Most of my friends here know that I sell on ebay. I've been a power seller for about a year now. I'm real proud of that, it took alot of work to become a power seller and it takes lots of work to stay a power seller. Recently Ebay made some changes, they now have Top Rated Sellers too, I planned on being one of them too, plus continue to be a power seller. I just found out that I am now a Top Rated Seller, Hot Damm, WooHoo!!. I haven't been on mylot much lately, I have been spending lots of time on Ebay getting ready for Christmas. Sales have been picking up some. Sales over the summer were almost non existent. Take care my fellow mylotters, have a good night or day. I just had to share my happy news with you, xoxo.

Hi Polly. Well done! I've tried to sell stuff on ebay, and it just ended up costing me money! I've been trying to find wholesalers who make it worth your while to buy from them, but the sites I find want huge membership fees so that you can join to look at their stock, and I don't like joining if I can't see the quality or prices of the things I will be buying! So well done for just even managing to find a wholesaler!
Keep up the good work! :)

Thanks so much for your good wishes. It is alot of work, I have spent many hours sitting in front of my computer. Nothing has been given to me, it is very rewarding to be sucessful on ebay. Good luck if you decide to get back into selling on ebay.

Awwww, thank you so much, Polly! Yeah, I've been here a couple of months now, and I'm enjoying it - most mylotters are lovely!
And I'm intending to get back to ebay, probably in the new year. Hearing from people like yourself who have managed to finally get off the ground with their selling gives confirmation that it can be done! So thank you!
Woo-hoo: this is my 100th post! Maybe now I can manage to get a photo up! Lol! :D

Well I am sorry, here I thought you had left us for your new found love when all the while you were just trying to make a few dollars!!!
I think you should be very proud of yourself selling on Ebay isn't all that easy for anyone who has tried will know by time you pay the shipping and do the work you don't make all that much in a short time. Way to go girlfriend keep up the good work!!!

Thanks so much girlriend. I ain't left all of you, can't get rid of me that way. I haven't been with my new found love for over a week. Busy trying to make the almighty dollar. Christmas season is starting, gotta get ready for that. I have about 35 things for sale. Making the listing takes alot of time, plus researching how much to charge for the item and shipping charges. Its not always easy, plus you have to deal with customers that you never see, that can be tricky at times too. I still love it though, just had to share my becomming a Top Rated Seller with all of you. Plus I make a few extra pennies with a discussion, gotta make the money.

I sell a variety of things, sewing boxes/caddies, different kinds of vacuums, dart boads, curlers, aqua globes, snuggies, sheets, watches, poker table tops. the list is so varied I can't list it all. you just have to keep at it, be fair and honest. Do your research, learn as much as your can. Learn about the fees involved too, try to keep your listing cost down. You can list most anything for 30 days as a buy it now, for 35 cents. Ebay gets you with the final value fees, they can be high. Also ebay has been having a promotion where you can list up to 5 things free in an auction style listing, thats every 30 days. Good luck, it is a lot of work to sell on ebay.

Congratulations! I have not posted anything on ebay in ages! It was just too much for me to maintain without transportation and there were a number of other factors as well.

Congratulations on doing so well on eBay. Both my brother and I've tried, me with no success, him, with growing success, selling on eBay. I've stopped, but my brother is still in to selling golf items and coins. How did your Christmas season go? Well, I hope. Good luck.

Hi Polly dear...congratulations! You must be working very hard to be doing so well. It's wonderful that you are being recognised for your achievements. I wish you would tell us your user name so we can check you out. What sort of things do you sell? Where do you get the things you sell? Do you have a shop?
I hope things continue to go well for you.

Thank you so much my Pink Smiling Friend, as always its nice seeing you. I am grammasmagic over on ebay. I have been working hard. I sell all kinds of stuff, right now I have 37 things listed, I don't even remember all the stuff. I have bought things wholesale and then sold them from my home. Right now I am mostly selling for a company, I have poker supplies, poker table tops, chips, etc. I have vacuums, ride on battery operated cars, collector knives, just odds and ends. Last year in December I did good so I have been busy getting ready for the holiday season this year. Take care.

Wow! You go Polly1. I've thought about trying some affiliate selling on EBay, but I know it takes a lot of work and time to promote it and I've finally gotten my jewelry patterns and some writing sites paying a little. That takes time and work too.
I'm so happy for you that you've made Top Rated Seller on E Bay.

Congratulations, Polly
Ebay indeed sounds interesting. I have only visited the site once or twice when I was looking at bags. I think I will try Ebay again.
Hope to see you around, though.
Keep up the good work!
