I have plastic ramps and a smooth garage floor. One time I was using them with a rwd car. When I was going up the rear brake line decided to fail and the car pushed the ramps and ran into my toolbox.

I was about to say this. I created !flipping@lemmy.world to discuss selling on various platforms and I've sold plenty of boxes. One person sent me pics of their many copies of windows 98, 95, etc. boxes, like a disturbing amount.

Depending on the age you should look at the capacitors on the one that won't power on.

It's always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!

I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as an independent alternative.

You can run a direct disk copy of a phone and then recover "deleted" data. You need root access to do it. I'm sure they have plug in tools to do it on most phones. Just don't give them your access password or don't use your old phone.

Just say that you brought an old phone in case it gets lost or stolen since you don't have cell access anyway, no point in bringing your good phone.

I mostly just use Ketoconazole shampoo (Nizoral) on the areas and leave it directly on without water for around five minutes. It has something to do with having oily skin, which is counter intuitive because it gets so dried out and flakes. I also believe it has to do with hydration, diet, overall stress levels, and even weather/environment. I also believe I have some kind of minor chronic inflammatory issue/ fatigue syndrome. I have considered changing my diet one thing at a time to make sure it's not a problem with dairy or red meat.

I have seborrheic dermatitis so not washing my skin causes a rash.

Discuss selling on different platforms like eBay, marketplace, Craigslist, Mercari, etc.

No, you don't have to be in the "hustle and grind" mindset. You can be a casual reseller, or just learn the ins and outs in order to get the best outcome from selling your own personal items. I've been casually selling on eBay for 22 years and am happy to answer questions.

I've been selling on eBay for over 20 years. I created a community to discuss selling on various online and local platforms.Whether you're just trying to unload some personal items, or you're a full time reseller we want to hear your questions, successes, and failures.

 

I always look forward to her videos. One of the most wholesome and honest flippers on YouTube.

 

This is a quick guide on selling items on eBay in the u.s. I've been selling on eBay for over 20 years and learned a thing or two. This is not a comprehensive guide, and by all means I am not an expert.

If you don't already have an eBay account go ahead and create one. New sellers will have limits on the amount of listings they can create and total dollar amount of sales.

Find a few items that you would like to sell.

We'll start by looking up each item on ebay and possibly other places such as Amazon to see what other sellers are asking. After that we will filter the search results by "sold" this will tell you how much people are actually paying for the items. You should consider the price plus shipping as a total price.

At first you should consider items in the $20-$30 range that don’t weigh too much. Shipping cost is a big factor in how much you will net from the sale. Ebay takes a small fee plus a percentage of the total sale which includes the shipping amount you charge (if any) so you don’t want to sell items under around $10 or the shipping and fees could cost you more than you make. https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/selling-fees?id=4822#section2

Once you find a comparable item "comp" click on it to make sure that the listing matches what you're trying to sell, including condition.

Once you've decided what a good price is, pick a sold listing that has a good sounding title and click "sell one like this." That will open up a listing page and copy over a lot of information and the listing title.

Now you can create your listing. First, be 100% sure that your title is correct and that you're utilizing all 80 characters. You can do some seo here. Eliminate duplicate words and try to think of different words people might use to search for the item.

Photos: Photos are the most important part of listing, if your photos suck, then nobody is going to buy from you. They don't have to be ultra professional, but you should take some time to make them look good. Find some natural lighting and a clean surface with a nice background. You can buy a piece of white poster board and curve it up from the floor to the wall to make a semi professional background avoid using the background removal tool, it looks really bad.

This process is going to vary quite a bit depending on your preferences. I like to take photos before I start listing. You can also take photos from the app. If you start your listing from desktop you can click "upload from mobile" which will give you a notification on your phone where you can continue the listing and take photos if you haven't already. You can upload short videos up to one minute, the option is only on desktop and is burried. Very useful if you want to show item condition of a collectible figurine you can put it on a lazy susan and spin it around.

Item specifics, condition, and description: These just need to be accurate. Avoid using the AI description, it's terrible. Even just "in good condition" for item description is fine. People don't read item descriptions as ebay hides them pretty far down in the app listing. Your title, photos, and condition sections should tell the whole story as much as possible. If there's something important you need to say in the description you should put READ in the item title.

Pricing and shipping: As far as buying format, I always use buy it now, sometimes with offers turned on. I would avoid allowing offers for now. If you do allow offers, be sure to set a minimum offer amount. My shipping rule of thumb has always been that if it’s under one lb it’s ok to offer free shipping. If it’s over one lb I do calculated shipping. Shipping rates are determined by distance. If you offer free shipping on a heavy item, someone in Hawaii or Puerto Rico will buy it and you will lose money on the sale. Enter in your packed weight and dimensions. You don’t have to box it up now, but it’s a good idea to have a shipping box ready. Set the handling time to at least 2 days. If you set one day then someone will buy the item at 10 at night and you will need to ship it the next day.

At the very bottom there is an option to promote your listing. Ebay allows you to decide a percentage of the final sale. You can use this if you want, it only gets charged if the buyer clicks through a promoted listing. Generally I don’t use the recommended amount and only use it on rare items where someone outside of ebay might be interested in it.

 

!flipping@lemmy.world

Discuss and learn how to sell items on marketplaces such as eBay, Craigslist, Mercari, and many more.

You don't have to be a full time reseller, learn and resell your own personal items for someone else to enjoy.

 

The ansible instructions state to run

git pull && git checkout version_name

but I don't understand what url to put there.

I saw that a user was banned by moderator on my instance and their comments removed. I don't have a moderator, it's just me, I'm the only user. I thought I accidently fumble fingrred the ban button and restored their comments and appologize. Come to find out that they were banned from their own instance.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. On one hand it's good if it's a really bad user posting spam or worse. On the other hand it is a conduit for censorship. If an admin doesn't like what you post on another instance, then they can censor you everywhere. On top of that, it makes it look like I am banning people, and I don't like that at all if they're just making normal comments. It should say something else and I should get some kind of alert that lets me know so that I can decide if the comments on my instance are appropriate.

 

I created !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

I decided to create a whole new instance for dull content

!dullsters@dullsters.net

 

I'm the creator of !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

I created a whole new dull instance for dull people.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

 
 

I created !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world a few months ago and then started seeing contraversies around moderation policies and federation that just don't apply to the type of content on dull mens club so I decided to make an instance solely to host that community.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

I'm not sure if this has happened yet, but I like the idea of having a neutral instance that users can still visit regardless of what happens. There's no user signups, only admin/moderator accounts. Users have to use an account from a federated instance.

 

I created the popular !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world several months ago.

In the interest of decentralization, I decided to create an independent instance.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

The dull mens club community will stay active, but please visit us at the new one.
