Hi All,

I just opened an Ebay store and added the Vendio gallery this morning. Since I am trying desperately to generate sales so I don't have to look for a normal job. Can anyone give me a little helpful hint to utilize these features? I just hired a high school girl who types quickly and is working out very nicely so far.

thank you for any help,
Rosanne

NOT NORMAL???!!!! Who says Ebay isn't a "normal" job???!!! And Ebayers are the MOST NORMAL people on this earth!!! Especially Vendonians ... Just ask Jack.

Just kidding. The only suggestion that I have is to list list list. If ya don't list, ya can't sell.

IN EVERY LISTING, have a LINK or BUTTON that directs folks BACK to your STORE!

IOW: I have 10 DEPARTMENTS in my store...Let's say I'm selling WIDGET A out of DEPT "HOUSEHOLD THINGYS" ...

That listing for WIDGET A has a clickable BUTTON directing the buyer to my store's DEPARTMENT "HOUSEHOLD THINGYS" like so:

"FOR MORE GREAT DEALS ON "HOUSEHOLD THINGYS," CLICK HERE & VISIT RALPHIE'S NEW EBAY STORE"

THUS: I've been able to decrease my regular listings by 75%, but I've INCREASED my SALES by at least 50%, PLUS decreased my fees by a whopping 50%

12 months ago, I was worried I'd have to abandon my little feeBay hobby, as the FEES were KILLING me-&-Ralphie!

THE STORE has turned EVERYTHING around DELIGHTFULLY!

Hi Diane & Tom,
Thank you both and Diane, LMAO about the normal crack. Should I have said "Regular" job?
I need to kick butt on getting listings in there.

Tom,
I think that I have a love match for Ralphie. My neighbor just brought home a sweet BT girl who is basically all white with the black patches. She looks like a little Jersey Cow. She is so sweet and such a good girl for her young age.

thanks again,
rosanne

Diane - I do that too. TO list through Vendio, I have a "pending listing" with the link prefilled in.

When I want to list, I go to the "Pending" control panel, do a ctrl-f to find my listing (I have all 50 states plus foregin countries and some cities postcards linked), "Copy", and then edit the COpy for the new listing (it's great because categories are already selected - all on one page) and schedule or launch.

Oh yeah!

During his Disco period, Ralphie was known as: The L-O-V-E Machine...

Unfortunately, due to a sneaky Veternarian encounter, all his relationships now are strictly PLATONIC...



I bet she's a CUTIE! They are such funny little creatures! NTM: big SNORERS!
