3 weeks before CHRISTMAS, how's your business
 

i guess everyone's getting pretty busy with their business now. finally the season's coming. i personally kinda of working overload already.. how about your business?

i could be doing SO much better if it wasnt for them dam 21 day holds im struggling to keep up now :( as i need some of the funds

Yeah...i feel ya on the 21 day hold problem...HUGE COCKBLOCK!

I would be making big bucks if I had some more established accounts to work with. I'm stuck making around $100 a week in fear of getting limited for being too successful too fast.

well just make another 1-2 accounts to double/triple the income and so on

Working on it! Already running three though.

i would say $200 a week should be no problems on each pp

Althought it better than previous months , but compare to last year, it so worse.

Same here. Slowest season in a good 8 years. I blame my products too. I should have used the slower summer to find something that would move. The buck being par sucks ass too. That extra 10 points or so was always a nice cushion to play with.

I am doing great on amazon made 1000.00 in 4 days!
and the money is rolling in! cant wait to go to vegas to blow my cash on strippers!

I love chinnese made products.
Stupid ebay limited me 2 days ago i went 6 accounts already i got 2 left.
I am staring new ones later this week.

xfishx...don't think this won't happen w/ Amazon too. Unless its a NOT SO KNOWN VER0....

But just make a few accounts as backups...then you'll be good.

lmao . :D

Quite good, not as good as last year.

i was too lazy too update my website and listings in the last couple of months and now i have to do that very quick. also having some problem with the inventory...

Business really sucks this Christmas - way down from the last few years. I think in my case its because of increased competition in my product line.

The current selling limit is killing me, so this Christmas the sales really suck you know what!

eBay going along ok but my first love Az is killing me all of a sudden with blocks so...whatever I guess.

Stiff finger to pp as I have successfully gotten around you right now and am happy ha

Well, I AM selling VERO and I love it. The $ is great, the 21 day hold is annoying but manageable, the ebay selling limit is killing me.

staying steady no super big money. Have 8 accounts and 8 waiting in the wings for after the holiday..

It's good. About 50-70 sales per day. But I spread out across many many accounts.

That sounds like a movie plot for "Scrooge 2". Stealing stuff from the homeless to sell it at huge profits. :clap: :D

Just kidding. ;)

Ya just usually gotta assume the underwritten with 1K of profits in 3 days.

I do agree VER0 is a pain in the a-hole!

I keep getting Ebay emails telling me to pay 579.32 in ebay selling fees i replied that they have to wait 21 days before i release their funds!

The Even called me!
I told them the same thing!
They said my account will Now be Suspended i replied:Its O.K i have Other accounts you do Not know about!
I Love ebay selling and Not paying fees makes me feel good!

This is KILLING me too. :(

PP exchange sucks. $500 USD = $488 CAD today :(

Hey did you guys hear about the cyber attack on Paypal?

Pretty much sucks this year. I'm actually going to take a break from ebay for awhile. It was nice for awhile but jumping through hoops to make an extra $100 bucks here and there just isnt worth it to me. Spending hours on the computer, not spending time with my family, etc.

Also, buyers have been asking for alot of returns recently and its killing me. I've been selling the same items for over 2 years with no problems and the last few months buyers are just too hard to please. Not to mention the 21 day hold is bad enough. I contantly have only $500 held and buyers wont leave feedback, if it one thing its another with ebay.

I need a break. eBay just isn't what it used to be anymore.

Giving up is totally Un-American!
Get back on your High Horse and ride out into the Sunset with bags of ebay Cash!

I'm not giving up, I'm sure I'll be back, but I need a break for a little bit. I'm sure when I start again a bunch of crap will have changed.

Its not, no. Its more work then ever. There are times I ask myself if its worth the hassle too

I'm just building a thicker shell everyday. What would have sent me into a rage a couple years ago is nothing now. I say "whatever" more and more all the time now

I used to work out what was best financially in a bad situation. Now I work out what takes the least effort to move on....

^^^best advice for people thinking there are millions in eBay the EASY WAY!
