No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

If you buy on eBay they are required to send items with tracking. No tracking means you can just ask for a refund and you'll receive it automatically since they can't provide a tracking number. The major carriers also do rate adjustments if the seller tries to underpay for packages by listing the wrong weight. Unfortunately as a seller this also means that you have to watch for erroneous weight adjustments and contest them when they crop up. I think it happens when your package is sitting on top of another package when it goes under the automated photo system.
I've never had an issue with receiving a package from eBay and I buy and sell on there all the time. I had one package I shipped get lost, I had another I sent through eBays international forwarding service (Pitney Bowes) who said they wouldn't forward it because of the materials in the item. It was not listed as a prohibited item and isn't prohibited to ship internationally, I got to keep the money and the buyer got a refund.
My experience on eBay does not match yours. I have numerous times had packages not be delivered with the seller giving false tracking numbers, not responding, outright lying to eBay and as I said, not putting enough postage on the item. At one time there were honest sellers there, but it's been overrun with scams and fraud, including listing the item location as being in a local warehouse, only to discover that this is a drop-ship location that is being fed by container from China.
I no longer use or trust eBay. My experience with eBay vs. PayPal is no better. There was a time when they worked together to resolve issues, but now they just point the finger at each other. I also don't use PayPal any longer.
