Morning,
Find this latest trend in E-Bays software to be just another rediculous way to Nickle & Dime us for every penny they can get. This has been going on for a several months but I am really getting tired of it!
When I go to list something in my Store I grab a similar Store item of mine and do Sell Similar. Now all of my Store listings are "Good Till Cancelled", and I mean ALL, but now when you do that, E-Bays system changes the duration. So when you go to page two of the listing it changes the duration to 7 days, and since I mostly forget to check that, a week later I have to Re-List them, pay another Nickel and then Edit the listing and change the Duration to "Good Til Cancelled".
I mean, this is obviously willful on their part.....Who would want to list a Store item for 7 days?
Gimme a Fricki'n Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Always plenty of PSA-graded cards in my ebay store -- https://ebay.com/str/thelumbercompanysportscards
<< <i>That is why after I finish my exams, I will be posting any item I have for sale on ecrater. I dont care if it sells or not..it can sit there as long as it wants for NO CHARGE and I dont have to use Paypal. I'll be using Google Payments. Screw Ebay/Paypal!!!! >>
/////////////////////////////////////////////
ecrater is still the best deal on the internet.
Without adwords, it is still slow and steady FREE money.
With adwords, you can generate traffic but it ends up
costing about the same as EBAY.
No FB/DSR troubles and no nasty overseer telling you
what you can and cannot list.
The ONLY downside is that "critical mass" is HUGE. You
need a TON of items - and a good variety of items - to
maximize traffic/sales.
ecrater has a "grabber tool" that will import EBAY items
for testing.
google-checkout OR checks/MOs welcome.
...........................................................
If you can find "sports related" CRAFTS, you can make money
on Etsy.com. Traffic is WAY up and stuff is flying off the shelves.
Items generally need to be "homemade," but you can buy them
at fleamarts and craftshows, make "slight" alterations yourself,
and sell them as "made by you." Or, you can "partner" with your
supplier and make them part of your "collective."
Vintage items are also allowed and do not need to be "homemade."
..........................
EVERYBODY here has "skills" that they learned on EBAY. Using
those skills exclusively on EBAY is a mistake.

And switch from bubble mailers to PWEs...

Hell with that, just do what I do. Stick the card in a toploader, tape the address onto the toploader and slap a stamp on it. Don't even have to waste money on a PWE.
