“traveling would mean going into rural areas, which appeals to me as I am city” – Same for me.

Cheryl,
I found this article on the web about this topic:
https://www.socalinternetlawyer.com/can-buy-sell-ebay-store/
It appears that you need to get ebay’s permission if you are going to transfer the store and feedback ratings, which makes sense. If you don’t get ebay’s permission, you run the risk of getting shut down at some point in the future.

Troy,
Yes, they were GTC and over 60 days old. However, just like listing a lot, it wasn’t necessarily the ones I updated that sold.
Mark
Jay,
Yes, you said well what I was trying to say.
Also, don’t hire someone on 1099 and then try to treat them as an employee. That is a no no and it could really come back to bite you. The contract person can tell the IRS that you treated them like an employee, and if that is true, then you will owe the taxes for them as if they were an employee.
Treating them like an employee means you tell them what to do and how and when. Whereas a contractor, you tell them what you want and they do the rest how they want. Think of it like hiring a plumber. You tell them the problem and then they fix it – with their tools, on their time schedule, and the way they want. It can get complicated, but that it the basics. Hi
Mark
Yes, the sku. I use this do do a lookup to my cog table for the cost. 2019 will be automated for getting the cost of goods for all items – with proper data entry.
Sales really took off while I was doing this. I was just wondering if casini saw this similar to making new listings or maybe this was just coincidence.

My other point may not have been clear. I was saying that Because of updating about 270 items for a number of different fields during a 2 day timeframe, my sales seemed to get a boost – much like we talk about getting g a boost for listing new items. Has anyone seen a boost like this for mass updating items?
Mark
By “secure” I mean the work is not secure because contract work by nature is not secure.
Mark
You should pay more than $2 per item if they are on 1099. Contract work always gets paid more because it is by not secure. Plus, they get more taken out for taxes. I was paying my lister $4 per item for listing and for all things that go with it – measurements, etc. Between $2 and $4 I would say is a good range for a 1099 worker for listing your items. I sometimes offered more when I needed things done in a short amount of time.

Almasty,
I had a similar reaction.
That was a pain that they didn’t take Paypal. I didn’t order as much as I was going to. I think they are going to lose sales because of that. Bad planning or bad decision making on that one!
Mark
stalix,
You are somewhat near (I think about a 1.5 hour drive) Jay and Ryanne. Maybe you can work out a deal with them?
Mark
I did a search of the solds on “eupopean sunscreen sun screen” – not seeing much. Is this the wrong search?
Mark S
Not much to choose from anymore. There are like 17 items to choose from.
I mostly stick to boxes, Tissue paper, poly mailers, and tape. Not much left from there.

Jay,
When I say great for Bonanza, I mean as compared to Truegether. For 2018: $579 on Bonanza vs. $338 on Truegether.
So, not great compared to ebay, but that’s $917 so I will take it when I basically did no extra work.
Yes, I think it is a bug that they refuse to fix. I guess re-importing your eBay store into Bonanza would only fix it for that moment, but then as things sell, it would get out of sync. But I think I am way off right now since Bonanza doesn’t end the items when they sell on ebay.
Mark
I am seeing the opposite with Bonanza and Truegether. Bonanza is doing great and not much at all with Truegether.
The only issue is that Bonanza is not syncing anymore as Jay says. Has anyone found a fix for that short of dropping and redoing your whole store?
