Can you tell eBay you want to charge the buyer the discounted shipping rate and not the retail rate?

Slap me silly because I just realized that when I set my listings to charge shipping based on where the buyer lives they use the retail cost of postage, not the discounted rate we get through eBay or Pirate Ship, etc.

I have some items that are 2 oz when packed in a bubble mailer (too thick for an envelope) and it wants to charge someone in my same ZIP code almost $8 shipping, when it would cost me $5-ish. I was wondering wtf I haven't sold any of these in months when they used to be a top seller. The last couple of postage increases have really done a number on me.

Brightspeed fiber C4000XG router with a wifi extender

The fiber service comes into the house in the back corner and my office is in the complete opposite corner on the first floor. The upstairs is also the furthest away it could be. I added a TP-Link wifi extender which has been sufficient. But I am setting up some devices that are using the extender's wifi and I want to use DHCP reservation on the C4000XG. The IPs of the devices connected to the wifi extender are not being properly reserved. The C4000XG either lets me reserve them or gives an error that the address is already in use. Even when it does the reservation the device pulls a different IP when rebooted, not the one I reserved. I believe this is due to the extender. So I go into the router's client list to see what the router thinks the MAC addresses are but the client list doesn't give me the IP address or the MAC of any device connected to wifi. The MAC addresses I am entering in the router are coming from an app, Advanced IP Scanner. I've read that those MAC addresses may not be the right ones.

Is there a way to get this to work correctly?

I called a few weeks ago and asked them to please shut down the account with this specific email address. They said they would forward it to the fraud dept but said they could not tell me anything more. I am still getting notices about payments received and receipts, etc.

I believe this is the main reason why I got banned because I am fairly certain this person is involved in bad things. They said they would look into that as well. But they said they would not get back to me, that if my account were to be reinstated they would email me. No contact means no reinstatement.

What should I do about this person using my email address?

UPDATE: Tried chatting with support. They don't care. They told me not to worry since it's not me. WTF are they smoking? And we wonder why scammers love Paypal.

I'll be honest, I never thought to check the undersides and back of them. I move them whenever the shower is cleaned but they never get cleaned. They are the angled ones very popular on AMZ. What's a better option? I also have the flatter silicon ones that have very little angle but I noticed those don't secure the soap bars very well and the liquid tends to pool.

I was away for a couple days and came back to find almost half of my tiny miners not connecting to the pool. Site says systems are operational so not sure what's going on yet.

SOLVED: I wonder if the power blipped while I was away, I had to reboot all of my network equipment and now I am back with all miners. Strange that some were still plugging away and others could not connect.

I've been reading through many of the posts here but wanted to see if there was something that could address my specific question.

When I made something that has a substantial amount of top surface area, something like a 4x6 rectangle with just a few small pieces within that space, the top surface has very visible lines and if I change the viewing angle of the object you can see what appears to be areas that are shaded differently. The item did not warp, the bottom is very nice and smooth. I use what I think are the defaults in the slicer for all of the quality and speed settings. I typically do 5 top layers and 2 walls. Monotonic Line top surface pattern, rectilinear internal solid infill pattern and sparse infill pattern. Speed settings are the default for the .20mm Standard A1 profile.

I've had this printer for about a month but have been printing for 6-7 years and don't recall this being so noticeable on other printers. Thanks for your tips and suggestions!

I think I have the slicer configured correctly but when I slice it does not show me a prime tower.

Object 1 is a 2-color object and I want to switch colors at a specific height. Object 2 is a solid color object. When I sliced the plate it would not let me go to a specific height in the slider bar and change colors so I used the painting tool to change the color on the raised text portion of object 1. It seems to correctly detect that the text was raised and when I preview it definitely changes colors at the correct location. Should I see a prime tower in the preview?

I know the miner.htm page shows an estimated payout amount and says that it might vary but how much should/could it vary by?

And is there a chance you might extend the "your pool share amount" out another decimal place lol? Or do something different? I have dropped all the way to 0.00% and I was about to leave thinking I wouldn't be getting anything anymore for some reason.

I've started using the new multi-pool dashboard, really cool! Yesterday I had it up and clicked into the main DGB dashboard and got a pop-up that a block was found. I clicked it and it said it was found on April 21. From what I can gather, I am not the finder but possibly I contributed? Looking at payouts from yesterday, if they would have been made already, there is one that stands out (.84 vs .07 like they have mostly been lately). The pop-up is now gone. Can you explain what that was about?
