  • Episode 43) The wild world of eBay Shipping
    May 23 2024

    Welcome back to Pocket Change, the podcast where two boys navigate the wild world of eBay shipping and selling! This week, Joel and Jefferson are at it again, experiencing all the highs and lows of the online marketplace. Joel is scratching his head as he notices some increased pricing that Jefferson seems to be immune to. Could it be because Jefferson is a top rated seller and Joel is just a lowly peasant in the eBay hierarchy? Oh, the drama!


    But wait, it gets even juicier! Jefferson had not one, but TWO multi sales this week that could not combine because the buyers had two accounts each with zero feedback. Like, what are the odds of that happening? Is eBay just trolling them at this point? And speaking of trolls, is eBay secretly allowing people to buy on guest accounts? The boys are onto something big here.


    And as if all that weren't enough, the boys are starting to wonder if it's time to dip their toes into the Amazon waters. Is eBay going through a slump? Should they jump ship and join the Amazon empire? Find out all this and more on this week's episode of Pocket Change! Tune in for laughs, tears, and questionable online shopping decisions.

  • Episode 42) Breaking The eBay Rules
    May 21 2024

    Welcome back to Pocket Change, the podcast where we discuss all things eBay, questionable job choices, and the eternal struggle of not having enough PTO like Jefferson. Joel is back with his usual wit and charm, lamenting his lack of vacation time while Jefferson gallivants off to some exotic location. But fear not, dear listeners, for Joel has a plan to get his hands on some much-needed time off.


    In this episode, the boys tackle the delicate topic of breaking eBay rules. They remind us all that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, but only if you're willing to risk it all for that one questionable item. They also delve into the mysterious and confusing world of eBay video posting, because who doesn't want to see a shaky video of someone trying to sell a broken toaster?


    But the real question of the day is: how long can you keep a job you're terrible at? Joel and Jefferson ponder this age-old dilemma and share their own experiences of faking it till you make it in the workplace. So grab your pocket change and join us for another hilarious and insightful episode of Pocket Change!
