Hi there! It has been a bit since my last blog post so thanks for hangin' in there. We have been so busy it just seems like there is not enough time in the day to get all of the things done that we would like to. Ever feel that way....I know I do! This post is here to offer a bit of help if you are an eBayer with questions that you can't seem to find the answers to or you just don't have time to look.
Whether you are an experienced eBayer or someone who is just starting, questions are always popping up and finding the answer can be a bit tough at times. The idea for this blog post came about because a few of the vendors in my Antique Mall are just delving into the world of eBay and came in asking a few questions that I did not have the answers to. Since they are new and eBay has changed so much since we started selling, the obstacles they were trying to overcome were ones that I have not dealt with for many years. BUT ALAS! I knew where to lead them for help and that is what I am going to do. So hang on tight, get ready to open a few new links and meet some great and knowledge filled people! Be sure to check out the bottom where I am adding several more helpful links!eBay is a wonderful community that we have had the pleasure of being a part of for over 6 years now. It has supplemented our income and led us to take it on full time. I have had the wonderful opportunity to find some groups online, and to even meet some of them in person, that I highly recommend. They are always there to answer questions, vent about customers with whom we do not always see eye to eye (we all have those in every business!), and to offer a helping hand when one needs it.
The eBay Site Map is a GODSEND and should be in your bookmarks!
First let me introduce Danna Crawford founder of the Power Selling Mom Network. This is a lady whom I greatly admire and who has given me some wonderful advice. She invited me to be apart of something that we are getting ready to launch....I PROMISE, Danna, but that is for another blog post! Anyway, back to Danna. She is the founder of two great sites, just to name a few, that are sure to be of help to you. The first one is The Power Of The eBay Community and the second is AskDanna.com. Danna is patient and kind and just has a WEALTH of eBay knowledge that she can share with you in a funny and delightful way.
There is a great group that I am a part of on Facebook and it is Working eBay-Tips and Conversations and it just that. The topics are varied and is a great place to learn and vent both. Here is a blurb from their about page on Facebook that says it all: Working sales on eBay, what we are all about, sharing ideas, issues, basic to advanced, we are all in the same eBay boat with one listing at a time. So if you have a questions, idea or how do I, whether a beginning seller or one with years of experience....Simply stated, we're here to help each other. Check them out and ask any questions you may have!
These are just a few of the great people and places that you can find answers so take a little time, bookmark this blog and the pages in it. Like the Facebook pages and join the groups....it is a great way to learn! By meeting new people, the problems that we think are at times insurmountable become small instead! Remember! You are not the first to have that question nor will you be the last!
Here are a few more info links to help you out! And the mugs to your right are me, Kris, and my husband Sean!eBay Selling 101 by Danna Crawford
