    I want to tell you about 7 years ago, and for the record I own a cleaning company in Naples Florida - I would order online products & supplies from Home Depot! I would send the employee to pick up their stuff - This née employee I hired, she picked up her stuff from Naples - drove it 45 minutes over yo Ft Myers and took it into another Home Depot for a refund!!! 45 minutes later !!! This was 7 years ago - they issued her a store credit due to no receipt - do you know that Home Depot encrypts their scan labels hello? And I was instantly messaged by Home Depot that the products she was refunded for were items I purchased thanks to their encrypted scan system and I fired her charged her for the loss on her last check
    Don’t mess with Home Depot

    I have some vintage furniture I have been meaning to post, but have been putting it off as I would have to have it picked up. I sell on eBay full time and like most sellers deal with the occasional weirdo. After a couple purchases from a buyer I started to get some pretty strange messages. Mainly asking me to put the items on and send photos. I found this weird since I don’t generally model my own wears and I usually photograph on a dress form. I ended up blocking, flagging, and reporting all the strange messages and then turned to google and some other sources. I found out he had a criminal record and registered SO.

    I bought a truckload of Dewalt tools years ago in a Home Depot parking lot off of Craigslist ad. I asked where the seller got the merchandise and was sold older model discounted items. Made sense. They would make a profit and so would I. 6 months after the items sold on Ebay I got a call from an insurance company claiming the items were stolen and they had paid out a claim on these items. They had the serial numbers. I provided a picture of the seller and their license plate number and never heard from anyone else. I expected to have to pay the cost of the item.

    Generally good advice, but dang, given that 7 out of 10 Facebook Flakes never bother to show up or communicate, I only have people meet me at my house or my storage unit...preferably my house. That way I can keep working and don't lose time and money driving somewhere for the inevitable no-show. Granted, I'm in a good area, but I really consider this a "scared to fly" situation. Yes, airplanes crash, but they are overwhelmingly safe to travel on. Likewise, people buying from you (those who show up!) are generally good people and it's really, really rare to run into trouble.

    ORC is a tough game to play. Spent 10 years battling it at a large Central FL employer. Mostly, the company saw it as acceptable loss. Takes a lot of resources, espcially when your locations are super spread out. Throw in the varying State Attorneys who sometimes prosecuted, sometimes didn't and it is tough to be aggressive as a corporation.

    Here is a scam for sellers to beware of with glassware. My friend sold ( very quickly ) a very expensive plate ( 150.00 ) and packed it very well and shipped it. A few days later the buyer wrote and said he wanted his money back and said that the plate came broken. He sent her pictures. I believe he already had a broken plate and used that to trick her into returning his money. He probably either resold the plate or he kept it for his personal collection. No telling how he aquired his collection. Probably all free by using that trick.

    I have a question. I just want to sell some things around my house I no longer use and if I like doing ebay I might continue. I'm going to open a separate account at the bank just for that. My question is can I use a debit card from that new account or is it hackable thru eBay? If I use one of my credit cards I won't have access to the cash if I need it, but it would be protected. Thank You. Love your home, but not the gators. P.S I might need the cash for a new apartment lease that's why I didn't want to use a credit card. Thanks in advance.

    Our local meth heads had a good scam going on for a while. They were stealing peoples yard tools, porch sets, pool equipment. Then go to the local buyer, they would pay them pennies for the items. The buyer would sell the items the stuff in his small local shop. It worked for a year, until the store got known for having really good prices for cheap stuff. They all eventually got caught by trying to sell the stolen stuff back to the people they store it from.

  • @DeviaNZe
    @DeviaNZe Рік тому +2

    It's easy to catch these types of sellers. For example, they receive a 1099 from Ebay for each store. Each 1099 must be reported in your local Taxes, there the first error, in the Taxes of your state it appears when buying merchandise with your Sales Tax ID, if your Sales Tax ID does not have reports of having purchased merchandise or inventory, there the first suspicion, the Comptroller reports that to your state's attorney general and that's how an investigation begins.
    For example, every time I bought merchandise I have a record in my bank account of that merchandise that I bought because it is linked to the Sales Tax ID, every year I receive a 1099 form that I have to include in my franchise report, all the purchases of merchandise that I did for resale, and that document is what thieves cannot verify.
