Normally I avoid talking politics here...but...Posted Jun-28-08 08:16:07 PDT This isn't really to endorse or debate any candidate- just something that I found amusing...the article's address is here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080624/pl_bloomberg/ajxbcbplynwy_1 Here's one of the excerpts; ".... McCain, seeking to address voter anxiety about the economy, uses EBay to signal that he is ``fundamentally optimistic about the capacity of the U.S. economy to innovate, for that innovation to give new opportunities for jobs,'' said Doug Holtz-Eakin, the candidate's senior economic adviser." While I wholeheartedly agree that on a whole ebay sellers are innovated...it occurs to me that Mr McCain must not have an ebay account.... Repost- Penny Ante Game- 35 Players!Posted Jun-24-08 21:15:40 PDT Check out these 35 items for just a penny! This is my first week playing- the following is copied & pasted from Rooster's blog.... (Peamommy is off to do some browsing & shopping now....) Here are the RULES: 1. Each person picks ONE auction and starts it at a penny. And YES, anybody can join !!! Note: Please make sure all rules are followed, for your auction to get listed. I will post the game a couple times a day so people can see what is happening EXCEPT on Friday PM and Saturday because of the Jewish Sabbath (but I'll leave it up on my blog for people to see). Anyone else may post and spread the word about the game also -- please do :). HINT: If you have a store, feature your weekly Penny Ante in a promo box on your storefront. That way, folks can find it fast, even if they miss this post -- it seems to work for me!

Help Please w/ Auctiva ProblemPosted Jun-24-08 11:23:49 PDT I just opened my store a week or so ago- it's quite possible I am missing something obvious- when I create a listing with auctiva I want to add a link to my new store. I thought that I was by using the option of adding a custom link in their template. I just checked a couple of my items & the link to my store doesn't work. Anyone have an idea about what I could be doing wrong?

Summer Clothes SpamPosted Jun-22-08 14:05:50 PDT I have quite a few pairs of NWT jean shorts ending soon....low starts, no reserves =) Free Quick*Sell Gallery from ISDN*tek Happy Birthday Peanut & Happy Summer to everyone else...Posted Jun-21-08 10:53:38 PDT Six years ago today, a mere 7 days past his due date my son Peanut (well of course his name isn't actually Peanut, but that's what we call him) was born. Where does the time go? This is it for spam from me today. We're off to the beach and then it'll be cake & ice cream time. Paypal Postage ProblemPosted Jun-20-08 11:12:32 PDT Say that three times fast- seriously though- I'm trying to print postage & keep getting an error message that says "there is something wrong with your address". Both my address as the return and the buyers address is entered correctly, double & triple checked. Is anyone else getting this message? Should I just assume it's a glitch & try again in a few hours? I was hoping to get this stuff shipped out today....<grrr- grumble- bad words> More Book Worm SpamPosted Jun-20-08 10:06:09 PDT A couple more books added to my ebay store today.
Free Quick*Sell Gallery from ISDN*tek Spam for Book WormsPosted Jun-20-08 06:54:32 PDT I have a ton more to list, with a little luck the little ones will let me list them today- but for now here are some of the books I've added recently. I desperately need to par down my library- if anyone wants to volunteer their favorite genre I'll see what I have for you =)

Between every day family responsibilities and a couple of family emergencies in the last week, there just aren't enough hours in a day. I guess I'm hoping to hear reassuring feedback.... Afternoon Spam :)Posted Jun-18-08 09:41:35 PDT Just got back from visiting my grandmother in Maine- had a lovely visit, but I am so behind with everything now. Here's some new listings & expect more throughout the day
Free Quick*Sell Gallery from ISDN*tek Mystery Auctions?Posted Jun-14-08 06:56:40 PDT Does anyone know the status of them? I was under the impression that they'd be banned come June. I ran one back in May and figured that'd be the only one I ever had. Well the winning bidder never paid (ugh) and I want to relist it. I did a search and saw that there are still plenty listed, but I don't want it to get pulled if ebay is still planning on stopping them soon. getting started....Posted Jun-12-08 06:57:47 PDT I'm just starting to stock my new store! Just two items listed so far and I have to take a break to tend to my little ones, but I'll be adding more all day. I'm offering free shipping on both items I've listed so far. I have a red door :)Posted Jun-11-08 14:26:08 PDT
Today started off pretty sadly. My step grandfather passed away. We were expecting the call, he was well into his 80s and had had several strokes this past year. I guess no one is ever ready for the passing of a loved one, even if you know it's coming. Funny things have been happening all day since getting that call though. An incrediable deal on some wholesale products quite literally fell into my lap. (among other reasons I was holding off starting an ebay store because I didn't have quite enough products to list yet- now that's changed). Then I got a dress-makers dumbie for FREE! I've been wanting one for over a decade, but they're pretty pricey and I just couldn't justify the expense. Free is an awesome price :) It just seemed that the universe was giving me some loud & clear green lights to move forward and open my store. So I took the plunge & did it- if it doesn't work out well, I can always close it. Add me to your favorites (pretty please) and watch for all sorts of cool stuff soon... I have more bids :)Posted Jun-06-08 07:10:10 PDT I'm up to 5 out of 12 of my auctions having bids- I'm way more excited than under $3 in sales should make me :p But it's a start, right? It's pouring out here today. I'm taking that as a sign that I should stay home, take more pictures, list more stuff & try to better organize the stash. How long do you wait before reporting someone for non payment?Posted Jun-05-08 21:06:51 PDT I've had 3 non-paying customers in the past month, and I suspect that list is going to have 2 more added to it. Ugh. Considering I only sold about a dozen items in that time frame, it sucks even more. I'm just wondering how long do you wait before reporting it? I have sent these non-buying-buyers two reminders, and haven't had a response- I think it's been a week for one and 5 days for the other. My first pulled auction!Posted Jun-05-08 06:49:54 PDT I had an email this morning that one of my listings had been pulled :( It was for using the words "like new" to describe a book. Blah. I had just read that that's not allowed & why, but forgot that I used that term to describe this book. It seems a bit silly, especially with book. If a book has been read once, it often still looks brand new- 'like new' seems like an accurate way to describe the condition to me. Eh- I've removed the words & relisted it. Starting to feel better & thinking out loud...Posted Jun-04-08 09:40:53 PDT I'm in much less pain than I was yesterday. The swelling is going down, and I can walk with just a minor limp now. I'm going to try to take it easy again today, not an easy task with 7 month old who thinks she can walk already! Has everyone seen the two negative articles about ebay today? In a nutshell one was about online auctions being a dying fad, the other was about a court decision against ebay (selling fake designer bags). Yet more cons to put on the list of should I open an ebay store. Every time I think I am ready & that I am going to do it as soon as I have some free time to set it up; I come across yet another reason to reconsider. I haven't quite completely talked myself out of it, but I am pretty close. I think I'll continue to shop here, and continue to sell some stuff here while I go back to the drawing board to figure out what to do next with my professional (and I use that word so loosely) life. |
