What things have you ever bought off eBay, may I enquire?[8D]



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:04:56 PM)

I bought a few gifts from a fellow CW member, but that's been over a year ago. I don't go on ebay often anymore...



L5FanLady -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:15:13 PM)

Between buying and selling, I've done over 40 items! Maybe 25-30 of those were buying.[8D]

I just checked--I sold 17 items on eBay.



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:20:26 PM)

I've thought about making some extra money by selling on ebay.. not sure if I really wanna.



L5FanLady -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:28:07 PM)

It can be good, but it can be a bother at times. Do you have a post office near you? That comes in handy. Also having a PayPal account too.



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:30:55 PM)

I live very close to a post office. And I do have a paypal account.



WhiteRoseBlessings -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:38:36 PM)

How simple or complicated is it to get a PayPal account?



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:45:09 PM)

It's not complicated. For a checking account, you provide the information for your account and Paypal verifies it by depositing two small amounts within the next couple of days. You go back and verify how much they deposited, they have verification that your account is genuine. That's the way I did it. There is a faster way, but I chose the slower of the two.



WhiteRoseBlessings -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:46:23 PM)

Thanks!



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:50:28 PM)

You're very welcome! I strongly recommend paypal for any internet cash transaction.



L5FanLady -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 8:56:40 PM)

PayPal is good, too, Sharon-Marie, because that way the sellers do not have direct access to your account numbers. SECURITY!!

Also having the Security Key for logging in to eBay and PayPal makes things even more secure. I tried to find a link to it but I couldn't.



WhiteRoseBlessings -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 9:34:59 PM)

I bought a really cool book in December. I don't know if either of y'all would be interested in it or not. But just in case you are, it's, "The Official eBay Bible (3rd edition)" written by Jim Griffith.

It's an excellent book. Very thorough.

It's divided into two sections: Buying and Selling; and it covers every aspect of both.

I bought it for the selling section of it.



L5FanLady -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 10:06:25 PM)

Interesting! I would love to read it someday.[:)]



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 10:08:45 PM)

As would I. Sounds very interesting to me.



L5FanLady -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 10:26:38 PM)

Since this is my own thread, and I can say what is on my mind, I think I will.

Ooh boy....where to start? All my life I have never been a very outgoing or social person. I enjoyed hiding myself away and spending hours alone entertaining myself. Unfortunately, the social skills that were needed to be friendly and make friends just never got developed in my childhood and teen years. Somehow, somewhere in that last year, things have PROFOUNDLY started changing in my life. I can't find words to describe it right, just it might be safe to say that God must be working big-time on me!

It all started when Roger Bennett passed away. It seemed that, at the very moment I learned the news, part of my heart was literally ripped right out of my chest! Strangely enough, it was the same wieght that I had felt in my heart for the last three years, and I remember once having prayed that God would remove it because it was affecting my attitude for the worse (did I not say that I would have trouble finding the right words? it's the best way I can describe what happened though...). But how Roger and that unwelcome weight in my heart had anything in common is puzzling to me! That started the "Change" for me.

Then, back in October, things started to fester concerning my attitude. I was angry and upset seemingly for no purpose; everything annoyed me. This went on till about December, when, like a zit, it burst, and I was left with a peace that I had never felt in my life.

I have in the last year gone thru such a transformation from within it amazes me! Whether it is visible to any one else, I don't know, but I am a changed woman!

Recently, I have been pondering this unsociableness of mine, and realized that if I don't start reaping friendship, I am gonna be a lonely woman. You reap what you sow, you know, and I want to sow well so that I might reap well. I have asked God to help me be more friendly and sociable, and I already feel His working!

I may well add more later. It's late and I'm tired, so that's enough for now. Goodnight![:)]

I got mine from Books-A-Million.

I'm not sure, but I think you can even buy it on eBay. His (the author) username is Griff (going by memory); and in addition to his other endeavors (bookwriter, eBay seller, etc.), he also works at eBay as Dean of eBay Education.



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/25/2008 11:19:07 PM)

I have a Books A Million nearby. I'll go check it out.

Tina, I have noticed. In the past few weeks, I have definitely noticed. [:)]

Be very blessed.

And good night; sweet dreams.

What was the percentage of negatives compared to total purchases?

Percentage? Well, for 6 months, he had 24 positive, 4 negative. In the last 12 mos., 54 positive, 8 negative. But for the last month, 10 positive, and zero negative. At best, questionable.[&:]



utilityfielder -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/26/2008 9:43:12 AM)

That is a high percentage of negatives. If I looking for an item, I try to choose sellers that that a high volume and low negatives.



L5FanLady -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/26/2008 10:41:48 AM)

Live and learn! I will from now on, too....[&:]



armydude -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/26/2008 10:43:07 AM)

Howdy Tina!



Qtman -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/26/2008 10:53:48 AM)

Good morning Tina. As to your question about getting your PFY thread rolling try visiting the other PFY threads, introduce yourself and invite them to visit your thread. Also make sure you have a link to your PFY thread on your siggy then a lot of the SG folks will stop by.



L5FanLady -> RE: ~~L5FanLady's SG Lounge~~ (2/26/2008 11:22:10 AM)

Good idea, qtman! I once had a link in my sig with the old PFY thread, but I thought the intro thread in SG would help (guess not enuf!) Besides, I'm sure everyone has seen the L5 pics by now......

AND I intend to get around a little more as well.....[;)]
