I love eBay!!!

[buddyboyusa]

I love eBay. Been using it for 23 years. Now 78, retired and gives me something to do. Spend on average around 2 to 3 hours a day listing & shipping. I do not get stressed because it is not my primary source of income. I make enough to spend on gas, beer, concerts, minor expenses and nights out with my wife for dinner. It is now more like a hobby , but instead of spending money I can  make money. It gives me something to due to fill the day and I enjoy doing it. I hope all the eBay sellers who are currently struggling with sales have a great productive holiday season. Happy Holidays!

I hope you don't get caught listing items in the wrong category.

     I am pretty much like you but a few years younger but retired and simply do this for something to keep me busy part of the time. One reason I use the auction format is simply because I can list items and pretty much forget about eBay for the time period the auction is running since I don't use OBO on any of my listings. So I post on Sunday, auction runs for 7 days and my week is free to do whatever else I want to do without having to worry about daily monitoring or shipping items. 

     Frankly the carrier services cause me more headaches than eBay. About the only time I cringe a bit is when eBay has an unannounced change or a system glitch. I have always been grateful eBay's IT department is not taking care of our nuclear weapons systems. 🙂

I agree. I do  get stressed over the few negative feedbacks I get or the "Item Not Described" or the occasional buyer return request. It is all good.  Very thankful for an outlet to spend my time and make some money doing it. PS - I read most of your comments on this message board and have become a better seller because of the  information you provide. Thank you for your dedication to help eBay community.
