From sellers POV
I have to say that whenever I've had a yard sale, I've been surprised by what sells and what doesn't. Last time I had a sale, all the knick-knack tacky things went like hotcakes, and my quality stuff sat! Another time, it was all about the big items, like furniture. Musical instruments and tools always sell. Be sure that everything is priced and you have your display well planned out. The early birds will be standing in your driveway wanting to be the first in. I put up yellow caution tape until I'm ready to start the sale, and I start getting my stuff out at 6:00 a.m. The first two hours are the most productive, and I shut everything down by noon.
Good luck!
Any Ebayers here (sellers)?
I listed several items on ebay for the first time a few days ago. Surprisingly, I have more than 30 items...most are things I had around the house. Folks are bidding on some of the items, so I opened an 'Ebay store' today.
Anybody else sell on ebay? What is your average monthly profit?
"The Party" with Peter Sellers. None funnier. Not a well known movie, but hysterical. nm

Go to Ebay
Type in Busch Gardens Coupons and there was one on there for the Williamsburg area.
Don't buy them on eBay. sm
You can make a poodle skirt from felt. You will have to approximate your daughter's waist measurements, but a poodle skirt is basically a full circle with a zipper and a waistband. Since you make it from felt, you don't need to do a hem or anything like that. If you buy 72" felt, no seams at all are needed.
Then use the same pattern to make the petticoats. Get really stiff nylon netting and make a drawstring waistband. Make it maybe a couple of inches shorter than the skirt and presto...instant poodle skirt. Then you make a poodle out of white or whatever color you want and some fancy braid and you are good to go.
Hope this helps.
Ebay Question
I need some opinions here. I won something on Sunday and paid immediately thru PayPal as the auction stated. I posted a comment to please let me know when the item shipped because I wanted to make sure I was home. I didn't hear back yesterday, so I emailed the person directly. I STILL haven't heard back. When do you think I should contact ebay and find out whats' up, or should I try and contact her one more time? My credit card has been charged already and I hate it that there is no communication.
My ebay experience
I supported myself on ebay while going to school for MT. It was great back then (2001). I have a few things on ebay now and hardly anyone looks. (handmade jewelry, stocking stuffers for kids, just small stuff). Much different than it used to be. I think it's too big.
Check ebay
I found six copies on ebay, that may be one of the few ways to get new movies on VHS anymore.
I purchase a lot on Ebay and always get sm
as described. In fact, I negotiated with a seller last Thursday for a pair of headphones for my son and got them today. Of course, I will probably have a not so good experience in the future, but chin up, most sellers are honest and reliable.
I did check ebay......SM
several times; i keep hoping i'll find them, that someone will decide to sell what they have. i think it actually is a new pattern that just came out this year, so whoever has them may not decide to get rid of them this soon, but i'm going to keep checking! i am also going to check out their website. thanks very much!
Did you check eBay?
That's the first place I check when I'm looking for something like that. I also just did a quick search on Amazon and they have American Girl things, too.
ebay problem...sm
I bought a Tabers Medical Dictionary the newest edition for $20 plus shipping on ebay. I paid for it over a week ago. I haven't gotten it yet. I have emailed the seller and I have gotten his phone # from ebay. He does not reply to emails and I can't reach him on the phone. What the heck should I do? I want my dictionary.
Contact Ebay again.
It may just be delayed shipping with all the holiday rush. I haven't shipped anything this year but in the past the post office has told me they don't guarantee the same as normal.
I went on ebay and it directed me to ...sm
paypal resolution center. I had to give transaction ID and a statement of what happened. The seller has 10 days to respond and if not then I can file a paypal claim and they will review and possibly take the money out his account and return it. I have tried to email this seller repeatedly. I have even gotten a phone # from ebay to contact him. I left a message with my phone # on anwering machine. I have heard no response back.
eBay rules....sm
state that sellers have up to 30 days to ship items once they're paid for.... just as buyers have up to 30 days to pay UNLESS it's posted otherwise in the original listing. My guess is that with the holidays the seller has gone away for a few days. Furthermore eBay/PayPal won't open an investigation until it's been 30 days past the day of the sale.
I go on ebay sprees every now and then - sm
usually odd stuff, some designer silk stuff now and then, goals for me to reach if I ever lose the weight I need to. I tend to shop when I get stressed, down, etc, but try hard not to as it has gotten me in trouble in the past. Just bought one of those Thane steam mops on line, only $40 (that is total with shipping)---used, but hey a lot better than the $99 they go for new. Been wanting one for a while but DH would kill me if I spent $100 on one, so went this route, he will be PO'd enough about $40 but happy if the floors get cleaned on a more regular basis of course.
eBay policy states.....sm
that the sender has 30 days to send the product. If they don't or can't prove they sent it then you can file a complaint with eBay, and they'll check with the seller who will have to either prove they sent the item (i.e. provide postal information with confirmation #s, insurance information, etc) or the seller will have to refund the money. They do tell you that if the seller has "disappeared" that they may not be able to get the money back; however, at the same time they will block them from selling again. My husband & I have bought a lot of stuff on ebay as well as sold a lot. We always ship within 72 hours and most items we've won we've received with a week. I did have one purchase that the seller kept coming up with excuses for not sending it until the 30 days came and eBay contacted her to ship it or else and she finally sent it... but she did refund my shipping fees because of the aggravation and she wasn't asked to do that.
EBAY/PAYPAL QUESTION sm
I recently bought something off of ebay. I signed up for paypal and put my charge card through paypal. It kept telling me they were having technical problems to try later. I emailed the seller three times asking if she got the payment because I did not want to double pay (I was hoping she was honest) and never heard from her. Is there a way for me to check if it took through paypal.
Could go on eBay and see what similar bracelets are going for, or
the books on collectibles/antiques in Barnes and Noble or Waldenbooks, etc., too. Lots of books on identifying and pricing of old jewlery, bracelets, old plastics, etc. You could have Lucite or you might even have some pieces of Bakelite, both collectible and very cool! Start with an ebay search and see where it takes you. Good luck. NM
I personally think they are expensive and you would be better off going through Ebay...

EBAY QUESTION POSSIBLE FRAUD sm
I bought something on ebay for $12.00. I got the notice saying your charge card will be charged. It has been 10 days and the seller has not emailed to tell me when it will be shipped. I have emailed her once a day for 10 days with no response. How do you report this to Ebay so I don't get charged?
Thanks.
You contact first the seller on ebay
and then ebay directly if it is not resolved.
I just got a Scrabble game on EBay
We play Scrabble each holiday - kinda got a contest going on. We have been through 2 regular games but thought it would be great to have the turntable. I decided to check Ebay 2 weeks ago and one had an hour left on the bid and I won the bid for $19 w/ S&H. There was one tile gone but they told me ahead of time about that which is n problem really as we had all the tiles from the old game and they fit just fine. Bought an egg timer at the dollar store and looking forward to this year's game fest. Good for you playing a board game with the grandkids. Teaches them a little spelling subliminally too.
Update: Just sold for $299 on Ebay
if you can get your hands on one they are selling like hotcakes!!
Report it to EBay. Did you use PayPal to
pay for it?? If so, maybe they can cancel the payment.
Just did a quick check on ebay
On the completed listings from June 27, there were 16,806 items up for sale (not all sold). Off the Wall and Thriller albums (combined) sold for $62. Thriller alone sold for $55.
On the active items, there are 41,102 items up for sale! Off the Wall and Thriller (combined) is up to $202. Each single item is selling for $60-$80. It's crazy. A lot of these items are owned privately, but those that have a business dealing with music, posters, etc. would have to pay a royalty on those items to the estate.
Oh, yeah, one crazy seller was trying to sell a 45 record for $300! No takers.
1950s paint-by-numbers on Ebay (sm)
I just gave a quick look-see and I found everything ranging from $5 to $30. Who knew?!
you can get MREs on ebay...they're supposed to be a lot better than they were
right
Go to eBay help and type in item not received
it will then give you an option to file a claim.
I get my professional strength ones on ebay for really cheap
They are less than $5 and are the same exact stuff they use in the dentist office. I have been using them for years and everyone tells me that I have the nicest teeth.
have you ever bought something off of Ebay & it didn't work...
so you try to get the company to take it back by lying and saying that it was a gift? You don't have the receipt because it was a gift, when it fact it wasn't a gift, you bought it broke and second hand.
eBay is great for extra income...
and also to get things on the cheap. I haven't done it in months so can't really you a monthly amount, but looking forward to getting back into. Good luck to you.
I love my Coach purse too - bought it on Ebay! nm

Check eBay. I am a doll collector and restorer on the side sm
I am also into reborning, though I have yet to have any to ebay. I tend to do very personalized custom dolls. I also sew doll clothing, but I chose not to do that this year because I have not had the right kind of time.
Save my email address because I will start to have some doll clothing next year when I am no longer on hiatus. I had to take the time off because I am landscape painting this fall, now I feel badly I can't help you!
There are some really cool vintage muumuus on eBay, all kinds of styles and prints. nm

Did you try Replacements Limited to search for your pattern pieces? Or even an eBay search? ..sm
Replacements Limited has been very helpful to me in the past. If you're determined to paint your own, go into Michael's and check through all their paints for those made especially for glass and ceramics. You'll end up having to hand wash and dry your item since the paint can't be fired on, but it should work, even if you have to keep touching it up as the years go buy. But do a search first and maybe you'll get lucky that way! :)
I would sell it on ebay, it would sell like -sm
a hotcake! Then possibly he could donate half of the money to a charity he likes and keep the other half as his prize for the contest, best of both worlds. This way he could maybe get himself a couple games with the money.
