Big Money

Long day at work today. Staff meeting at 8:30am and worked until 5:30pm! Yikes! But I'll be paid for 9 hours! Big Money Day!

I've sold 9 items on eBay now. Some things went for more than I expected, some for less, but I made a profit on everything I bought to sell. And the rest I either didn't fit me anymore or I had no use for it, so I consider the entire selling price to be profit.

I've lost my selling momentum, so I'm going to take a short break, and try selling some heavy/bulky items locally next week. Then I'll start gathering up the eBay worthy stuff and get back to selling.

I love, love, love the way eBay is set up now. I used to have to guess on shipping costs, and got burned a few times when shipping cost more than the money I received. And I had to wait in line at post offices. Now, they pay with PayPal, I print a Canada Post shipping label directly from PayPal, paid with my PayPal balance, the tracking number goes to the buyer, I don't even have to send them an email, I tape the label on the package and drop it in any post office box. So much easier!

I've purchased things on eBay but never sold anything. I'm not sure I have anything that anyone would want!

Before eBay got so big, I sold all sorts of stupid stuff - even stickers and kid's computer games. That kind of stuff wouldn't sell now though.

Thanks for the info about eBay. I knew they'd made some changes in the way the shipping works, but you describe it really well.

Thanks. I'm really happy with it. I only wish that they had tracking for packages to the US. It's included within Canada, but I think it costs a lot extra for the US, so I don't bother.

I had a lot of good sales with ebay--sold all the 'things' I wanted to get rid of--now I have nothing and I'm not buying anything from ebay!!!

Yeah, that's the trick - not to buy more stuff with the money I made!
