eBay Shipping Label Address Error, Broken DVD Refunds, and Reseller Updates (Pocket Change)

In this episode of Pocket Change, the hosts discuss recent reseller experiences on eBay, including a new shipping label error that prevents label generation due to an invalid “ship to” address and how to resolve it by messaging the buyer for the correct address and editing it within eBay (warning against shipping outside the platform). They talk through a buyer sending multiple different addresses and the importance of confirming a final address to avoid scams or losses. They also cover a return/refund situation where a DVD arrived cracked; the seller refunds the full amount including shipping and later receives feedback that the problem was resolved satisfactorily. The episode includes weekly feedback highlights, notes about slower listing and sales due to travel and work, a shipment going to Guam that required taking the package inside the post office for scanning, and discussion about offering discounts to active military buyers. They briefly touch on marketplace news such as Etsy funding promotions with 15% off incentives, an Amazon shipping discrepancy story they find confusing, ongoing eBay buying bot activity despite reports of bans, and an eBay auto price reduction feature reportedly disappearing. The hosts mention switching the show schedule to Sundays at 6 to make live episodes easier in the future, including a possible live “pick or pass,” and share light personal updates and technical issues with muting/video during recording.
