I can't believe it! (I have one gift organized, one clue on DH and nothing for anyone else and NO idea what to buy...how much trouble am I in?? LOL)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As a <a href="http://www.antiquedaze.com/">SELLER</a> though? I have this part down! Every year the PO sets deadlines for "the last mailing date"... this year's are:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DOMESTIC MAIL:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Parcel Post 12-15 </span><br />
1st Mail 12-20<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Priority Mail 12-21</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Express Mail 12-22 </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I rarely use Parcel Post because of the time it takes. If you have something so heavy, it's the most economical option? I'd check UPS 2 day saver rates or FedEx's. Why chance not having something arrive in time for Santa to shove it under the Christmas tree? Either that or Mail NOW!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now First Class and Priority Mail have been sharing planes the last couple of years but the PO has set the deadlines one day apart. And honestly, the 21st is Tuesday and Christmas is Saturday of that week....pretty tight! I'd be dropping stuff on Saturday the 18th if it were me. (and it will be...)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In the Past, the PO has had people delivering on Christmas day for Express Mail but I don't see that on their website this year so plan accordingly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now as an </span><a href="http://www.depressionglasswarehouse.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">eBay Seller</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, I typically get 20-30% of my sales internationally so I watch those deadlines closely too - and that one is looming</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">International Mail</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I highlighted Europe in red because, this week they've had some unusually snowy conditions and frigid cold so there are delays there already. SHIP sooner,not later. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you're a seller on any venue (heck I'm on Bonanza, Addoway eCrater Amazon and eBay and I know people on MORE sites or with their own site..) this week, post your shipping deadlines so folks now. For instance, I don't run out to the Post Office on Christmas Eve for anyone...not even family. So I'll say it nicer but it will go up tomorrow.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just want to give you some easy hints... Facebook (which is passing google for number of users/visitors) and with Facebook, if you want to monetize a Fan page, there is Netcarnation and Payvment. I'm working on a Payvment page for </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Depressionglasswarehouse"><span style="font-size: large;">DepressionGlassWarehouse</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and when/if it's every done, functional and open for business, I'll try Netcarnation on my </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/AntiqueDaze"><span style="font-size: large;">AntiqueDaze fan page</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> so, come and "like" those pages and then check back periodically to see the results. MORE in a while.</span><br />

Maybe! #blogboostThese days, eBay sellers, if they are 1/2 as smart as most of them seem, are reviewing EVERYTHING.. Because Best match is such a mess and finding your way to the top has gotten harder and harder for us "little guys". <br />
<br />
One of the things we've been told by multiple sources (ebay itself and lots of guru types) is that using Fixed Price is the way to go BUT don't leave non-selling items up there forever cause after a few months of no sale, Best Match love, like all so-so marriages, turns to icy distain and your item gets pushed closer and closer to the eBay curb...where NO one will ever see it.<br />
<br />
In other words, after 3-4 months in your store, with NO sales and too many lookee-lous it's time to relist. <br />
<br />
But if you have, as I did at one point 1700 listings, or as a couple of my friends have, 2500+ listings or even 5000+ listings..how do you find the ones that need to be "reformed"?<br />
<br />
eBay has a new trick up it's sleeve - on your MY EBAY page...check this out! (finally they did something right and since I'm complimenting them it's probably going to be taken away on Monday so use it quick)<br />

That's where you normally look to see if anything has bids.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If your items show up in here, it's time to end them, and rework them and relist them. Not SELL SIMILAR, NOT RELIST .. Do'em over.

Sometimes you need to get something done and that is ALWAYS when the software hangs, the garage door won't open or close or some other stupid thing gets stuck. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, I'm not good with garage doors or stupid things but THIS works for the software. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When USPS Shipping Assistant is open (or any other software) and won't close (lately for me it's IE7) you can right click on the taskbar at the bottom. Bring up TASK MANAGER - click PROCESSES TAB - sort alphabetically and then when you find the offending program, highlight it, and click END PROCESS - and WALA! it's done for! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now it does say at the bottom, don't do this cause it messes up the software or some other gobbledygook but... I closed AOL that way for about 8 years cause it didn't close out completely on it's own and it sucked up too much in computer "resources" to leave it open. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have used it on other software too and some of them NEVER give up without it. So here's what I say - if you tried everything else and nothing worked?? NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED (or lost either in all likelihood)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You can always reboot and do an uninstall/reinstall if that fails or if it causes the software to fail (if THAT causes the software to fail, I seriously recommend you reconsider your software options immediately)</span>The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-4761681065739960872010-08-03T12:04:00.000-04:002010-08-03T12:04:25.429-04:00Hey - my online career in a nutshell!!

There's been some slacking off lately but I'm thinking now that I've got 2 whole weeks so I will get the house and front yard decorated for Independence Day. Why? Because I live here in the USA where I have more freedom and more opportunity that I personally know what to do with. So here's some things I'm ordering (or already ordered)<br />

<br />
Now let's see what else I found or bought or will buy....<br />
I got some of these from a local friend but you can get them here <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=queenoftheint-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B001AFJNTS&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe><br />
<br />
And I bought this at the fleamarket but I need 3 more (now that I decided to go all out.<br />
..<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=queenoftheint-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B0013KUAOC&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 174px;"></iframe> <align=left><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=queenoftheint-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B0037KM634&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 188px;"></iframe><br />
I like these candles for the walkway and for the tables in the yard but I also put them on my arents graves and my great grandfather, grandfather and 2 uncles graves because they served in combat. Only one died in combat but several of them were Purple Heart recipients and most of them had some kind of wound. Even my mom was a veteran. <br />
<br />
SO... I also need some entertainment.. music preferably<br />
and this looks perfect <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=queenoftheint-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B001BTZOEQ&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 204px;"></iframe><br />

And for now I'm done... (well unless I find something I really, really can't live without.. I was thinking of the red & blue painter's cap.... ummmmm I'll let you know on that.The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-90799816333252999482010-06-10T09:19:00.000-04:002010-06-10T09:19:11.316-04:00How eBay really lost their Mojo & where it wentI was reading this article <a href="http://www.openforum.com/idea-hub/topics/marketing/article/5-marketing-truths-i-wish-id-known-sooner-tim-berry">http://www.openforum.com/idea-hub/topics/marketing/article/5-marketing-truths-i-wish-id-known-sooner-tim-berry</a><br />
<br />
<br />
And got to the #3 "TRUTH" and realized why eBay has lost it's Mojo - for real though. A lot of people have said this, that & the other thing are the reason - HERE is the real reason...read this <br />
<br />
"<em>3. Consistency beats brilliance.</em><br />
<br />
<em>The full form of this one is: better a mediocre marketing plan consistently applied over a few years than a series of brilliant strategies, each lasting months, each contradicting the last one. </em><br />
<br />
<em>That's another one, like the first one here, that I call sad but true. If you define marketing like John Jantsch does, getting people to know, like and trust you, then you have to realize that it takes being the same you – whether that's a personalized company you or a larger company brand – over a long period of time. Every time you reinvent the brand, you start back at zero. </em><br />
<br />
<em>Sure, in real-world marketing you can't keep doing something that isn't working just because it's in your plan. But, on the other hand, with any normal marketing strategy you and your whole team are bored stiff with a marketing strategy long before it begins to make impact on those people you want to reach. You need to give it time. And you need to stick with it until it's not working, not just until you're bored with it. </em><br />
<br />
<em>You can't expect to hit the bullseye with every arrow. You keep trying.</em> "<br />
<br />
<br />
eBay management decided "AUCTIONS" weren't fun any more. None of us who like auctions decided that. MANAGEMENT decided it. I think what they decided really was "eBay doesn't make enough money with JUST auctions" so they are trying to turn the big boat - the SSS QUEEN EBAY around in mid ocean. Guess what? Big ships don't turn on a dime and sometime things fall over board when some nimroad does that with the wheel. <br />
<br />
Notice that one term? MARKETING STRATEGY? eBay has NEVER had an quality, consistent marketing strategy. Heck they never even had a good advertising campaign. We always get these lame slogans and stupid commercials. They've changed directions and sent so many mixed signals NO one can figure out what they are doing. So eBay, I know you're out there....go read that whole article and then pass it around the management "cubicles". That's from AMEX not me so maybe you'll listen...not blinking likely but I can dream.The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-37312040984710577982010-06-08T07:35:00.000-04:002010-06-08T07:35:38.215-04:00June 7 - still an A.S.S to eBay<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPwHxBA_3Hgx56grb1_L0wxkVMD3V5hQumUtj2MNOjvlAxbGP5qiGf_dz89VNKC3FIc6QpLLiYzXp5g29ruculcIjg9quVT6w401W-oj0O9KAqwpgDtmb9FSah7SAPpGlW2sMIGuQXfUc/s1600/ass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPwHxBA_3Hgx56grb1_L0wxkVMD3V5hQumUtj2MNOjvlAxbGP5qiGf_dz89VNKC3FIc6QpLLiYzXp5g29ruculcIjg9quVT6w401W-oj0O9KAqwpgDtmb9FSah7SAPpGlW2sMIGuQXfUc/s320/ass.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I'm still an ASS and eBay either doesn't get how insulting that designation is or doesn't care or more likely, they meant it? Doncha think? I mean any other corporation that depended on US and heard us complaining about being designated A.S.S. (which is supposed to stand for Above Standard Seller) but which just sounds denigrating, would have changed it by now. Above Average Seller or ATR (Almost Top Rated) or "2nd Best" but eBay took a hard line and says TUFF, you're an ASS and we're not changing it no matter how insulting you all think it is - not in exactly those words but with their indifference and Griff's responses that they just didn't thik it was important. <br />
<br />
So? what is a Girl supposed to do?? Me? I'm ordering this shirt - <br />
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160438023544&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT">Proud to be an ASS</a><br />
<br />
Disclaimer - not my shirt (til I order) and not my listing but I think we all need to show up in San Jose in September or in Chicago next month at the Ebay on Locatiion events wearing these. There is power in unity, you know? Look what Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King accomplished with Passive Resistance.

I'm letting 800 MORE listings expire on eBay <br />
I have 8-10 auctions ending per night and 1200 FP listings until last week. I am getting 2-3 sales a WEEK - not a day - A WEEK! <br />
<br />
This place is dead and I'm moving on. I have no more patience for people who tell me to wait. WAIT?? And how am I paying my bills til eBay fixes the DSR system and the Search System and stops disadvantaging NORMAL sellers in search?? <br />
<br />
I have no more patience left for John Donohoe and crew. And if I hear on eBay Radio's chat board one more time that we should be positive, I'm gonna scream.

So I'm over my quota on 1s and 2's. If you haven't gotten any? I'd gladly lend you some. In fact, I'll just donate them outright. Help you self. I have 2 too many in Item as described and 2 too many in shipping costs (cause God knows I overcharge for shipping.. I say that in the confessional every week. BLESS ME FATHER FOR I HAVE SINNED AND CHARGED <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">AWHOLE</span> $2 for HANDLING on items that cost upwards to $400/500.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Ok</span> so what is the deal here eBay? - if I sell 1600 items a year I can be reviewed in 3 mos, right? but I've only sold 1156 so I can't be reviewed for a year?? Guess what?? I ain't gonna make it. In the 2 weeks since you snatched away my incredibly ugly <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">TRS</span> show prize badge, my sales have sunk like a stone. So I won't be here the end of May 2010 let alone in May 2011. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And I'm guessing that, of the 1156 transactions I had who left feedback, the 1150 who were satisfied (and honest, not thieves or <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">scammers</span> like 2 of the other 6) count for less than 2 thieves and 4 disgruntled customers who didn't like the item they bought, for whatever reason. So HELLO CUSTOMERS?? YOU don't count. Only the autograph creep and the book idiot who thought a <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">FACISIMILE</span> copy should be a REAL first edition, count. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just wanted you to know where YOU stand. Me? I'm an A.S.S. and heading towards the door. (don't believe it? while everyone else is piling 40-60 million MORE listings on <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">ebay</span>, I've reduced my numbers from 1400 to 800 and this week another 200 will go bye-bye. )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OH, and I forgot, I said MS65 in a title for a coin that wasn't graded cause I duplicated a listing and forgot to remove that phrase and THAT keeps me from being a <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">TRS</span> no matter what I do sales-wise for the next year. Logical? maybe as a short-term punishment, but for 1 offense of it's type, in 13 yrs, it sure seems heavy-handed to me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yes I'm pissed.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How many people do you know that have left? I can tell you 245,000 have diversified because THEY joined <a href="http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/Twilley"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Bonanzle</span></a> or <a href="http://bethsartnantiques.ecrater.com/"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Ecrater</span></a> or <a href="http://www.addoway.com/bethcherkowsky/storefront"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Addoway</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">BTW, did I mention that I used to buy on eBay? From you, and you and you? and you and you over there in the corner too.

MOBILE LISTING!!1Ok that's some hyperbole up there but really - so many things are now on your cell phone, I've had ebay search for years on a OLD OLD Verizon phone. However, Now I hear that:<br />
<br />
A) Apple's gonna migrate the I-Phone to Verizon (HURRAH!!)<br />
<br />
B) Ebay has an I-Phone selling App. (and one for the classifieds too!) so now I can sell from any where.. Gives a whole new meaning to "I've got a bridge to sell you!". Cause you can take a picture of the bridge and listed it WAY SIMPLE!! This is sooooooooooooooo NEW SCHOOL...not old school... check this out <br />

WHY there??Where do you sell?? (SURVEY SAYS...?)<br />
Ebay<br />
Bonanzle<br />
etsy<br />
ecrater<br />
Amazon<br />
??<br />
your own website?<br />
Ruby Lane<br />
IOffer?<br />
<br />
<br />
Well I ask because I sell on several and I'm always wondering how are you doing elsewhere? Here's MY Report card for February 2010<br />
<br />
eBay - sales picked up on Jan 20 when I finally got the TRS badge. I deserved it before that but it took a poke in the eye to point out to eBay whomever that I had the volume to be rated on a 3 mos basis NOT a 12 mos basis and if they did that, I'd be TRS. so now I am and sales are upp about 10% - which is ok...but I could use them to be back up to the level of last year which was 50% higher than Dec 2009. - I will be watching closely what's happening March 30th when the store listings roll into search. Hopefully I'll sell out quick and be able to pay a bill and go buy more stuff. <br />
<br />
Amazon - I sometimes feel like a red-headed step child there. As a 3p seller and NOT FBA I only get the left over sales. If they are too slow and I've sold something elsewhere and have to cancel a sale...well then I go into "amazon jail" for a month or so. In January I sold 4 things that sold the same day on eBay or Boannzle and so 4 cancellations out of 4 sales...I've been in jail ever since. NOW finally I have 2 sales and I'm feeling the Amazon love again... hopefully it will last this time<br />
<br />
Ecrater - I lvoe this site - since day one I sell a couple of items a month -not big money but always something I least expected. I'm tweaking an additional 300 NEWER listings there at the moment so I'm hoping for a sale bump soon<br />
<br />
Bonanzle... nothing like a ranch - I sell a couple of items a week there these days - nothing big or expensive but hey someone has to buy circus posters and post cards.. And the Bonanzle folks do. doing some tweaking there too....<br />
<br />
IOffer - I quit. I can't stand being nagged to sign in when NOTHING has happend in 4 mos and so I don't sign in for 2 weeks and they nage me every day for another two weeks..DONE! OVER - OUT!! <br />
<br />
My website - <A HREF="http://www.antiquedaze.com">ANTIQUEDAZE</A> is small but growing. Still waiting for my first sale but since I only started in January putting things up and I only have like 40 up there... I'll be patient a long time for this one. I waste more on eBay fees than this whole thing costs me for a year. <br />
<br />
And you?? where are you selling??

Can I still sell on eBay or is the game over?So, can we still make money on eBay or is the game over for us small sellers?<br />
<br />
Personally I'm a little pissed at the moment cause an idiot that read the description and didn't ask any questions, gave me a 1 in the DSR for description because " SHE THOUGHT" the item would be a 3 part mold but "seller didn't say in the listing" DUH do you think she could have emailed? Sure she could have but she wasn't smart enough to. So I'm "dinged" and that ding is going to cost me $40 because I will not qualify for the 20% discount in May. <br />
<br />
Can I sell anything now that she and another person (who NEVER emailed, just dinged) are through and I'm no longer a Top rated Seller - maybe - we'll see...I know one thing. If this was May 21, I'd be delisting items because I wouldn't be dependent on ebay for my very existence. (another income source will kick in). And I'd wait out the 3 months till my stars disappeared altogether. <br />
<br />
eBay keeps saying "educate your buyers" on one hand - like when they don't want to spend the money to do it. But when I try to email them, it's "they are not YOUR buyers, they are "ebay's" buyers. Well eBay Dear, you can't have it both ways. Either I educate them, including to the fact that I sell on my own site. OR you educate them and that includes putting back the interstital page that said you can't leave negative or neutral feed back for 7 days for a powerseller (which I still am). Did you know they took that away?? Well they did and the "seller advocate" washed his hands of it and said, contact ebay. "excuse me? I thought YOU worked there?"<br />
<br />
So my answer is a qualified "maybe" we can still sell there. But seriously the game is in the last quarter and there's no one left on eBay's team who can "pitch". Batter UP!<br />
<br />
Gee thanks Ms Buyer - <br />

Thank you - I don't normally spam but I need the sales. I have 2 bills due this week and need sales.... so Make me an offer! all reasonable offers consideredThe DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-38002033575974819462009-12-14T17:33:00.001-05:002009-12-14T17:35:35.288-05:00A great Promotional ToolSo, a friend was saying he'd bought a digital picture frame and was going to put his feedback in there as a motivational tool to remind himself why he gets up in the morning. And I thought GREAT IDEA. Then I thought, dummy why didn't you think of that. LOL<br />
<br />
While pondering how to manage it when I can't afford a new digital picture frame, along came and eBay deal of the day. Have you seen this?? AWESOME DEALS sometimes, and just wonderful ones on the other days but a digital picture frame, 7" for $39.99..ok. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I can hear your brain whirling going "WHAT is the BIG DEAL?" Well if you're a crafter, or an artist, you can never carry enough stuff to a show. Even antique people can't really but...you could put pictures of ALLL the options ofyour craft what ever it is in pictures, load them into the frame, pack that and WALA!! a craft show in a picture frame.<br />
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-GiiNii-GN702W-7-Digital-Picture-Frame-16-9-Black_W0QQitemZ230411246967QQcategoryZ150044QQcmdZViewItem">Digital Picture Frame</a><br />
<br />
OR as an artist, you could take photos of all your available art work, load those into the picture frame and give it to the gallery to put with your displayed work (don't forget pictures of your business cards, folks) or put it up and an outdoor are show... or in YOUR gallery during "GALLERY TOURS" which are ever popular this time of year.<br />
<br />
A gardener could put up one with pictures of all the stuff available at their home farm stand when setting up at their farmers market place.<br />
<br />
A bakery, florist - you see where I"m going with this??? ANYONE can do this.... <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-GiiNii-GN702W-7-Digital-Picture-Frame-16-9-Black_W0QQitemZ230411246967QQcategoryZ150044QQcmdZViewItem">Digital Picture Frame</a>The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-83532397128509575232009-11-07T10:24:00.000-05:002009-11-07T10:24:01.096-05:00The Savvy Seller: 10 Ways Small eCommerce Sellers Can Compete with the Big Guys<a href="http://thesavvyseller-onlineauctioneducation.blogspot.com/2009/11/10-ways-small-ecommerce-sellers-can.html">The Savvy Seller: 10 Ways Small eCommerce Sellers Can Compete with the Big Guys</a>The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-28146214813106036072009-07-29T19:17:00.003-04:002009-07-29T19:22:26.954-04:00I had noticed for several days that my googlebase feed set up directly thru googlebase wasn't working. (and I have NO faith in ebay's feed) so I was stupified on Monday to hear, on Dave White's eBayandBeyond radioo show on talkshoe.com that eBAY has known since June 30th that it was broke. And they are working on it.<br /><br />Well on the stores board, someone posted a workaround and IT WORKS....so here it is<br /><br /><br />THIS is a workaround that finally worked today when GoogleBase finally got fixed and caught up I guess. I used a workaround from the ebay stores board. The one XXXX XXXX posted didn't work for me (not for lack of trying - I must have tweaked it 20 times) BUT this came from a UK seller, who wrote a little program to pull the feed from ebay UK, and convert the money to USD and push the feed to Googlebase US . And frankly - if he wants a donation thru Paypal I am willing but he hasn't asked for a thing!!<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">START HERE</span></strong><br />Go here - follow the directions (then come back to step 2) http://base.keiths-online-sales-uk.com/GoogleUSall.html<br /><br />Step 2 is to go in and pause your automatic feed on Googlebase (nothing to do with ebay) go to Google, click BASE, click FEED and clicked SCHEDULE - click Pause<br /><br />NOW go back and get the file that this program GOOGLEUSALL created, and use that for a manual upload.<br /><br />Wait 24 hrs and pray and YOU too can get this email of a successful upload.<br /><br />I will wait 24 more hours and do it all again. every day til eBay says THEIR feed is fixed.<br /><br />BTW - I've had a couple of sails this afternoon. So it does make a difference AND this feed pulled 1142 which is ALL my items Fixed Price and BIN. (and the update today pulled 1100 items which is 400 more than ebay was managing)<br /><br />Try it you will like it!The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-61696795880841360092009-07-15T17:06:00.003-04:002009-07-19T13:37:58.751-04:00The eBay Idea of Community died this weekFirst this: <br /><br />July 13, 2009 | 10:31AM PST/PT<br /><br /> <br />Lorrie Norrington <br />Last year, before taking eBay Live! to Chicago, I announced we would be going to Orlando in 2010. Today, I'd like to give you an update on our plans and provide some specifics on how we are evolving the eBay community events.<br /><br />Today, we are announcing eBay: On Location, a new program that will bring eBay fun, learning and networking to cities around the country in 2010. eBay: On Location will kick off in Orlando in February, replacing the previously announced August date for eBay Live! Many sellers and buyers have told us that although eBay Live! is a terrific way to learn and network, they would enjoy more local events that don't require costly travel. eBay: On Location will provide just that - an easier way for you to come together, learn about eBay from experts and each other, network and, of course, celebrate. Our goal is to provide eBay: On Location within a day's drive for as many sellers and buyers as possible. eBay: On Location will deliver a compelling experience that will be easier on your wallet and require less valuable time away from your eBay business. <br /><br />Finally, 2010 is another milestone year for eBay: our 15th anniversary. So what better way to celebrate than to throw a party! That's exactly what we'll do, wrapping up eBay: On Location in August with a 15th anniversary family-friendly event in San Jose, our hometown, to celebrate everything we've accomplished together.<br /><br />We are looking forward to bringing eBay: On Location to a city near you in 2010 and seeing you at our 15th anniversary celebration in San Jose. We are currently planning exact cities and dates following our first event in Orlando in February. So keep an eye on the Announcement Board for further information, and visit www.ebayonlocationevents.com to sign up to receive email updates.<br /><br />All my best,<br />Lorrie Norrington<br />President, eBay Marketplaces<br /><br />Well that wasn't really first. FIRST they took away our email addresses, then our lability to choose WHO we cross-sold with, then our ability to email each other without going thru THEIR stupid message system, then feedback, NOW they took away the birthday party every year. AND so far they've announced 2 venues for the new "regional" ebay onlocation thingees. Wanna bet they go back to Dallas to visit the ebabes? I know several members and I love them to death BUT what about the rest of the country? When are they going to show up in say Minn. ?? or maybe Ohio? or Tenn? or even GOD-FORBID, home state of Penna (we're a big state, they could come anywhere...part is close to Ohio - would make those folks feel more loved. Part is withing a 2 hr train-ride for NY and Delaware and NJ even!! So? So they've never come here. It's like we don't exist. AND NOW???<br /><br />Now they are going to smoooooosh us into a one-size fits all view item page. I never fit in any of them one-size fits all thingee...NEVER since I was 11 and I'm 61 so don't even try it eBay. I ain't doing it cause it ain't fun!!! (thanks Lee Mirabal ebay radio co-host for the inspiration there!)<br /><br />I guess I'm off to work on MY SITE where eBay does not rule. check it out - won't take long as I'm way small potatoes at this time. http://www.antiquedaze.com (BUT I have all the same stuff on Bonanzle that I have on Ebay and it's easier to buy and I can take Google Checkout - HA take that Paypal! http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/twilley - buy something - mention this blog post and get 5% off.The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470084600631040076.post-23002990512936386362009-07-12T22:03:00.001-04:002009-07-12T22:03:37.615-04:00Bookseller's Roundtable Meets on Tuesday 7-14<div>We'll be talking book buying for resale and pricing strategies as well as why it's not worth your time to sell a book for under $10, let alone a lot of books at that price point.

WELL, I just found out that a mutual friend of hers and mine is also selling the same item but in tubs and in a Rosewater scent - which is a very light, delicate floral. SO...if you haven't tried it yet, quick before she's sold out - go to Galleria Gifts and get some. Here's the link.<br /><<br />Now, seriously, here is why I recommend this product. I have VERY VERY VERY VERYVERY dry skin. Sahara Desert dry - Death Valley dry. peels off at a touch dry. Understand? DRY... James Bond only wishs his martini was this dry. And it hurts if I bump my fingers or hand or even my toes. Not just hurts but splits - which takes forever to heal. BUT ...since I started using this Glycerin Therapy, my skin is nowhere near as dry and isn't peeling.<br /><br />Now I don't know the ingredients but I suspect that the handcreams I'd been using has a certain percentage of alcohol as a liquid, purifier etc. And alcohol, even in handcream, dries. That's why it's great for certain types of things but not for hands. SO, try this, you'll like it and I'm sure it will be wonderful on your skin. (and hurry up and buy the rest of the Rosewater scent cause I got that. I want to try Mango and she won't order us any of that til we use up her stock of Rosewater. LOL)The DSRS of our liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08036305227605495092noreply@blogger.com0
