I don't really have that much to say about eBay anymore. Is that a turn off for you guys? The thing is, most of my business now is coming from personal shopping. I have an average of 5 to 7 projects in any given month, and that makes me just as much money as selling on eBay used to... except it's better, because it's a guarateed sale, whereas with the eBay merchandise I STILL have two pairs of shoes that I'm going to have to pay people to take from me! It's ironic, but now that I'm a Powerseller and have Top Seller status I list half as much as I used to because 75% of the time I buy something it's for someone specific.
The problem with the personal shopping is that I can't talk about it as much as I do eBay. I'm sure people don't want me blabbing about their personal purchases, and besides, going into detail about my projects involves revealing trade secrets about how I do what I do. Yes, I've given you guys tips and the like but it's not the same as telling you exactly where to look for things and how to get them at a discount.
So it struck me as really ironic that this blog is called Not Your Mama's eBay but I never really write about eBay anymore! I'm going to have to think up some eBay-related thing to tell you guys about, otherwise I'll be forced to change the name of my blog. :) Hopefully a few of the things I'm selling this week will atually sell. Maybe they'll sell for a terrible price and THEN I'll have a fun story to share with you. Either that or I'll have to start dipping into my arsenal of personal stories to keep you all around. One way or another I'll have a lot more to talk about next week!

seriously, ebay has been SO crappy lately. i hate their policies, the buyers remorse disguised as SNAD, and their exorbitant fees!
Things haven't been so bad for me. I accept returns so I've never had a SNAD. I've had a few non-paying bidders but it hasn't been bad enough to bug me. It's just a TON of work though, and I can't always be sure I'm going to make a profit.
