$2000 in debt in ebay fees and online fees? With no sales? :o idjit. Sorry, but no sympathy. This person obviously can't walk away from the slot machine. [/quote] I agree! On the other hand, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Some people sell stuff for .25 and stick to the story that they are making money. At least this person has finalllllllly seen the light. |

people who claim to be doing great on eBay. [/quote] I've discovered the definition of what "doing great on eBay" actually means. 2 of the 15 topics on the front page of SRG today were: OT: Finally Got A Job ! OT: help with job application/email Both posts appeared to be from full-time sellers who were being forced to give up being full-time and get a second job because eBay sales aren't what they used to be. [quote author=Anita link=topic=4344.msg17547#msg17547 date=1152737734] [quote author=stardust link=topic=4344.msg17538#msg17538 date=1152724268] $2000 in debt in ebay fees and online fees? With no sales? :o idjit. Sorry, but no sympathy. This person obviously can't walk away from the slot machine. [/quote] I agree! On the other hand, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Some people sell stuff for .25 and stick to the story that they are making money. At least this person has finalllllllly seen the light. [/quote] They think they're making money because they only look at their sales numbers--until it's too late and their credit cards are maxed out and the debt collectors are knocking on the door. I'm sure if that seller asked on the stores board (or on the Marty board) what she should do, the answer would be the same as it always is when someone in a similar situation asks "you need to list more items" "buy a template" "take new pictures" "don't close your store" bla, bla, bla. That seller should stop listing and take some time to develop a better business strategy/plan. Playing with her template or listing more items isn't going to turn a plan that isn't working profitable. |
