GMD stands for “ General Merchandise Deliveries” For those deliveries you deliver to more houses, and it’s typically not grocery items, at least not perishable ones. One day it felt like I was delivering a small bag of rice. Generally these packages are one item/package per house. For GMD deliveries I like to think of them more like Amazon packages.

    You should have kept the website to continue doing what you love because now it feels like she started a war with you. Since you decided to back down from it essentially you made her win while you lost not only you're website, the hobby you enjoyed doing but also the fact to be able to catch this scammer and bring her to justice. Also, I believe your business could have lasted even years. Currently, I work in a small business which is family owned for over 50 years. Yes, they had many people come to steal including one person who stole over 30k but that didn't stop them from closing their store no they learned from it and will make sure it doesn't happen again. Plus covid 19 didn't affect them as much.

    I started selling on eBay years ago but got scammed when I sold a gold coin and the buyer said he never got it. eBay immediately took the money out of my account and refunded him. I was without $$$ or gold. So I quit. Quit selling. It was just a side hustle during Covid anyway. Recently I purchased a sign for $200 it didn't meet my needs (eBays new 100% guarantee) so I sent it back...seller says never received... I'm currently in Pay Pal litigation BY COMPUTER. They have no one to talk too. Absolutely disgusting. I'll no longer buy on eBay or use PayPal.
