#3- Buyer & Seller communicate

[the-bjd-community-confess]

I’ve had my very first bad secondhand buying experience, where what I got didn’t line up with the listing. I’m socialised to “not make a fuss” so I have been agonising for hours wondering how to bring this up to the seller, and I am really down about it. :(

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #13

April 5-12 2024

President Biden announced the cancellation of a student loan debt for a further 277,000 Americans. This brings the number of a Americans who had their debt canceled by the Biden administration through different means since the Supreme Court struck down Biden's first place in 2023 to 4.3 million and a total of $153 billion of debt canceled so far. Most of these borrowers were a part of the President's SAVE Plan, a debt repayment program with 8 million enrollees, over 4 million of whom don't have to make monthly repayments and are still on the path to debt forgiveness.

President Biden announced a plan that would cancel student loan debt for 4 million borrowers and bring debt relief to 30 million Americans The plan takes steps like making automatic debt forgiveness through the public service forgiveness so qualified borrowers who don't know to apply will have their debts forgiven. The plan will wipe out the interest on the debt of 23 million Americans. President Biden touted how the plan will help black and Latino borrowers the most who carry the heavily debt burdens. The plan is expected to go into effect this fall ahead of the election.

President Biden and Vice-President Harris announced the closing of the so-called gun show loophole. For years people selling guns outside of traditional stores, such as at gun shows and in the 21st century over the internet have not been required to preform a background check to see if buyers are legally allowed to own a fire arm. Now all sellers of guns, even over the internet, are required to be licensed and preform a background check. This is the largest single expansion of the background check system since its creation.

The EPA published the first ever regulations on PFAS, known as forever chemicals, in drinking water. The new rules would reduce PFAS exposure for 100 million people according to the EPA. The Biden Administration announced along side the EPA regulations it would make available $1 billion dollars for state and local water treatment to help test for and filter out PFAS in line with the new rule. This marks the first time since 1996 that the EPA has passed a drinking water rule for new contaminants.

The Department of Commerce announced a deal with microchip giant TSMC to bring billions in investment and manufacturing to Arizona. The US makes only about 10% of the world's microchips and none of the most advanced chips. Under the CHIPS and Science Act the Biden Administration hopes to expand America's high-tech manufacturing so that 20% of advanced chips are made in America. TSMC makes about 90% of the world's advanced chips. The deal which sees a $6.6 billion dollar grant from the US government in exchange for $65 billion worth of investment by TSMC in 3 high tech manufacturing facilities in Arizona, the first of which will open next year. This represents the single largest foreign investment in Arizona's history and will bring thousands of new jobs to the state and boost America's microchip manufacturing.

The EPA finalized rules strengthening clean air standards around chemical plants. The new rule will lower the risk of cancer in communities near chemical plants by 96% and eliminate 6,200 tons of toxic air pollution each year. The rules target two dangerous cancer causing chemicals, ethylene oxide and chloroprene, the rule will reduce emissions of these chemicals by 80%.

the Department of the Interior announced it had beaten the Biden Administration goals when it comes to new clean energy projects. The Department has now permitted more than 25 gigawatts of clean energy projects on public lands, surpass the Administrations goal for 2025 already. These solar, wind, and hydro projects will power 12 million American homes with totally green power. Currently 10 gigawatts of clean energy are currently being generated on public lands, powering more than 5 million homes across the West. 

The Department of Transportation announced $830 million to support local communities in becoming more climate resilient. The money will go to 80 projects across 37 states, DC, and the US Virgin Islands The projects will help local Infrastructure better stand up to extreme weather causes by climate change.

The Senate confirmed Susan Bazis, Robert White, and Ann Marie McIff Allen to lifetime federal judgeships in Nebraska, Michigan, and Utah respectively. This brings the total number of judges appointed by President Biden to 193

@ravasheencc's Mint to Be Ice Cream Market - 4t3 conversion

THIS DOWNLOAD REQUIRES ARSIL'S ICE CREAM STAND MOD - WITHOUT IT, IT WON'T WORK

When I saw this set, I wanted to convert it on the spot, and when I looked at Arsil's mod, it would just be an OBJK change, so, super doable :)

Both ice cream stations are floating on counter height - I tried to make them fit a large slot at first, but it made both the seller NPC and the buyer sim float in the air. That said, put the station first, then the counters - even without placement flags, they can go over surfaces without reason, as Arsil also warned about at MTS. No need to use moveobjects on, though.

This time, only the sandwichboard and the wall sign (not the poster) are recolorable. There's really no reason for the other objects to be :P

All under 600 polys 8D

Wall sign and poster under Deco> Paintings, sandwichboard under Deco>Sculptures and the ice cream stations are both at Build>Community>Misc and Entertainment>Misc for ease of access, but it won't let a sim get free scoops if they're on a residential lot.

It's also a great add-on for @twinsimming and @olomaya's 4t3 Boba tea set <3

weird question, but do you know if regenerative agriculture is growing, and by what rate? it's important to me but looking for articles on my own can trigger a panic attack :[ no worries if not !

Hey! Thank you so much for asking. Honestly, agriculture and sustainable agriculture specifically are very close to my heart as well, so I was glad for the excuse to do some research :) 

Also, thank you for your patience, I know you sent this Ask a bit ago. It’s good that you’re listening to yourself and not going around searching for things that might cause you harm, so thanks again for reaching out!

So, what is regenerative agriculture? 

Regenerative agriculture is a way of farming that focuses on soil health. When soil is healthy, it produces more food and nutrition, stores more carbon and increases biodiversity – the variety of species. Healthy soil supports other water, land and air environments and ecosystems through natural processes including water drainage and pollination – the fertilization of plants.

Regenerative agriculture is a defining term for sustainability in our food system - while there is no one true definition of regenerative agriculture, the concept has been around for centuries, taking root in Indigenous growing practices. Regenerative approaches can bolster soil health and watershed health. They can also add to climate mitigation and potentially tie into regulatory or commercial incentives for a more sustainable diet. 

Regenerative farming methods include minimizing the ploughing of land. This keeps CO2 in the soil, improves its water absorbency and leaves vital fungal communities in the earth undisturbed.

Rotating crops to vary the types of crop planted improves biodiversity, while using animal manure and compost helps to return nutrients to the soil. 

Continuously grazing animals on the same piece of land can also degrade soil, explains the Regenerative agriculture in Europe report from the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council. So regenerative agriculture methods include moving grazing animals to different pastures.

How can it help?

Regenerative farming can improve crop yields – the volume of crops produced – by improving the health of soil and its ability to retain water, as well as reducing soil erosion. If regenerative farming was implemented in Africa, crop yields could rise 13% by 2040 and up to 40% in the future, according to a Regenerative Farming in Africa report by conservation organization the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the UN.

Regenerative farming can also reduce emissions from agriculture and turn the croplands and pastures, which cover up to 40% of Earth’s ice-free land area, into carbon sinks. These are environments that naturally absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, according to climate solutions organization Project Drawdown.

5 ways to scale regenerative agriculture:

1. Agree on common metrics for environmental outcomes. Today, there are many disparate efforts to define and measure environmental outcomes. We must move to a set of metrics adopted by the whole food industry, making it easier for farmers to adjust their practices and for positive changes to be rewarded. 2. Build farmers’ income from environmental outcomes such as carbon reduction and removal. We need a well-functioning market with a credible system of payments for environmental outcomes, trusted by buyers and sellers, that creates a new, durable, income stream for farmers. 3. Create mechanisms to share the cost of transition with farmers. Today, all the risk and cost sits with the farmers. 4. Ensure government policy enables and rewards farmers for transition. Too many government policies are in fact supporting the status quo of farming. The food sector must come together and work jointly with regulators to address this. 5. Develop new sourcing models to spread the cost of transition. We must move from sourcing models that take crops from anywhere to models that involve collaboration between off-takers from different sectors to take crops from areas converting to regenerative farming.

The rise of regenerative agriculture

In 2019, General Mills, the manufacturer of Cheerios, Yoplait and Annie’s Mac and Cheese (among other products), announced it would begin sourcing a portion of its corn, wheat, dairy and sugar from farmers who were engaged in regenerative agriculture practices and committed to advancing the practice of regenerative agriculture on one million acres of land by 2030. In early 2020, Whole Foods announced regenerative agriculture would be the No. 1 food trend and, in spite of the pandemic and the rapid growth of online shopping overshadowing the trend, business interest in the field still spiked by 138%. 

More recently, PepsiCo announced it was adopting regenerative agriculture practices among 7 million acres of its farmland. Cargill declared it intends to do the same on 10 million acres by 2030, and Walmart has committed to advancing the practice on 50 million acres. Other companies pursuing regenerative agriculture include Danone, Unilever, Hormel, Target and Land O’ Lakes.

According to Nielsen, 75% of millennials are altering their buying habits with the environment in mind. This sentiment, of course, does not always materialize into tangible actions on behalf of every consumer. However, it is clear from the actions of PepsiCo, General Mills, Walmart, Unilever and others that they believe consumers’ expectations of what is environmentally friendly are shifting and that they will soon be looking to purchase regeneratively-produced foods because of the many benefits they produce.

The next step in the transition to regenerative agriculture is certification. The goal is to create labeling that will allow the consumer to connect to the full suite of their values. Some companies are partnering with nonprofit conveners and certifiers. The Savory Institute is one such partner, convening producers and brands around regenerative agriculture and more holistic land management practices.

In 2020, the Savory Institute granted its first “Ecological OutCome Verification (EOV) seal to Epic’s latest high protein bars by certifying that its featured beef was raised with regenerative agriculture practices. 

The program was developed to let the land speak for itself by showing improvement through both leading and lagging functions such as plant diversity and water holding capacity. There are now thousands of products that have been Land to Market verified, with over 80 brand partnerships with companies such as Epic Provisions, Eileen Fisher and Applegate.  Daily Harvest is giving growers in that space three-year contracts as well as markets and price premiums for the transitional crop. It's focusing on that transitional organic process as a stepping stone toward a regenerative organic food system.

Daily Harvest’s Almond Project creates an alliance with the Savory Institute and a group of stakeholders - including Simple Mills and Cappello’s - to bring regenerative practices to almonds in the Central Valley of California.

These companies are working with Treehouse California Almonds, their shared almond supplier, to lead soil health research on 160 acres of farmland. Over five years, the Project will focus on measuring outcomes around the ecosystem and soil health of regenerative practices – comparing those side by side with neighboring conventional baselines.

“We need industry partnership; we need pre-competitive collaboration,” says Rebecca Gildiner, Director of Sustainability at Daily Harvest, of the Almond Project. “Sustainability cannot be competitive. We are all sharing suppliers, we are all sharing supply – rising tides truly lift all boats. The industry has to understand our responsibility in investing, where historically investments have disproportionately focused on yields with a sole focus of feeding the world. We know this has been critical in the past but it has overlooked other forms of capital, other than financial. We need to look towards experimenting in holistic systems that have other outcomes than yield and profit - instead of saying organic can’t feed the world, we have to invest in figuring out how organic can feed the world because it’s critical.”

////

In short!!!

Many articles are stating regenerative agriculture as a defining, and rising “buzz word” in the industry. It seems that consumers are becoming more and more aware and are demanding more sustainable approaches to agriculture. 

We, of course, have a way to go, but it seems from the data that I’ve gathered, that regenerative agriculture is, in fact, on the rise. Demand is rising, and many are working on ways to globalize those methods.

B. Commercial Property

Office Spaces: High demand in Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai.

Retail & Hospitality: Hotels, restaurants, and shops—often purchased by investors under leasehold or Thai corporate ownership.

Industrial & Warehousing: Growing due to Thailand’s manufacturing and logistics sectors.

Leasehold:

Maximum lease term: 30 years (renewable, but not guaranteed).

Common for villas, land, and commercial properties.

Leasehold registrations must be filed at the Land Department.

B. Alternative Ownership Structures

Thai Company Ownership

Foreigners can set up a Thai company to hold land, but the structure must comply with the Foreign Business Act (FBA).

Risks: If deemed a nominee arrangement (illegal), the property can be confiscated.

Usufruct Agreements (Sections 1417-1428, Thai Civil Code)

Grants the right to use and profit from a property for life or a fixed term.

Common among expatriates married to Thai nationals.

Allows construction on leased land, with ownership of the building.

C. Restrictions on Foreign Ownership

Land Ownership: Prohibited unless through a BOI-promoted investment or treaty (rare).

Condos: Up to 49% foreign ownership per project.

Agricultural Land: Strictly limited to Thai nationals.

3. Key Property Services in Thailand

A. Real Estate Agencies & Brokerage Services

Local Agencies: Specialize in regional markets (e.g., Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya).

International Firms: CBRE, Knight Frank, and Savills cater to high-net-worth investors.

Due Diligence:��Reputable agents verify property titles, zoning laws, and seller legitimacy.

B. Legal & Conveyancing Services

Contract Review: Checking lease agreements, purchase contracts, and mortgage terms.

4. Due Diligence: Avoiding Pitfalls in Thai Real Estate

A. Verifying Property Titles

Chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor): The most secure land title.

Nor Sor 3 Gor: Less secure, requires additional checks.

Red Flags: Missing documents, disputed boundaries, or unclear ownership history.

B. Checking for Encumbrances

Mortgages or Liens: Must be cleared before transfer.

Zoning & Land Use Laws: Ensure the property can be used as intended.

C. Foreign Quota in Condos

5. Financing Property in Thailand

A. Thai Bank Mortgages for Foreigners

Eligibility: Typically requires a work permit or long-term visa.

Loan-to-Value (LTV): Usually 50-70% for foreigners.

Interest Rates: 5-7% (higher than in Western markets).

B. International Financing

Some investors secure loans from overseas banks.

Currency Risk: Fluctuations in THB can impact repayments.

C. Cash Purchases

Most common for foreigners due to financing limitations.

6. Emerging Trends & Future Outlook

Digital Transactions: Increasing use of blockchain for property records.

Eco-Friendly Developments: Green buildings and sustainable housing demand.

Rise of Proptech: Online platforms for property searches, virtual tours, and AI-driven valuations.

7. Conclusion

Thailand’s property market offers lucrative opportunities but requires careful navigation of legal, financial, and logistical challenges. Engaging professional services—real estate agents, lawyers, and property managers—is crucial to ensuring secure and profitable investments.

Foreign buyers must prioritize due diligence, understand ownership restrictions, and consider long-term implications of leasehold vs. freehold acquisitions. With the right approach, Thailand remains a compelling destination for real estate investment, whether for personal use, rental income, or capital appreciation.

Any tenno out there that uses trade to get their platinum, care to share their tips for large inventory management as a seller?

See, I come from the land of auction houses. You list the thing in there, you wait, and in a few days or hours you get the money in your inbox. A quiet, hassle-free experience for the less socially-apt.

But Warframe is a profoundly social game. It’s built around community and you have to talk to people to trade things. No use arguing against that, it is what it is.

Now. I have a lot of items that I could trade (prime parts, mods and whatnot), but the sole thought of putting the items on the market page and instantly receiving 100s of whispers from different buyers really stresses me out. I tried it a year ago and after the 10th trade I was so exhausted that I never did it again. I was receiving, like, 3 messages per minute from people wanting to buy different things (and I have to double check the items' names every time since my game is in spanish and the market message is in english, so yeah, it is a very nerve-wracking process).

The biggest put off for me is that trade is incompatible with actually playing the game. Whenever you want to trade, you have to log in and sit in front of your computer screen doing nothing but waiting for messages. Because if you receive one and don't answer in 2 seconds or less, you lost the buyer. The fact that I have to literally set a time to play sell things to people one-on-one instead of playing a game is shocking to me.

So, yeah, if you have any tips on how to manage trading dozens of items without losing your mind, I'd love to hear them.

Online Classified Ads: A Classic Example of C2C E-Commerce

The Power of Online Classified Ads in C2C E-Commerce

In today’s digital era, e-commerce has redefined how individuals and businesses interact, creating seamless connections between buyers and sellers. A shining example of this transformation is the rise of C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer) e-commerce, with online classified ads leading the charge. Platforms like Craigslist, OLX, and Facebook Marketplace have revolutionized the traditional marketplace by making transactions faster, more convenient, and globally accessible.

Let’s explore how online classified ads exemplify C2C e-commerce, the technology behind their success, and the significant role they play in shaping the digital economy.

What is C2C E-Commerce?

C2C e-commerce, or consumer-to-consumer electronic commerce, facilitates direct transactions between individual buyers and sellers using third-party platforms. Unlike B2C (Business-to-Consumer) or B2B (Business-to-Business) models, C2C focuses entirely on connecting consumers for transactions without a middleman business.

Online classified ads are the backbone of C2C e-commerce, acting as digital hubs where users list products and services for sale. Other users can then browse, negotiate, and purchase directly from the seller.

Why Online Classified Ads Are Ideal for C2C E-Commerce

1. Direct Consumer Interaction Classified platforms prioritize direct communication between buyers and sellers. This immediate interaction fosters trust and simplifies decision-making, making transactions quicker and more personal.

2. Low or Zero Transaction Costs Most platforms allow users to post ads for free or charge minimal fees. This affordability encourages individuals to sell items and services, creating a thriving marketplace.

3. Diverse Offerings From second-hand furniture and electronics to rental properties and job postings, online classifieds cover a broad spectrum of categories, catering to a wide range of consumer needs.

4. Global and Local Reach Users can choose between targeting local buyers for quick sales or reaching a global audience for niche products, making these platforms highly versatile.

5. User-Friendly Platforms Designed to be simple and intuitive, classified sites are accessible to users of all skill levels, enabling easy posting, browsing, and communication.

The Technology Behind Online Classified Platforms

The success of online classified ads lies in the sophisticated technologies powering these platforms:

Advanced Search Algorithms: These ensure users quickly find relevant listings based on location, category, and price.

Secure Payment Gateways: Many platforms integrate secure payment options to safeguard transactions.

Responsive Web Design: Classified platforms are optimized for mobile devices, ensuring consistent user experiences across screens.

AI-Powered Recommendations: Artificial intelligence offers personalized suggestions based on user preferences and browsing behavior.

SEO and Analytics: Platforms leverage SEO to boost the visibility of listings on search engines and use analytics to understand and enhance user engagement.

Benefits of Online Classified Ads in C2C E-Commerce

1. Empowering Small Sellers Classified ads provide a level playing field for individuals and small businesses to reach buyers without requiring a physical storefront.

2. Promoting Sustainability By encouraging the resale of second-hand goods, these platforms reduce waste and contribute to a circular economy.

3. Faster Transactions With features like instant messaging and real-time notifications, classified platforms streamline communication and accelerate deals.

4. Cost-Effective Marketing Sellers can create impactful ads with photos and detailed descriptions without needing expensive marketing campaigns.

Challenges in C2C E-Commerce via Classified Ads

Despite their advantages, online classifieds face challenges:

Trust Issues: Buyers may worry about product quality, payment security, or fraudulent listings.

Minimal Regulation: Without strict oversight, issues like spam, counterfeit goods, and misleading ads may arise.

High Competition: The abundance of listings can make it hard for sellers to stand out without investing in premium placements.

Logistics: Delivery is often left to buyers and sellers, complicating transactions for bulky or long-distance items.

How Online Classified Ads Drive C2C E-Commerce Growth

Despite these obstacles, classified platforms remain pivotal in the growth of C2C e-commerce for several reasons:

Democratization of Commerce: They empower anyone with internet access to participate in the marketplace.

Innovative Monetization: Features like promoted ads and premium listings offer additional value to users while generating revenue for platforms.

Community Building: By fostering local transactions and encouraging user feedback, classified platforms create engaged communities.

Optimizing Classified Listings with SEO

For sellers, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is essential to boost visibility on classified platforms. Including relevant keywords like “buy and sell locally,” “best deals online,” or “affordable used goods” can significantly enhance listing performance.

Companies like KSoft Technologies specialize in web development, SEO strategies, and digital marketing, helping classified platforms and individual sellers achieve:

Higher rankings on search engines.

Benefit of Product Photo Editing for Amazon In today's competitive online marketplace, the significance of high-quality product images cannot be overstated. As one of the world's largest e-commerce platforms, Amazon is a gateway for businesses to showcase their products to a global audience. The visual presentation of products plays a crucial role in capturing the attention of potential customers, influencing purchasing decisions, and ultimately driving sales. This article will explore the benefits of product photo editing for Amazon sellers, delving into how professional photo editing can enhance the platform's visibility, credibility, and conversion rates. By implementing effective editing strategies and leveraging the right tools, sellers can optimize their product images to stand out in a crowded marketplace and maximize their online presence.

1. Importance of High-Quality Product Images on Amazon

1.1 The Impact of Visual Content on Consumer Behavior

In a world where attention spans are shorter than a goldfish's memory, high-quality product images on Amazon can make or break a sale. Research shows that compelling visuals play a significant role in influencing consumer behavior, helping shoppers make informed purchasing decisions.

1.2 Stand Out in a Competitive Marketplace

Amazon is a jungle of products vying for attention. To survive and thrive in this competitive landscape, your product images need to shine brighter than a disco ball at Studio 54. High-quality visuals can make your products stand out, capturing the attention of potential buyers amidst a sea of options.

2. Enhancing Visibility and Sales with Professional Photo Editing

2.1 Optimizing Images for Amazon's Search Algorithms

Think of Amazon's search algorithms as picky matchmakers trying to pair products with shoppers. Professional photo editing can optimize your images, ensuring they meet the criteria to appear in search results and increase visibility among your target audience.

2.2 Increasing Click-Through Rates with Engaging Visuals

Just like a captivating movie trailer makes you want to watch the whole film, engaging visuals can entice shoppers to click on your product listing. Professional photo editing can help create visually appealing images that pique curiosity and drive higher click-through rates.

3. Building Trust and Credibility through Polished Product Photos

3.1 Establishing Brand Reputation with Consistent Image Quality

Consistency is key, whether you're talking about a good skincare routine or your product images. By maintaining high-quality and polished visuals across your Amazon listings, you can build trust with customers and establish a strong brand reputation.

3.2 Communicating Product Features and Benefits Effectively

A picture speaks a thousand words, especially when it comes to showcasing your product's features and benefits. Professional photo editing can help highlight key selling points, making it easier for customers to understand what your product offers and why they need it in their lives.

4. Maximizing Conversion Rates with Appealing Visuals

4.1 Creating a Compelling Product Story through Images

Every product has a story to tell, and your images are the storytellers. By creating a compelling narrative through visually appealing photos, you can draw customers in, evoke emotions, and ultimately drive them towards making a purchase.

4.2 Encouraging Purchase Decisions with High-Resolution Photos

Blurry photos belong in the '90s, not on your Amazon listings. High-resolution images, thanks to professional photo editing, can showcase your products in all their glory, giving customers a clear view of what they're getting and nudging them closer to hitting that "Add to Cart" button.

5. Strategies for Effective Product Photo Editing on Amazon

Product photos need to look their best to stand out on Amazon. Embrace techniques like color correction, background removal, and blemish retouching to ensure your products shine bright like a diamond (or at least like a well-polished product photo).

6. Leveraging Editing Tools and Techniques for Optimal Results

6.1 Understanding the Role of Lighting and Composition in Photography

Before you start editing, remember that photography basics matter. Play around with lighting and composition to capture eye-catching product shots that set the stage for editing magic to happen.

6.2 Enhancing Color Accuracy and Contrast for Visual Impact

Color is your secret weapon in the world of product photo editing. Use it wisely to enhance color accuracy and contrast, making your products pop off the screen like they’re saying, “Hey, look at me!”In conclusion, investing in professional product photo editing is a strategic move that can yield significant returns for Amazon sellers. By prioritizing the quality and visual appeal of their product images, sellers can build trust with customers, increase visibility, and ultimately boost sales. Through the implementation of effective editing techniques and adherence to best practices, sellers can enhance the overall shopping experience for customers and position their products for success in the competitive landscape of e-commerce.

Expert Advice For Purchasing Magic Mushroom And Psilocybin Spores

Purchase of mushroom spores online can be challenging and time consuming, and can put you in jeopardy of legal trouble according to the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA). Although magic mushroom spores do not contain psilocybin or psilocin, their transformation into mushrooms becomes illegal under federal law.

There are thankfully several reliable mushroom spore sellers who adhere to honest business practices, offering genuine mushroom spores at reasonable prices. Below are some tips to help avoid being scammed or taken advantage of by dishonest vendors:

1. Look for a Reputable Vendor As with any purchase, buyers should conduct extensive research to identify a dependable vendor. When researching vendors it’s essential to check their return policy, shipping methods and customer support options as well as reading customer testimonials and reviews from past purchasers who share their experience of how well the mushroom spores worked and were shipped.

Spores are tiny seeds that produce mushrooms. As these spores do not contain psychedelic chemicals such as psilocybin, sale and possession are legal in most states; once mushrooms grow from these spores they contain psilocybin which falls under federal law’s paraphernalia statute.

That’s why it’s essential to ensure the spore vendor you select is operating legally, according to Rush. He suggests checking the state where a seller operates as this could raise red flags; also consider whether they provide mushroom growing supplies and/or cultivation tips on their website, since such activities could potentially violate state laws such as Idaho where growing mushrooms is against the law.

Buyers should avoid websites offering free spores as part of promotional giveaways, as freebies may come from businesses trying to establish themselves, who may not adhere to cultivation and safety regulations. Therefore, it’s essential that buyers select only reliable spore vendors who have been in operation for at least several years.

2. Read Product Descriptions Though it might be tempting to choose a company offering the lowest prices, make sure that their reputation comes first. A reliable firm should provide clear descriptions of its products as well as adhering to good manufacturing practices that ensure product quality, plus be able to answer any inquiries you have. Conversely, scammy firms will leave behind angry users expressing displeasure with them via social media posts and forums.

Legality of Psilocybin Mushroom Spores Varies by State The legality of Psilocybin mushroom spores depends heavily on your location and intent when purchasing. Some states, like Idaho and California, prohibit buying any mushroom spores that contain any psilocybin; while in Oregon spores fall under the same classification as mushrooms thus not subject to laws pertaining to them.

Cultivating spores can be challenging, so finding an experienced seller to guide you through the process is essential. A good seller will have an established presence within the mushroom community and offer high-quality viable spores; reviews and testimonials provide additional insight into a seller’s quality spores as do forums such as Shroomery or subreddits.

Psilocybin, commonly referred to as magic mushrooms, is an hallucinogenic fungus that produces mind-altering effects when consumed. One of the oldest drugs ever recorded, it remains popular as recreational drug usage across many cultures around the globe. If you or anyone close to you has consumed poisonous mushrooms and is experiencing any of its side effects, please call 13 11 26 immediately for medical assistance.

3. Check the Reputation of the Vendor If you are purchasing mushroom spores online to grow them yourself, always investigate the company first. A legitimate seller will have an outstanding track record and will share their growing process with customers; additionally they may host forums where customers can ask questions and share experiences related to this seller. In addition, an established seller should offer multiple payment methods – including both credit/debit cards as well as cryptocurrency payment such as Bitcoin for secure and discreet transactions.

When purchasing spores, pay special attention to packaging and shipping methods. Spores are typically shipped in sterile syringes or swabs sealed inside an unobtrusive box; sometimes vendors even conceal them within books or toys to enhance discrete shipping methods. Some reputable vendors even allow customers to select their preferred shipping method to ensure safe arrival of the spores.

Although some psychedelic mushroom spores may be legally purchased in most states, as soon as they develop into actual magic mushrooms they become illegal and should therefore be strictly adhered to under your local laws. It’s therefore imperative to become informed prior to making any purchases in your state.

Some cities, including Denver, have decriminalized magic mushrooms and make arresting those possessing them for personal use a lower priority. That doesn’t mean it is safest to purchase them online without being wary; always err on the side of caution when dealing with psychoactive drugs such as magic mushrooms.

Do you have any suggestions for first time ticket sellers?

Hi dear,

Yes, read thru this post, this one and this one, and this tag - they all have a lot of important info for sellers and buyers!

Beyond those tips, here are other things to keep in mind:

Don't be shy about asking bigger accounts/UAs to post your ticket, most are happy to do so.

Make sure you know when your ticket can be transferred, if transfers aren't yet available, and be clear about that to whoever is interested in the ticket.

Don't be rude/aggressive

Trust your gut, if someone is being sketchy be careful

As a seller, you have most of the power, and the buyer is the one taking the bigger risk, so just be nice, clear, and to the point - if they suggest something you aren't comfortable with, clearly communicate your terms, just be kind.

Be careful with trades. Since there's no monetary exchange, a lot of scammers say they'll trade tickets, but then never send you theirs.

The way the sales work if you're selling directly to the fan is essentially in 2 parts. One is the ticket transfer, and the other the monetary exchange. They happen in separate platforms.

For the monetary $$ exchange:

They will need your PayPal email address in order to send you the money - make sure it's the correct one, and the spelling is correct!

You may need their PayPal email address - make sure it's the correct one, and the spelling is correct!

I recommend always using PayPal Goods & Services - it's the only way you and the buyer have any sort of protection on the purchase.

Sometimes PayPal withholds funds for 1-3 business days, or releases funds in increments over the span of weeks. They may also block your/the buyer's account if you/them have not used it recently, so make sure the account is in order and working well.

For the ticket transfer:

You will need their Ticketmaster (or AXS or Live Nation) email address. Make sure it's the correct one, and the spelling is correct!

How to transfer the tickets to the buyer:

Go to the Ticketmaster app/website, find the ticket(s) you need to send them, and click Transfer. It will prompt you to write their email address, click confirm, and send. Ticketmaster will then email the buyer the ticket transfer. The buyer has to go to the email and click accept. At this point the transfer will be complete and your ticket will have left your Ticketmaster account and went to the buyer's.

Please note that during this exchange you will both see each other's names and emails as they appear on your accounts.

If you're selling via Ticketmaster's resale, or a 3rd party reseller website, simply list the ticket you need to sell, and they will do most of the work for you (for a fee). For the 3rd party reseller, you will still need to transfer the ticket from your Ticketmaster account to the buyer's using the email they provide via the 3rd party website - the steps are the same as above for the transfer.

Make sure to read thru Ticketmaster's resale section to learn more about that process if selling thru them. (link)

Please note: these tips are more comprehensive for the US market. Although the process is very similar in other countries, it can differ slightly. Make sure to google Ticketmaster's policies for your country regarding transfers and resale.
