We take a moment this week to feel good about long term work that has paid off. It’s easy to just keep going and never stop to acknowledge that, hey, this crazy experiment of being independent is working. Hope you take a moment too!

Jay asks the people who want to be independent- how long does it take you to make $500 at your job? Would you work that hard for yourself to make $500 on eBay? Some listeners pointed us towards the Guaranteed Delivery dashboard, but it doesn’t seem to be fully working (click the Get Full Report link and you’ll see). You can also see which items need to be fixed to be included in Guaranteed Delivery, though they aren’t all showing up in search from what we can see. Hm.

So we decided to leave in one of our “frank discussions” aka “almost an argument” just so people can hear how we talk things out in a rare, non-heated manner. This is how things keep going in our house! We also discussed an issue a few sellers were having where their active listings were showing up in Unsolds. Thank goodness people helped each other figure it out on the forum. This is the bluetooth FM transmitter/charger that we love.

Despite starting the week off with some eBay/USPS chaos, our numbers showed that everything was going to be ok. Hoping this week will be the same!
