Going Once, Going Twice, Going Lots of times...SOLD!
In March of this year, I decided to try my hand at eBay to see if I could get anything for the many clothing items that my kids have so quickly either grown out of or tired of.
Wasn't really sure about how it all worked. For how much should I price my items? Should I offer Free shipping or should I charge shipping? How many days should I list the items?
So many unknowns.
What I found over time was that I had to sell the way that I wanted to sell and not worry about how other people on eBay were selling their items.
I mean really...I can't get into their minds to figure out how they came up with the price that they wanted to charge, etc.,etc. So it was just easier to "eBay MY way".
One thing that eBay'ing has taught me is to be patient and not give up. Case in point...just TODAY, I sold a shirt (pictured here) that I've been relisting since March.
I'd list it, relist it and relist it again. Finally, my persistence paid off.
That listing taught me a lesson (and if you know me well, I find a lesson in pretty much EVERYTHING).
I've learned that I'm going to need that same persistence in many other areas of my life...this blog, my career search, weight loss, love. Yes, I'm going to have to be persistent in order to get the things I desire. And you know what...I will!
Let the DIALOGUE begin! What have you been persistent with? Has that thing come to fruition yet, or are you still waiting?
Talk to me!
Til next time...
