Amatino, I have a question about the September challenge. Could you please define textiles in terms of what counts for the challenge? I assume clothing is included but I want to be sure before I start counting…
Amatino, I had one more for the August challenge. I believe that brings me to 25 total for the August challenge.
Just 12 new listings for me. None met the August challenge.
Last week was a fun but very busy week with my sister visiting. I should be able to list more this week.
Wishing everyone a productive and profitable week!
Hello Fellow Challengers!
I had a good listing week with 50 new listings. 5 met the August challenge.
This week my sister is visiting from California so I’m not expecting to accomplish much as far as listing but the sourcing has already begun, so it’ll be a fun week 🙂
Wishing everyone a great week!
Congratulations Jaepete! It’s great to see someone who’s not yet won the weekly listing challenge win it!
Amatino, I posted before you so I missed saying how sorry I am to hear about your injuries. It’s strange that you can be such a graceful dancer but also prone to tripping over things. I’m clumsy but also a terrible dancer, similiar to Elaine Benes on Seinfeld  – lol!
Hello All,
Like Sharyn last week, I was on vacation this week. I had grand plans of listing on Sunday since we were scheduled to return home on Saturday, but our return flight was canceled due to mechanical issues. So I’ve just returned home 24 hours late. Zero listings for me.
I’m hoping to get some good numbers up in the coming week. Fingers crossed!
Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
I also use the “kill them with kindness” response, even though I have a temper and my initial response is always completely different than what I end up saying.
After I’ve responded kindly to rude customers I’ve had several contact me again and turn very nice. I spent many working years in customer service (before eBay) and I learned that one can never know what is going on in someone else’s life. Perhaps something really awful has just happened to that customer. It doesn’t excuse their behavior, but it helps me to cope with their unwarranted rudeness. (Hopefully the reason I feel better isn’t because I think they deserve something awful to have happened to them – lol!)
I managed 26 new listings, 19 of those met the August challenge. I’m on vacation this week so my numbers next week will be dismal. However I’m very grateful to be going out to the Oregon coast as the air quality here in Colorado is the worst in the world due to California wildfire smoke.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Congrats Utahbill on the 500 mark! I’m currently below my 800 # and working my way back up to it…
jaepete: the new listing number count as Amatino describes it is how I keep track. I just print out a free copy of each calendar month and mark how many listings I accomplish each day within each square on the calendar. I find it easy to keep track of and to add those up every week for the Monday post.
I’m feeling really lucky that our big listers are all so busy lately, I’ve been able to get on the board with some weekly listings wins! Heads up, everyone: I’m traveling the second and fourth weeks of August. If our big listers are still busy then it’ll be a good opportunity for someone else to win. It’d be fun to see someone who has never won the weekly numbers do so!
35 new listings for me, 3 met the USA challenge. I *think* I have 11 in total for the USA challenge.
I’m still struggling to get to the next milestone in active listings – it’s been a challenge to keep 800 active. I really want to get to 825 as my next goal but it’s proving elusive. August may not be the month I make that goal, 2 weeks out of this month will be dedicated to travel and having visitors.
Wishing everyone a fantastic week of productivity and sales!
Jaepete, welcome!
Utahbill, I’m sorry to hear about your health issue. It sounds like you have a great attitude about it though, and that’s one part of the battle you’ve already conquered. Wishing you all the best with your continued recovery!
Amatino, if you’d like to up my weekly goal to 21 that’d be fine. My math is terrible so I’m not sure if that’ll leave me ahead or behind on my yearly goal total thus far. But hopefully still ahead!
28 new listings for me, 4 met the USA made challenge.
I’m still at 800 active listings, it looks like it’ll take more than 28 new listings a week to grow my store.
Is anyone else experiencing lots of sales one day and zero the next? I seems to me that every time I notice an eBay change, i.e. when eBay added the VAT tax calculation, I’ve have no sales the day before. So I’m blaming my zero sales days on eBay tinkering/improving the site.
I went to an really interesting estate sale yesterday. It was an electronics collector’s house. I had no idea what half the items were. However, today everything is free and I’m not going to let not knowing what something is stop me from getting it if it’s free 🙂 True scavenger here…
Hello Listing Challengers!
I had 58 new listings for the week. I got it in my head that I wanted to hit 800 active listings and I did it! 🙂
I had 3 for the Made in the USA challenge. I’m still not counting my sewing pattern listings for the USA challenge – because then it’s no challenge for me.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!
