Oh, summer, how I love you. Yard sales, blueberries, Big Brother. And yet, the days are slipping by in a jumble of park play dates and soccer and swimming lessons, and I am not accomplishing anywhere near what I think I should. Is it just me, or is it just life?
I made my listing goal for July, though! It was a low listing goal, and I made it with only two hours to spare, but I still consider it a win. July was decent to me sales-wise. I had sales every day, and even had one double-digit (just 10, but it counts!) sales day. This month I am going to bump up my goal a bit, but not too far. We’ve got a lot of family fun planned for this month, so I know things are going to be a bit hectic.
My plush sales have rebounded recently, and it is once again my top-selling category. I’ve still been selling a lot of maternity clothing, and even found and sold another Left Behind book lot.

August 5, 2014 at 11:10 pmI really like Folkmanis puppets, but the majority I’ve come across aren’t worth a whole lot.

August 2, 2014 at 1:06 pmNice Kari!!! I just recently found the set of Left Behind books. All of the HC except for maybe 1. Can’t wait to get it listed. Glad to see you post!

August 5, 2014 at 11:14 pmI’ve now found and sold both a hardback lot and paperback lot. Hardback sold for more of course, but if’ they’re in good condition at a good price I’d say both are worth picking up. Hope yours sell soon, if they haven’t already! 🙂

August 2, 2014 at 11:00 pmGreat sales! Glad to hear you’re still making great sales and enjoying lots of quality time with your family. It’s great to have a job where we can do that 🙂

August 5, 2014 at 11:18 pmWith two young kids I definitely appreciate the flexibility of eBay. And it’s nice to have a month like July every once in awhile where I may not being putting as much work into listing but am still getting the sales, because of past months where I just kept listing even though I felt like my sales weren’t where they should be. It does seem to balance itself out in the end.

August 11, 2014 at 12:21 pmYou’ve had some great sales Kari! I love the Pooh plush lot. Knowing me, I would have created a listing for them on Amazon. I don’t know if you sell on there at all (even as a merchant-fulfilled seller), but have you ever considered cross-posting your plush on eBay and Amazon?
