As we said earlier this week, sales have felt quiet for a holiday season. But when looking at our week’s numbers, we did okay. Sometimes the facts are different from our perception.
Running our eBay business means we’re always solving problems. And there are always new problems to solve. The good news is that we get to solve our own problem. Much different than when we worked for other people who paid us to solve their problems. As we’ve used our eBay profits to start a vacation rental business, we get to have a new set of problems to solve. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
We mentioned the following links in the podcast:
- A caller asked about how to raise he seller limits. eBay has a page explaining how that works. As long as items are selling and customers don’t complain, your limits will get raised quickly in our experience. You can always call them too to get limits raised over the phone.
- Deb asked about how we actually shop together. Our methods evolve over time, but check our second episode to hear our techniques in 2013.
- We talked last week about how to identify vintage wool rugs. Was it made in Turkey, Pakistan, Iran? Here’s a good site that helps explain the differences.
- Looking for a new podcast to listen to while working? Try the new season of Serial where they try to figure out what happened to Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Or this podcast about the Charles Manson murders.
- If you aren’t sick of our voices, check out our new episode over at Shampoo & Booze.
