Special Notice:

EBAY FEE INCREASES...

We are sorry to say, due to Ebay's Fee Increases we are looking into other sources for our Auctions and Stores. Our customers are very important to us, there fore we will keep you posted as to were our Auctions and Stores will be moving to, if we decide this is what we need to do. This is going to be hard on us emotionally because we really felt ebay was our home. To put it simply, (like so many other sellers) We are trying to figure out if we will be able to stay with ebay or not..... 
I have included some links here and ask you to please read & sign this
Ebay Petition.
Several sellers are also doing a  NO LISTING DAY  Feb.18.2005 ~ Feb.25.2005

and several others will be leaving ebay forever on Feb 18th.

Look At the Differences in these Items:

(Same Items Using the Old and the New Fees)

If I sell a $10 Auction Item these are my "OLD" fees

      $0.60 listing fee

      $0.25 gallery fee

      $0.20 ten days listing (used to be $0.10)

      $0.05 buy it now fee

      $0.53 final value fee

      $0.35 + $0.29  PayPal fee

      $2.27 Total Fees

If I sell a $10 Auction Item these are my "New" fees

      $0.60 listing fee

      $0.35 gallery fee

      $0.40 ten days listing

      $0.10 buy it now fee

      $0.53 final value fee

      $0.35 + $0.29  PayPal fee

      $2.62 Total Fees

If I sell a $10 Store Item these are my "OLD" fees
(not counting the $9.95 Monthly store fee)

      $0.02 listing fee

      $0.01 gallery fee

      $0.53 final value fee

      $0.35 + $0.29 PayPal fee

      $1.20 Total Fees ( plus let's not forget the $9.95 Store fee) 

If I sell a $10 Store Item these will be my "New" fees
(not counting the $15.95 Monthly store fee)

      $0.02 listing fee

      $0.01 gallery fee

      $0.80 final value fee

      $0.35 + $0.29 PayPal fee

      $1.47 Total Fees  ( plus let's not forget the $15.95 Store fee) 

These were only examples of $10 sales, now can you imagine what this will do to lower or higher priced items... 

These Fees REALLY add up when you look at the monthly or yearly fee costs. 

It wouldn't be bad, if ebay increased our searches or something in return for all the high fees, As far as Store fees go...
Store items are not even included in searches unless there are 10 or less on auction.

Hello, and Welcome to our site.
For those of you who do not already know us we would like to take a few minutes to tell you about us, what we sell, and how we have turned Our Love of
Ebay into an ongoing Family Affair Around here.
Our names are Tina ~ Betty ~ Shannon ~ Tonja ~ Chrissy (me).
We are all related, Betty and Shannon are my sisters and Tina and Tonja are my Nieces.
Since starting Our Yahoo
Ebay Groups, we feel like our group members are family too. In our Groups we work together, Just like a family should. You are more then Welcome to join us at either group.

Click Here To Get to Know Us!

This site has many wonderful ebay resources as does our Yahoo group Ebay ~ Resources. Our goal is to help other ebay members utilize the Free yet effect resources that are available to us. When I started on ebay, I spend dollar after dollar trying to find what worked on ebay and what didn't. Needless to say several dollars later, I have pretty much taught myself what works and what doesn't. I will say 90% of the money I spent to teach me "all the ebay secrets"... well they didn't teach me much, except for how to spend more money to buy yet another useless program. I kept hearing all the talk about HTML and boy that scared me, I thought..."I'll never learn this!" Until... I learned all HTML really was for ebay was Cut and Paste. If you know how to copy and Paste something, you can do it! I do not by any means think I know everything there is to know about ebay, but I do know quiet a bit and when I find questions I do not know the answers to, It usually only takes me a few minutes to find several different answers and perspectives on the subject.  So don't be afraid to drop me a line to ask a question or to seek advice. For my first several months on ebay I did not have someone to run to for help, and to be honest spent MANY hours surfing the Ebay Boards looking for answers. That is when I decided I was going to use my website to help other ebay Newsiest and hopefully when they make their first million, they will remember me...LOL ( Not holding my breath for that one!) I truly love my ebay selling and helping others.
