Hi! My name is Sandy and I have been an eBay member for a long time, but I only recently started buying. I've been buying scrunchies, scarves, scarf clips, brooches, stick pins, perfume, purses, beads, buttons. Also lace and satin and organza flowers for adding to hats and purses, and wool to make those hats and purses with.
I wear only purple. But there are many different purples. There are purple purples, blue purples, pink purples, red purples, brown purples, and grey purples. Purple is the most versatile color there is.
So naturally all my accessories have to be in the purple color range. It can be anywhere from plum or grape or lavender or lilac, to blueberry and sky blue and royal blue (on the blue side of purple), to raspberry and hot pink and maroon (on the pink side of purple). Whew!
I rent a storage unit two blocks away from my house. They accept ALL shipments for me. From US Postal Service, UPS, FedEx... If it needs a signature or not doesn't matter. They place all packages in my unit for me, and I can go in and pick my packages up from 6am to 10pm any day of the year. (The office itself is open M-F 930am-6pm, and on weekends for somewhat shorter hours.) Most of their locations have at least one eBayer, and my location did not have one until I came along. They were kind of embarrased about that, so they were very happy to get me! And there is plenty of room in my 5x5 unit for old books and magazines and clothes and whatnot, that I am not ready to get rid of yet. They are awesome, and have been a godsend to me!
I am thinking of selling, but I am not ready yet. I have a full-time day job, and a long commute. I will be eligible to retire in about 3 years. So I am doing my research starting now. I guess you can see that I am not one to jump into things too fast!
I am getting a little closer to selling now. I have purchased my very own postal scale, and also some envelopes and labels. Those have not arrived yet, I just paid for them today. I have a variety of books I have purchased over the last few months about eBay and PayPal. Most of them are those "Dummies" books, and they are very good.
There is also a lot of information on eBay, so check it out. They have classes as well, so take advantage of everything you can get ahold of.
I have also spoken to many of my sellers, and they have provided much useful information. All the sellers that I have asked questions of have been very friendly and helpful. Their information has been the best of all, so don't be afraid to ask them questions.
A very big thank you to all my wonderful sellers from all over the world! For answering my questions, for being friendly and patient with me, for sending me quality products, and for the fast shipping. Check out my feedback and you will find some really nice people selling some really great products. Enjoy shopping!!!
