In 2004 a co-worker introduced me to ebay. I could not believe nor understand an auction site. The items and prices were unbelieveable. I would go home and view the site it took a year and some months before I started selling. My wonderful husband thought I was crazy. I sold a lot of my son's gently used clothing which he'd outgrown. I keep hearing you must get a niche well I was using my homemade soap that my mother and I was making. So was my family and friends. As fast as we made the soap bars family and friends would remind us to GIVE them a bar or three. I asked my mother about trying to sell our soap on ebay and she thought about it for a moment and stated hey why not the rest is history. Once I started selling my soap and saw that buyers were really loving it we made more and more. Then our local buyers fuss when we run out which is often. The demand is really unbelieveable.
Recently I left a very stressful career in law. I was a manager of a personal injury department at a law firm. Everything was going outstanding for a while the firm was making a truck load of money and the attorneys were spending it as fast as they could make it. Expensive cars, trips, and an extra home here and there. Well three years ago things began to change and I became very very unhappy with top management procedures and decided it was time for me to follow my passion. I'm not only making soap I'm a freelance paralega which I enjoy! I love my soap bars and I have many ebay customers that love my soap bars including local buyers, family, neighbors, and church members! Like my mother told me create your own income. I not only sell my homemade soap bars but I also sell new and gently used clothing (most top designer) and many antiques vintage items. Don't forget to put me on your favorite seller list!
I would like to say if you're working everyday at something you don't enjoy please find your niche and create a better life style for you and your family. Remember to stay positive and treat people really well. I enjoy selling on ebay and I've met some of the nicest folks I'm looking forward to meeting many more!!
Thanks for reading about me and please visit with me often I'm always listing some great items including my soap bars!
Check out some of my emails from my wonderful buyers:
Hi Tami All I want to say is hold 4 bars of your plain lye soap for me each month. You are right like grandma's but better. I don't itch and it takes care of issues that I've been spending lots of money to do. Thank you thank you thank you.....don't forget my four bars each month.

Hi Miss Tami, I've been buying soap from you for over 2 years. First I thought what does this young person know about making soap then I tried it because it looked so good and you said just try it out not like your grandmother but better and I did. Well my wife,children, sisters and in-laws keep taking my soap because they tried it too. Please save me 10 more bars because my family took my soap that I just brought from you last week and I'm completely out. Best soap and Best price.
Thank you, Sonny
I WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THE SOAP I WILL BE BUYING MORE EDNA

Hi! Received your soap items. Thank you for following up so well. Its so great to find such treasures on ebay. Joyce
Hi Tami I received the soap yesterday and I immediately used it and my skin felt so smooth and buttery soft. You are right about this soap it makes your skin soft and lots of lather/bubbles. Smells good too!! Your soap is the best on ebay and I've tried a lot and a great price. Will be back and thank you for being such a wonderful, honest, and fast shipper....I can't say enough! Will buy again and soon! Thank you very much:):):) Bobbie
Hello Tami - Just got the soap today, and I can't wait to use it. I have left you feedback and ask for you to do same. I would have left more but it said I ran out of room (l0l). You have truly been my best e-bayer thus far, I noticed people do not make contact or even write. You have been a pleasure. Thank you again. Jackie
Thank YOU! It's wonderful soap...I will recommend to my friends and family! Thanks! Mary

Your soap is incrediable I emailed you about my little girl and she had a bad case of ezcema I wasn't sure (lye soap) would work but you said just try it and i did. My little girl skin looks a lot better and she will not let herself run out. She's happy and I'm happy because it has helped her in more ways than I can tell you. Most importantly thank you for letting me try it. Now you have two faithly customers now my wife is using it too so you have three. Thank you for the scented it's just right for me. Thank you very much, Veronon - Whitmire SC
