Opened again recently and orders have been good, more than enough orders without
feedback to get me there.

When you do go purple, celebrate with some music, old school
My son's girlfriend just bought the Prince LP over the weekend during our
visit. Fun listening to vinyl again
It'll be fun to see your veteran profile ID card with the purple brick.

Same here. You get, what is it, about 6 weeks to pay it so there really shouldn't
be any excuse to missing it. Especially if going away, paying it before leaving
is sensible. You don't have to remember once you are back.
|
One feature that might be helpful here is the ability to pre-pay fees.

AutoPay set-up, as available with most other services today, might be nice too

Many sites have automated billing yes,

|
More payment methods with less fees? Not something to argue with Though still
trying to understand "bring more revenue for them" Who's them,
and how would it do that for them?
|
Much more... with the extra planning development test deployment accounting costs
to save say 2% of 3%... they may start to save money in 5 or 10 years maybe?
|
Interesting. Thanks

| | Hello there! When setting up shipping, does the weight margin apply to just the

weight is 1oz and the items purchased totals 5oz, would a 10% weight margin apply
to 5oz or 6oz?

IMHO

Not opinion (humble of otherwise) But rather to your knowledge, being
more empirical

The base weight you *know* it, so you provide your exact number (with or without
a margin or an average).

My store has been suspended for non-payment of fees. I was away and missed the
deadline (stupid I know!). Payment has now been made.
Anyone know how long it takes to re-open? I have contacted the helpdesk but no

again!
Many thanks,

We are currently closing up to hit order No 25 miljon! What a ride and what a
great achievement from all you members - seller and buyers!
So as a number nerd - if the 25th million order happens to be placed at my store
I will refund all cost and ship it for free anywhere in the world! This offer
limits to an order value of maximum 200 $ or 200 €.
And also - if your store gets it and you post proof in this thread I will give
you 50 % off on an order for you too - up to order value of 200 $/€.
So, what day will it happen? Any day next week?
Also fun to hear if any have had any special order numbers in the past. I don't

I once got 3 orders in consecutive numerical order once. They all came in within
