I like Mercari for the ease of listing items too. I also love the 72-hour rule. Nothing worse than having a buyer return an item weeks later. Also, you can leave your earnings in your Mercari account to make purchases of your own. As a casual buyer and seller, Mercari is really all I use at this point.

Ebay is clunky, and even though I’ve sold on eBay since 2003, they sporadically hold funds after a sale for a single neutral or negative review (despite my account being 20 years old).

Perhaps you’re conflating the $70 in rewards with their Lifetime Savings total? This figure is derived by COS including price comparison differences, coupon savings, and Shopping rewards into a single (large) figure.

Your available rewards are reflective of how much you can exchange for a gift card once the proper threshold is met.

Thank you for your input and insight Mr. Ben!

Dosh uses one of the most popular financial services in the US, Plaid. The service is a data transfer network that can match payments at institutions that you make through the app! (No need to scan your bank statement).

Just gift cards, unfortunately!

Hey Mary!

I have sold to just about every country in the world at some point or another, so long as it is not currently sanctioned by government figures. Ebay’s Global Shipping Program takes care of everything automatically — all you have to do is ship to their international shipping center and they’ll take care of collecting taxes, duties, VAT, and anything else that needs to be collected. Easy peasy!

We definitely get your concern — but buying dips in the market through dollar cost averaging (what you’re automatically doing) has paid off handsomely for investors for nearly 100 years now. Down markets and the short-term losses that accompany them can be frustrating, but when the market turns around, you’ll have accumulated a diversified portfolio of shares poised to make considerable gains.

The 3-month trial is a non-expiring offer (and is still available as of today). That said, once you’ve taken advantage of the offer, it doesn’t reappear. (It’s just a one-time trial to help you decide whether or not Spotify Premium is right for you).

You don’t need to have a personal credit card on file in order to redeem points for rewards/gift cards. The only time you’ll need to provide one is if you’d like to take advantage of local deals.
