Of the summer doldrums?

Everyone says after Labor Day it gets better -- so is this it? Please say yes!

YES!! ... I hope....

My auctions are getting more hits/bids now, so I am crossing my fingers and hoping it isn't just a fluke.

I have been doing well with BIN. I only started using it last week, and found very positive results so far. Hopefully this keeps up!

I've had plenty of action all summer long.

I guess it depends what you sell?

I certainly hope so.

I'm done messing with piddly stuff. I'm pulling out some of the big guns starting TONIGHT.
I hope to capture the people who are visiting and their idea of a good time is perusing eBay.
You know yourself when you get weekend guests...their always curiuos about the internet and eBay. And ALWAYS they have to end up showing them how to bid

Sounds good to me!

Yes, I am getting many more hits now and in the last two weeks only had one auction end without a bid, where as this summer I averaged 4-5 auctions per two weeks end without bids...so I would say YES time to list hot and heavy and just hope the economy is recovering.

This is one of my best months since selling. I am mostly using the BIN and I have had auctions end and merchandise at buyers door in 4 days. Love that...If it continues I will be able to walk in my ebay room with ease. Is it to early to sell christmas items yet?

I had a few bin items as well ( very nice prices for me but I made a mistake on one and put a BIN price that was too low~ ) and I am thinking of going back to listing all my stuff that I can get on as I think the summer is ending and regardless of the economy people will be spending more time on online and buying more! now that summer is over.

YES ~ my ebay sales have picked up BIG TIME over the last week and a half !!

I sell mostly gently used & vintage clothing on ebay. I think more & more shoppers are turning towards the internet to purchase clothing at great prices instead of running to the mall and paying higher prices there !!

Hey ~ they get a personal tailor .... most ebay clothing sellers give the measurements for each garmet, I always do .... no catalogue shopping basic size chart and everyone knows each label runs differently & who wants to have to lug all the clothes into a dressing room and try on !!

The economy might be bad and stores will be closing but I think ebay shopping will be here to stay ~ hooray
