Hi, I'm Val in real-life and val2525 on eBay. I have a furbaby, orange cat named Hootie. I sell plus size clothes and also have a bookkeeping/quickbooks consulting biz when I'm not messing with eBay. I'm hoping this year to branch out to 2 non-eBay loctions, but that won't be until after tax season. And yes, my avatar does match my car. Lime green.

Great to see so many familiar faces here. I'm Shirley, I sell on ebay under shirley-u-geste-southwest. I am a CCL (crazy cat lady) and have 6 fur kids of various sizes, ages and colors. So you will see me posting a lot in Critter Corner. I'm currently just hanging around the house because I had a hip replacement a week ago and they won't let me out yet. But once it's healed I will be back to thrifting, selling and running around town like crazy. If you have any questions about how the board works just send me a message and I will be happy to help. Oh, I forgot to add I am an Avatar maker addict. The darn thing is so much fun I make changes to mine on a daily basis.

Thanks zoesam for the invite. I made it. I love a new board to checkout and meet new/old friends on. I am not currently a seller but I sold from 1998 to 2006 or so. I walked away when sellers could no longer leave negative feedback. That wasn't my deciding factor but I was frustrated with the sellers pricing their inventory too low and driving down prices to where it was no longer as profitable as it had been for me. I did a cost/benefit analysis and ebay came out on the losing end. I do tax accounting and work for a CPA but I am not one, lol. I have 6 cockatiels, one husband and one son. I am glad to be here and now I will poke around and see what it is all about and find an avatar. Kathy

I'm Zoe & I live in my beautiful adopted state of Colorado! Or as the bumper sticker says, "Not native but I got here as fast as I could". I am married & we are childfree by choice. I am a CDL (crazy dog lady) but without one right now. I'm been on EBAY since 1998, but only seriously for 5 years or so.

I'm Elly, a CAL (Crazy Animal Lady) living in a chaotic household (8 of us including the two cats) in VA. Been selling since 2007, have known some of you since I found the CAB in 2008. I'm currently a part time seller as well as a part time caregiver/companion for my sister who has had one health issue after another since Aug. A couple of them pretty serious. But things are turning around for her now and I'm hoping to get back to a heavy part time/almost full time status by spring. I also do some freelance work for an old boss.
This year my goal is to get back to, and maintain, a few hundred listings, and branch out in both selling sites and selling categories.

I'm Terri. Been selling for about 10 years. Have one dog (cat passed away last July). Have a daughter and two sons, who are all out of the house. Went from feast to famine as the two boys moved out within a couple months of each other this past summer/fall. Husband retired about a year ago. He's MUCH older than I am. LOL. Actually he's only six years older, but he retired a little earlier than most due to job elimination.
I was born and spent the first 25 years of my life in suburban Chicago. Hopped aboard the company transfer train a year after I got married and we left Chicago in 1985. Lived in the Sacramento area (Roseville) for 3 years, then Dallas/Ft. Worth area (Colleyville) for 8 years. Moved to Connecticut in 1996 and have been here ever since. Family is all still in the Chicago area, so I go back to visit several times a year.
Just have to say that I love actually being able to see everyone's avatar photos, versus the indefinite blobs of the smaller avatars on the other forums. It's a whole new world! Allikat, I always thought you were sitting in a wingback chair with an animal on your lap. LOL.

Hi! I'm Shop*a*Frolic on eBay, Stephanie or Steph in real life. I've been selling on ebay for about 16 years now, full time for most of it. I have two grown daughters (one in college) and two grand daughters, one of whom lives with me about half the time. I also have a DH who is self employed and works crazy hours and a doofy dog who I sort of inherited from dd1. Thanks for adding me!

I was sitting in a restaurant drinking a margarita, I do have waist/butt length hair which probably is what looked like an animal, lol. I have now switched it because I was playing with the avatar maker.

Hi, everyone! It's Zoe from Belle Curve Thanks to Terri for the invite over here. I work full time and sell part time on eBay...though lately both 'jobs' are running me full time, LOL! I live with my fantastic boyfriend in a 2-story home we freshly remodeled, and we're working on getting a pet or two into the home soon. I sell mostly plus size and big men's clothing, though I'll sell any clothing in any size for men or women if there's good ROI on it. Hoping to take eBay to full time in the next coming year, as I had a really good 9months this past year and for only being able to devote part-time to it, it was a GOOD year! I also sew, make flower garlands for my local medieval faire, and various other crafts that have been on hold for about the last year and a half that I'd like to get back into doing. Here's to hoping eBay full time will allow me the freedom to get back to all of the things I love Nice to see familiar faces over here already!

I was surprised and a tad suspicious when I received two invitations to this forum. Didn't know whether they were spam or whether the other place had been hacked. Thank you to Zoesam and Classring for the invitations.
I'm Connie aka Titus730. I've been a seller on eBay since 1998 and have also sold on other venues (anyone remember Yahoo auctions?).

"My name is Jeremy Don't try to scare me You want to get tough, oh please, spare me"
Sorry, that was part of a rap that I wrote for my posse back in the day. Anyway...
Yeah, Jeremy. Proud father of 4 absolutely incredible children that I would walk to the ends of the Earth and back for carrying the weight of the entire universe on my shoulders.
I've sold on eBay off and on since the late 90s, but have only recently started back a couple years ago. I've gone from clothing to my current products; stamps, postal history, collectibles, etc.
I love all things trivia and have a lot of useless information in my head. I am very logical, not that emotionally driven, but I cry at almost anything that is remotely sad in the movies or online. Also, I'm hot.
No seriously, I'm wearing a sweater and the heat is on.
Now where did I put my gum?

I’m Moonlit. I have been hanging around this fabulous group since I started posting on the eBay CAB around 4 years ago. My best friend, business partner, entire family, and roommate are all one person (i.e. “Mom”) I started online selling with books on Amazon and Half. Now we sell women’s readymade clothing on eBay and some original designs on Etsy. I generally have an air of flustered exhaustion. I have a cat. I think I have eaten all the chocolate in the house. My toes are cold. That pretty much covers me.

Hi my name is Diana and I am an ebay seller. I started selling on a joint account before most listings had photos, lol. In the last ten or so years this has been a big part of our income and the up's and down's have take their toll. Still here despite all of it and I have learned a lot. Hoping to become a more savvy, techie and wiser seller with your help. Our family consist of me, my loving husband of over 30 years and at this time 2 dogs and one cat. I am hoping to be with kitten this spring , we helped my elderly and ailing cat cross the rainbow bridge in early fall and i think i am ready for the pitterpatter of little paws. I do have two ebay accounts and one etsy account, hoping to branch out to help the flow of income.

I'm Erika. I've been selling on ebay since 2001. I worked for awhile out of the home as an office manager, but I've been back to selling FT for almost 2 years now and I don't plan on having to get another out of the home job for as long as I can help it. I have 4 kids - Colin (14), Lia (12), TJ (7), and Evangeline/Eva (2). They keep me pretty busy. Eva is my sidekick and accompanies me to the bins several times a week. She loves it and usually asks me every morning "We goin' to the bins today?" We have one pet cat, Mika (pronounced like Micah), who is the basis for my ebay name. We live in SE PA, about a mile from the Delaware border.
