Goose egg for me the last two weeks. I have a lot going on and I’m pretty overwelmed. Luckily I don’t have much unlisted Christmas. Unfortunately I had a couple handfuls of Thanksgiving that didn’t make it on to Ebay. Oh well.

Number of items listed this week: 0Very busy and challenging life outside Ebay. My 15 year old highly creative daughter likes to go to the thrift store occasionally now and she wanted to help take photos for me. She did a great job, had fun picking out the background paper, and added graphics to show a chip. Some potential but I don’t think her interest will last. Still cool that she got to see the process from start to finish. The item sold very quickly. She would like the entire profit as compensation, I suggested a Starbucks hourly rate, and we haven’t settled up yet. lol
Can someone tell me if there has been information from Ebay about tax reporting with managed payments? Unfortunately I snoozed on getting EZ auction tracker and will have a lot of work to do, though I’m hoping Ebay reports the net profit. When Ebay has just paid, my shipping comes from Paypal. I’ve got to get up to speed on this. My sales will be lower this year but still a pain.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone. Meet your challenges head on.
6 items listed for me. No textiles though I have many. I really need to get my few items of Thanksgiving up. It’s been hard to find time and energy to list.
Congrats on the marker sales! I think I remember you went back the next morning to get the rest. Good thinking!
Dismal sales for me this week. I listed a multi-quanity legos RA and that’s it. Very busy at the day job so that’s good. I also got my booster on Friday so kinda killed my energy this weekend.
Sold 4 items $183.45 gross, only $56.84 net? Hm. Some large subscription fees I’ll need to look at. I haven’t read all the postings but it sounds like some others had high fees last week too.
Also noted this week and some items at the store seem to be very low stock. My daughter’s iphone broke and the Best Buy guy said they have basically no phones and haven’t been able to get any unlocked phones from Apple for a while. Went to a restaurant that said they don’t have some food items right now… Seems like the squeeze is on. Not sure what is happening down in Long Beach. I have a friend who lives there and can see all the boats off the coast from her house.
9 items listed. I might join in for the death box challenge. Certainly have some of those. I have a box of Thanksgiving death for starters.

Number of items listed this week: 8Happy Halloween! First one I’ve been home for in 20 years I think or more. Very quiet Ebay week until the end. Had one day to jump on and do some Ebay listing for a bit. Life might be slower until Thanksgiving week possibly. I gave my friend a Midcentury modern Swiss set of snack plates, cups and saucers from the death piles this week and she loved it. A win. Need to order more coffee.
Hi Amatino, I had zero this week unfortunately, though I did make some drafts and just need to add photos this week.

Returns/ Issues: No payment on my Scream mask auction – sold for $145. So bummed. I had to wait four days to cancel and then could no longer do second chance?

Number of items listed this week: 0Busy week outside Ebay and dismal sales. I have a number of autumn and Thanksgiving things I really want to get up hopefully in the next week and a half, including my parents’ wild bird themed English china set. Fun wig party in Palm Springs to look forward to next weekend (I’m wearing an Amy Winehouse tribute) but will not get anything listed of course that weekend. For a long time I wasn’t in the mood to list but now that I am I just have good problems of increased day job work and spending time with family. Today I should get a window for listing while my daughter has some outings.

Number of items listed this week: 4Slow week (dead this weekend) but pretty good APS. I did a little online scavenging of clearance items at retailers. The new items help keep my store active. I’m totally in the mood for listing but spending a lot of time supporting my teen lately and working the day job. I have a few Halloween items left I want to clear out. Fun auction running on 1990s Scream / Scary Movie mask https://www.ebay.com/itm/234230909977 I happened to get lucky and hear these were worth money on a Facebook group page and then found one for $4. Hope the winning bidder pays.
