This $300 Ebay Return was the final nail in the coffin!

[@Major_Win]

Now is a good opportunity to stand up for your son. He’s brand new at editing, did a great job, and many of us like the styling. You might lose a few, but sad to say… there are times when people will leave because they are not comfortable with something. “The one thing that will never change is people complaining about change”

[@oscargaming4843]

I really love Elijah's editing, and clearly, there are people out there who don't like humor 🙄

[@janetting5940]

I love the Elijah's edit of your videos. I think he really know you to edit that way. It is so funny. Keep up the great work.

[@Iamsj1313]

I enjoyed Elijah’s editing a lot. Fun and creative!

[@dustindoylebrand]

Let Elijah edit and let the complainers keep watching to complain.

[@thodegirl33703]

Elijah makes me literally laugh out loud😂😂😂 Please keep him! You were on my neck of Florida, I am in St Pete. 🎉

[@WassonsWorld]

Come on folks variety is the spice of life. Elijah’s editing is great. It’ll get even better with practice.

[@mr-vet]

Dave, the buyer has 30 days from the actual delivery date; not the order or shipping date.

[@flippinghotfinds1669]

Elijah Did A Great Video Edit!!. It Was Absolutely Fantastic!! I honestly Can't believe that people have the time to even complain about and create such non-sense!! Besides People! This Is A Child Who Is More Mature Than The Winers..

[@lucydavis1477]

I had a similar customer that asked me one or two questions every day for three days and I finally pulled the item from the listing, just to avoid continuing a relentless relationship. She still messaged a few more times to tell me how devastated she was. I hope she can find another “Mother Goose “ light. Great video

[@lisad1623]

On the broken dish, if you haven't already, absolutely put in a claim. You paid extra for the insurance, so you should absolutely get reimbursed. Keep your spirits up. You're still doing great.

[@violetvain5182]

You have turned out to be one of my favorite ‘everything’ sellers. I come here mainly for the comedy and your real life lessons. Although not fun for you I am sure we can all relate to the struggles and it’s nice to know that we’re not alone with that. I’ve also picked up saying Oh Mylanta and my family really enjoys that. Lol

[@bizzNES17]

eBay wouldn’t let you do a partial refund on the Oh Snaps because you lost your Top Rated status…that’s one of the perks you get with that

[@emusaurus]

Must be an American thing. My bro isn't top rated and he was allowed to offer half back in 🇦🇺

[@paulabelouin]

I’ve never commented on a video before but omg, the Elijah video had me roaring! I found the fart across Florida so funny that I played the video again when my husband came home and he was dying too!! We thought it was you that edited it and loved it and now we love it even more!! Poo poo to the whiny face people!!

[@gotjunkinourtrunk]

People come and go anyway on all channels for all kinds of reasons. I love the way your son is so creative with the edits. One creative suggestion (from a 63 year old you tuber and viewer of loads of videos), I have found myself trying to just keep up with the picking segments in between the "fun stuff" additions he has added. Those graphic additions give a lot of texture, great laughs, etc to the video and need to stand out. My suggestion, he may want to slow down the picking sections just a tiny bit so the viewer can catch up mentally while viewing. If the video has that much movement in the picking sections (because frankly that is the way you pick, fast!), it creates kind of a "strobe" for old folks like me and has no senses "recovery". I know this might not make much sense, but I feel like he would want to know how to improve especially if he is already sooo good at this. Bottom line, LOVE the editing style, love laughing all the way through. Elijah, you got this, it will only improve!

[@CranstonSandwich]

Honestly, I think in the little time Elijah has been doing editing he’s gotten a lot better. I don’t know why people would hate on that.

[@slugmama1]

Elijah's editing is awesome! Keep him working on it. 8-)))

[@Zoemanator]

Your son’s video edits are great! Disregard those other comments from the negative people. Or, in Trash to Cash fashion, keep doing it just to spite them 😂😂 but either way I enjoyed the extras he puts in.

[@Major_Win]

Agreed. When toxic people leave, don’t fret, but have joy… sometimes the trash takes itself out. 😂

[@sherricramer3648]

Elijah’s editing was fantastic. Laughed a lot. I’m sorry you are dealing with so much stress. Thanks for keeping it real!

[@lindahutslar7733]

Sorry about the van issues! Life is so fun! Love you and your family & I can't ever forget Hazel !!❤

[@AbbyAvocado77]

I feel bad that life is stressful right now for you. I’ve been there. Glad you made the decision to fix the car. That is one big stressor off your plate. Just think of how much fun you will have with Cary and Dawn next week. It’s something great that you are looking forward to. About the shipping on the low price golf clubs, just charge $2.99 or $3.99 to ship. Most reasonable people won’t bat an eye at that low price of shipping. They will probably feel like they are getting a great deal and be happy to pay it.

[@farmlifethrifter5732]

Your sons editing may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's great that he is helping you and honing a skill that will be beneficial to him in the current world we live in - an internet world. And on the day I'm watching this, I've had a stressful day: runaround with insurance regarding a bill, cleaning my chicken coop 💩💩💩, slice my finger on a hinge, so was glad to here your problems. 😉 Made me feel better. 😂😅😊

[@anthonylanger1]

He is trying to get that partial refund and probably has no plan to return the item. Happens often with big price electronics with me, especially if they are missing part that you state in the listing. I typically let them do the return and majority does not mail it back, especially 31 days later and ebay closes it out once they hit miss the shipping deadline.

[@TravisInDallas]

They are probably short on rent

[@regalseagullGA]

Man I stress about money all the time. Trying to quit my job to go full time reselling. I finally paid off my car in November. But, student loan payments kicked back up in October. Trying to save at least 3 months of bills in advance. Luckily, we have health insurance through my husband's job. We'd like to start a family soon and me being able to stay home will be good. Been doing well on whatnot and ebay recently but, cant seem to leave that consistency of a steady paycheck. Even though I'd love to leave. I enjoy the Elijah edits. Fun to mix things up every so often.

[@SouthernVermontVintage]

Do not quit your day job, always keep a part time job going. When you start folks gravitate towards the new products and sellers. It can be deceiving at first. The roller coaster is fast and crazy, will take you a couple years to figure out if you can go full time. Peace and Love SVV

[@lorettavanpelt7567]

Hi Dave and Fam. Glad you brought us along to the gymnastics 😊❤ go Anna do great!

[@remphire]

I really enjoy his editing! It adds some extra uniqueness to the channel.

[@sherryweeks6498]

I thought it was a ok video editing nothing worth getting upset over. Why do people have to complain all the time or make a fuss when they don't like something. Just think to yourself this is not for me a move on. A lot of us love your videos and look forward to them. Glad to be here to hear you vent and talk about your life. We all have struggles and it helps to know you are not alone. Thanks again for the video

[@lborchardt]

I did the timing belt on my car last year. It was definitely a bit stressful. It has an interference engine so if things aren’t lined up properly when you put on the belt things can go sideways fast. Though half of the stress was unscrewing rusty bolts on a northeastern car, which your dad won’t have to worry about.

[@donnalankford8590]

The farting across Florida was definitely your style! I laughed out loud. I listen to trash to cash podcast at work and every once and again I will burst out laughing and people are curious what I am listening to. Paul’s Merch song had me laughing for a few minutes. I like Elijah’s editing . I don’t feel it is over the top at all.

[@RealBoringFlips]

Extra shipping $ refunds are the 3rd rail on youtube reselling channels! I take offers on my listings which reinforces your position even more. I used to do impromptu refunds when I was still using Paypal and accidentally refunded the full amount once. I had no way to message my Buyer outside of eBay but somehow found them on Facebook and they graciously sent the money back. That's when I stopped refunding unless asked or it was a crazy amount over. Great channel Dave!

[@MikeEmig]

Elijah does a great job editing. Made me laugh out loud !

[@krisk4513]

A bunch of questions before the purchase is always a warning sign. I typically block buyers that ask a bunch of questions after I got burned one too many times.

Dave if you get back your top rated status you can then deduct up to 50% of the sales price if you offer 30 day returns in the ad. you loosing that status is why you can’t deduct anything it’s a perk for sellers you keep there performance above standards

[@bethb7965]

[@carolhearn8157]

I love watching you think out loud. It's like therapy to see you work through a problem that could ruin your week or month and put it in perspective.

[@barbarapond1510]

I think it was awesome he did the editing. I knew it was him that edited. I laughed my rear off. people need to just chill out and worry about serious things on life. I will continue to watch, good job Elijah!😁🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩

[@jamachidgey6913]

i loved Eli's editing. It was fun and I loved it

[@trishaaustin8826]

I think it's great that you involve your kids in your work. We can tell the difference of the editing but I think it's great. People should appreciate the content

[@LexiJoFarms]

I wouldn't accept returns on the oh snaps. Unless it's defective and doesn't work and they are stating that. They should not get a refund simply because they didn't like them. That's not your problem lol

[@donnasharer2602]

Agree!

[@anfieldlegend]

nothing wrong with the videos, that your boy has produced. shows good father and son relationship, where he can poke fun at you and vice versa. keep up the good work, both of you.

[@kerryharris7751]

my word i love your rambling….elijah is a refreshing change of pace. 🤣🤣

[@Margot5twofor53Oh]

I totally get it Dave. 7 years ago my husband died of cancer with no life insurance and I had two kids two kids to finish home schooling and a part time job. I started reselling and I drive a 20 year old Honda. Life can be hard but also good. Just keep reminding yourself that life is short, don’t sweat what you can’t control and be grateful to God got what you have. That’s what I do. But I get it. When it rains it pours and sometimes it overwhelms us for awhile.

[@ADHDaveFlips]

Thank you for sharing your story. So sorry for your loss! I appreciate the encouragement!!

Just got home from work and I am going to unwind and watch you wind 😂 🌞☮️ Thanks Dave ! gemeni-dreams

[@lalapoohpooh]

I feel as though some ebay buyers try to do the bait and switch. It happened to me with a recent sale. I was 100% confident the item had no defects and I'm confident in my packing abilities. Buyer claimed it had an imperfection and wanted me to refund. When he was instructed to open a return and ship the item back to me for full refund he stopped responding.

[@prestonharner8207]

Elijah is great at editing! Very creative

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I have had a few returns but what is most infuriating to me is, that the post office lost a ATV helmet and I had to refund and UPS lost a pkg which ere brand new men’s Sperry Shoes. Both of which probably end up getting. Our post office in our area is having a lack of employees and things are taking way longer than normal shipping times. Completely out of my control.

[@Watchme2828]

I am a new seller on E-bay, how is that? e bay will not give you the option to say no on the refund? even after 30days? so when is the cut off on returns? A year? 6-months? never? I do not understand that one. how can sellers stay in business with that policy?

[@westernkythrifters]

Dave I was one of the ones that said to fix your own brakes. I didn't know about you draining you transmission instead of your oil, so yea you should definitely have it done somewhere else.lol and I think your son did a great job, it was funny and at least he was interested in doing it. Kids these days don't want to do anything. And returns SUCK

[@RickInMaryland]

The good thing about replacing your own brake pads is you don't have to resurface or replace the rotors. If you replace the pads as soon as you hear noise, you shouldn't need to do anything to the rotors. I think auto mechanics say the rotors need resurfacing or replacement because it makes them more money.

[@Rosie-kj8eq]

I love the new editing its fun your son has done such a good job hope he continues with it. 😊

[@kelob5463]

If you accept the return on the oh snaps and you get them back not in the condition you sent them ebay is suppose to give the seller the money back! Take pics and start a claim.

[@kelob5463]

@WellnessWizdom If the item is returned used or damaged, you may qualify to deduct an amount from the buyer's refund to cover the loss in the item's value. Sorry I was wrong but this is what it says on the ebay site.

[@ThePickinLawyer]

Sorry to hear about the van Dave. Just remember when things like that happen, it's just a test of your faith. Whenever you get stressed think about everything you have to be grateful about. Our brains are incapable of producing anxiety and being grateful, simultaneously. You have a van cause you needed a vehicle to transport your family and your family = gratefulness. Don't let it get ya down but it's okay to be upset, we are only human.....and it's a long journey. God bless.

[@joannejennings8698]

I just bought something on Ebay and it said, no returns accepted, so must be something you can do when you list the original order that you won't accept returns. might be something to look into. I dont sell on ebay so don't know how it works. But returns are frustrating, for sure.

[@jeanlittle970]

Have you ever figured out how much your free shipping was last year. January 1 this year I started charging shipping, last year my total was over $4000! Yes it was a tax write off but my sales were only a little over $4000, so yup no more free shipping. Love your video, you are so funny! ❤

[@stevedoyle5987]

My mom just had timing belt replaced on an older subaru 2015 or so for 700. It's just a big ol thing you gotta do.

[@ryankennedy6778]

I have been getting a lot of return requests recently as well. Thought I was the only one. Had similar issues with buyers opening up a new product which makes it worthless now and for a buyer claiming the product was missing a part which in messaging they confirmed that they choose the "Missing a part" to get free return

[@angrybirdbob2881]

You can get your money back on the oh snaps. You just file a claim saying you didn’t receive the item back the way you sent it out. I’ve done it plenty of times with items that people use and return

[@happynayar9032]

I had an item sent back, it was worn with belongings in pockets and eBay would not side with me, they gave the buyer a full refund. This was a brand new item with sicker on. They had been removed . Just frustrating.

[@angrybirdbob2881]

@@happynayar9032 I don’t sell clothes for a ton of reasons, so not sure about those. But I’ve probably had 20+ situations like this where eBay always sided with me. It at least works for items new in package like Dave had. Clothing type goods are a different story

[@Lickxmyxkicks]

If you replaced pads you just take the entire bracket off next time which is 2 bolts and the rotors slide off and then put them back on and break them in and youre done

[@webauthor7700]

@ADHDave, I'd reach out to ebay and ask them about this. Bring to their attention that you had told them prior to purchase that it didn't come with that, and ask them to step in on this return. Ask them to look at the messages. I'd call them if possible; not just open a ticket. It's very possible that they will close the return for you. They might pay the person back themselves, but I doubt that you will have to bear the cost.

[@meticulouselectronics]

Ebay won't let you adjust prices on returns if you use too many adjustments prior.

[@Mateo09ist]

I loved Elijah’s editing. Haha was fun to watch. Seems like he was experimenting too which is alright.

[@imjustareseller]

eBay will let you do a partial refund as long as you have buyers remorse as part of your return policy. If a buyer returns it opened you can also refund up to 50% of their total amount. But it has to be on your return policy

I had a bad experience with a super expensive Karaoke singing machine I sold on eBay. It was in near new condition used once.I sold it and 2 months later I got notified of the buyer requesting a return due to it not working. I even filmed a video of it working before it left. On return of the item - both Microphones were broken and the wires on the machine had clearly been cut on multiple places. It was an absolute joke that I.as the seller did not have a leg to stand on. Never sold another item on eBay since.

[@ADHDaveFlips]

I loved it!! And I'm 45. Reminded me of Fya's videos. Great

[@vintage.childhood]

[@chrisf6765]

You have whats called an "interference engine" meaning if the timing belt fails, the valves will go down as the piston comes up and they will interfere with each other (ie: blow up up your engine as you said). Also, its pronounced "Spo-can" not "spo-cane". Sorry about the rash of bad luck, I hope things turn around!

[@Pegrams_Treasures]

Man, let Elijah do his thing. That’s how he will learn. Don’t worry about the haters.
