eBay Store Set Up

I’m slowly working through getting my eBay store set up. For some reason, I’m having a hard time focusing on all the tasks. I need to set up some categories and get some books into them. Looking at the to-do list is exhausting! Oh well, I’m rolling up my sleeves.

 Take a look at our SmilingPartners Store. It uses one of eBay’s store templates. I’m not sure I’ll need to change it much. The idea is to get people there to look at and buy the books. That’s probably contrary to the guru advice :-)

I did finally take the time to look around TurboLister and found the way to list my items diectly to the store. It’s amazing the information you can find if you just take the time to look.

Oh, almost forgot. I got this link for an eBay guide full of research on the kinds of things to sell you might find in your own house or for cheap at garage/yard sales. It’s free for signup, just go here: http://www.overlookedtreasure.com. The author says he’ll be doing updates, so I think it’s well worth checking out his newsletter. If you’ve tried researching items and trends on eBay, you’ll know how tedious it can be. And if you don’t have a specific category or item, you can spend hours just wandering around the site. Interesting, but not always productive. LOL.

There’s a giveaway starting Dec. 1st, 12 Days of Christmas. Unlike most giveaways, this one adds gifts throughout the giveaway, rather than presenting you with pages of downloads, and I’m pretty sure it lasts more than just the 12 days. I got some excellent stuff from last year’s presentation.

That’s it for today. As always, be sure to take a look at the resources page. I’ve added some new opportunities.

Now I have two tasks checked off my list (a newsletter mailing is the other completed thing). On to those other 8 things.
