Sorry, I know that anyone reading this is reading for the info on Lily, but I couldn't help myself. I am so obsessed with my business right now that I can't think of much else but Lily and how to sell more stuff. I just got in these shoes and I absolutely love them and want to keep them all. Maybe if sales are good over the holidays I can. I actually have gotten myself into a bit of a pinch right now. I started this business with only $3,000. So, in order to build an inventory worthy of hosting a website I have been ordering things on credit and then putting every dime back into the company. I have been emptying out my account every week writing checks to credit card companies. Sales have been good, but these next two weeks are going to be a crunch because I think I over ordered for the holiday season. There were a few weeks where I didn't have any inventory coming in, and I was selling well so I kept ordering more stuff. I have a shipment coming in next week that I need to pay for and I don't have enough in my account or on my credit card! Yikes! I'll make it if I sell $300 worth of merch this week. Last month I sold $2,000, so $300 in a week is definately do-able but it is making me a nervous wreck. It is exciting though. I love the excitement! I gotta go, I have a design for a new jumper that is bouncing around in my head that I have to get sewn in order for me to get any sleep.
Yes, on top of caring for Lily, running a business and working at monstertixx, I am still sewing.

Yes I love the Ebay excitement too. I feel like I'm gambling at the casino or something sometimes...do you think it has become an obsession for us!? When I'm out sometimes I can't wait to go home and check ebay...haha Im such a dork. My life is also my child and Ebay. But hey it works! We are making money and we get to be home with our babies. And no boss, thats great. I want to be a powerseller too! I am excited for you, since I am a fellow ebay fanatic. I did 1300 in sales the 1st month but I was sick the first week of this month so I didnt really work and only made like 500 so far...and it has to be 3 consecutive...I am going to try to make another $500 in the next 10 days! We don't have any plans for turkey day either, just relaxing because ilich has a couple days off. oh yeah, I like the shoes...I was going to ask you if you looked into selling shoes like that before, because i saw some cute punk ones at hot topic. but you were already doing it!!!
have you seen any cross promoting anywhere yet? where do they do it? when they buy things or just on normal pages? hmmm....
Powerseller..it is a $1000 AVERAGE over 3 months, so it is okay if you are short one month, as long as it averages out. Crosspromotions show up when they buy things, so unless you are buying your own stuff or mine, you won't see it. I guess we have to trust that ebay actually does it, well even if they don't, it was free so what the hell.
We don't have any plans either, if we come up with something I'll call ya'll.
