LAST post tonight, goodnight dear bloggie buddies!

I really appreciate you all very much!   Sweet dreamszzzzzz dear ones....

Here is the letter I received today...read on...

Great time to sell: listing fees cut, Gallery FREE! This is the time to kick it up a notch. We've made some exciting new moves: reduced the upfront cost of selling on eBay by cutting insertion fees up to 25% for auction-style and fixed price listings. Gallery pictures in search results are now free to help you showcase your inventory for selling success. Clean up on winter clean out What better way to spend a late winter Saturday than clearing your closets for all things spring. Start with the kids' winter clothes and toys they'll outgrow by next winter. Clear your shelves of lingering holiday gifts, like the stylish (for someone else) handbag from Aunt Sylvie you know you'll never use. Got an i-Phone for Christmas? Sell your cell! Find them all a new home on eBay--and make money and space for a fresh start this spring. Try these handy helpers: Top 10 tips for successful selling Free shipping supplies How to take great pictures It's all in the stars--tips for keeping your Feedback on top Buyers rate sellers on specific aspects of their purchase: accuracy of the item description, communication, and cost and speed of shipping. Here are some tips for getting and keeping your ratings strong: Item description: Use pictures! With Gallery free, now every listing can have a picture. Use pictures of the actual item, not stock photos. Show every possible angle. Describe any flaws. Communication: Even on weekends. Today's online shoppers expect 24-hour communication lines and prompt response. That doesn't mean being tied to your email 24/7--consider automating emails at key steps and using Frequently Asked Questions. If you're not already using this great tool, check out eBay's Selling Manager Pro. Shipping time: Surprise and delight. Spell out the details: services you offer (e.g. USPS 2-day), when you ship after receiving payment, and how many calendar days--not business days--to expect for delivery. You'll delight when you're early and never disappoint. Shipping cost: Keep it real. Buyers give lower ratings to sellers who pad shipping. Make sure your charges reflect your real cost. Better yet, offer discounted or free shipping--and certainly combined shipping for many items to one customer. Itemize costs in the listing (handling, insurance, etc.) so there are no surprises. Check out more tips for satisfying customers and earning good feedback. More news... Cash in on the March catalog--see what's hot this Spring! The spring eBay catalog will mail the first week in March to more than 2 million eager eBay buyers. See what they'll be searching for and cash in if you have similar items to list. eBay Live!

Did you get that EBAY letter today? Hmmmmmm....

TO LIST OR NOT TO LIST...that is the question!  I have dozens of things I can list here, buuuuuuuuuuuuut. HELP....I'm on the fence tonight.  I'm just wondering if I relist some stuff will the free gallery apply to them, too?

Wish I had a buck for every auction that ended with

out a bidder but still had watchers...arghhhhhhhh!

Who here sells children's clothing?

I'm curious.  It's time for me to shop for spring and summer lots.  I will need size 7/8 girls and 10-14 boys.  Thanks!

Sending my best thoughts and warmest regards...

To all of my ebay bloggie friends who are moving on...

May the sun shine on your face and your horizon's be overflowing with promise!

 

((((((hugs, smiles, and prayers))))))))))

 

You are welcome back to my blog any time!

I'm cookin' again, so here's something for you!

Goodnight spam from our slushy snowbank to yours...

Who has over 48,000 views besides prettyblueeyes?

If not, then she is the winner tonight!  WOW gal!   Look under "location" to the left of your blog to see where your view number is at tonight.

 

 

<----------------------------

 

 

Just passed 9,000 views since October, kewl!

I hope these blogs can remain a happy place to meet friends NO MATTER WHAT takes place with ebay...OK? 

Time to touch bases with my bloggie buddies!

Waiting for the dough to rise...CALZONES!

How is everybody?  I'm making pepperoni calzones for late lunch/dinner, yummo!  What's going on here today? 

Do you have a long weekend???

Good Morning peeps! Have a few minutes to visit?

The coffee is on and I'm getting ready to make breakfast.  So, what's up today?  I've mailed out 5 or 6 packages this week and received some awesome feedback so far.  Very heartwarming.  I love the people (buyers and sellers) I work with here.  They are and have been a huge blessing in my life.

So, no matter what happens, I will stay the course and weather the changes.  Oh, and BE JOYFUL about it....no matter what. 

What is your LOVE LANGUAGE?

We reviewed the FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES of people tonight.  Oh, and the love chapter in I Corinthians 13:1-8

  1. Acts of service.
  2. Physical touch.
  3. Words of Affirmation.
  4. Gifts.
  5. Quality time.

So, what is your favorite love language?  Remember, this is a family friendly blog! 

Goodnight all, thanks for your help!

Our family has an opportunity to purchase a baby guinea pig in 3-4 weeks.  I need advice from guinea pig owners, do you recommend them as a good "first pet?"  Our daughter's 8th b-day is coming up.

Any and all comments welcome!  Thanks for stopping by...

 

STORIES...what's yours for the day? Anyone want

to share?  I have a few more minutes to visit.  Come on peeps!

Cheer up guys, wait...remember? FREE GALLERY

on the 20th, wait and see what happens after that...perhaps eBay will make MORE changes that will "change" your mind for the better in the future?  I understand why you are upset, don't get me wrong, call me optimistic...or whatever.  After all, I only started listing last Fall.  But I'm hopeful for whatever reason....I'm still hopeful!

Someone once said, "Only babies like to be changed"....perhaps that is true.  Then again, life is dynamic.  That means changes will always be a part of life.  If people, things, and businesses stayed the same, we wouldn't be where we are at today.  Look at the bright side!

Hope this helps to encourage and lift your spirits today!  BE JOYFUL!

 

Very Concerned...tornadoes? Everyone OK?

How is everyone in blogworld?  Did you make it through the storms???

Is there NO END to this snowglobe winter?

I'm with you who are enduring months of winter, it seems like there is no end in sight!  Although, "they" say we will see 42 degrees by this weekend.  It will still be under freezing at night.  Oh the trouble with ice now...yikes!  If it's not SNOW, it's ice. 

Thanks for letting me vent!  Our igloo has been standing for over 6 wks. now!  Man!
