    DOWN PAYMENT

    I tell people anything over 50.00, half down required. Never have a problem with that. If they cant afford 25.00 down even, then don't cut/print until then. Ive cut smaller jobs, and they have backed out, but never that big of a loss.. it sucks. most of us have been there at one time or another.

    New Malware Virus

    wow. yes backup backup backup. i would just mail them a box of dog shi* i fix alot of peoples laptops at work 1 guy got hit 3 times with that ransomware virus that just locks your pc out. thats an easy fix. but i bet he will have this problem soon. older guy..he surfs alot of .... "adult Sites" i keep telling him it will keep happening. ( or your gonna go blind ) one of the 2 is gonna happen lol
  6. First off let me say my feedback is 100% nothing bad at all ever not 1 unhappy customer Even had return customers. So i get an email from ebay saying that My business ethic is not up to par with them ( to make a long story short ) so i wasn't able to sell anymore. So i call them.. and asked whats up. they looked it over, and they said because supposedly: 1. I am selling decals UNDER retail value..... I told them i cannot sell a 6" of vinyl for 20.00. no matter what the decal is... it goes by how much vinyl is used how many layers. etc etc.they said Ok, they understand. 2. They think I am using a drop shipper. ( I guess what that means is, The buyer pays me, and I send it to the warehouse to get sent out ) I told them hell no. I cut all my own decals. i buy my own vinyl ( and told them ,look you can see I have bought vinyl on ebay ) and have my own cutter and heat press. Everything I cut is shipped right from my house. they can see this. The guy said he can see all this and that i am an outstanding member of ebay and sees no reason why this is happening. He said this is an automated thing on ebay. So he put in for a reinstatement for me to sell again. There is nothing illegal that I am doing at all on ebay and he knows this. so he had to send this "upstairs" and got me back selling again. But i just dont think ebay is really worth the trouble anymore. in the past year i sat down and figured this out. I payed close to 300.00 in ebay fees and paypal fees all togather and really didnt make alot. so I think im about done with ebay. I make more outside of ebay and less of a hassle and on my own terms.
  7. yea i called today again on an update. the guy told me the same BS. I am a risk to the ebay community. I asked him why the hell is there people out there with 3 00 or 400 negitive feedback score about super slow shipping, bad items, etc etc, and there still selling like mad on ebay...he couldnt answer it, and just said this is why i was shut down. I hung up on him. But this is america land of the free ( if your not american ) I should be used to it by now. Oh well life goes on without ebay. Its not the end of the world that's for sure.
  8. So I bought a 1995 olds 88. rebult trans exellent engine brand new shocks, gets about 30 mpg. great car. My wife borrowed had to use my car because her alternator went out. I get a call at work from her... she left gas station parking lot and turned,, heared a klunk , everything seemed fine.. she kept going. got to school parking lot.. went inside, then back out and got in to leave.. started backing out.. heared another loud ass klunk and now the steering wheel just spins and spins while she was sitting in a parking lot. car wont move. So i call to have it towed home. I get home and look at it. and the whole rear of the subframe dropped. the front is still up but looking at it dont know what is even holding it up. Found out the subframe bushings rotted out. this is my daily driver i pick my kid up from work. shes taken this car to chicago twice. i drive the freeway everyday... im soo damn glad this happened in a parking lot and not doing 70miles per hour on the free way. once the subframe dropped the steering disconnected ( has a telescoping rod safety incase of a crash so the steering wheel dont smash ya in the face ) she was pretty scared and also glad it didnt happen down the highway. if this happened on the freeway or highway one or all of us probebly wouldnt be alive. but its fixable.
  9. lol sorry typo yes the 1985 .... is that yours

    Um...Help?

    it can be done in 1 color, but as for "hell to weed" depends on what size ya do it. say like 6" yea might be a pain. 12" not so bad.. as for 1 color,,the RED.. and the BLUE would be togather so ya probebly would have to weed the BLUE out just add another outer ring circle.

    Truck rocker panel sizing?

    i just measure the height of the rocker panel.. say example 3 inchs high. then just make sure your graphic stays within that height limit. if your going by JUST a picture, that might be hard since you dont know the actual rocker panel demensions.

    MH series blade stopped moving up and down

    shi* happens. its electronics. Mine came a little messed up, but called uscutter, and they helped me right out to get it fixed right away. Good Luck with your new one!! and enjoy! and yes, ground it. If ya have carpet, place a piece of something under the entire stand wheels. Ya can buy those plastic office mats from home depot. or maybe a small sheet of plywood or something.

    wow! not bad for a starter, since the price of a high end cutter or printer would cost close to that.
  15. yea the guy did all the reg maint on it.. a priest owned it before him. they rebuilt the trans, engine is exellent, brand new shocks, tires, timing chain, runs and rides great. so its worth fixing. and i like working on cars...a guy my wife works with at the hospital told her today he has a 1995 mini van in good condition he is gonna just give us. just needs 1 motor mount replaced. we can use that to haul stuff around. my first car when i got here to michigan was a 1988 cougar bought when i was in west virgina, then bought a 1994 thunderbird, loved that car, replaced that motor, then got a blazer, then got 98, cutlass, timing chain jumped on that, bent a valve and punched ahole in the piston, then bought this 1995 88, lol my wife has only been through 2 cars since. my luck sucks would love a 1995 monte carlo. I love that style.
  16. Yep I took tomorrow off of work to get started on it... it wont be fun. 4 day weekend. got some kroil and PB Blaster spray and a couple tanks for my mini torch. Pray those bolts come out. dealer wants $360.00 for 4 bushings!! yea that wont happen not for just rubber. Buddy has a similar car, has the "Hockey Puck" design. had it that was so far for 3 years and still going strong. Think im gonna go that route. I wont have the car but maybe another year, and gonna sell it or scrap it or part it out maybe.. I want a blazer again.
  17. Yea i Just could not believe that. But hey oh well. and yes ebay has been getting worse over the years. Most Huge companys like that, do not care about the little people. But how can ya GROW, ya gotta start somewhere. But business is not bad at all outside of ebay, and still more money in my pocket instead of this fee, that fee, dont forget about that other fee yada yada. outside of ebay so far, i have not had 1 un-happy customer yet. If i do, will do whatever I can to keep them happy. remember, money is over rated Might try etsy for a while see how that goes... Don't really have time for a website right now.. might make up something later this winter for something to do. pretty soon Youtube will want ya to buy credits or something to view videos. ( mark my words u watch )
  18. huh... they said none of my decals are in any copyright violations tho. all my decals are customizable with names etc usually. in memory are alot of them. with crosses, roses. those were the most popular... business names numbers for cars/ trucks, Hours of operation. i wasnt selling logos. But ohwell. more of a hassle than whats its worth for pennies. My better customers come from word of mouth so will stick with that now. . I do alot of buying on ebay and have no problems with that. but as a seller for decals on ebay dont think im gonna go that route no more.
  19. omfg!! now THATS a car!!! will need 23 red bulls to drive it tho lol
  20. well she said it spins and spins.. when i got to look at it, i turned it both ways just spins freely. Was told it came un coupled . no didnt actually just throw a huge spin on it lol just turns all the way around no " force feedback" if ya will after i looked all over under the hood. i started the engine. No lights stayed on. but yes wife was pretty shook up over this,.

    Need advice please....

    I started cutting with flexisign. I love it it does it all print cut plot all the settings ya need. but comes with a price tag. If ya can find a good used copy grab it. But try them all and see what you are comfortable with. There are some free, and cheaper ones out there. I just like to for the most part, use 1 program to do it all. Even tho i still use inkscape alot since it vectorizes very well...

    Not bad at all. For around here, thats about a decent price. Small town here. yea property taxes around here for a standard 1 or 2 acre country, is about 1300-1600 a year. give or take. I would love to do a large job like that.
