AtomicStar – welcome to the group! We’d love to have you! Just post your week’s listings every Monday and we’ll pair you up with someone who matches your trends.
Regarding my sewing, it’s my therapy! LOL! I discovered that working 15 hour days makes me less productive, not more, so it’s tools down at 6PM. I feed the menagerie, tidy up, and then it’s therapy time. It took me a while to set myself up with a sewing space that is organized and well arranged, but I can go there now and work on a project of my choice. Now that the costumes are done, I have to finish the shorts for my daughter and grandson, and then will do some patriotic quilted table toppers for 4th of July gifts that are sort of obligatory (long story). Finally, I need new clothes and will be working on my wardrobe. I don’t sew every day, but most weekends and quite a few evenings. I find the creative process relaxing. I usually have an audiobook running in the background and can keep myself happily occupied for hours.
Thanks for all the kind words. It was hard work, but the end result was worth it. The show was such amazing fun and the ladies surprised me with a thank you gift box that was very generous.
ChristineR, you’re a whole 5 points ahead of me! I’d have to whoop you five whole weeks in a row just to break even! 😀
It looks like KatieScott and Marjean have dropped out. I’ll keep them in one more week to see if they pop back.
The closest I could find to your first listing 162813201632 was this one on Worthpoint that sold for $29.99 in 2012

This single tile sold for $19.99 in 2014
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/franciscan-interpace-tile-1661670879Doing an eBay search for border listello tiles similar to yours, a lot of them are priced around $6 with free shipping. Both Houzz and BHG are offering similar tiles for around $6, both with free shipping.
The pricing on the last tile seems to be fine, but the shipping cost is high. Also, you’re showing tiles in that listing that you’re not selling in that listing. If this were my listing, I would do a bunch of photos with the tile for this listing only, then I would include one at the very end with the pink tiles. In the description I would state that the pink tiles are available in a separate listing and give the listing URL in the description.
All three listings are going to be long tail items. I’ve found that DIY stuff sells best from March through September, so for half a year, they’re going to be actively searched. You may need to wait a couple years for them to sell.
If you’re using shipping policies, you add it to the policy. Under the shipping option where you choose how you want it to ship (e.g. USPS Flat Rate Envelope) there is a check box to add other options. Add a bunch, or just one, or none, as the case may be.
Remember, the policy is true for all listings with that policy selected, so if you want to use this particular combination for one listing only, you need to label it thus.
I’d wait at least 30 days, with multiple contact attempts. Not more than that, though, bc I’d use my sell similar option on eBay to relist it
Good morning and Happy Monday!
VERY happy Monday for me, LOL! The show was a great success and folks really enjoyed it. Here are a couple photos. https://imgur.com/a/VslSBms
Ceteris paribus, I’ll start listing this week, my last week of zeroes! 🙂
Hmmm… that’s a good point. I clicked on their “how do you like our new label” link and put that in the comments box. I asked them to add the next label option and have a one click to return to Hub link.
Regarding the default, on mine it defaults to Custom Size based on the dimensions I put in on listing. It only goes for Flat Rate if I select the USPS packaging.
Congratulations folks, you did excellently this week!
Marjean and Katie, post your numbers and I’ll put them in. 😉
Posting early bc it’s a zero for me again this past week. My final week of Chaos before everything comes to a head next Saturday. It’s my largest Student Showcase so far, costumes must be completed by Friday for the Full Dress Rehearsal, and I have all the admin work for it too. On top of that, I have Financials due for the Board, and my other job just upped my work schedule from one to two days a week. Oh, and my husband just started a new business that requires I do his financials for him too. How come “a plumber never fixes his own pipes” doesn’t work for bookkeepers?
On Death Piles, I just received two huge carloads of stuff donated by my community. Some of it is meh-quality that I might just drop off at Goodwill, but there are some really cool things. 1950s stuff, motorbike helmets, Bose speakers. Can’t wait to get listing! I was hoping to start listing this week, but my TDL is up to 42 items already today, over half of which have to be completed this week, so it’s not likely. Hmmm… perhaps if I move ‘sleep’ from Must Do category to the If I Have Time one….? 😀
Sorry it was bad news, Kate! Hope you get better prices! Perhaps you’ll start a new high-price search trend and we’ll all benefit. LOL 🙂
Well, that was quite the rabbit hole! 😀
$18,000 for a 3 bed, 3 bath in NY? Wow!
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/505-Main-St-Morristown-NY-13664/2089941702_zpid/Actually, Amazon has been doing this for years. Dunno why it just made the news now. I remember a few years ago (5-8 years back) somebody was banned and it made the news bc they threw a little Rumpelstiltskin. Turned out they were retail “renters” and it all got brushed aside quietly.
“… I don’t think our issue would have got fixed if we didn’t have the following and the clout that we have …” (at 5:29 in the video)
Exactly. If we have this issue, we’re up the proverbial creek.
I read somewhere (sorry, Jay, can’t remember where) that one solution is to open the parcel in front of the post office employee, then you can place a claim of mail fraud with a postal employee as witness. In theory, this seems like a workable solution. Take a print out of the paperwork on the return, open the parcel in front of the employee, and get them to sign as witness if it’s not what was supposed to be shipped. If you have a case number with the post office, perhaps eBay would take you more seriously.
