Sunday, August 28,2011


This week I have come across a wonderful site on Facebook - it is  The Power of the eBay Community. It is amazing the topics that come up and the well thought out answers. If you sell on eBay you might want to give it a try.


I have really been busy with eBay this week. I filled out all of the paperwork to become a Trading Assistant and can now sell your "stuff" for you on eBay.
In addition, I am listing some items that I have never considered listing before with a short explanation of why I decided to list those particular items. Today, I listed 4 different new items:



2 pack eco friendly tote bags with both shoulder and hand handles  I am always searching for eco friendly ways to support our global environment. These bold black & white patterned bags look chic and will blend with anything that you happen to be wearing. I also love that they do not have any store names or advertising and have a wide 10" bottom. These bags should easily handle many of the bulky items that don't fit most bags.





312 Individual Lipton Tea Bags  On a shopping tour for my family in my small hometown I was amazed at the price that they were asking for 1 box of 100 Lipton Tea Bags. Having recently bought a 3 box package at Sam's Club I knew that I was paying almost as much for 1 box of 100 as I had just paid for 3 boxes with 312 individual tea bags. Have you ever tried to make 1 simple cup of hot tea using 1 of the gallon  bags?? Let's just say "It does not work very well!" so I paid the exorbinant price for 1 box. I now ship boxs of tea (both Lipton black pekoe tea and organic green tea) to my family in small town America.
The "big city" experience that made the biggest impression on me was ordering hot tea at a nice (starched white tablecloths & napkins) restaurant. The waiter brought a beautiful wooden box (similar to a silverware chest) to our table and opened it to present their varieties of Bigelow teas in their individual foil packages. I was so impressed that I have always felt a little "partial" to Bigelow teas. I can purchase 1 box of 100 for basically the same that I would pay for a small fancy box in the grocery store.


Premium Bigelow Organic Green Tea Bags





Crystal Light On The Go Drink Mix


My son just returned from a 1 year deployment in Iraq. They were provided with all of the bottled water that they could possibly drink. He quickly found that he enjoyed the water much more if he occasionally had some flavored drink mix to add to a bottle of water. This variety pack worked out to be the best because it included 4 different flavors.
Other family members have also enjoyed having the different flavors in their bottles of water.




Take this opportunity to visit my eBay store to check out the newly added items.


I hope all of you are safe from the weather - whether your area has extremely high temperatures (110 degrees here today) or recovering from the effects of Hurricane Irene.



Have a great week.
