Ok I was talking with my newest eBay friend who just got me into this. This is a site where you can register and save money at lots of retail stores, most of which we use fairly often including this eBay site.

It's completely free and real simple to use, it takes literally a minute maybe 90 seconds to fill out.

What you do first is go to my About Me page and click on the big advertisement which will take you to the sign-up page. You put in the information and *BAM* your set. If you need any help whatsoever you can leave comments on this blog and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have. Also you can check out my last blog with 66 comments on it which can help verify some stuff because that's where he taught me about it. (Also, he has over 11,000 FeedBack which should show and prove it's not a scam or fake site so there's no need to worry about that factor thank goodness)

*BIGGEST MOST IMPORTANT PART*
Just remember, Every time you shop on eBay or the other websites, you must come to big crumbs first.(before you bid or use buy-it-now on eBay). Then you go thru the shopping lists and click on the place you want to shop. That's how Big Crumbs keeps track of your purchases, so you can get paid.

Like I said any question or something you might have just leave a comment here, if you're ready to get started go to my About Me page and click the link to start saving you some money on all your purchases.

Notes about the inspiration of my art:

Since my early childhood, while living out of Israel, I have been dreaming of the Holy Land, and the Holiest of all places – Jerusalem. After immigrating to Israel, I have been constantly drawn to painting Jerusalem and it’s Holy Sites, feeling the immense energy emanating from each and every stone, monument and even from the air of this Holy City.

My paintings and drawings of Jerusalem are filled with just that energy and emotion which I always feel when I paint the Holy Sites.

As one of Israel’s most renowned healers once stated:
"Your paintings radiate immense energy, and evoke serenity on their surroundings ... Your paintings heal."

Each and every Household and Office in the world should have one or more of these art paintings to emanate their healing and relaxing energy on their surroundings, and to see and feel the presence of these Holy Sites, the presence of Jerusalem, capital of the Holy Land.

I believe that these paintings may bring piece and serenity to the world. That is my greatest dream.



Few words about Jerusalem, Holy Land:
Jerusalem long history is since the 4th millennium BCE , making it one of the oldest cities in the world. Jerusalem is the holiest city for all monotheistic religions: Christians, Judaism and Islam.
Old Jerusalem City is home to sites of key religious importance, among them:
•Temple Mount•Western Wall•The Church of the Holy Sepulcher•The Dome or the Rock•El-Aqsa MosqueEvery person on earth shell visit Jerusalem at least once.

My paintings will bring the spirit of Holy Jerusalem to into your home.

I am furious!

In May my sales were $246.13. My eBay fees for that period were $80.38, and my concordant PayPal fees were $11.12, for a fee total of 91.50!!!

That means I paid eBay about 33% of my revenue!!! That's more than 1/3 of what I sold!!! How can we sellers make any money with outrageous fees such as these???

eBay (and PayPal) must lower their fees! :(

I just acheived a bronze level. I sell fashion jewelry, bridal, sterling silver,. I have been using auctiva because I can you use as many pictures as I want. I just need some advise or HELP.

Does anyone else seem to notice that it's getting to be a lot harder to find prices for items on Ebay that are cheaper than retail? I just built a new desktop and, therefore, did a LOT of price searching. On about 75% of the items I looked for, I found cheaper prices for them on sites other than Ebay.

I don't mind ebaying if I can find a good deal. But if I can get the same product, brand new, for cheaper on a legitimate retail site (newegg.com, for example), what incentive have I to buy it from Ebay? I still shop like hell on here, but I'm getting more and more disappointed with the prices I'm starting to see. If the item is used, give it a used price. And no, I'm not talking about the listings that have an auction price; if that were the case, I'd be bidding instead of complaining. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

words

hello! im fresh to ebay and i need help on selling, and buying.i have some things up and no bidders yet. is there something wrong with what i have up. did i not put up enough info? and say something does sell then what do i do?? when im buying shld i look out for scams or is everyone who sells thing ligit. please help :(

Did you realize that when you search for an item, eBay has the search automatically set to "Best Match" but it may not truly be the "best match"

Best Match features items from power sellers or items with free shipping or other eBay featured sellers.

The regular guy's (seller) items are buried under all these other listings and you may never find it.

When you do a search in a category, change the "Sort By" from Best Match to Newly Listed or Ending Soon or any other choice to be able to view ALL the items in that category more easily!

Happy Bidding!

This article from Auctionbytes is very interesting, and underscores much of what we've recently discussed here regarding the need for small sellers to diversify through multi-channel marketing in order to survive. I've copied the story below for your convenience. It is very telling. Please read on...

"Searching for Greener Pastures
Largest eBay sellers' group feels a sense of betrayal.
by Brad and Debra Schepp - Jan 22, 2009
Almost from the very beginning of our researching and writing about all things eBay, we've been privileged to call Stephanie Inge a friend and supporter of our work. Inge is a long-standing PowerSeller, eBay instructor, eBay educational specialist, eBay trading assistant, member of eBay Voices and business consultant, as well as the founder of the largest eBay sellers' group in the world.

But lately, her enthusiasm for eBay seems to have waned.

When Inge began Dallas eBaybes & eMales in January 2002, her goal was to create a group that could come together for learning, sharing, support and community building. For the past seven years, the group has been doing just that. Today, there are 350 members in Dallas alone. You'll also find chapters in Fort Worth, Houston and Austin, bringing the total number of Texans involved to about 650. The group recently branched out with its first out-of-state chapter in Colorado Springs, CO.

You'll search a long while before you'll find a group of more dedicated eBayers, and right at the top of that list is our own Inge. No matter what the issue, no matter what the challenge, whenever we needed a positive outlook on an eBay move, we could count on her.

It's not that Inge didn't see the flaws—she's way too smart for that—it's just that she always found a way to make the best of whatever changes came along and get back to selling her products and supporting her community.

For years, the Dallas group has met twice a month. One monthly meeting is an informal luncheon that varies from month to month in terms of schedule and location. A more formal gathering happens on the fourth Monday of every month. There is always a volunteer speaker, who presents a subject of current interest, such as improving your Best Match results, digital photography or working with DSRs. That presentation is followed by dinner and a guest speaker. Guests have included eBay solutions providers, authors and employees. Throughout the years, this structure has led to the strong and vibrant sellers' group we've been describing.

Last November, the Dallas eBaybes & eMales broke with tradition, presenting speakers from several of eBay's direct competitors in the world of online auctions. The group welcomed OnlineAuction.com CEO and founder, Chris Fain, OLA-Radio's David White and Reliabid's co-founder Mohamed Ramzi Ismail. Not one eBay representative was in the building.

We caught up to Inge to ask about the shift.

"As the leader and founder of this group named after eBay," she says, "it became obvious that I have to give the members what they want. They don't want to have all their eggs in one basket, so we started looking for other baskets for our eggs."

Weighing the alternatives
Planning for the November meeting actually began long ago. Last spring, Inge began working with the Professional eBay Sellers Alliance (PeSA), the Internet Merchants Association (IMA) and the Ecommerce Merchants Trade Association (ECTMA) to identify other potential markets for her group's members and invite representatives to speak to the group. "We have the same vision and goals," she notes. "Why not work together?"

With the meeting in the planning stages, Inge continued to work at her usual pace, attending eBay Live!, while working with eBay Voices. Both of those experiences were telling in this long, difficult year of 2008.

"eBay Live! in Chicago was bizarre," she notes. "It was so quiet and empty. It summarized the whole year at that point, and then they announced they weren't even going to have Live! for a few years. eBay Voices hasn't met in the last six months, either, even though they used to meet every three months."

“In spite of the challenges they face in building traffic on those other sites, members are trying everything they can to find alternate venues”
Inge says that for the last year or so, eBay has wanted only the Voices group to provide referrals to its PowerBuyers group. So what exactly is going on?

"Members are selling on other venues," such as Ruby Lane, Onlineauctions.com, Reliabid and their own Web sites, Inge says. "Most everyone still sells on eBay when they can, but they're expanding to other sites more and more," she notes.

In spite of the challenges they face in building traffic on those other sites, members are trying everything they can to find alternate venues. "If you're going to sell new stuff, you have to find another venue besides eBay," she says.

Paradise lost
We couldn't help but ask, what's gone wrong with eBay?

"They've totally lost focus on who they were and what put them on the map," she says. "But I'm just a very small fish in a big pond. They're working to please the big sellers, not us. The more they cater to the big sellers, the less need there is for education for the 'mom and pops.'"

She notes that smaller sellers can't compete with big merchants. "The only ones with a chance now are the big catalog sellers," Inge says. "I don't see any hope for the smaller seller like me, unless there's a huge change back to the way it was originally intended to be. I have Gold-level PowerSellers in my group who have had to go back to full-time work because they couldn't earn enough.

"It used to feel like a community," Inge says. "I would like them to go back to what they're good at, try to bring that sense of fellowship and enthusiasm back to the site. Prove to us that they really do value our businesses. Where is Pierre? Maybe he could bring it back to his original intentions."

With such a plaintive lament, it can't escape our notice that the small sellers—the ones who made eBay successful enough to court the big companies—feel an overwhelming sense of betrayal. eBay's actions of late have taken a group with such enthusiasm and dedication that they actually meet twice a month to educate themselves and enrich their communities, and sent them the very clear message that eBay corporate doesn't care much about their success in today's economic climate.

This sounds, to us, much more indicative of a company named eBetray than one named eBay."

Auctionbytes brought me to this part of eBay that was completely new to me. You should investigate and see if your items are listed there.

eBay Revamps Global Buying Hub for International Sales
By Ina Steiner
AuctionBytes.com
December 04, 2008

eBay has revamped its Global Buying Hub, which is designed to make it easier for buyers to find items that they can purchase and have shipped to them. The eBay interface and purchase flow is localized for the buyer's language, except for the Item Description area. For a seller's items to be included for a certain region, they need to specify that they ship to that region (specify a value for "ShippingRegion" in "AddItem"). Unlike International Site Visibility, for which eBay charges a fee, there is no fee for exposure on eBay's Global Buying Hub. However, buyers must do searches from the hub site in order to see listings.

Just wanted to share this with you guys. Now you can get, up to 36% of the seller's fees whenever you buy something on eBay, and if you have an ebay store or items for sale you can list it for FREE. Your listing will be seen by an active community of eBayers who have made millions of dollars in eBay purchases through this website in the past year alone.

Sign up for FREE. Just copy/paste the link on your browser.
