Amatino, your bathroom remodel is fantastic. It’s super charming and so beautiful – kudos to you and your hubs on a job well done!
26 new listings for me last week. Last Monday was a travel day for me so I had zero listings Monday, but I don’t have any really legit excuses for the other three days I didn’t list last week. Oops. I’ve been working hard sorting through and donating things in advance of downsizing our house though and that’s my not so legit excuse for low listing numbers.
At the end of this week until July 7th I’ll be on vacation. I don’t expect much from myself eBay-wise until after I get back. I’ve got a lot to do to prepare for the trip and for our nephew coming to house/cat sit.
Wishing everyone a great week!
29 new listings for me. I had zero listings over the weekend, my husband and I just returned from a 3 day trip up to the mountains.
Julie B: Monkey is adorable, and his name suits him perfectly!
Wishing everyone a great week!
30 new listings for me last week. I’m still not quite back to the number I strive for but it’s my highest # in the last 4 weeks so I’ll take it.
Wishing everyone a great week!
Oh Julie, my condolences to you on your Dad passing away. Your Mom must be so grateful to have a daughter who was able to come and help out for a whole month.
One of the best things about being self-employed is the ability to take time off when you’re needed elsewhere. When I worked in the corporate world they only allowed 3 days for bereavement leave.
I probably don’t need to state this – but I didn’t complete (or even start!) the May challenge. In fact I’m pretty positive I’ve not completed a single challenge yet this year 🙁
But I have high hopes for the June challenge even though it involves something I’ll usually do anything to avoid. My challenge #1 is to list all the clothes (except my SIL’s) that are in my basement. Considering all my DPs reside in my basement, and I recently cleaned out my closet and put all the clothes I no longer wear in my basement, it’s not a small task. I’m not a clothing seller and I dislike listing clothing (too many measurements, and too many returns) so this challenge won’t be easy for me. But I’m really going to give it my best. Fingers crossed!
Happy Memorial Day everyone!
I managed 27 new listings last week. I was hoping for more but I’d forgotten this was Memorial Day weekend with lots of social obligations.
I was happy to see that although I’d assumed that Memorial Day weekend would mean slow eBay sales, mine seem to have picked up. Fingers crossed it stays that way, as it’s been pretty slow lately.
Wishing everyone a productive and profitable week!
Just 22 new listings for me. I still haven’t gotten back into the swing of listing daily since being out of town weeks ago. Last week I was doing well until I got my second booster on Friday – then didn’t feel great (or like listing) over the weekend.
So (even though I’m already behind on listings for this week) I’m definitely going to make my listing goal on my next post. Wishing the same for everyone else!
Only 9 listings for me.
In my original post last Sunday (which disappeared) I stated that I’d be out of town for one day during that week and for half of this last posting week. So I knew my listing numbers would be lower for two consecutive weeks.
I did think I’d have more listings for this post but social obligations and resting up from traveling brought me way off my 5 listings per day goal. I’m hoping to get back to my usual listing game this week. Fingers crossed!
Wishing everyone a productive week ahead!
My challenge #11 was “Do trials of List Perfectly and other listing services to see if I want to use one permanently”.
My issues with not completing any of the monthly challenges are 1: Like Julie B, I only do things I want to do when I want to do them. 2: Ideas I quickly thought up to be ready to start the challenge may no longer apply. And 3: I’m a world class procastinator who can only manage one day at a time.
Problems 1 and 3 are surmountable with discipline as Julie pointed out, although I haven’t managed to do so yet – lol!
But problem 2 is a real problem. My challenge this month no longer makes any sense for me to work on. Like Vintage Lacy, I may be moving soon and with home downsizing my eBay store will have to become a niche store. Ebay is the only platform I’ll need to be on as I won’t be expanding my sales.
Darn, I only listed 20 items last week. I’m going out of town later this week but I’m still hoping to do better than 20 listings for this week.
Congrats on the high ticket sale Amatino, that’s fantastic! And congrats to Julie also, your ornament sale is an eBay sellers dream come true. Finding something no one else picks up at an estate sale that’s worth so much is reseller Nirvana!
Wishing everyone a good week!
Sharyn congrats to you also on finishing up your challenge for April. Your banner looks fantastic and your store description is wonderful as well. A job well done and very inspiring!
35 new listings for me last week.
Congrats to Vintage Lacy on taking Amatino’s nudge and running with it. Unfortunately for me the nudge was just another missed opportunity – lol.
Make it a great week everyone!
35 new listings for me last week. I’m chugging along at my current self-imposed pace of 5 new listings per day.
I had 2 instances of good customer service paying off. 2 people said they would purchase if I made changes to my listings. One wanted me to combine 2 listings into one with a discount and one wanted me to take one item out of a listing (they already owned one of the items included in the listing) and discount the listing price.
It is extra work to rephotograph and change listing descriptions but I ended up with two sales on Easter Sunday by doing so. And I would have had a zero sales day yesterday without those 2 sales.
Wishing everyone a productive week!
