere. To make a long story short, I seldom buy anything at GW these days.
Here in Central Wisconsin I quit going to Goodwill several years ago. Their prices are outrageous clothing is priced like new pricing it is not worth my time or gas.
Its funny how many stories we can remember of how much we paid and where we got stuff, often quite the backstory to finding an item months or even years later.
Then i forgot to bring the garbage to the road this morning.
that's exactly how it is with me. I remember my scores from 20 years ago like it was yesterday. But I can't hardly remember much of anything else, when I need to.
I was told by the empolyees the managers are now required to look things up on ebay before they price them and anything worth more than $50 goes to their online store.
I think it's $20 here.
My local goodwills never have anything good. Its all online and they sell it for dam near ebay prices. I used to buy in bulk or combine lots to try to make something, but after their "handling fees" and overpriced shipping charges, the profit is gone and I havent even made it to ebay!
My June sales are up! Yesterday I broke even with my May sales
It really depends on the region. My town is alright. 100 miles north, there is nothing
Kevin, Stormy Kromer is a company in the Michigan UP. Has a great resale value.
Yep. I live just a few miles south of the UP in Northern WI and that's well known around here. Great hats!
@@uwsupergirl I own a number of them. I have photos of my grandpa wearing them in the 30s. Not to mention my dad. I'm originally from the south shore of Lake Superior.
In the UK we have Charity shops who pay no business rates, dont pay for their stock and pays only manager wages. They sell at silly prices and sometimes new stock in competition to small local business. Charity starts at home. Items goto land fill if they do not sell at the set price....just not right!
I see fast fashion mostly. If you see a decent brand clothing item it usually has stains,rips,etc. Goodwill would not put those items out in the past.
I have all the Disney VHS movies that were my daughter's. 😊
My last Neutral said "Decent". Many times people just won't leave positive feedbacks or they leave stupid ones like .... I didn't like the look of monopoly token .. it was only super tiny and they were complaining about the details in it? I've also had people leave feedbacks that said "okay" or something stupid like that. It would make it better if more people left feedbacks. I also find that people buy many items and only ;eave one feedback now.
We don't have any Goodwills here but we have Value Villages (which would be Savers in the US) and Salvation Army stores and I find prices in many of hose places have gotten to the point that I go to other stores now and get items for a 1/10th of their price. Some of them I just stopped going to because their prices are not even worth paying. Last time I was in those sores there wasn't many people in the them anymore. I wonder why. When you can go on Ebay and buy stuff for less then they are selling them including the shipping .... then I have to say have they lost their mind too.
Calling adults by their first name with Ms., Mr., or Miss is a Southern thing, at least in Louisiana. All my children’s friends called me Ms. Lisa when they were growing up. It is meant to show respect. Of course, in school they used the teachers’ last names, not first names.
I was gonna say the same, my girls called my friends Mis/Mr first name unless it was requested to be their last name.
When we left the south, people thought that it was cute to hear my kids use that. We were in Pensacola, Florida.
Yes, neutral feedback is up. I think it could be because eBay changed the feedback form to where it appears to be asking for feedback on the *item*, and not the seller or the buying experience, yet the buyer's comments do get attached to us as sellers. It's been like this for months now, without any change. Ebay clearly doesn't give a hoot about the sellers.
4 years ago, I was spending at least $400 weekly at Goodwill. Now I am lucky to spend $2 weekly. (ON THE POSITIVE SIDE) Now I can sell items on Ebay Cheaper than Goodwill prices. I just have to source other places
Your wife is hilarious. Just like me and my southern ways. Lol. Thank you for sharing your reselling journey with all of us.
It’s cool to see you also do Cary’s advice/motto, when in doubt, part it out.
May was spotty, then the last few days of May until June 4th, I got my upswing- always so I can pay for the store. After June 4th, I got ONE $10 sale until last night. So, 8 painful days with one sale. Last night I got 3 sales each about $10. I've been working all day. I put a lot of time into cross posting though. I'm a disabled widow and this is so painful, I literally have $3 in my checking account. I have one bill I have to pay on the 16th that's $28. So, I MAY have just enough if that deposit for the 3 sales hits fast enough. Otherwise, I have no idea what to do. Just keep trying, I guess.
Great video. Yes my neutral feedback lately has sucked! I have had a 100% positive feedback for years and I work very hard to keep it that way, however 2 negative feedbacks and it has dropped my feedback rating , to about a 98% and I’m not happy about, but whatever, I figure that’s just the world today, what can you do? Oh well. Yes my goodwill also have lost their minds, I think they have not trained their employees properly on how to run comps , you certainly can’t go by listings, you have to look at solds! 😢 I don’t think goodwill cares what I think, obviously. Thanks Mr. Brown, love your videos
I love watching videos Kevin and Heather i love you guys so much good videos keep up the good work yard sale garage sale flea market so much more fun sale on here love it
It's not just Goodwill most of these big thrift stores have dimwits doing the pricing. I was at one, 2 exact same items priced differently. One $1.99 and the other $7.99. The store would not let me have both for $1.99 each. Their exact words "thats the price".
Middle Tennessee Goodwill WORSE.
Our Goodwill does an excellent job removing desirable items. Senior management has successfully trained store staff to remove almost all desirable items. These items are sold by Goodwill online.
The store has become a “nice” high priced Bin store. If you’re looking for Kirkland / Gap clothing, coffee cups or other less desirable pre-sorted items you can find it here. In my opinion, if your a reseller source elsewhere.
If you want to donate, donate elsewhere. What was once a Great organization has lost its soul.
Goodwill has quite a business plan. While they are technically a 501C3 (not-for-profit), the management make very good money, while they in many cases pay less than federal minimum wage to their employees, under the guise of providing "training." Imagine opening a retail store where all your merchandise is free!
My eBay sales are better because had to take time off for a surgery. One of the first items we listed and sold was a Pittsburgh Magazine. We bought it for 50 cents and sold it for $418. Those sales make me nervous because I think they won't be happy even though the listing was clear, Waiting on feedback.
I've sold a bunch this month! So I agree it has been up for me on Ebay also. When it comes to neutral feedback, I have been lucky to have never received neutral feedback, I am currently still sitting at 100% on feedback - Goodwill prices have gone way up! I still find some gems, but the prices have doubled or in some cases tripled in price.
I have 20+ Goodwills to choose from and their prices from store to store are all over the place. Some stores are way cheaper than others.
I just got a neutral from a buyer who was buying something for parts (said "parts" in the title) had communicated extensively with me before purchase and I took a super low parts offer just to move it on. He noted in the feedback that it didn't work. Really?!? So silly. And I got another neutral for someone who thought the colors didn't look the same as the photo, but the shoes were great. Both happened recently and both from people who made offers and emailed me first. People are funny.
I just got a neutral feedback for a coin I sent to Germany. The neutral feedback was basically about the carrier not knocking on the door, rather leaving it in mailbox. I asked the buyer to revise the feedback, which they did. They changed it to positive, but then added that the coin had "milk spots" lol Got to love Ebay!
All these donation places are now eBay resellers. GoodWill, Salvation Army and a lot of church base charity's have gone on the eBay bandwagon. Hate to say it but it's due to RUclips videos and click bait titles like. Look what Goodwill missed! or Goodwill really messed up today.
The upscale Goodwill store called Deja Blue is now closing in my area and have 50-75% off the whole store. Is this happening nationwide with this store? Although I find most of the stuff in there to be mostly standard Red tag items.
Just found your channel and spent Sunday with you!. I do have a question.... my Husband passed of Covid in 2021 and had to sell my house and downsize. Had estate sale for my Hub. I had huge yard sale but still moved into my new tiny digs with way to much. So 1 to 2 times a week i leave a free box at the end of my drive way. But I still have stuff that I hope is worth money. I used to collect Toby Mugs and have boxes of them. Many old ones from Japan. Lot's of other stuff in my shed. How do i go on line and evaluate a price for all or one? And other stuff i want to let go of. My daughter doesn't want anything so there ya go!
As a buyer, eBay asked me to review a sale I cancelled. Why. You can't comment on condition, shipping, or quality of the product because you didn't receive the product because you cancelled it. There is no, not applicable on the review so it becomes neutral.
Most buyers who leave neutral or negative feedback think they are leaving it for ebay and NOT the actual seller. Unfortunately ebay does not have a way to educate buyers for anything they do on ebay. If you are a seller you must follow rules and get in big trouble if you don't but for buyers pretty much anything goes.
I get a lot of what I call “negative positives”. Stuff like “great but I’ve received packages faster from Japan”. I ship same or next day! Just give me an A+ and move on lol
Yep yesterday a guy bought my xbox 360 game and left me neutral feedback because it did not work on his xbox one, ebay refused to remove the feedback which is ridiculous but eventually i got the buyer to amend the feedback, but ebay really need to re-evaluate thier current feedback policy, what they are showing is that unfair feedback is allowed even when its buyer error even though thier terms clearly say about buyer error. What next, a guy leaves a negative because his CD does not work in a VCR and ebay are just gonna leave that feedback up, its nonsense.
My Goodwill prices are horrible here in Florida. I went to Salvation Army today. Spent like an hour came out with nothing very expensive. WORSE
Recently got back from FL. Was tempted… but not that tempted bc I drove straight past their Goodwill… twice 🤓
Prices up because reseller shows bragging about worth. Effects us all. That's ok, leave us the chipped stuff.
Some Goodwill's in my area are better, some worse or were already really bad with prices a year ago. My closest and main one I go to has lowered the prices on many things back closer to what they use to be. New items or ones that resell for a lot, like shoes, are still priced up but not as much ($10 or $12 for a $35 pair now instead of $15 or $19). One other store is starting to figure it out and has lowered a few types of things, but not like my main store. I will continue to go and look each week, I mostly buy items on sale that week, we do have the two color sales here. With garage sale season in full swing it's not as necessary as during the winter. And I don't buy much, just two or three items each trip.
Love the buckle from my home town!
Funkos can be great, you just have to know which ones and categories. Horror is a fantastic category overall. Sports, especially mascots, can be very good too, as well as some music Pops.
It's not your age, it's where you live. Where we live (East Texas), everyone is Mrs. or Mr. And first name. We also say yes sir, yes ma'am, etc. so, there's respect there, it's just a regional thing.
Yep. I never got nutruel feedback. Now got one. Loved product but said shipping high. It was about a pound and 1/2 and charged on the point. So weird.
Goodwill stores in Tennessee have gotten ridiculous, there is no rhyme or reason to their prices. They have broken items priced or just trash that needs to be thrown away. In a lot of cases it's higher than the original price in the store. In our local GW recently they had a buffet priced at $699 granted it was hold but not in good shape at all.
From my research, it's a regional thing. All of TN is under the same region. Each is just as shitty as the other. I know North FL ships all their good items to a central location where they charge damn near retail and the stores get just average junk. TN is the same way. I notice we never get anything good in our stores, but if you go online the same store is selling all the good stuff for eBay prices. I got to where I quit buying from them. It's not worth the time and effort to flip their junk anymore.
@@Cbgrandtheftauto It makes no sense sometimes there will be something really good priced low and trash priced high. I don't know why they have the colored tag "sale" every week since they take most of the sale colored tags off the floor on Sunday afternoon.. I've seen them do it several times.
I am having trouble with neutral feedback as well. Ebay wont remove it no matter how ridiculous it is. I feel ebay is junking up the platform by allowing this type of irrational feedback to be there.
I recently received neutral feedback on a NEW in original package refrigerator filter - because they "haven't used it yet". smh
I’m retired and take care of 45 feral cats,including medical,hospitalizations.I used to make around 3k a month flipping,but since COVID I’m averaging around 300.00 a month.I keep trying,but can’t seem to sell anything. I also have 2 adult autistic sons and it seems like the last 4 years has been so down .any prayers would be appreciated by anyone❤
Apply for government grants. Start a non profit for taking care of the cats.
I care about you and for your dear sons. I’ll be praying for you!
I customer gave me a negative review because they were wrong about the delivery date. They came back and said oh I’m wrong. I made a mistake. They actually delivered it early to me but eBay won’t let me delete it and give you a positive review. Wish they would change that rule. I’ve even appealed it and they still said sorry it doesn’t break our rules. It’s just computer automated anybody have any tips
I sold a doll that was in good condition. I had multiple pictures to prove it. The woman who bought her washed her hair using regular shampoo. You dont wash a dolls hair using regular shampoo because it will make the hair fall out. So she lies and tries to say her hair was already like that. Ebay ignores all the proof i had and just took her side. I will say it again. I dont care how much money you have to spend. There has to be stuff to buy. So sellers are just as important. EBAY!
My local Goodwill operates under the same region as yours.. They had got outrageous with their pricing, and their sales started suffering. A few weeks ago the regional managers came in and told them to price things more reasonably. Some things are still pretty ridiculous, but overall it has been more fairly priced
I rarely go in a Good Will any longer. The closest to me is about an hour away but I used to go when I was in that town but it is so ridiculous with their prices that it is not even worth the effort. Plus I Have a big issue with that goodwill writing prices with a Sharpie marker or items that it won't come off of such as a back pack!! On the fabric!! Absurd!
I feel like all the neutrals are from eBay pestering people to leave feedback because I’ve gotten a few lately that are just like l, it was the wrong thing and I got my money back. Like who would come back and leave feedback like that if it wasn’t eBay urging them to do it. I know they bug the hell out of me about it.
Had a few neutral feedbacks in the last year, a couple about USPS taking forever to get the items to them and 1 where the game worked but took a while to load.
Kevin these vids are becoming like clickbait. It has about 2 minutes of Topic content at the very end. Why not do a video of all the money you are making and then a separate video concerning the topic title? A little disappointing and time consuming.
Goodwill and even my church thirft have raised prices. Its a shame. I see folks who cannot pay those prices. I even told a man to go next door to big lots to grab new pants and shirt for lower price than Goodwill had. He did.
My 17 year old’s friends still call me Miss Michele. I think it’s the proper way. I would cringe too!
You can't really blame Goodwill, after the news stories where someone buys a painting for $5 and sells it for $100K. The store is there to help poor people, not to give resellers a career.
And now EVERYONE is priced out.
Some people are so strange. Why leave neutral feedback for something that you admit is your own fault?
Man, Coach Kevin, how do you remember ALL the prices you paid for every item? 🤔
goodwill in PA is terrible and getting worse go to my local one twice a day and there is so much overpriced stuff there selling single hotwheels cars for 2.99 and things that you can buy from a store like walmart sometimes for half the price and when you try to talk to them they dont want to hear it
I used to run a gw part of the reason I left was the greed. They'd do so much more sales and help out alot more people if not for all the greed. Crazy budgets on donated goods.
Working for me Is better.
Have a question for you…. Do you prefer Auctions or Buy it Now when you do EBay, and why?
Im not a reseller but ive seen this coming, you have yourselfs to blame, now i like alot of you resllers so please dont take my words as harshment on the reseller.ok i watch alot of resllers talk about how much profit you make from yardsales goodwill, many resellers will lose their ability to restoke everthing has changed so hold on the ride is go be hard
I add that type of neutral feedback to the 'why people suck' list. I've received similar feedback and makes me realize how people either don't think and/or they feel righteous enough to need their voice to be heard regardless of reality. Keep on truckin'.
Haven’t sold anything about a week, June is doing so terribly for me and very stressed 😩 😭
It seems like Good will just raised everything but you can still find good deals.
Rain??? What's that? 106° here. Would LOVE rain
I gave neutral feedback once because the sealed dvd was cracked when I opened it and they didn't accept returns. Sometimes feedback is based on you being satisfied or not even if the transaction went smoothly and the seller was not at fault. Not realizing that the game didn't play on the machine it wasn't intended to is a little weird for a neutral review though.
I know a man who had dealt with all these places. He said the thrift town is the only one who truly helps people. The rest are lying greedy idiots
Not age at all calling someone Mr or Coach and last name is just showing respect for the person and their position
the more i work, the more i make. the more i list, the more i sell!!! who wolda thought !!! haha
I had a manager tell me that the cost of goods has increased. WTF is she talking about?
My neutral feedback is higher also and some of them are for reasons I have no control over.
goodwill stores in az are all over the place on prices and usually on the higher end
Stormy Kromer is made in Ironwood Michigan in da UP.
Stormy Chromer hat is made un Ironwood Michigan
I bet it was humid after the rain it almost always is near Buffalo NY
And they have the audacity to ask if you want to round up your change .
I think that buyers are leaving neutral because it wasn't a good or bad experience but it was an experience lol. Most people don't realize that a neutral feedback is like a stain on a seller's account. I had a person request to cancel an order, which I did for them. They left a neutral that said "THIS ORDER WAS CANCELED". Just like that in all caps. Ummm, yeeesss, it sure was. Because you requested it!! Haha! I just sent in a request to get it removed and it was removed immediately. Kevin, it's easy enough to send in a request to get them removed. The reason you have so many is because you aren't trying to get them removed anymore lol
Good advice, but doesn't always work. I sent two requests recently for removal and Ebay replied to respect the buyers' opinion.
