What’s The eBay Tracking Software You Mentioned?
Terry,
What’s the eBay tracking software you recently mentioned in your newsletter? You said it would allow us to see how people find our auctions, and tell where our buyers came from.

When Does It Make Sense To Have An eBay Store?
Hello Terry
Thank you for your very informative newsletter, it got me thinking about my own eBay enterprise.
May I ask you a question, I will understand if you don’t have time to reply.
I have been selling on eBay for about two years, I sell things of interest to a small niche market consisting of bookbinders, I think we are doing ok, we now list about 25 items regularly and have plans to expand considerably.
I have read your newsletter, and frankly learned quite a lot from them.
My question is this.
I like some aspects of running a store on eBay, in particular the lower listing fees. But I understand that store listings do not get the same exposure that ordinary auction listings do, and I am concerned that our sales will suddenly drop off if I open a store.
Any thoughts on this Terry?
Thank you.

Any Tips For Selling Ebooks On eBay?
Terry,
I’ve heard much talk about selling ebooks on eBay. I like the idea of having no products to ship, and being able to sell the same thing over and over again. Can you give me some tips?

Can You Use Pictures On eBay Without Resizing Them?
Terry,
I’m wondering if there is a way to take pictures without having to resize them? I’m asking the question because I waste a lot of time resizing my pictures before I put them on eBay. And, I think that I put to many pictures on my auctions. By the way, I’m a French Canadian, but you probably noticed it already 
.
I love selling on eBay, but I think that I’m losing too much time placing my auctions. Presently I’m looking to see if I would save time using Turbo Lister. So far when I get to place 5-7 auctions a day I’m happy… and I’m working a lot to do that… If you get a minute, check my auctions that I placed today … 12 of them, but I took at least 12-14 full hours to do that
:(..
Hoping to get news from you.
Best Regards,
Stephan
What’s Irregular Package Mean?
Terry,
I’ve been receiving and enjoying your newsletter for some time now. I’m not sure if this is the kind of thing you would publicize, but as an eBay seller, this is important at least for you to know… I found (and reported) a bug on the sell your item form. That was about a week ago and eBay has still not fixed it.
The problem is with the domestic shipping (calculated option) fields, particularly the dimensions fields. It seems that if you do not enter the dimensions in the specific order Length, Width then Height the form automatically selects “Irregular Package” and thus shows potential buyers an erroneous shipping fee… - However, no matter what the order, the cubic inches remains the same…
For example, if I enter 10 x 3 x 3, the shipping charges are appropriate for the weight. (Let’s just say 6 ounces) However, If I happen to enter the dimensions as 3 x 3 x 10, the “irregular package” checkbox will end up as checked *AFTER* I click the “Save and Continue” button.
One does not even need to complete a listing to see this happen. Simply begin to create a listing entering a light weight and dimensions with the longest dimension NOT in the first field. Then, after clicking “save and continue” go back to edit the listing and you should see the “irregular package” box checked. If you proceed to list the item, an inordinately high shipping fee will show to potential buyers.
From one seller to another, just an FYI…

PS Great newsletter!!!
How Do I Get Thrift Stores To Let Me Do eBay Consignment?
Hi,
Thanks for giving away your ebay consignment e-book. Not too many people do that anymore in this day in age. I’m finding a lot of good information in it.
I like the idea of going into Thrift stores to sell their items. My wife brought up an interesting question. If I list an item to sell for them, I’m assuming they would have to take it off the shelf so it won’t sell while it’s being listed. My concern is that they may not like the idea, especially if it doesn’t sell while listed, seeing that they may had the opportunity to sell it while it was listed.
Any ideas on how to handle that? Does ebay let you remove an item if it sells to someone else while it’s listed, thinking the store may want to leave the item on the shelf?
Thanks for any answer,
John Smargiassi
