I made it to Power Seller Status! I am excited to announce that I have made enough consistent sales in the past 3 months to be invited as a Power Seller by eBay. I have only been in business for 3 months so I think that is pretty good. It was nice to receive the email from eBay because business has not been great lately. I have been busy with school and family and not listing as many auctions as I would like to have running.
I have learned that the best way to get traffic to your eBay store is through auctions. I have been trying to get traffic through external sources like GoogleBase and listing my site on search engines but the highest amount of traffic comes from auctions. I have been told it takes about three months for any of the search engine advertising to start working. I may have to rely less on auctions in the future. Only time will tell.
I use one pay-per-click advertiser and that seems to bring a good amount of traffic. I use Bidvertiser. There are many different pay-per-click advertisers out there but I am happy with Bidvertiser for now. Well I have to hit the books, midterms next week!
Until Next Time...

Slow Week
At least business wise it has been a slow week, personally I had to supervise Easter festivities for my 3 little ones and I started a new term of classes at Southern Oregon University.
I think going on vacation for a week did slow business a lot, mostly because my business is so new and relies on eBay auctions for most of my traffic. Hopefully, it will pick up in the next couple of weeks. Of course many people have also been on Spring Break and probably not shopping too much!
My advice this week does not have so much to do with my business but is a really neat website I found to help save you money. It works for my business because I use it when I buy clothes from Gap or Old Navy to resell.
The site I am talking about is Ebates.
Ebates, a shopping site that gives you up to 25% Cash Back every time you shop online. You can shop at over 800 stores including Barnes & Noble.com, Gap, Target, Buy.com and Expedia. Plus you get additional savings with exclusive coupons, free shipping offers, and limited-time sales!

It doesn't cost anything to sign up and they pay you a $5 bonus when you make your first purchase!
This isn't one of those sites that you have to fill out surveys or do anything lame. You just go to their site first before you shop at your favorite online retailers.
I am only sharing this information because I have been using it and loving it. I earned almost $20 when I bought replacement ink for my printers!!!
Until Next Time...
