J&R, business moguls.
I can’t wait to grab my pitchfork and protest your existence once you reach Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos levels of success. Lol!

Sourcing Allotment 2It was SLOW and I felt it. March is always the pits though.
First two weeks of March 2019: 40 sales for $1050
First two weeks of March 2020: 27 sales for $691
First two weeks of March 2021: 43 sales for $1504
So keeping things in the proper perspective, I’m actually having a RECORD historical month!
Covid checks start going out this month, so hopefully sales see a bump. The last check didn’t really seem to bump things, probably because most people are no longer under lockdown.
I was able to get my ebay PC fixed so I am back in business. I had over 200 listings that needed the item specifics updated…groan…
This week I gotta tackle the beast that is taxes. I’ve been putting it off long enough – gotta tackle the mess that is godaddy.
I started to get back on the listing train this week. I got some ebay room cleaning and organizing done. A BIG task I accomplished was cleaning out my car. To say that was needed is an understatement. It is ebay related too since my car was full of unlisted inventory.
Have you ever inquired with a local cleaning company to clean your rentals? It may be worth talking to them and getting a quote. Likely more expensive but it would be reliable since they would have a whole team to call on instead of just one person.
100% no. I tell them it is not worth endangering my business to commit mail fraud.
If they don’t understand that then I don’t want them as a customer.
I served on a Federal Grand Jury for 18 months. Yes, they definitely let bad guys stay free for months and in some cases YEARS potentially doing more bad things before dropping the hammer quite regularly. The AUSDA’s are overworked, the investigating federal officers are overworked. There is a massive backlog.
It was very frustrating to see the time delays before an indictment was brought before the grand jury many times.
It would be a bad idea mainly because the per item over 1000 listing fee jumps from 10 cents to 25 cents each. So unless you can guarantee the collectibles category thing keeps you under 1000, it may cost you more in the long run.
You also loose $25 in shipping supplies.
Yeah it was Doublythumbs. He not only recovered, he went full time and has almost 5000 listings now! I tried to find his post about it, but it may have been on the old forum.

Sourcing Allotment 2Ah, so at the bottom of the table after pasting, there are a few options. On the left is the word “table”. I right clicked on this and it let me choose “paste as plain text”. It did that and it reformated to what you see above. I learned something. Yay!
If I post directly copy/paste from excel this is what it looks like now.
<table width=”206″>

It used to import as tab delineated and looked good. Now it comes in as a table but when I hit submit it freaks out.A while back I had to change my posting method. I used to be able to copy/paste my numbers from excel, but it started freaking out a couple months ago. I have to cut/paste as plain text into word, then copy/paste onto forum. It works, but adds a ton of space between lines. Oh well.
That sucks your numbers are so far down. I had zero sales yesterday, and none so far today. I definitely hope things blow up once they checks start rolling.
I’ve been drinking Burundi for the last week. The sample pack of whole beans lasts quite a while for a single cup a day. It is a very interesting change from dark roast. To me it tastes more like a very high quality robust tea than a coffee. I drink it straight with no additions – adding anything would ruin it in my humble opinion. I also am significantly less jittery after drinking my 20oz serving of this compared to my usual southern split.
I got a sample of every flavor, so I’ll do guatemalan next.

Busy week this week outside ebay. We did the gender reveal thing – we’re having a girl this time. Our last 3 kids we did not know until the baby came out, so this was a fun change.
I lost a day of productivity on ebay because my ebay computer is messed up. I spent all day trying to fix that. I HATE working on computers.
I changed my day job work hours to 6am-3pm. While it is nice to get home so early, my whole schedule is kinda bungled right now because of it. I’ll need to readjust to the new schedule and figure out how ebay fits into it.
