Looks like I need to go make an Avatar, I don't like the bald look. I was so excited to see everyone, I also forgot my intro. I'm Donna, I've been selling on Ebay since almost the beginning under various IDs. I'm a widow and do this full time.

Hi and thanks to the admins for the invite.
I am a 38-year-old woman with the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy. I live in rural N California with the BF, one old dog and one geriatric cat. My username is just something dumb from a podcast I listen to a lot, and it really makes me sound like the Cali girl I am.
I have bought on eBay since 1998. Sold for a time in the mid 2000's and found the CAB about 8 years ago looking for answers while I was running an eBay store for the antique dealer I worked for. I have mostly lurked, asked a few questions, tried to help where I can and have *very gratefully* gleaned plenty of useful info.
Two years ago I bought a consignment clothing store and as a lifelong thrifter/garage-saler/bargain hunter/cheapskate I've found it really fits.
I also just want to say that this is a really nice group that I greatly enjoy being included in!

I dont want to assume everyone knows me since we do have some new people around here. I am Aimee. I have been selling on Ebay now 7 years this spring. I have been an active member on the old CAB board, then on the ebayclothingsellers board and now here.
Despite the fact that it appears so, I do not have a spelling problem. I have a typing problem. Luckily for me, most everyone has adapted and can figure out what I am saying.
People call me mup. Or mud. It is a nicknames I earned on the old CAB when another boardie kept calling me that as an insult. Instead of being insulted, I embraced it.
WElcome to all new members!

Hi! I'm Erin. Thanks so much for the invite! I absolutely love reading (and occasionally posting on) these boards. I've learned so much from so many of you. I'm 36 and have been married for almost 14 years. We live in St. Petersburg, FL and have three boys, ages 9, 7, and 1, as well as one tabby cat named Gordon. I quit my corporate job 5 years ago and have been selling on ebay for around 4 years, but really started trying to ramp it up last year. I currently have around 950 items in my inventory and would love to get to at least double that. I'm just starting to branch out into selling on Shophers and Tradesy, thanks to some of the helpful advice given by other boardies. Looking forward to this year and growing my little business even more.

Kim, she’s radiant! (And she looks so much like you!) I am so glad to hear that the school problems were cleared up and that she is obviously thriving.

Hi! I'm Liz. I've been selling PT, on and off on eBay, for nearly 13 years now. I have seen the ups and downs of eBay, and try to just keep a positive attitude thru it all and simply push on the best I can. So far, it's worked for me. I also have a small full time gig in the Air Force I've been married to my soulmate for nearly 21 years and we have an 18yo who recently left for college, a 12 yo who keeps us both on our toes and a 7yo german shepherd who acts like my 12yo's twin, only harrier. Harry-er. ? Know what else is cool? I'm also practically zoesam's neighbor Why didnt I know you are in Colorado? Or did I? And why havent we met up yet?

Hello everyone!
Annikafashionista,just going to use Annika here for now.
I am a part-time EBAY seller (and on the CAB) since 2012. I admire all of the full-time sellers that I have come to know through the boards. I don't think I could ever convert this to a full time job but it is good to have the knowledge in case I ever need to fall back on it. Right now I enjoy the thrill of the hunt,, shopping portion the most.
I live in the greater Jacksonville,Fl area with DH ,DD 11 and 2 dogs(greyhound and cattledog)

Hi everyone! Thanks for the acceptance, and thank you, Classring, for the invite! I'm Elizabeth in RL and discountdiva78 on ebay. Not married but have been with the BF for 18 years. No kids, but we have 3 dogs (Skeeter (beagle), Ava (doberman) and Emma (English Muffin (mastiff, teehee). We have a little male stray kitty who hangs out in our barn aka his bacherlor pad. I think he likes us! I've been selling on ebay for about 8 years, clothing exclusive for the past 4. Some day when I can retire from the RL tax accounting job, I would love to have a dog rescue center. And do ebay for fun!

Hi, everyone! Nice to be here with all of you and thank you for the invite. I think it was classring who invited me. Anyway, I'm Karen in RL, karsue128 on ebay. I was a teacher when I first started selling so it was a part time thing back then. Now I'm retired and I do this more or less full time. I have 2 grown children, a son who is 33, unmarried, and a daughter who is 30, married with 2 children. My granddaughter is 8 1/2 and my grandson is 5. My husband has 3 children, all grown and married and there are 4 grandchildren. The newest addition is only 4 months old and we all love him to pieces. I still babysit on average 1 day a week for my daughter's kids, but that will end in Sept. when the little guy starts full day kindergarten. I volunteer at a thrift store approx. 16 hours a week. I really enjoy being busy. We live near the shore area of southern NJ.

Hi, I'm Diane in real life and mysweetjoey on ebay and the boards.
I just had fun making the avatar ! I live in Santa Cruz, California and have a nice, old (1886) small home with my significant matey, Ken We have a large yard, with room for 5 felines and 4 chickens. Neither one of us has children - by choice.
I am semi retired, and have been so most of my life, thank goodness. It hasn't been easy, but I believe one should make the most of, and enjoy each day. I've been selling and buying on ebay since 2001, ( I think ) ...... it's a good way to recycle my stuff, as I am rather fickle.
I like the look of this board, and hopefully will have time to visit it. I'll be pretty busy for a while, making hats, listing a bit, selling at a fair next weekend... and taking a little train ride - 7 1/2 hours! to Simi Valley to help my sister move, again.

Hello and glad to join this board. Next, need to figure out how to make an avatar. My nickname is Bib. I have been acquiring inventory for 6 months in preparation for selling on eBay. Living in the Chicago area and thrifting on the "North Shore" can be pretty tempting and satisfying so I need to temper my enthusiasm a bit, at least until I make the leap into listing and selling.
The boards have been a good education for certain aspects of the selling experience but it is time for me slow down on the photography and Photoshop lessons soon and get my feet wet.
20+ years ago I sold vintage and antique clothing, textiles and and buttons have been involved in textiles and fibers in one way or another, including owning a weaving shop, most of my life. Looking forward to learning more and contributing wherever I can.

Hello Everyone With a little guidance from Alliebean I found my way here. I recognize many of you from the original clothing board on eBay in it various forms, assorted off eBay boards and forums and some "friends of friends" on facebook. I've been selling on eBay since 1999 on different ids and for different purposes ranging from hobby to part-time to full-time to I GIVE UP and then starting all over again. I just can't seem to break away. I'm looking forward to getting re-acquainted with so many of you and "meeting" the new-to-me members.

Hi folks! I wondered where everybody was on the other board - I guess I should check my messages once in a while : . I'm Kel, live by myself in Southern California. I've been on Ebay since 1997, selling since 2009. I posted a little bit on the other board. I sell part time, and I also have a shop on Etsy that is not clothing related. This looks like a nice, busy forum - I'm about to check out the "Forum Tips & Tricks" section, then look around. So glad I found everyone again!
