Thanks for the download link , very impressive report. this shows that quasar is really using this method because he is so passionate about this.
With regards to having amazon printed on the box to be delivered to customers, my take if the good delivered is in good quality and at the specifications the customer requires , then i am 100% sure that there be no complains. It just shows that the seller is a resourceful guy. But it would help if you apply the pre emptive strike method of quasar, it makes the whole thing bullet proof.
This might be the longest reply i have in this forum . Very impressive quasar, very impressive.
i just hope i can add value to this forum than just going around here.
Wow christophergrapes!
I am blushing. Thanks for taking the time to post. BBHF needs more of your eloquence and, to encourage you to post more, I gave you +5 reps - I have only given +5 one other time. It just was not right for you to be at zero reps!
Thanks for the kind words too! Ebay is not my primary business, but I have done it for a long time as a way to see what John Q. Public was thinking. As I have mentioned, I outsource most of this, but carefully trained the people I have to conduct themselves as I would.
But intelligence about the man/woman on the street is priceless. Ebay makes me a lot better copywriter and marketing consultant.
Admittedly, I peek in often at Ebay because I have always been the curious sort. My main gig for over 35 years has been copywriting. It is my first love and, even though I am actually semi-retired, I maintain a few clients that won't let me go. Of course, this is a nice problem to have.
Over the course of my career, I estimate my copy has been directly responsible for over $500 million in consumer sales. So I know a few things about human nature, conversions, marketing, etc.
Ebay doesn't seem like a fit until you put the fact that I am a copywriter together with selling goods on one of the top ten e-commerce websites in the world. When you put those two together, it hopefully makes sense. It is sort of like putting a T-Rex in with the sheep (a la Jurassic Park - the movie if you remember).
Now I do lots of stuff because the projects interest me - and few strictly because of money. I also create products of all kinds and do Kindle, which has proven to be profitable so far.
And yes - if you aren't passionate about the things you do, life is too short to be doing them. You are better off being your own man or woman and failing at 100 things you are passionate about. So I love the things I am involved with.
We only come this way one time. If you wasted the day today - you can never get it back.
So thanks again!
Back to the knitting ...
Everyone should have gotten the PM with the link by now. If not, PM me your email address.
After my last post, as you may have guessed, I don't like unanswered questions. I might decide to use Rakuten.com (formerly buy.com) for arbitrage tomorrow, so I wrote their customer service team.
All it takes is writing to these people and getting your own answers folks. It took them about one-hour to send me the following personal response about gift receipts:
"Thank you for contacting Rakuten.com Shopping!
I am glad you are interested in shopping with us. The recipient will receive the package along with the packing list only. Your official invoice can be printed online for your convenience.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you.
Sincerely,
Mark | Customer Support
Rakuten.com Shopping"
So there is your answer about Rakuten.com (buy.com). Most answers are an email or phone call away guys.
And I don't know if any of you have given it any thought, but since you are buying stuff from sites that almost exclusively sell to customers - they bend over backwards to take care of you!
Many wholesalers couldn't give a d*mn - especially since your orders appear small-time to them!
Food for thought!
Later guys!
