Ebay

I have been busy ebaying all day.  It's been a couple of years since I did ebay seriously and a lot has changed in that time.  It's much harder to make a profit because their fees have increased quite a bit. It is also much harder to find things to sell since the economy is so crappy.  Although people are still buying, everyone is looking for a bargain where in the past bidding wars would drive up the price of your item like crazy.  There are so many big box stores like Toys R Us selling on ebay now also which hurts the small, individual seller.  I am going to give it a try this year and I hope I make a decent profit because not only do I need Christmas money, and cruise money, and wedding present money but December is a LONG pay period. It's is really hard trying to stretch a paycheck for 6 weeks that usually just covers four.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm ready for the selling madness to begin!

You know I had a thought - what if you post what you are selling on Facebook - and your friends might want to purchase from you? I have been thinking about doing the same. I have found some great deals at the consignments and thrifts on clothing - AE, Hollister, Eddie Bauer. Ya never know?!

Now that is a great idea! I might just have to try that!
