Welcome jaepete! I believe you can join anytime.
This is a great place to hang out for accountability and motivation. Amatino’s listing challenge section of the forum has helped me immensely!
38 new listings for me. One met the Made in USA challenge. I’ve had dozens that I could count towards the challenge this month, but my made in the USA sewing patterns don’t seem like they fit the spirit of the challenge IMHO. I list sewing patterns all the time – so it’s not like I’m going out of my way to list them just because they meet the challenge.
I was hoping to get to 775 active by Sunday – I didn’t make it, so I’m going for that # early this week. I spent quite a bit of time working on my basement chaos (inspired by my best buddy) and it is SO MUCH BETTER now that it’s more organized. If you’re thinking you should organize your eBay space I highly recommend doing so. A more organized workspace saves so much time and frustration.
Wishing everyone a motivated, productive and inspired week!
55 new listings for me. I got a bee in my bonnet and wanted to make it to 750 active listings last week; I’m happy to say that I did it. It’s amazing what one can accomplish with determination and dedication. 800 next!
junque-redux & Amatino: I’m glad to hear that your health issues have been figured out, so you can at least move on from the fear of the unknown…
Vintage Lacy: It’s lovely to hear that you’ve found a nice wedding venue and have designed and ordered your cake. Do you have your dress and rings yet?
Wishing everyone a great week!
Utahbill – I was listing approximately 10 per week, for the past couple of months I’ve ramped it up to around 30 a week.
I listed 37 items for the week. 4 met the pop-up criteria. I believe I have 8 for the pop-up now and 3 for the June challenge?
Utahbill, I’m with you – I find if I get started listing early in the morning I get a lot more listings up. One of the eBay sellers I watch on YouTube said that they find their sales take two weeks to a month to catch up to the amount they are listing. I’ve found that to be true, my sales while listing 10 items a week were dismal, and it took some time for my sales to increase after I started listing more. Now my sales are fairly good consistantly. So I hope you will find your sales catch up as you continue to list higher numbers consistently.
Sorry to hear two of our wonderful members are not feeling well. Sending healing vibes to Amatino and junque redux. And VL I’m glad to hear you have A/C! Global warming is a killer.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week and a fun filled July 4th!
I’m a morning person too; I usually get up around 5 am.
I had 32 new listings this week. 4 items met the June challenge, and 1 met the pop-up challenge. For the pop-up challenge every time I fill a garbage bag with items and donate it I consider that 1 point. After 4 bags of donations my basement is finally looking marginally better.
Wishing everyone a productive week!
Congrats Utahbill!
I just broke the 700 listings mark. It’s been a struggle to get there, but now that my store sales are slow I finally made it.
Good sales to you too!
Julie B – I feel your pain regarding your pets. Because of our elderly and health challenged cats my husband and I had been waiting years to travel. Finally our last pet passed away and while we were grieving at least we knew that we’d finally be able to travel internationally for long periods without pet worries. 2 weeks after that we were in lockdown due to Covid. Sigh.
26 new listings for me. I had a busy week with our house guest but I did manage to eke out a little time to list.
With less planned distractions this week I’m hoping to get a higher # of new listings up. I’m also planning to put some time into the pop-up and June challenges this week – which coincide perfectly with my plan to de-hoardify (thanks for the great term, junque redux!) my basement.
Wishing everyone a fun and profitable week!
Sounds like JR, JB and I each have an entire basement to de-hordify. And wouldn’t my hubs be thrilled if I actually did that! My new rule for myself is if I have time to list but I don’t want to list, then I have to work on the basement instead. It’s very inspiring in motivating me to list!
JB: I totally love Mel Robbins’ 5 second rule. It also works well when I’m afraid to do something; like make a doctor or dental appointment. Doing something quickly before my brain has a chance to tell me why I shouldn’t works very well for me.
Hi Everyone!
I only listed 11 items last week. During the first part of the week I was still recovering from my root canal, it took a full week before my jaw stopped aching. Since I didn’t feel like listing I did some requested (by my hubs) donations of unlisted eBay inventory. I ended up with 3 bags to donate, 2 of which were after the pop-up challenge started, so yippee for that!
Then on Wednesday we took a 3 day trip up to the mountains, which was lovely. But that left just Saturday and Sunday to list. I don’t think this week will be any better as we are having a houseguest from Wednesday thru Saturday and before that I’ll be working on getting ready for having a houseguest. Along with other already scheduled activities it’ll be a busy week for me.
VL I’m so sorry to hear about the elder abuse. You must be so upset! But it sounds like you are getting it sorted and stopped, plus you have the support of your siblings, so that’s good to hear. And you have lovely wedding plans to work on!!!
Wishing everyone a great week!
Only 21 new listings for me. 1 met the seasonal challenge. I thought I’d manage more but the root canal knocked me for a loop. Speaking of being knocked for a loop: Amatino, your story sounds like an I Love Lucy episode but unfortunately with injuries. I hope you are on the mend!
Wishing everyone a happy Memorial Day and a great week ahead!
35 new listings for me. 3 met the May challenge criteria.
I’m pleased with my listing numbers again this week. Considering I’m still caring for my hubs post-op (which seems to be more time consuming rather than less as he recovers) as well as finding out I need a root canal, I’m feeling good about getting 35 new listings up. I’m actually relieved to find out I’ve been exhausted because I’ve had a massive infection (according to my dentist) for the last month. I thought I just wasn’t handling stress well. I’m looking forward to feeling better soon.
Wishing everyone a wonderful last week of May!
Thank you to all who sent good wishes on my husband’s surgery. It went well and he’s on the road to recovery now. We are both looking forward to putting this all behind us.
I managed 37 new listings, which I feel pretty good about considering I was gone from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday afternoon.
Wishing everyone a great week!
