According to the article:

"eBay is big
With 114 million registered users -- 48 million of those being active eBayers who have bid, bought, or listed with eBay over the past year..."

Well that didn't work.
What did I do wrong? I'm going over to that other thread where you were teaching someone how to do this. Wish me luck!

url not img. Also, you have to put the / in front of the ending url.

Edit the letter "L" out of html. It should be htm.

Another question. Is there a way to make my pictures smaller when I post them?

Heck fire - I don't even know what it is!

Your image editing software probably has a way to make them smaller.

The glaze looks like Frankoma, but I think they marked everything they made. I've never seen a piece of unmarked Frankoma, but it's possible a few could have slipped through. Are there any chips or glaze flecks that will allow you to see the color of the clay?

Hi epoweryourlife

Your picture editing software can size it smaller as Lucy said, or another way is to add .mids/ to the url of your Vendio pic and then you get this size.

Hey, the economy can't be that bad, I mean look at all those garage sales going on out there. Garage sales aren't included in the economic statistics......... and Ketchup is a vegetable too.....

eBay has proven to be a great business for eBay. It created many millionaires from its stock options, but not one millionaire was crerated by using its service.

I was listening to an economic reporter last week who was discussing the rise in small businesses. He pointed out that while that is encouraging, it is misleading a bit, since many of them are not and will not be successful, and a large majority are outlets for people who cannot find employment, and would gladly give up their "business" if they could. Many small eBayers are also not selling by choice, but by economic necessity. While eBay is great for helping them ease their financial bind, or helping them do some work from home, it is not really encouraging. In the old days, flea market participation was way up in bad times because while not profitable enough for most, it was better than nothing at all.

Anyway, you know the old saying ...lies, damn lies and statistics...

There is no glaze on the bottom. Yes, it does look like the Frankoma color of clay. Kindof orangey.
Thanks!

Ummm...That's not Epower's auction you're looking at. This one ends shortly and the piece is marked. So Classic, she still needs to heed your warning and use spellcheck when she lists it or Ebay will nuke it on a typo
