Lot 7 - .001

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the cryptograffiti collab! I'm super happy with how well that was received!

I asked my assistant if she could put together some step-by-step instructions for funding a Guardian and here's what she came up with. If anyone has any interest in making a nicely-produced how-to video please pm me to discuss further.

Thanks you for sharing, mymadmax!!

After a complex discussion with ChiBitTy regarding this whole situation, I’ve provided MJ with an address to return my donation. Despite my hopes for a swift resolution, the problem lingers on a year later, and it's nobody's fault but Yogg's.

To those here with integrity, I appreciate you. To the charlatans: is the enduring burden on your conscience truly worth it?

Lovely.

Careful all, this is a newbie and the grammar has me a little sus... esp. if they try to sell you something.

10, Kialara

This is fun, thanks aoluain - and Merry Christmas everyone!

Winna! Thanks, Canary and all bidders! Pm otw

Thanks for the bids, all! Kryptowerk, I think so... haloxon, 

Looks awesome, thanks for sharing MJ!

Spoke with eBay, and they've told me that they removed any restrictions from my account, however... I can't add international bidders to these first three auctions since bids have already been placed.

I will make sure international bidders are included in future auctions, and may consider running a couple here on the forum as well.

There might be a workaround for now... by adding a US address to your profile and making it your default address. I'm thinking you could potentially use one of the escrow's addresses here who has a PO Box, etc... OR, I don't see why you couldn't use some sort of Pack/Mail address or random address... and I would verify the shipping info before shipping.

Again, none of this was intentional and I hope that anyone who wants to can find a way to participate. I've always gone out of my way to work with customers from across the globe.

Thank you all,

P.S. Congrats to Mopar for sweeping these million sats    https://twitter.com/KialaraCoin/status/1718369652978716859

Ok, so it seems the issue is this:

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/selling/selling-internationally?id=4132
How to sell internationally
Have earned at least 10 feedback points as a seller

So it never even gave me an option to select to allow international bidders. I had just assumed anyone could bid.

I could offer up a handful of satoris or similar at bargain BIN prices to hit that threshold of 10... assuming the buyers would be open to leaving me feedback prior to receiving them.

I did message eBay on twitter/X to ask if anything can be done, but it's the weekend so who knows. They were good about getting back to me a couple days ago via X when I had to verify my account from scratch due to a period of inactivity.

Will dive into this more tomorrow, thanks everyone.



~ and an edit to say thanks for testing it out Honeybadger!

Ok, I may have fixed the international bidders thing... In my profile settings I unchecked a box that said not to allow bids from people with addresses I don't ship to... so maybe you can still bid and then handle shipping afterwards or maybe MJ can help out there? But I didn't see anywhere specifically to add the int. shipping option.

Here's a newer auction that hasn't jumped in price yet if anyone is wanting to test it out.
