Ups & Downs of selling

We have been listing like crazy the last couple weeks. Lots of Mickey Mouse going up but no sales yet. Very frustrating when you think you have some great items to sell but no one is bidding. But we know we have to be patient and wait for that one person to come along. So we just keep listing. Sales of our other items have been steady. Sold some Vintage Concert T-shirts for a good price and some items that we had listed for quiet a while are finally selling.
We did have a problem with an item not getting to Canada when it should have. We were so afraid it was lost in the mail. The postal service kept saying to wait it out. I was really afraid to refund the money to the buyer then find out they ended up getting it. So we waited and the day I was going to refund their money we got an email that they received it. So glad I waited that extra day. Just wonder "Where do the packages go??" When I drop them off at the local post office I know they head up north, Wilmington or Dover then on to Jersey. From there the one to Canada seemed to disappear for weeks. Do they sit in a building somewhere?? Are they sitting on a truck? I really want to find the answer. Some packages only take a couple days to get where they are supposed to go even to Canada. And some take weeks. Really makes no sense to me. The fun of shipping!
We are going to be selling some Barbies for a friends Animal Rescue Group. They are called HAL out of New Jersey. Some one had donated a huge collection of Barbies to them so we have agreed to sell them for them and a large portion of the proceeds will go to there organization which specializes in Cats and finding them wonderful homes. They have even started helping families who have pets with food & vet visits that just cant afford them right now. Its an amazing group of people and we are really excited to help them make some money.
Looking forward to going to a Flea Market in Rehoboth again this weekend. Last month we found some great deals and hoping to come home with some more this weekend!

Trading Assistant on Ebay

What a great day yesterday was! We got our first cold call on being an Ebay Trading Assistant. We went yesterday to see what she had & thinking we would get a box or two. NOPE! She had about 10 big boxes of all Disney Mickey Mouse Items! We were so excited. She was so nice too. We have plush dolls, Lenox figurines, Christmas ornaments, blankets, books, comic strips. You name she has it.
We came home and divided all the stuff up between us. I must admit we were alittle over whelmed. But its going to be fun. We have enough to keep us busy for months.
Hope we can make her some great money & us too!
The month of Feb. was pretty slow but looks like March is picking up nicely. Lots of sales last week. Looking forward to a great spring on Ebay!
