Big week because I finally listed some of the coins I have from a large collection. Have tons more to list but I will be taking my time with them.

Actually went out to the stores this weekend. It felt great to do that and be pretty secure (had both shots and 2 weeks have passed). Found a great item, an original Ghostbusters Firehouse playset in amazing condition. It was missing a few pieces but I never see actual vintage toys in good shape anymore. And it was half price ($2). Nothing like a fun find to renew the scavenging battery.

Decent week, slow but steady. I’m happy to spend about 20 minutes a day on my Ebay stuff between listing and shipping.

I see that coins is one of the categories. Has that category been opened back up for everyone to sell in?

Congrats on the grand opening. Mom and I drove by on Saturday and the joint was jumping. Even the back porch was full. So great to see in downtown after the past 13+ months.

Slow week so I’m just listing and doing my thing.

Steady sales this week. Kept listing but at a slower pace. Got my second vaccine shot so looking forward to being able to go out a bit more (with mask of course) and see some friends who are also vaccinated.

Downgraded my store. Touched base with customer service and they said if I saw an early termination charge to contact them. Nothing in my last invoice (April 15, downgraded April 12). Will keep checking. Curious how my invoice/bill/whatever it is called now will look as it was explained to me that my new store rate will start May 1. Thinking maybe I will get a 14 day bill for April 16 to 30? Will see.

Did notice a $6 charge for Seller Pro in my latest invoice. I opted out of that when I downgraded. I think it is $10 a month for Basic stores. I never used it. Perhaps the $6 dollars covers the rest of the month of April. So confusing and complicated for no real reason. I’ll be glad when all of these changes clear the system and I know 100% what the cost will be again.

Thank you both for your comments. Very helpful.

Slow 2 weeks for me. I too had no weekend sales, I thought it was because I had on time away (but I was allowing purchases). But it sounds like it happened to lots of folks.

I pushed to list a bunch more before I went on time away. I aim to list 50 items a week. Had some of those extra items sell which is always nice. My husband and I are clearing out some old electronics we discovered/decided we were done with. We tend to keep everything until we are sure we don’t need it any more (any one need a smaller flat screen tv? – we have 3) 🙂 Feels good to list them and hopefully move them along to new homes.

I have 1 non delivered item that might wind up being a refund. Opened a case with the USPS and heard back but no details yet. Only $15 but I will wait the full amount of time and hope that it winds up being delivered.

Extra thank you to the “What is this thing” forum friends. That Fish pin I asked about sold almost as soon as I listed it. Now I know to pay attention to real fish pins when scavenging. 🙂

Steady sales and more listing. No complaints.

Seems like I’ve had more luck with sending out offers lately. I tend to get 3-4 sales a month from offers. This month I’ve had at least 10, if not more.

Thank you so much My Cottage! Mucho appreciated!!

Steady week of low dollar sales. Continuing to list and feel good about that. Sold some items for my friend who had to move in a rush and did a major downsize. Feels good to send here some cash every few months from stuff she would have trashed/given away just to be rid of it. I give her all the profits after fees/taxes are covered.

Most excited to be scheduled for my 1st vaccine shot Friday. Looking forward to being able to go out and be more comfortable in public in 6 weeks. And being able to swim this summer!

Slow week with 2 days of no sales but a big sale saved it average wise. I didn’t mind since I set up Time Away and enjoyed a trip out of town for a 3 day weekend.

I focused on listing and made good progress. This current week has been a mix of the new listings and older items. Always happy to see that.

@craig rex Have you been able to track cards you’ve mailed using the new trading card shipping option? I guess it is only available for cards under $20 so I’m not sure if you have any sales like that. Just curious, as I’ve not been able to see any tracking info for my few sales beyond “Label created”.

My first time posting numbers

Total Items in Store: 1114
Items Sold: 14
Gross Sales: $308.60
Net Sales: $214.00
Cost of Items Sold: $7
Highest Price Sold: $49.99 Sony DVD-R mini disc 10 pack
Money Spent on New Inventory This Week: $1.05 (actually the mini DVD pack at a thrift store)
Number of items listed this week: 25

I’m a part timer. I achieved my goal of averaging 1 item sold per day last year. Goal this year is an average of 2 items sold a day. Put in a lot of work lately to slay my death pile. I am at the final boss, as I have 234 items to list.

I stopped sourcing while the death pile existed (except that mini dvd pickup that I couldn’t resist). I will probably start sourcing again slowly but wait until I’m closer to the end of those 234 before I really start looking again.

Thanks for the podcast and all you forum folks for making this community so fun and educational. I learn something every week. I don’t drink coffee but I’ve been enjoying hearing about the coffeeshop. Hope there will be a hot chocolate on the menu.
