Testing a s+h feature right now on ebay!

I have known it was there all along but have never tried using it.

When listing an item for sale on ebay you have a few choices when it comes to shipping and the shipping cost you have your buyer pay. I have alway chosen the option of a flat rate price and then select the shipping method that I think would be best.

Now I am trying out something new for me. It's called the calculated method. You set the starting price for your item like normal. Then for the s+h section you choose the calculator method. This lets the buyer or future bidder type in their zip code and have a s+h price show up. This eliminates emails asking how to ship it here or there etc.

You can also add a certain dollar amount above the regular shipping cost so that you make some profit from the s+h. I think this will be very helpful to buyers and let me spend more time listing items and less time responding to emails asking how much the s+h would be to whatever state.

Here goes!

Now selling 44 items with 9 Antique Paintings, prints etc.!

Just finished listing nine wonderful antique paintings and prints, from watercolor, to pastel and everything in-between!

Very well known artists and most with signatures. The shipping is based on your location and the weight. I found a nice trick to let your future buyers find out about the s+h costs. What you have to do is leave the s+h box empty, in other words, you do not choose a shipping option. This puts the words "see item description" next to your item when people search for it.

This is a great way for people not toget scared away by the s+h price before they know exactly what they are buying by reading your description :)

Enjoy!

Yay for me!

Just hit the 300 mark for feedback on ebay! It's quite an accomplishment to have wjile still keeping my 100% feedback score. I have been having so much fun on ebay....you need to join and start having some fun there as well!

PayPal and the USPS...ugh!

I hope this gets fixed ASAP! Starting 2 days ago I have been unable to print shipping labels from the PayPal site via USPS! They say you will get your money refunded which is great but they have no information about why it's down or how long until it will be fixed.

I called PayPal and they said to call USPS. So I did. USPS gave me the typical answer of "call PayPal, everything looks fine here". I waited 20 minutes and tried the shipping feature again with no luck. I called back USPS and a guy told me they were having some issues right now but it would be fixed within2-3 hours. OK great! Well not really...

Still as of this morning I am unable to print shipping labels the way I have been doing for over a year! I just hope this get resolved soon because if not it means I have to make a thousand trips to the post office and wait in line! That's why I loved using it, you could walk right up to the front of the line and drop off your package(s) and leave, now that's nice!

Another big day for listing!

I think today is gonna be a big day for me listing a ton of great items on ebay. I have about 10 antique paintings and pictures to sell in addition to the normal things like kids clothes and toys.

I'll post some slideshow photos of some of my items here in a little while. I have already relisted the few things that did not sell this past week. I think I'm having a lot of great sales with ebay; listed close to 90 items and only had to relist 30! YAY!

If your not selling on ebay you better get started and rake in some of that money. Remember, Halloween is just around the corner and ebay is a great place to shop for dress up clothes and other Halloween items!

Bye for now :)

I can't believe it's time to start buying Christmas stuff and hiding it until the big day!

Information regarding the newest toy recall

In the latest recall, Mattel instructs people to go to its Web site (www.service.mattel.com) to establish whether they own an affected toy. Click the link Here!

Mattel said the playsets affected by the latest recall were produced by Holder Plastic Company, a Mattel contract vendor, which subcontracted the painting of miniature toy pets and small furniture pieces to Dong Lian Fa and Yip Sing.

The two companies used uncertified paint and are no longer producing toys for Mattel, the toymaker said.

In total there are 522,000 U.S. toys and 322,000 toys outside of the United States that are being recalled. The toys were shipped between August 3, 2006, and July 31, 2007 according to Mattel.

More recalls from Mattel - over 800,00 toys!

Another toy recall from huge toy maker Mattel that again has do with Chinese made toys because they may contain too much lead in their paint.

The latest recall now involves a Fisher-price toy as well as accessories to a Barbie playset and covers several hundred thousand units according to the Associated Press today, September 5th, 2007.

This is another sad story to the already alarming sadness of millions of toys being recalled by Mattel because of lead paint and loose magnets. It is said that the Barbie playsets were sold from November 2006 until last month, and the Fisher-Price toy was sold from July 2006 until yesterday!

Please be aware of what you have purchased from ebay and other stores due to this important recall. This is going to make it very hard to buy toys for our childeren, but hopefully it will be a huge wake up call to have more products made here in the USA that follow strict guidelines and quality standards.

Here are the latest affected products on the recall list to date:

-Barbie Table and Chairs Kitchen Playset

-Barbie Bathtub and Toilet Playset

-Barbie Living Room Playset

-Barbie Desk and Chair Bedroom Playset

-Fisher-Price Geotrax Rail and Road System Freightway Transport

You can search for kids clothes here!

You can run a search for "kids clothes" on this ebay search box! Very cool I know!

Hope you find some great stuff!

More of my listings!!!

I love the free image listings!

I have so been taking advantage of the free image listngs on ebay. Normally it will cost you .20 cents to list an item at .99 cents or less and .35 cents to add an image of the item next to the text about it. Now, it costs you only .35 cents to list any item with a staring bid of $9.99 or less with an image! How cool!

Have a glance at what I have for sale on Ebay:

Shopping...

I will be going shopping for more items to list on Ebay later today. I hope I find some great stuff to list for all of you! A little trick I like to do is go shopping at older shops in older communities. I find more cool items in the places where most people would never think to go to.By the way, always ask the shop keeper if they have anything in the back that they haven't put on display yet, this can get you first dibs on some nice things!

Have a great holiday today and start bidding on the stuff I already have listed on Ebay lol

Bye!
