Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Saturday 5-24-2025

Episode Date: May 24, 2025

As I expected Ebay did not have my back on one of the only times I stand up for a Parts sale sold. I made my Case. The Buyer gets the Returns. I always end up having to take all the damage, round trip shipping cost and refund on something I went Triple out of my way hand picking each one I had shipped all same day for this ending. I will shake it off know I will never have to sell to that buyer again. Negative and Neutral Feebacks go away after a year. My Difficult & issue Buyers Block is a lifetime. I am still left with both Nasty Positive Feedbacks. What a Complete Nightmare.

Good morning everyone it is now 6 11 been up for about a half hour of course I go out there and take care of my buddies As always They need you they depend on you 110% This is my guinea pigs. They're like a bomb when I go from there in the morning to completely clean them up fresh food fresh water See on my bird and then my little hamster rocket So we're going into the holiday weekend now. Saturday so we'll see what. Yesterday I didn't do any videos I spent the day

mass listing a whole bunch of stuff. I got my listings up to about a thousand on eBay. I am going to when I get Ford it set up Macari and Parchmark. We'll throw a few things there. We'll do something new for the summer. And I do have a nice cool pocketbook I'm going to put on Parchmark. It's a gaming themed pocketbook. But I can't afford the subscription right now. And of course, as I expected, and very disappointed, eBay. So yesterday, there was a reminder of the two returns.

So I decided to give my side of the story for the returns and then just have eBay step in. And of course, they favored the buyer for both of the returns. So that's where we're at that. Let's leave it at that. And then when that comes in in we'll look at it Give everything I had for that and that's what we ended up, but I'm not a pushover I never will be when it comes to

If it's if I'm doing selling some as a part slot, and I'm giving you the best I have I'm not gonna return them if it's if I always take returns Believe me you could see some of the returns I've taken But if it's not marked as a return is as is kind of thing and that's what it is But eBay always goes in the favor of the buyer so I Ended up with all the collateral damage and everything but in the end of the day I'll never have to sell that seller again that buyer again, so I Should have blocked that person from day one and I went against my gut feeling

to try to help them out and this is where I ended up. But we always take all the damage. I have to do all the returns and all that so that's just the way it is. But we'll move on from it pretty easy. I already got lots of new good positive feedbacks now so we'll go from there. Just it's really hard to sell gaming parts. Alright so let's get a little handle on where we're at this morning Didn't really have any or I had one or two orders yesterday But yeah yesterday, I didn't really do any of the listings

I did not put videos for them just cuz I could so I could do a bunch of them without having to take more time So we didn't do that yesterday today. I'm going to do some with videos I think. We'll see. We'll see where we are. So no orders on Etsy. Five star feedback. Thanks for offering this. It saved my dead GameCube. Oh cool. So Power Board for the Nintendo GameCube fixed his GameCube. So that's all I'm about. Right? But I also sell parts stuff too. Just uh... power board for the nintendo gamecube uh... fixed his uh... so that's all i'm about right but i also sell part stuff too just like everybody else does

actually i sell probably as much part stuff as i do working stuff because everyone can use part stuff to you as i said to use them for parts so let's see a clean metal gear creator won't So we'll see we'll see what goes on death strandings getting closer, I think it's in June 26 Let's see. Billy Joel has got some sort of brain cancer thing, or cancer, brain issue. God bless him.

Alright, let's see, let's go to RSS feed. Check in here, see what we have going on. We had just a couple downloads, which is normal for me. I consistently do this every morning, so it's always there. And there's always something going on every morning. Yeah, one download. We had a couple of places, Manola, Ashburn. Sweden, that's a new one.

Pretty cool. Welcome, Sweden. I don't know how to say the word. It's O-A-R-E that pretty cool. And again, you can always go to my YouTube page Lots of things going on there. Check out my e-bag Etsy is my side quest little store and soon we're gonna have Makari a little bit of Makari and some Parchmok action Coming soon. They'll be my new little stores. We'll see how those go I don't want to overwhelm myself with stores because then I can't keep track of it and I've never sold them Parchmock so I don't know how the shipping goes and I don't know same with McCarrie so we'll just try it try a couple little things I thought about going back to whatnot

which is where you can do some live stream stuff but I haven't got to that point yet all right so let's look at YouTube. It's where my most of my, besides eBay, most of my effort has continued to be, because I'm just doing stuff every day anyway. Although, yesterday I didn't do any videos, just my podcast. So we've gone up to 41,336 subscribers. I have a few big promoted, excuse me, big promoted videos.

And so they're the, now I've altered to 40,000, has 848 views. And then my, when two vulgar feedbacks turn into Where I'm at now where I have to take the return anyway, which I knew I was gonna do anyway The a even if a person for a buyer and I ever I've never Holly Ever asked for anything from eBay for a case or anything And the only one and this time and the last time with the other guy with these,

I've never asked for a case to go in my favor. Or I've never even had a case, I don't even open cases. And both times they eBay favored into the buyer. So this is what it is. Alright so I get this guy, John Spear. Says, sir what is this? It's a 3D scanner. It's a 3D scanner. It's a 3D scanner

for the iPhone 6 I never had time never had time yet to go back to cool it's called a precision Aurora high precision 3d scanner i was going to do lots of 3d printing stuff but yet to 3d print anything it's almost been a wasted investment hi sir i use my money to become a subscriber and i want to support you

awesome awesome awesome. You get the few dollars, the three dollars off any purchase on eBay. eBay. So this is my first member. I never had a member before. So the only thing I can really offer is dollars off of eBay listings. So you on eBay just make a note you are a member when purchasing there's really no When purchasing, I will partial refund you then. Then. I think it's then within yen. Then and then I always get that maxed out. Awesome. It says you are my first one.

I think you spent five bucks so I got five dollars towards I will partially refund you. You are my first one. Thank you. I'll put a thank you too on it. So this is new for me. There's really no reason people, I have no other way I can give them something as a member other than taking a few bucks off of a sale. So that's what I do. And my first one. Pretty cool.

Always the first for everything on eBay and Etsy and definitely here on YouTube. As we build here, so we're at forty one thousand three hundred and thirty seven subscribers so going up seven thousand one hundred and seventy one I just did my one-on-one just recently and we had a couple of I have a member now which is funny which is awesome actually I'm sure a lot of numbers actually and then we've already hit obviously 40 over 40,000 subscribers. We've also had the accomplishment of 1 million 500 views

Which is pretty cool and At the end of the day my revenue went up to $21 and 76 cents I did check my Google Adsense. That's where you get paid. I'm at $90. So I may maybe make $100 by next month. And I'll get my second $100. And that just goes against the probably $600 that I spent or more probably. Probably more like $800 on promotions. So I paid my way up the ladder here But it's you kind of live and learn and maybe as I always say it'll all balance off sometime at some point Or it'll actually go in my favor where I won't have to promote anymore, and I'll just get lots of views but

I've just decided if you just keep doing you and it hasn't worked by now. I don't think it ever will Right. I can't do anything different. I will add some other fun stuff outside But it's just whatever you do. I call doing you Then this is me. So although I get lots of views 88 point 6k watch hours are down six 627 point five and I try to mix it up with the stuff. I do I try anyway But we're gonna do some more outdoor stuff again soon as I'm working. We're gonna be yard sale Looks like maybe this weekend coming up not not not this weekend the next weekend

So we'll do some videos of the yard sale Stuff like that too, so that'll be fun we got lots I've been really mass moving stuff around and getting stuff organized to bring it all out to yard sale to eventually bring it to some place to donate lots and lots of stuff. Alright so drum roll for the eBay. the even i really put in a lot of effort yesterday let's see if it helped me home okay i had to send out a board to someone i mean a mistake i mean a rookie mistake

someone ordered to something and i was hit one't see the number two. I missed it. Just got the idea, everything was great, just the tip. Let's see what happened here. Everything was great, just the tip. Get some bubble wrap.

The ball is supply hot. Unless you have... I like the ball. This is okay. I like the boat. It says ok. These were small nuts. He's telling me I have to bubble wrap. Thanks again for parts.

You saved my way. In what way would I... Okay. understand all basic packing 101 these are small nuts in what way small nuts in what way this always gets me in trouble, but I don't care. It tells me that I did... so, Nintendo Wii has the little nut that goes where the battery compartment is, but it's inside. So I sell them 10 per lot for the nuts. And this guy tells me I have to bubble wrap them.

I'm like, what? These are small nuts. In what way would I ever add bubble wrap to these? I do not understand the tip at all. Understand free shipping is not free for me. Even these little guys cost me eight dollars my cost out the door. Buying any for. Buying any other things to then add to a teeny box adds to my cost. I do everything possible to ship same day at the lowest price price I can. I make a few bucks per listing. Your tip takes that away. So okay I understand all basic packing 101. These were small nuts. I put them in a zip lock bag taped to the packing slip. I think I put those in a box. use padded envelopes and loops but these would be one something I would use those for. Zip lock, zip lock bag, zip lock bag. And oops, this recently I used those for. These are teeny metal items in what way would I ever have to

bubble wrap these whatever I had to add bubble wraps I don't understand the tip at all yeah so that's my question I don't get that at all oh there's always a chance besides those white concert that you can... You have certain special editions. I have a few black ones to check. But if you ever run across something, so, so, so, I am, I am listing that one, one I I videoed today at about 150 with 30% off discount. upon. It will be the complete unit. As is as is as tested. So let's see we have $15 PSP.

I definitely have to take that. Because now I'm in a negative because of the returns. There's two of them. And the amount is pretty expensive. That means I'm in a hole. And that's also a real bummer. What a nightmare. So we'll do that. So we're working on paying off a debt now.

And I believe it puts my funds on hold. So that kind of messes me up. So the whole thing was a mess. All I had to do was accept the return originally and I probably would have avoided all this, but I didn't. Because I shipped out a lot of good stuff working as best as I could And of course, I have no idea what I'm gonna get back, but we'll go with it when it comes back Item works great and was well packed. Oh, that's that chainsaw. I said I shipped a chainsaw which I had to take it apart It was a works electric chainsaw. It didn't really leak or anything. I thought it leaked a little bit Just as described was for the Famicon

um... exactly what I ordered, got it out, shipped, great experience, seller. All those are my nuts, the guy that told me I need to put padding slip. uh... Commodore 64 trash item as described well packed, quick shipply, would buy again from this buyer. So this is where it works, this is what I'm about. Everything came as described and so it was very helpful. Quickshipping perfect. So normally things go great but when they go bad for me

they go really bad because I will not react well to things that are something that I don't agree with. Let's see what my summary is. I need to get out of the hole now. I'm not there. I'm still in the hole. We're getting closer now. So I had three sales and unfortunately, let's see we have four sales here. We had the PSP front logo, I have two of those. The PSP 1001 logo door. Another Wii U front panel, I had another one of those. Thanks after all. That's pretty awesome. Xbox One 1540 Seagate Hard Drive with the system on it. And then I have the Better Heat Sink Set. And I've got two different sets.

I've got to put them a little bit lower. This one's going to be the nicer one. I'm going to pull those audio videos today. I have all the 10, so I should have 10 more. Hopefully most of them have, but some of them might be bolt mounted too. I'm going to find out. It's my first thing we're going to do this morning as I do my orders. Let's see if I can pull out another good one.

Then I have one I've got to drill the screw off because I can't the the X clamp screw won't come off it just somehow it's stripped or the X clamp broke or something happened so we'll I can't think I told me I need bubble wrap for nuts oh my god I'd never be able to survive I put bubble wrap in for nuts I put things in those ziplock bags the little parts they're going to ziplock bag I tape them to the packing slip and they usually go in a box, but I can't remember because those are little nuts I just threw them in a padded envelope, which I hardly ever use That's pretty wild I mean hey, I understand you put bubble wrap everything just keep buying all kinds of stuff But usually I was getting a lot of bubble wrap

Which I still have actually a lot When I used to get get a lot of stuff, but I really can't afford it anymore So I got some I got a bunch of bubble wrap around but I'm not gonna throw bubble wrap inside of a little box or envelope with nuts that are metal What does that make any sense? I don't really understand that one But I mean I guess if you just automatic if I was it you know if I was a if I had like a professional Store I'm pretty professional just doing it myself

but I mean if I actually had a business where I had a shipping center and You know I get lots of things from places like that where you get it and it's super bubble wrapped. That's a business. I'm just me. A one man shop trying to make a buck and get things shipped to you as cheap and as quick as possible. That's it. So I can't, I have to, you know, I don't want to say cut corners but I make it as simple as possible. If it's a simple item to ship I make it simple as possible just to save money right alright so this is my orders this morning everything's look everything else is looking alright and we'll update on the return when that comes back I'm working to pay that off right now because that

was quite the hit I took on those two that was the other reason I don't want to take a return because I had already committed to it and everything was done and this is where we're at all right so you guys have a good afternoon enjoy this long weekend and I'll see you tomorrow morning all right bye
