Setting up my eBay Store

Boy, the holidays are here and seriously interfering with the time I have to spend doing business!

Since I work at home, and since I’m “only” at the computer, there shouldn’t be a problem with interruptions, right? Sure, I’ve been saying for a year that I’m working, but since I have nothing tangible to show for that work, well… It is my own fault for taking such a long time to research and play around with what I might want to do.

Hah! They’ll see when I drive up in my new car! Well, one of these days.

So on to the real stuff.

I have been listing on eBay, but not in the quantity I’d hoped. I had a total of 27 items listed, sold six, and relisted the other 21, but they didn’t sell the second time so decided it was time to go ahead and open an eBay store. I can list those books that didn’t sell for 30 days for 6 cents each and I can add featured and fixed price items. Well, I can as soon as I figure out how.

I know millions of people use eBay quite successfully, but I find their instructions beyond the basic “here’s how to sell” and “here’s how to buy” to be confusing and insufficient at times. I’m probably trying to over-complicate things, which seems to be my way.

I did finally get a newsletter out to my cookbook subscribers. Had a few unsubscribe, but I still have 100 or so who stayed with me. I need to get some more messages written and into the autoresponder - and figure out what to try to sell. The ChefJudi web page just won’t come together for me, so that needs a lot of attention, as well.

Focus, roll up my sleeves, perservere…

 Almost forgot. My next stop is the resources page to clean it up and add some new stuff. Be sure to take a look.
