You’ll be shocked when you find out what it’s for.

How I feel when I explain what a distributor is.

On darknet markets they use an escrow account and admins act as mediators, so as long as you can show that you have a valid tracking number. The issue becomes when people try to scam you by selling you broken electronics or scam buyers pulling fraud returns. Weirdly this is common with VCRs on eBay. There’s large resellers who buy good VCRs and steal parts out of them and return them. Then they resell on Amazon. I guess it comes back to having a karma system.

The issue in the US with accepting payments on behalf of sellers is that you have to then collect sales tax which is different for every locality. Then you also have to issue tax forms to the sellers for sales over a certain amount. Which leaves us with sellers collecting payments on their own which means using something like PayPal or Bitcoin. You would just have to have people build trust through reviews and hope for the best. You could base the service in a random other country so that you wouldn’t have a bunch of regulations to deal with and leave all the tax stuff up to the buyers and sellers. You’d probably run into issues with accepting credit cards though.

Bald men’s club 👴

At first I had to remove some posts but then I revamped the rules and that really helped. the community has grown into its own thing over time. The most I had to remove was recently due to a spat people were having in the comments. I never have had to ban anyone.

iirc they posted one of the few posts I’ve had to remove from !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world nothing serious, it just wasn’t really appropriate for the com.

They use hundreds of smart phones with data plans.

I do the same with Nintendo DS off of eBay. Almost always just something simple.

You can buy just the game disc on eBay for $4

I know where this is, I hate it.

That thing was absolutely filthy, hopefully cleaning it fixed your issues. Thanks for documenting these kinds of issues for others. It’s something I often try to do when I run into an issue which I couldn’t find answers for.

I landed on fedora. Stable with more frequent updates. If I run a server I usually go with Ubuntu because it has a lot of packages installed already so I don’t have dependency issues with whatever I’m installing and I’m too lazy to install a bunch of packages myself.

That’s where I got it from! I Can’t believe the site exists.

Most likely a poor solder joint.
