Ok, this junk mailer is stupid because I can tell that the email is actually from HOTMAIL and from china (because of simplified chinese).
Now, I went to ebay community page and look up the name. This person does exist and have pretty good reputation.
Does he know that his name has been in use in spam? Should I tell him that I received an email that looks like him sending it, but not him. Have my name being used like that? ... This is just one email, and I received about 20 of them per day. What should I do ?

You bid, I sell.....

Call me a stupid or what, I just realized that whenever a person bid on my item. The BUY IT NOW will disappear. After 2 years selling on eBay, and how in the word I missed that. Thats 20 cents donate to eBay everytime someone bid on my items, instead of Buy It Now. Ok, 20 cents doesn't sound much at beginning, but today I sat down and do some math. That is alot money! I have seven style bras on hand, and each with 19 different cup size. Thats 133 listings at any given time. Thats 26.60 USD for using Buy It Now. Humm, that's some cost. Well, I decided to removed BUY IT NOW from my listings, and have buyer to bid on the item. At the end of the day, I end the auction and sell the item to highest buyer, then I relist the item. You bid, I sell.

A happy day - Thats why I love about what I am doing...

Another day start as usual. I opend up my email, and ready to reply to my customers. Then I open up an email that really shinned my day.

Hi.

I just wanted to let you know that I recieved my bra's today and all I have to say is.. THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I have never found such a comfortable bra in all my life and that were that affordable.  I am ordering more very soon!  And I am recommending your site too my friends who also have the same issue I have. 

************************************************************************
Well, that what keep me going. A customer told me, I am doing OK right now, and keep up the good work.!
Recently, I was approached by some direct marketing groups, and they defined their success as how much money they have in the pocket, and how much free time they can enjoy. That really confused me, because I really enjoy what I am doing right now, and whenever a customer told me they like the product I sold. I felt encouraged, and kept me going. That's when I told I am succeeded. My goal is not how much money I make, but how I can make a customer happy.

Best Regards, and have a wonderful day.

Having fun with eBay Features...

Today, I didn't do anything as I planned - Create Shapewear Listings. Instead I decided to let the lazy feeling took over my mind, and having fun play with features provide by eBay.
EBAY BLOG! This must be fun! I haven't write blog in English for a long time, and today I am just gonna give it a try. Hmm.... Well, I don't know. This week's plan is to creat shapewear listing - 50% is done so far and 10 more items to go. Can I finish it by 09/30? YES, I'll.
Its really not an easy job to creat shapewear listing. I want to provide most accure product info my customers. So, I created a standard measurment procedure, which I will need to measure each item individually. The result.... it takes a long time to create 1 simple listing. ~_~
Burma is at WAR! I really hope they can stop the war soon, because I've an uncle work over there.
---------------------------------
Humm, still lazy.
Let's go home and done for today.
