The Disgruntled Octopus
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2020
The Disgruntled Octopus has since held a long (and most likely, an unhealthy) fascination with world domination, annoying humans and words containing the phrase 'Octo'. When not occupying his time with his fruitless world domination aspirations, the Octopus spends his time selling sunken treasures and making sub-par social media content about it.

eBay Sellers - Should we be made to accept returns on eBay?
Still haven't found the book, I've relegated to be a bad seller - but should eBay force us to take returns on pre owned items?

Why don't U try hand sanitizer to get the tape off
You sound like my cousin...hmmmmmmm
@thedisgruntledoctopus lol, ur cousin sounds like an intelligent person.
I think why people misunderstood u and GG about Tekken sport was that you are fence sitters. Tip toe around and most people are sheeple and come up with their own conclusion. You being in the military, you know what your comrades would tell you to do.
@@theaussienurseflipper.8113 hahahaha I can guarantee it wasn’t that ;)
You get 250000 listings a month, in Australia even if you don't have a store. There's a few studies on the keto diet lowering blood pressure. There's gonna be two studies this year on the keto diet affecting ADHD. There been one small study done which had good results. Dr Eda wrote an interesting book about mental health and the keto diet. Cheers Graham
You hate clothing? Really?!? Haha, yes everything else I sell is generally easier to process, it's just a learning curve. And I know we don't get snow generally but warm all year round? Last winter was so cold moving's still not out of the question!
You laugh like Elon.
I wish I was as rich as him...
Salem is a star. Even though you hypnotized him. I still have 100% feedback but my world wont crash if i get a negative. Ill respond to it and thats it. Any reasonable person reading reviews should feel safe buying my item. And if they are bothered by a negative i absolutely dont want them. I came to this realization after many years. Stupid humans have all manner of quirks. Its not my job to sooth them. Im exceedingly kind in my messaging and quite obsessive in photos and packing. Thats enough. Im not a fan of death piles either but i do have a stash of extreme bolos in case i fall below standard. As u said in previous video, if your item is that desirable it will sell quickly even if ebay hates your guts.
Hahaha I think I'd have less scars if I knew how to hypnotize him. I don't think its really glamorised anymore but there was a big push for deathpiles for a while.
I reckon if ebay wants us to accept a return, they should foot the bill for the postage both ways. But then they would probably just up the fees to cover it. Bit of a grey area. Love seeing you hold Salem. Only one of mine lets me hold him like that, but for a very limited time.
Hahaha lots of lots of training hahaha. He will let me and Olivia hold him like that, but he normally just plops if the others get to close to him for a scratch.
buy my skylanders already
I haven't forgotten about you haha
no problem with using the word perspective...it's the context ;)
I just sold a high value game and I'm hoping now it's not a 'rental'
Hopefully not, I don't think it's ass common as I made it out to be - but it definitely happens!
That Halloween decoration is so calm.
Hahaha it's a ploy ;)
ADHD
I think the amount you say perspective is funny. I've watched heaps of your videos, but never commented until the last one. maybe the haters could start a drinking game and have a shot every time you say it. then they might loosen up.
It drives my wife insane - as she has to listen to it when I'm in the garage haha. I'll have to find a new word to annoy them with ;)
Salem is a beauty. Rescues are the best. As a continual cat servant 50+ years, all my cats & dogs have come from shelters or walk up strays. Had one that was 1/2 feral, he should have been named Belzabulb.
Hahaha had a beagle named Lucifer, I think Salem should have been his successor. ;)
❤❤❤
Forgot the haters, it’s your video your rules 😂
I loathe everyone equally ;)
A couple of years back I sold a sealed Playstation 1 game to a buyer in Britain. Sale vent through and I thought nothing of it and then out of the blue I got a message from another seller telling me the buyer would open an "Item not as described" return request one day before the time limit and sure enough that happened. He had been in dialogue with other sellers from my understanding, so it was clearly a habitual offender. So there I was, a seller based in Norway having to figure out how to use the UK Royal mail to buy a return shipping label for said shady customer which I figured out after spending a good amount of time. When I eventually received the return the case was cracked because the buyer had not used proper packaging materials. I think he ran some sort of arbitrage business, just buying loads of sealed games, putting them up for sale instantly on a different platform when he received the games and then attempting on making a profit and if that failed he could just open a return request.. it is essentially risk free on his part. I am sure he got to keep a few games as well because not everybody are able to figure out the ins and outs of foreign nations postal services. Considering how difficult this process is for international sellers where we don't have access to the global shipping program it made me reconsider selling to that particular demographic as it is not the first unpleasant experience with video game collectors. And yes, people who are overly inquisitive are almost always problematic.
No Returns always on everything I sell. Has never hurt my sales and I have given refunds to people who are honest as to why. Let your reviews speak for your store. eBay just throws sellers right under the bus. Your spot on about eBay and their policies.
Today's video actually piggybacks directly off your comment ;)
house mate sold a $250 part got sent a completely different one back... but the buyer had sent a package, they completed their obligation and got a refund. Online selling is rife with scammers these days.
Fingernail polish remover does a good job to take sticky goo off. I've used it before to get the lead goo off me after tests. I've had 3 or 4 sleep studies over time. Here in the states, the Navy is notorious for swearing. "Cuss like a sailor" has been a phrase in common use for several generations, along with references "like a sailor on a 3-day drunk". You know it's bad when someone says their language "would make a sailor blush" I grew up in a town that had a Strategic Air Force Base-B52 Bomber Wing. Many school friends and church members stationed or retired there. I have a love for the military and military families.
I was expecting to see your face on a Build A Bear. 😂
Hahaha they wouldn't sell - even I don't want to see Minion J...
I’ve turned queries off now, don’t care, it works better and sales seem to have increased 🤷🏻… Anyone asking a million questions can’t afford the item. The best buyers buy & pay straight away.
Agree - I've actually spoken about this before. It may sound harsh, but I want to sell to rich people not poor people. My $1k+ items that I've sold have never had an issue - they buy and I never hear from them again, the $5 free shipping items...
Get to the point quicker. Won’t be watching your videos anymore. Crap.
This isn't an airport - you don't need to announce your departure
Valid point tho
Try watching the Frankston Flipper. Didn’t waffle on to get his watch time to, gets to the point, doesn’t talk about making revenue and is a pretty handsome guy
Stupid questions = blocked, try to bargain postage = blocked,
100078% getting that way with me haha. It's normally the niches that I really don't delve into that brings the biggest issues.
I've never lost an item (sometimes I have to hunt a bit) but had to cancel a sale when I noticed a stain on a blouse that I'd missed so I decided to spot treat last minute and it went so badly wrong and I completely destroyed it... Fortunately the buyer was relatively understanding!
Hahhaha I just blame eBay screwing with my inventory ;) I loathe clothes for that exact reason haha.
The number of times I've not been able to find an item in its noted SKU... Usually it turns up actually there, but I was thinking it looked completely different and I kept missing it! 🤓
I hope that's how it plays out - not looking good so far haha.
Are you drinking instant coffee?
Hahaha yep - I really can’t taste the difference between good and bad coffee.
I used to think caffeine doesn't affect me sleep too... but then when I tried not drinking it after 3pm it still made a huge difference. Give it a try brother.
I'm off caffeine from about 9/10am (I have 2 coffees in the morning). To be honest, I really haven't found a difference between the 2 - maybe I've just forgotten haha.
Octo is the only reseller in the world that can leave negative feedback for buyers and we all appreciate his dedication and fight for the reseller brotherhood against mutant buyers :)))))))))))))))))))))))

Cooking oil or baby oil for tape residue on skin. Not scrubbing
Never thought of that - thanks!
I learnt that lesson after my daughter decided she was a parcel and slapped a postage label on her leg. It can work well on hard plastics too
@@TheRecycledRack nice, sounds like my youngest haha
Just last week i sold an item and had trouble finding it. I am normally very organised but i just moved house and had to look practically everywhere until I found it.
That's exactly what I'm going to do. I know it's here somewhere. I've probably placed it in a temp place whilst I was listing the others.
I never realised build a bear was popular and had some highly sought after items until I started watching a US reseller who shares BOLOs. I wouldn't know one if I saw one in an op shop. I recently won a $50 voucher for their online store in a raffle and I have no idea what to purchase with it. It would be have something to resell as I have no interest (even though I'm a doll/toy/Lego collector myself).
I normally find them at Salvos for $2-3 (along with Squishmallows). One of the best hauls I have from an Op Shop was all the build a bear Eevee evolutions for $5ea. I would keep the $50 voucher and just keep an eye out for a frenzy in the FB groups - that's what put me on to Kuromi ;)
@@thedisgruntledoctopus thanks for the tips
Best viewed in 2x fast forward mode
8x is even better ;)
I've only ever had to cancel 1 transaction because i somehow photoed and listed the same item twice. Every other time ive lost something, ive torn the house apart looking until i find it.
Have you checked the box behind you? I thought maybe you showed it to the audience and just randomly dumped it behind you and maybe stacked stuff on top. I do silly things like that. Yes I am surprised people pay that much for a shadow plush considering we are apparently in a cost of living crisis 😂
That’s probably the only place I haven’t looked haha. Shadows ROI is off the charts hahs

@ North, just outside of Gunghalin :)
Hello I'd like to rent that game please
You and I both!
eBay has a stupid time frame on return's. Something we have to deal with as sellers. Cost of doing business is what I say! 🤠
Agreed, it’s just something that I’ve noticed in the last week
Ebay return policy is way too long.
I agree, I remember when it was 0, 7 and 28 days (I think 14 was in there as well). They really need to remove 60 days for 2nd hand goods.
@@thedisgruntledoctopus People tend to abuse the system when allowed an extensive return period. My thoughts 🤔🤠
@ 100%
Haven't had anyone ask about returns before or during purchase. Good red flag to look out for. Only return I've had was someone saying the copy of Pokemon Snap for Nintendo 64 I sold them didn't work. Tried to troubleshoot with them but they said they couldn't get it working. Booted up first go when i got it back (and it was tested before sending out too.)
Probably tried playing it on a PS2 ;)
I’m the same way in my ability to drink coffee at any time of day. I once looked into it and apparently scientists discovered that it’s not just based on tolerance but there is also a specific gene that causes some people to be able to metabolize caffeine much more quickly than others. Explains why it’s no biggie to us and also why others can’t relate!
Ah nice! Didn’t know that! It’s annoying when energy drinks do nothing
You say that, but I bet you have lived on caffeine everyday since your teens and have no basis for how you might sleep and feel without it.
I feel "cleaner" - not sure how to describe it - when I stopped drinking Pepsi Max, only have 2x coffee hits a day but I'll eventually cut that out over the course of the year. I am finding that I do get tired quicker at night (around 10pm).
@@jakecooper5855 I don’t know if this is directed at me, but no that characterization doesn’t apply. I might also clarify that I don’t drink Coke or any kind of energy drinks and never have. I just drink coffee and the occasional espresso and it’s rare I would have one less than like two hours before bed. There is actual science behind this though, just google the CYP1A2 gene if you’re interested
Coke and coffee puts you to sleep. Adhd brother 😂
Probably caught it off you ;)
Caffeine doesn't affect many ADHD'ers - my hubby being one. He's the same, can have a short black and go to sleep 10 mins later. Also, Coke (and soft drink in general) consumption is also linked to ADHD in that it's a sensory seeking thing for us. I also drink Coke a fair bit and my specialist said that it's not uncommon for us to go for carbonated drinks as part of our sensory seeking and to get that dopamine hit :D
Oh and high BP can be from the stim meds. I ended up with high BP about a year after starting meds (plus genetics aren't on my side either haha).
I'm still learning all about it (my younger brother was diagnosed around the same time as I was - both unaware of each other being tested). I get my hit from annoying my coworkers now :)
Mine was high before the meds, hence the BP medicine - they're just trying to see if there is an underlying cause - but most likely genetics as well :)
All my negatives and complaints on my trading card sales have been on the cheap worthless cards, never on the expensive ones.
Never had any negative feedback on the Skylanders, primarily due to the demographic that I sell to, but it's always the cheap Funko & LEGO sets - that's primarily why I only do LEGO Polybags now. I've only sold a few trading cards (I pulled a couple of Fat Pikachu when VV first released) but never had an issue due to the high price, I'd have nightmares doing cards.
Does Australia put corn syrup in soft drinks? Good for you giving them up. I look at buyers feedback left for others before I block for trigger questions. I prefer to use my spidey sense instead of blanket blocking because i want to build return customers so i take a few extra moments to consider. Maybe Salem could do a video when youre too tired?
Just sugar here, I don't normally instant block unless I check the feedback as well. There was a few questions that should have triggered me with the game though... I think Salem would be more intent putting a pillow over my head ;)
