I worked my tail off this week and sited 50 items. I went up to the next store level and now have 439 listings. I’m working on that magical 500+ number!

MollyHi Ladies:
I went to the next level of store (1,000) so I listed all my drafts and continued to list. I got 32 in this last week. I am up to 340 items and would like to be at 500 before the end of the years. I don’t know if that is possible with a full time job and other responsibilities but I will give it a try.
MollySorry for the delay ladies. I thought I posted last night but I must not have hit the submit button…argh.
Anyway, I’m at 6 this week. Next week I will do quadrupedal time!
MollySharyn:
Ahhhh, that would be nice. I will call ebay and see if they “give” in the middle of the month on upgrading store subscription. Yes, I plan on using a yearly subscription.
Thanks!Hi Ladies:
Do drafts count? I listed 15 drafts because I am at 350 (.25 per listing x 100 hurts). I plan on purchasing the next level of store next month. Sales are decent so I’m going to bite the bullet and expand / increase.
MollyHi Ladies:
Had a MAJOR hurricane just one county over and have been doing relief work. I had several drafts in so I posted them. That gave me a total of 8 last week. I will be spending every weekend in Panama City FL helping with debris clean up but I will try to get 8 to 10 items listed per week.
Molly (Itemsfromthesouth)This week was ok on sales. I sold 14 at $552.50. I had company from out of town staying with me so I only listed 2 items.
I work full time in the school system and we have Hurricane Michael coming our way so I’m thinking schools will be closed for a couple of days and IF I keep power…I will be listing while on hurricane days.
I hope everyone had a good week!Ryanne –

Money Spent on New Inventory This Week: $218 Went to a huge Estate SaleI want to thank Ryanne for telling us about vintage perfume. I purchased 4 bottles at an estate sale this week for a total of $2.50. When I researched them…I had to list them immediately. One sold over night for $135.00 plus shipping. That will be on next weeks totals. Thank you and I’ll be adding to the TIP jar!
If I put a price of $50 or more on an item, I will add a “best offer”. Most items under that price are just a Buy It Now.
Amatio and friends:
Thanks for allowing me to be part of your group. I am here for the loooong run! Although I have been selling part time for many years, I don’t know / or communicate with any other sellers. I found Scavenger Life podcast a couple of months ago and have listened / watched every one of them. I would love to have an accountability partner…or two!

I would like an accountable twin!
Here is my story: I have been selling on ebay for 20 years. I have a niche item store that has done well … especially for a very part timer. Last January I opened another store of which I sell everything I can. It is doing well for me so I plan on retiring from my job early to sell on eBay almost full time. With that being said, I will still be a part-time lister until June/July of 2019 listing 10 – 20 items per week.
Is anyone available to be my twin?

I am retiring NEXT year and do know what pickleball is. I play 2 to 3 nights a week. If you like being active and you have courts near you…give it a try. It is very addictive!
For those of you asking what the heck pickleball is: Think of Pingpong and tennis. Half the size of a tennis court with a small paddle and a whiffle ball. Sounds strange to picture…google if if interested. It is fun for all ages!
