Judging from the beat-up state of those packages, they appear to be simply purchases rather than sales... or does that matter? (and that padded envelope at lower left looks like it's gotten torn as well... not the USPS' finest hour... )

I think I'm going to give it a go since I've had a tremendously successful week so far and my eBay bill is clear. Oh happy days. 😉

Agreed. Some have printed labels, one has stamps and some postage was purchased at the counter.

Hello, and thank you for posting this!

Can we .. or should we ..

use the same photograph and description for each week?

Or is it better to totally redo it weekly?

Thanks,

Lynn

According to the rules Alan posted, it is about How you’re making it happen with eBay for the holidays”

So I guess that could mean selling and/or buying.

Hi @18704d, 

We love seeing new photographs! I recommend submitting new photos. I do think it's possible to enter the same photo each week and win. So, it's up to you! 

Best of luck!

Thanks to Alan for posting a link to the rules. It's a random drawing, not a judged competition, so you could presumably keep banging away with the same photo until your entry is drawn. Good luck!

Ref: https://community.ebay.com/t5/About-the-Community/Official-Rules-for-MakingItHappen-Show-Sell-Win-sw...

One entry per person per day; entries for one week do not carry over to the next.

I see your point, one might think that, but judging by the prizes, a trip to Ebay Open, Seller Consultation, shipping supplies, etc., I would say it is geared toward sellers. JMO

Someone should re-use Amazon boxes!  Stuff would likely get delivered faster too!
