Bonanza advertises no listing fees and says they only take a cut of 3.5%. Mercari takes 10%. I'm wondering how Bonanza can take so little and if there's any catch or hidden fees they're not mentioning?

I've tried updating, and I think I've tried restarting, but I haven't restarted since updating, so it's worth a try!

Well, I did get a reply, a very nice one, and it looks like it came yesterday! I wish Mercari's notification system was better. No matter how I check, I often find that messages were sent hours before I can even see them!

So I love Mercari's Pay in 4 offerings. They enable me to get so much more than I could before. I do not like Zip's merchant fees adding $3 or $4 to the purchases, but I put up with it if I need to use Pay in 4. I like PayPal's even better because it doesn't add extra charges. I tried to purchase something with PayPal's Pay Later because it was listed as an option, but instead it charged me the full amount all at once. I couldn't do that, so I had to request a cancellation and explained why. It probably sounded really weird, as the price of the item wasn't that high and normally it wouldn't have been a problem to drop the whole amount at once, but right now it's not an option. But the seller agreed to the cancellation. They did not, however, actually respond to my messages. I don't know whether they think I'm a complete weirdo and they do not want me to repurchase the item with Zip as I said I'd do or if they figured I just would and that's why they didn't respond. I sent a message to ask if they still wanted to do business and haven't heard back. I don't know whether I should do nothing and keep waiting or go ahead with the repurchase using Zip. It could just be that it's the weekend, but it was the weekend yesterday and they let the cancellation go through while not responding then either.

Oh sweet. So if I'm preparing a listing on Mercari, it will tell me how much I'll make before the listing goes live?

What is the best site for selling? I know there have been some problems with eBay, and I think Mercari wants a huge cut of the profits? Which site between them or someplace else would be the best for a new seller who reaaaally can't afford losing a big chunk of money to the listing site for listing and selling fees?

I am so frustrated that most of the BAB Pokemon are online exclusives with mandatory clothes bundles. It's expensive, galling, and I really have no interest in clothing Pokemon, lol. But it's the only way to get most of them. So I'm wondering, if I got one, would I have any hope of re-selling the clothes on eBay or other sites to recover some of the money spent? I don't know if people ever buy the clothes when someone sells them separately.

I don't think so. The heads really look big in the first release, but it's not as noticeable when they're clothed.

So I badly want a doll of a favorite character, and I think I could customize a Disney Descendants Jay into what I want with little trouble. But ... it looks like the lowest priced dolls on eBay are disproportionate, bigger head and upper body than lower body. Is it just the camera angle, or is it true? Does anyone have a list of the Jay releases and/or know which ones are better proportioned, if some aren't?

Yes, they are. It's a frustrating situation, because it's in a lot of two, and both are ones I really want for a project, and with one of them it's either get this lot, or wait a week on an auction I might not be able to win anyway, or buy something way more expensive than I wanted to pay. I was all set to get these and then noticed the mismatch on the other one in the lot. So now I'm not sure what to do!

Yeah, that's my concern, that it's a plastic breakdown and the figure might wear out sooner than it would otherwise. It's a G.I. Joe from the early 00s, I think. Hasbro made those as well as the Ponies, so I thought maybe the explanation would be the same for both. I've seen pictures of the figure mint and there is little to no discolorization, but this used one has it very badly.

I know this topic has been had before, but I never paid attention because I never wanted to buy a mismatch. But now the situation has come up, so I'm wondering exactly what causes the head and body of a Pony or figure or whatnot to be different colors? Is it a factory thing, or does it happen with age? If the head is much darker than the body, and it's definitely the head that's the wrong color, has the head aged badly and will deteriorate quicker?

Probably a long shot, but does anybody collect Soldiers of the World?! I really need to see them standing alongside some 12 inch G. I. Joes, to see if they're perfectly in scale with them. And I'm also trying to find out if the figure Korean War U.S.A. Radioman has hair under his helmet or if he's bald/balding. I'm considering him for a customization project, but it won't work if he doesn't have hair under there....

Has anyone done this? Or might know if it can be done? I hear it's flocking material, and of course a lot of us have experience with flocking. I want to buy the G.I. Joe figure from the Challenge at Hawk River release and customize him into a favorite character, but I'm not sure whether to get the Caucasian with brown hair and paint his skin tan or get the African-American and try to lighten his hair.
