Busy Day in eBayland

I think I went a little overboard with the inventory.  The bad thing about having this eBay business is that it gives me a good excuse to go shopping, which I get an HUGE rush from.  You know that first Shopaholic book?  That is so me.  I had completely weened myself off the shopping but now I get to do it because it MAKES me money. :)  Anyway, went back to the secret supplier today (read: pusher!) and got three more pairs of shoes.  I couldn't resist, they were GIVING them away!  Here are a few more pictures of the things I'll be listing tonight:


I would usually wait to list these things throughout the week but eBay is offering free auction style listings, and today is the last day to take advantage of the promotion.  This is an obscure fact that only eBay sellers know but eBay gives auctions higher visibility over Buy It Now items, but charges higher fees for listing auctions that start high.  It's a catch-22: if you want buyers to see your item and pay fewer fees you have to list them for a very low price and risk taking a loss.  Meanwhile, if you list at a fixed price you minimize your risk of taking a loss but maximize your risk of not selling your item, since fewer buyers will see it.  Needless to say, I will be taking FULL advantage of eBay's promotion tonight!
