USPS Updates: Thanks for sharing the news. Not real big changes there, unless you live in Montana, of course. We also live in a rural community (Washington state), so use the Post Office routinely with curbside pick-up by our carrier. So my biggest issue relates to my substitute carriers, who often fail to do the pick-up consistently, especially when there is snow on the ground.. But since I have 3 day handling (again because of the rural area) that isn't too big a deal, my regular carrier just picks it up the next day, when she's back at work. One interesting concept about rural areas is that we do not have an actual FedEx or UPS office in our town (or the next one over), but do have a Franchise (like the old Mail Boxes, etc) that accepts packages, so if the temp carrier blows off a pick-up and I really need it to go, I skip the line at the Post Office and drop packages with the Franchise operation. Another challenge for rural areas is when I get a buyer who wants to pay extra to be upgraded to overnight delivery and I always advise against it, since they are wasting their money. Our rural system pretty much treats all packages the same, until they get to the regional hub and names like "Express" and "Overnight" are really just PR hype. I have been a big fan of Ground Advantage. It has saved me many trips to the Franchise this year, for what I used to ship via FedEx and have had only a few (but always interesting) delivery issues as they cut over the system. I have also been shipping more items listed as Media Rate, out Ground Advantage as I purchase shipping. Had 1 this week that only had a 6 cent difference, so it got upgraded.

eBay Changes: Always interesting (but not surprising) that eBay gives such short notice, when they make changes to how they handle your money. As you say, it's their sandbox and they get to say who gets handed a shiny new shovel and who gets stuck with a pail of old sand!

Shit. I’m in Montana. Hope this doesn’t mess with my lightning fast shipping

[@GalaxyCDSRocks]

Keep us posted, I'd definitely like to know if people see a difference

Everyone: There is no evidence that this will ever sell. Ryan: Hold my beer (or pop LOL) 😆 Interesting the book from Middletown sold so quickly, that is where J.D. Vance is from, so they are getting a little more attention! Great episode as always, thanks for sharing!

[@GalaxyCDSRocks]

Definitely a beer and not a pop! 🤣 Thanks!

[@PdiddytTube]

last week was a pretty good week .. I actually sold more thing on mercari over the weekend than ebay, that is probably a first

[@GalaxyCDSRocks]

Hopefully it was because Mercari was rocking not because eBay was dead!
