[...] Ich hatte mir vorgenommen, jede Woche fünf Links zu posten, über die ich in der Woche gestolpert bin oder die ich mir aufheben möchte, weil ich sie irgendwann einmal gebrauchen könnte … als Anleitung, als Inspiration, als Information. Jetzt gehts los. Ich muss auch mal wieder bei eBay verkaufen und darum habe ich die Erfahrungen von Kathy von Pink Chalk Studio mit großem Interesse gelesen.

Kathy, thank you so much for sharing all this information. I’ve often thought about ebay selling, but it seems intimidating. This is a great little “handbook”!

I also use tissue paper. I usually use a color that is in keeping with the season. Then I put everything into a store brand zipper bag. I don’t know how much yours cost, but the store brands are dirt cheap and very large. I have enjoyed your series so far and have learned some useful tips, even for a “vintage” eBayer like me! Keep it up!

Kathy, thanks so much for taking us along with you on the road to e-bay sales! I’ve been trying to convince my mom that it would be a good way to weed out her bursting craft/fabric collection, but I really had no clue what I was talking about. Now I don’t have any excuse not to help her out.

Paypal has a shipping center-you can track, print postage, etc. Any reason you decided not to go w/them? I’m thinking of selling yarn on ebay and wanted to pick your brain!

Thanks! Love your site.

Oh I like the idea of using your business card template as an “extra goodies” calling card. Brilliant! I’m glad that your goodies are the same type of thing that the person purchased. Too many times I hear of people putting in something that has a scent to it (little soaps or potpourri). Unless that person ordered a scented item, you mustn’t assume that it’s desired. Our household doesn’t have too many perfumed items because my husband’s allergic to them. Plus it scents the item that you’ve purchased.

And yes those bags are pretty nifty. I bought similar ones to ship my prints in. I get too many packages that get a little wet from sprinklers or rain not to worry about some protection from the elements.

Great posts, thanks for all the tips!!
