Monday Checkin April 13

[Deleted]

Good Monday morning gang!  Well, it's Monday here, anyway.  

Did you know today is the birthday of our third president, Thomas Jefferson?  And he had an opinion on fashion and style?  According to President Jefferson, “on matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock.”   Jefferson also said, "nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.”  Sounds like Jefferson might have made a pretty good eBay seller!

Here's hoping this week goes well and Monday starts off great.  And to brighten your Monday just a bit….





What are your eBay plans for today or this week?

So far, my Monday has started off with a big bang...and a good one at that, after escalating a return "request" and winning it! 

Now, it's time to list, list, list...only got up a dozen or so listings in the past week.

The weather is cooperating today. It is supposed to be beautiful all day, 72 degrees and sunny! That always makes my day better!

I went to work this morning and they sent me home...something about being sick and not wanting to affect the entire call center. I'm not sure, I really couldn't understand what my trainer said through this horrible head cold and constant coughing

It's okay though, because she said she was going to release me on my own today and it can happen tomorrow instead.

I have 50 or so pieces ready to list for the week. I wanted to list yesterday, but my pics kept failing in SYI. So annoying. I hope to do a few every night this week so I don't have a huge pile over the weekend. Weekends are getting busy with the nice weather so ebay keeps taking a back seat.

It's nice to know that you're working somewhere that respects their employees enough to send sick ones home.

Finally feeling a bit better after 4 days of illness. Going up to 78 degrees today, but will stay in and list.
Kind of forgot (put out of my mind) about the May 1 changes, so I am now listing about 100 skeins of yarn now, before I get charged for each listing.
Will meet 4 pals for dinner tonight for a late b-day celeb.

Yeah, I went in SO they could send me home. I didn't want to call in sick. I'd rather THEY made that decision

Colder and windy here today with occasional rain.

Just as glad that I can't go outside so I'm just catching up on the board and blowing bubbles for the cats.

Sorry you are under the weather Jeremy, take care of yourself and get some rest.

We got a frog strangler move through here late last night so it would be a good time to get the mulch down but I need to go to the post office and Costco so mulching will wait.

So much to do, so little time.

(((Hanging head in shame))) I'm doing our taxes today... probably for the next 3 days. DH's business stuff will take forever! But I Iust got my figures out of Outright or Goddaddy Bookkeeping... whatever it's called now. That's some of the best money I spend all year! Since DH is using paypal now, I may sign him up for the service too. ANYTHING to simplify my job. Well, back to it- hope you all get tons listed and sell even more!!

I need someone to give me a shove! I am SO not motivated today. It seems like I fell into a black hole since this stupid return for color case came up...1 sale and that's not even paid for yet!   I even got chastised (a little) by the CSR this morning. He told me my pics were great but I need to use all 12 photos allowed and use different colored backgrounds. Ding dong poopy-head! (Pardon my language! )

I will TRY to get some new listings up, I promise!

12 photos?  For every listing?  How much time are we supposed to spend on this?

[RetroMonde]

Different colored backgrounds? I thought they wanted a white background whenever possible.

[sunsetpainter]

  I have a case open for INAD for color and he seemed to think I needed to photograph my items in every possible light situation on different colored backgrounds!  Really???  They need to concentrate more on idgit liar buyers!

[Pantlandia]

I did just get just under 50 items listed, hopefully that will make up for lost wages.

This past weekend, when I was looking for things to buy, I looked at quite a few listings that did just that - same picture, different backgrounds. My guess is eBay likes it because if affects Google searches (Google does pick up a lot of eBay pics on items when you look on the images tab). OTOH, as a buyer, it's sort of annoying.
