MoreHi Everyone,
After the article on blocking bidders I got quite a few emails asking if a bidder is told that you have blocked them. How do they find out? The bidder will not get an email
from eBay that you have blocked them. The only way they can find out is when they go to purchase from you again and a note comes up that says something to the effect that “You have been blocked by this seller.”
I have been shopping a lot in Bellingham and have found some amazing deals. At one sale my mom and I came across a set of nine Portmeirion canisters. They were priced from $4.00 to $12.00 each. Way too much!
I did some negotiation and ended up getting them for a great price. Unbelievably, at the time this negotiation was taking place, something even stranger was taking place on eBay. That is why I decided to write this week’s article on Portmeirion and Karma. Don’t miss it!
The first day in Bellingham, I decided to attack my mom’s messy eBay garage and get that huge job out of the way. We did an awesome job! I wish I would have taken a before and after photo but we always seem to forget that step. We cleaned it out, made pathways you can actually use, got rid of a lot of extra boxes (my mom has a box addiction) and set up five new shelves. It was a beautiful thing!
As we were finishing up, I came across a funny book about packrats. My mom couldn’t resist taking a photo of me holding it up in front of her newly cleaned up and NON packrat garage.
Don’t forget about eBay on Location. Don’t miss the one in San Jose on September 2nd and 3rd–eBay’s fifteenth birthday. It is going to be a blast. Maureen (Mo) is going to attend this one with me. We are also going to speak at the Bay Area eBay sellers group on Tuesday night, August 31st. Click to learn about eBay on Location.
I was a guest on The River, The Ranch and The Bay Radio Show earlier this month. You can listen to the show on their web page and here all the great eBay selling stuff we talked about.
LIVE BOOT CAMP is filling up, we have ONLY THREE SEATS LEFT for 2010. If you are in the mood for a spontaneous adventure, why don’t you join us this month? Read more about eBay Boot Camp. We hope to see you there.
