eBook Covers: eBay Blog Post: Oct 5, 2006

eBook Covers are FUN to Create!

Today I learned how to master making ebook Covers!
I have it down to a science now after lots of practice!

I will be busy creating covers to the many ebooks I have saved and will be putting into my store! It will indeed be a big project for me.

I have set a goal to set up at least 2 a day.
Since I have so many other items to list I thought 2 a day would be reasonable!

I try to set selling goals for myself every day.
I am the type that If I do not have a plan or a goal, then next thing I know POOF my day has disappeared.

Some distractions can add to not meeting goals,
but there are exceptions to every rule!

This will be the topic of my new Guide for today!

For now, here are some of the ebook covers I have designed!
I started an auction to sell this COVER CREATOR and I put some in my store with BUY IT NOW for those that don't want to bid.

They are fun for sure:



Nigeria Scams: eBay Blog Post Oct. 9, 2006

Stop a SCAMMER Today!

Good Morning eBay Land!

I have decided to make a post to use as a reference for the many email/questions I get about the "Nigeria Scam".

It's getting crazy with so much of it going on.
Almost every eBay member has gotten one of these crazy notices at least once.
NOW, with the Holidays coming, GET READY eBay Land because the
Scams are going to get Bigger and Better.

Protect yourself NOW!

Prepare yourself!

There are many desperate people trying to make "fast Bucks" for the holidays.
AND keep in mind, they won't ALL be from Nigeria.

STAY ALERT my friends.


Consider this the HIGHEST Alert time for Schemers.

This post will be a reference place to send customers asking questions about these issues.
I have researched information and have it all posted here in one area.

And remember:
WHEN IN DOUBT, Change your Password .. QUICK!
Never click links through emails.
Go to a Bookmarked page in YOUR computer that links direct to eBay.
Visit "Your Ebay" see if you have any messages.
REPORT all Nigeria type messages.
If you did get it through the eBay system, CLICK FORWARD.
Forward it to yourself.
Then open your email.
Include the header/footer and FORWARD the entire email to:
spoof@ebay.com

HERE are the Guides I have found that others have written about this issue:

Love that man!
Anyhow, Grandma said they all needed SOAP in their mouth,, lol

Then, Once back home I did manage to get another Vintage clothing Box lot of 45 items listed this time. And this one has 2 Hawaiian Shirts in it! wooo-hooo!

eBay Blog Post October 16, 2006

Have You seen : Isabellas_Gift_World




Isabella has been gracious enough to give me permission
to TALK ABOUT HER! :-)

If you do not believe me, please view her Blog
Because it is TRUE .
I have it in typing as proof!
Keep in mind if you look at her BLOG there was a SPOOK problem,
but I rebuked it so that is over now :-)

Let's talk about Isabella and her Store!!!!

I had fun looking around her store and WOW, she sure has some GREAT STUFF!
I am going to offer her some TIPS to help with sales AND I am NOT perfect, I do NOT know "know it all" I am just lending some TIPS that I FEEL would help with sales.
Take them or leave them ...... Its ok!

One ear, out the other or
one eye, out the other, same thing,, lol

For now,
Lets all take a look and SEE how we can help and OFFER
some FREINDLY EBAY COMMUNITY ADVICE
to help a fellow eBayer!


...................................................
My tips are :::
First off, I am wondering why you are using UPS instead of USPS?
Your shipping rates could be so much cheaper.
Now if some of your items are drop-shipped and thats the terms then I understand,
but items like clothing , I think your shipping rates are a bit high.


Looking at GIRLS SIze 12 mos, REEBOK Rainwear with hood. Item number: 180034385832
I would suggest including a MAKE ME AN OFFER tab in addition to your buy it now price.

I also think it is important to keep a POSATIVE to follow a NEGATIVE. Same thing with raising a child as we all know .. SAY SOMETHING GOOD after saying something NOT SO GOOD,, lol
Example from your listing ::

his little raincoat was worn only one season and it is in good condition. It has 2 tiny little flaws, but I had to look really good to see them, but I want to point them out anyway! First is a tiny tiny hole in the netted mesh on the inside and the other has a very slight tear on the neck of the hood. This garment is in really good condition and has lots of wear in it yet! It would make a great addition to any little girls wardrobe.

I would word it:
Worn only a few times.
Small hairline tear on the neck & pin hole marking on the mesh,
NOTHING MAJOR but just needed to mention.
Has LOTS of wear left and the COLORS are BOLD and CLEAN!
NO rips, NO STAINS, NO SEAM SPLITS!
SMOKE FREE and READY TO SHIP!

.......................................
Can you guys see the feel that gives when you add things like NO RIPS, no stains, or whatever NO 's you can add THE BETTER!
.........................

Get the customer EXCITED, make them WANT to buy it!
Show some ENTHUSIASM about what you are selling!

.....................................
TOO MUCH TYPING in mono-tone style working,
Makes it go on and on and on and on
and ARE YOU A WAKE STILL?? LOL

.................................

ok about your NEW items .. I think you are using the words:
BRAND NEW too much.
I think NIB or NWT are key search words:
NIB = New In Box and NWT= New with Tags.
By using those types of words , you will have MORE ROOM to give more KEY WORDS on your title line:
Example:
You wrote :

Brand_New_Spa_Bath-Set-with _Slippers and Basket

...............................

if I were selling it , I would write:

MINT ~ NWT~ SPA Slipper Set w/GIFT Basket
or,
Elegant Ladies SPA Gift Set SLIPPERS ++ NWT
................. just to give you an idea

You can get attention: CAPS, no caps CAPS make those KEY WORDS stand OUT without paying for BOLD :-)

....................................................

Ok, hope all that helps!
everyone jump in with tips for Isabella!
Check out her store!!!!
She has some FANTASTIC ITEMS FOR SURE!!!
Isabellas_Gift_World

..................................................................



New_Blue_Baby_Soft_Gift_Basket_Set_with_stuffed_Animal


ONE MORE,, I just saw this one!
I think its too many words like that,

I would word it SOMETHING like:
NEW Baby Boy GIFT Set PERFECT for the NEW Arrival!

AND, i think you have it in the WRONG CATEGORY , PUT IT IN THE BABY SECTION!

................................ ok, i gotta STOP now ..

My Wall of Fame: eBay Blog Post October 17, 2006

Paypal Did Refund Me!




Wow, I just woke up!
Was worn out today from all that shipping I did and Thank God my Grandma was OK. Poor thing, I have to tuck her in at night to put up her Guard Rail so she don't fall out of bed.

After all that stress with paypal today, I just checked my account and they did indeed credit my account for all those shipping labels that did not print!
It had added up over a hundred bucks too!
Happy paypal pulled through!
Sometimes it just takes patience I guess!

Back to bed!

Sweet Dreams!


MILK: eBay Blog Post October 23 , 2006

___ MILK ___



MY Goodness!
I went to the corner to get a gallon of milk and it cost $4.14 !!!

IS THAT CRAZY OR WHAT????

All I could think about is how in the WORLD are the single parent's making ends meet?

If they are paying for GAS to drive the kids around, making minimum wage and then a gallon of milk a day like most people with kids go through,
HOW can they make ends meet???

When my kids were small we went through a Gallon of milk a DAY easily!

How much is milk in YOUR area of the woods?

I said to the clerk, WHAT Florida has NO COWS we have to import it from France or something??? Will Milk become a luxury item now?

I bet many are going without or they have to ration the milk drinking in the house because of the price.
Makes me sick to think about children going without milk.

What can we do about it?
Any ideas LET ME KNOW I will be a part of this protest!

................. COMMENTS left:

Depending on where you shop, milk is between $1.99 and $4.99 here. Also depends on what KIND of milk you get, as we have a few specialty dairies in the area that sell their own milk in the local grocery stores.

...........................................................

Here in Ohio milk is still pretty cheap. I can get a gallon of milk at walmart for about $2.48 and every couple of weeks Meijer has milk on sale for $1.99 a gallon. When I lived in Virginia milk was close to $4 a gallon and never went on sale.

..............................................................

danna
At the corner Store , ALL Gallons of Milk were that price. I bought 2% and it was the same as whole or skim too. Sometimes I was told we can get it at Walgreens for $2.49 but I dont live by one. AND if thats the case, why can't all stores be reasonable about the price? Makes me mad that they can get away with it!

........................................................................

I'm in the dairy state, surrounded by dairy farms, and our generic milk is up around $3-something a gallon. Rediculous!

................................................................

danna
No kidding??? Then it MUST be Florida cows then......... geeesh
Oct-23-06 08:37:42 PDT

........................................................

In NJ there is a special program for low-income parents, to help with food essentials like milk.

..............................................................

danna
You live by the dairy and still have to pay that much?
Oct-23-06 08:38:15 PDT

danna
But, even the low income, if they DO HAVE income of some sort, they do not qualify for the programs. Well I know that WIC program is pretty good for those with SMALL children but what about those with TEENS??? A growing boy will drink a gallon a day just by himself,, lol
Oct-23-06 08:40:07 PDT


....................................................

Our milk in TX is around $3.60 - $3.99
