Topic | Need some eBay advice on a "damaged" shipment to buyer |
ShatteredElysium 02/07/22 3:46:11 PM #10 | Well the reason I mentioned partial refund is because it's literally one of the resolution choices on eBay when a case is opened. So it's all done through eBay without any potentially for fuckery. If they agree to it the case is closed and cannot be reopened by them. |
Topic | Need some eBay advice on a "damaged" shipment to buyer |
ShatteredElysium 02/06/22 11:02:16 PM #5 | If they open a case under item not as described then eBay will force a return (regardless of your return policies) and refund once it arrives back if that's how the buyer wants to proceed. Even if the buyer was lying and the item was in perfect condition when you received it back, that will still be what happens. I've had it happen tons of times to me with shoes. You basically have three options.

Topic | Shady eBay situation. |
ShatteredElysium 02/04/22 3:06:51 PM #2 | Complain to eBay support. Usually they side with the buyer. I'm not sure what they would do in this specific scenario but at the very least the seller will get dinged. |
Topic | How many of your GRANDPARENTS are still alive??... |
ShatteredElysium 02/04/22 7:44:00 AM #7 | 2. Both my grandmothers are still alive. One is in her early 90s and the other is around 80. Grandfather on my dad's side died in 2016 and in 1997 on my mom's side. |
Topic | Do you have a 32GB, 64GB or 128GB CELLPHONE??. |
ShatteredElysium 02/04/22 6:52:25 AM #4 | 256GB which I genuinely thought was the standard now since that's what my last 2 phones have had and I normally keep a phone for 2-3 years before switching it out. OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 9 Pro have been my last 2 phones so I guess kind of high end but kind of not since they are cheaper than the top of the line phones? |

Topic | Djokovic out of the Aussie Open after getting kicked out at the border. |
ShatteredElysium 01/28/22 12:17:21 PM #83 | Pretty much. The implication is he tested positive around christmas and his negative test is actually from prior to his positive test. His negative test had a lower serial number than his positive test and all other data they found from the same testing facilities show test serials are sequential. That also would mean someone at the facility/government falsified it for him if true. Or his team falsified documents after receiving them Here's the article. https://www.bbc.com/news/59999541 |
Topic | Djokovic out of the Aussie Open after getting kicked out at the border. |
ShatteredElysium 01/28/22 10:19:23 AM #81 | I see this morning it was implied that Djokovics positive COVID test may have been altered. His positive result had a higher test batch number than his negative. And his positive batch number result matches up with a positive test date of 24-26th rather than the 16th he said. From the sequence of data they got, Djokovic's positive batch number was the only outlier, the rest were in chronological order as expected. |
Topic | eBay help? |
ShatteredElysium 01/28/22 10:04:30 AM #22 | Underleveled posted... Yes but, at least when I was selling on eBay like 7-10 years ago, you could only leave positive buyer feedback. There was no negative option other than to report them to eBay. It sucks when you get bad buyers and there's nothing you can do. I've had people return stuff with made up reasonings so that A. I have to accept the refund and B. They don't have to pay return shipping. Basically if the buyer claims it is not as described, eBay always sides with the buyer and allows a return with the seller paying shipping and there is nothing you can do about it. Anyway, the reason they removed the ability to leave negative feedback for buyers is because some sellers were being shitty and using it to blackmail buyers. ChaosTonyV4 posted... Damn thats crazy, lol. Being a seller sounds like it sucks. Yep, it absolutely does. Most buyers are great but if one decides to be a dick, there are very few instances where eBay will side with the seller even if the buyer is lying. A buyer can literally say item was not as described then return a different item and eBay will still force the refund and side with the seller because you can't prove the correct item was sent. The only thing I've heard being good enough as proof is recording the item being packaged and immediately shipped. I used to record me just packaging the item, sealing it and putting the shipping label on. I was told it wasn't enough because I could have opened it up after the video and redone the packaging. |

Topic | What kind of face mask do you usually wear? |
ShatteredElysium 01/27/22 12:49:40 PM #21 | When I wear one, a cloth one. I wore N95s early in the pandemic. I'm in Florida though and virtually nobody ever wears masks and hasn't for a long time. So I only wear one when it's required at this point. It's going to be so bizarre in years to come because my experience of COVID restrictions is going to be wildly different to basically everyone else in the states and especially my family back in England. I am vaccinated but I have unsurprisingly (given Florida's stance, not an anti-vax stance) had COVID twice (June 2020 and Dec 2021). I probably got Delta too at some point but I didn't get a positive test for that like original and Omicron. |

ShatteredElysium 01/24/22 12:30:54 PM #204 | Give both teams possession. If there's a TD on the first teams possession, the second team gets the same amount of game clock time to match them. If they score faster they win, if they don't they lose. Still sucky but I'd prefer it to what we have now. |

I know I have to be wrong otherwise it wouldn't be 'hard' mode but mentally to me getting 1 letter in the correct place seems to narrow down the number of potential words more than knocking out 1 additional letter. |

ShatteredElysium 01/20/22 12:33:01 PM #112 | I'm always surprised that 'hard' mode is actually hard mode. Like I instinctively played via hard mode rules because it felt like that would be the best way to do it and then was surprised to see that people do not do it that way. |

Topic | Is your employer requiring proof of covid vaccination? |
ShatteredElysium 01/06/22 5:15:24 PM #12 | No but they really should. Our customer base is literally unhealthy elderly people and we send technicians into their house in every state. We do have pretty strict policies in place other than vaccination requirements for techs but as they are essentially out there solo it would take a customer complaint to flag them not following them. For office staff I'd say it's never going to happen as our HQ is in Florida but maybe our NJ warehouse does have the requirement in place due to local policies |

Topic | NFL Week 17 Discussion Topic |
ShatteredElysium 01/02/22 7:53:14 PM #177 | Man, I absolutely fumbled the bag in fantasy this season. Last week of the regular season I didn't properly set my line-up as I was playing a dead team and it didn't look like the game mattered. Wrong, it did. I lost the game and it changed my seed. I got eliminated in the playoffs week 1 but wouldn't have if I had won that final regular season game. What happened after that? I set the league season high for points in the semi-final week. I am on course to do the same the week of the finals. So basically being lazy in the final week of the season cost me $1000. |

Topic | Bi-yearly that only bad people use fireworks at home. |
ShatteredElysium 01/01/22 7:45:12 AM #35 | I have 5 cats and a dog and none of them give a shit about fireworks. I also work with 5 different rescues though, so I know that is not the norm and they cause crazy amounts of stress to a lot of animals. They also lead to a lot of animals going missing. Really the reason that fireworks are obnoxious though is because they don't have to be made with the loud explosions. They can be made to go off a lot quieter / almost silently. So the triggering part to pets and veterans could be eliminated but isn't because people like loud noises. |
Topic | College Football Discussion Topic - Part 3 |
ShatteredElysium 12/31/21 9:03:12 PM #479 | I'm a Buckeye so have lots of OSU friends and one of them has always insisted we only lost because the snow equalizing the playing field. Of course that's BS, we looked vulnerable all year (we were at the Oregon game, we saw it first hand!) and got bullied the shit out of on the day but he's now feeling vindicated. I said all year I didn't want to see us play Georgia and I'm kinda glad. Maybe it wouldn't be this bad but it wouldn't be much better. I do feel bad for my Michigan friend. Paid a fortune for sideline tickets for the game (which I'm sure he says was worth it) but then he did the same for this game too. Not just for him, for his wife and two kids. So I'm sure between the games he's 20-30k deep just judging from me paying $800 for midbowl tickets for the game years ago. |
