Following Up...

On yesterdays post, I was writing a bit about my frustrations with eBay. Well, my frustration is not with eBay directly, it's only with the fact that I haven't been very successful in selling items through eBay and that I've only have lost money. Well, I was going through Facebook and I've actually found an Ebay group and I became a fan of it. If you currently have Facebook and want to become of eBay Inc's official Facebook section by searching for the word eBay when you are using your Facebook account or just click on ---> this direct link <--- which will take you to the section I'm talking about. Beware that when you search for eBay on Facebook, you might get more than one eBay-related page so just check them out before becomming fans of that certain eBay group.

I've also learned that eBay has a Twitter account. You can also search for the word "eBay" on your Twitter account or just go directly to this Twitter link so you can follow them on Twitter and have constant info from them. I also added them to my list of Twitter Followers. I really hope that by visiting and getting updates from this site my help me get more info on how to sell better through eBay.

WISH ME LUCK!!!

Dusting this blog...

Wooaaooo it's been months since I posted on this blog. I must admit I haven't used eBay in a long time since I haven't been very lucky in selling items and I've been losing money because of that issue. I guess it hasn't been easy...I've had a lot of ups and downs...more downs than ups!!! But I guess I really can't say that my experience with eBay has been THAT bad because I've learned a few tricks here and there when it comes to selling and buying items online. I guess I have to get more creative. I'm going to see if I try to borrow any book that talks about eBay and take a few pointers from it since I would like to re-use my eBay account. I might re-try eBay soon since we are getting closer to the Holidays and everyone may want to buy good items for cheaper.

If any of you that may read this post has an active eBay account, please send me some good pointers. I really want to learn more, especially now that I'm trying to sell a lot of items. I'm currently doing an Ongoing Yard Sale at my house, but I'm not having much luck there either. So I'm thinking of posting some items on eBay to see if I have some luck this time around. And now that I think about it, I should try to find out if I can link my eBay account to my Facebook account and my Twitter account. Maybe that way I can spread the word more and quicker...let's see what I can do in regards to this idea and if anybody has any suggestions related to this idea, I appreciate you let me know. I really need money ASAP so I really hope I can sell all the items through the yard sale or via eBay. WISH ME MUCH LUCK!!!

Para los que no entiendan el Inglés, pues aquí tambien les hablo en Español. Basicamente tengo varios meses sin escribir en este blog y no es por tener flojera sino que no he vendido más por (ó usado) eBay. La verdad que me frustré un poco ya que no he vendido mucho como pensé que lo haria cuando abrí la cuenta por primera vez. He tenido muchos altos y bajos en cuanto a las ventas...aunque han sido más bajos que altos y esto es lo que más me frustra. El hecho de que pongo cosas para vender una y otra ves, pago por cada upload de las cosas que estoy vendiendo y a la final no se me llegan a vender casi todas las cosas pues me frustra ya que estoy invirtiendo y perdiendo más dinero comparado a lo poco que gano.

Qué estaré haciendo mal? Será falta de creatividad y publicidad hacia mi cuenta de eBay? la verdad que nosé cual será el problema, pero la verdad hay que resolverlo ó buscar maneras de hacer mi cuenta más productiva. Voy a ver si busco algún libro que hable acerca de eBay para buscar más claves y aprender mucho más acerca del uso de este website. Para aquellos que usen eBay ó que estén en Venezuela y usen MercadoLibre para sus ventas/compras online, pues denme sugerencias para ver si asi salgo vendiendo mucho más y con más efectividad. Por cierto, tambien buscaré un manera de hacer un link entre mi cuenta en eBay y mis cuentas de Facebook y de Twitter para ver si eso me ayuda a hacer más publicidad.

Además de leer más acerca de eBay, voy a ver si pongo las sugerencias que obtenga por aqui por el blog y lo que aprenda de los libros para hacer un upload de algun producto que este vendiendo. La verdad que desde hace unos meses atrás he tratado de hacer un "Garage Sale" en mi casa para ver si trato de desaserme de varias cosas que tengo y así ganarme alguito de dinero pero la verdad que eso está medio lento de verdad. Al principio sin vendí alguito, pero las cosas como que se congelaron ya que nadie más me ha llamado para ver las cosas que estoy vendiendo en el "Garage Sale" de mi casa. La verdad que necesito vender lo más posible ya que sin trabajo, pues el dinero es escazo cada dia. Deseenme buena suerte y espero de verdad escuchar de ustedes...

Looking for a Job

I know I normally post about eBay and my experience with it, but this post is different. I'm looking for a new job here in the USA, just like many people who were lay-off from their jobs recently. It's been 6 months already since I was lay-off from my last job and it's not easy finding a stable job. I've been working some temporary jobs lately in order to survive while I get a stable job. Some of the places where I have worked lately are Victoria's Secret during the holidays, Teleswitch for one week in March (one of my former employers), and Jumping Jelly Beans for a couple of weeks.

If any employer out there reads this blog, please help me out soon!!!

I'm currently located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, so any current job opening in South Florida can be great for me. Although I am willing to relocate to New York or Denver - relocation can be negotiable since I'm looking for new experiences. My ideal job would be inside Purchasing, Customer Service, or General Office Management.

I consider myself a dynamic individual with outstanding customer service provider with a Professional attitude and great communication skills. I'm able to multi-task and work in a highly fast paced environment. I consider myself a very responsible and reliable person, who enjoys work very much and is fun to work with. From previous jobs, I have gained much experience with sales, purchasing, logistics, marketing, clerical tasks, team management, Help Desk management, and customer service activities. I am bilingual - I speak, read and write fluently in both English and Spanish - with excellent communication skills and great computer knowledge. Some of my interests and hobbies are computers, blogging, reading, music appreciation, bicycling, working in a team, and learning as much as possible.

If there is anybody out there that might help me with a job, I would greatly appreciated if the leave me a comment or if they can e-mail me at leon_mary@hotmail.com (e-mail me at this address for serious jobs - no spam, please). I can send my résumé and reference as soon as possible and I can surely schedule an interview soon. If there are any employers out of South Florida that can offer me a job, I would like to schedule an interview over the phone or maybe schedule something ahead of time so I can have time to travel wherever you are located.

Items Sold

I feel great...I was able to sell 3 items out of the 10 items I listed 2 weeks ago. I know it's not much, but I'm happy because I've been selling a few items everytime I create a list. These are the items I sold:

ANGELS AMONG US Decoration made by Betty Singer

Nokia 3200 Cell Phone

OLD NAVY Bracelet and Necklace Set

The only bad thing about one of these sells is that I lost money instead of earning something from the item. I miscalculated the Shipping & Handling on one of the items and I ended up paying 3 times of what I originally had listed on eBay. I really learned a thing ot two about this negative issue and will make sure I double check on Shipping & Handling fees before I submit an item for listing.

Right now I've posted a new item. It's a furniture set I'm selling in order to help a friend. It's a Thomasville KING STREET Bedroom Set that I'm seling locally here in Miami. You can go to the actual item by clicking HERE and you'll be able to see the furniture's description and pricing. I really hope it sells soon becuse my friend needs to get ride of it soon and I can earn some nice cash for this item. If you leave in South Florid and would like a nice bedroom set, please visit my eBay listing and buy this item.

Happy New Year 2009!!!

Wooaooo it's been a month and 10 days already since the new year began. Well, I must admit that every time I listed items on eBay, I would be a little sad & stressed out because I would either sell only one item or not sell at all. My last listing sold pretty good...I began the year selling about 8 items out of 12 I had posted. THAT IS GREAT!!! And what I like the best is that I gained a lot of money. The only thing I feel bad about is that I got my first negative feedback. In a way, it's my fault but it's also the buyers fault for not reminding me about an issue. I don't want to get into details but I feel pretty upset about the negative feedback and because the buyer said I never answered him/her back about the issue when, in fact, I did write him/her back about the issue.

Well, I hope to learn from this new experience and try to answer to the buyers issues a bit quicker. Now I have a new listing, which I hope it sells as great as my last listing. Please visit me on my eBay site. I have a few new things that are really cute and at great prices. I currently have 9 items listed, but I'm thinking of adding a few more things soon. Some of the items I'm listing soon are some great dresses that are very cute and the pricing is great on all the items. Please visit my new listing and if you have any comments or suggestions, please send me a comment here at my blog.
