You know that old saying, “When it rains, it pours.” Well, it sure applies to me today. And this is the kind of rain I love.
Sales.
First, I had multi-item purchase from my eCrater store. Not half an hour later, someone purchased three items from my Wagglepop store. Even better, both buyers paid immediately through Paypal — and they both have confirmed addresses.
While my sales these day can’t begin to compare the old days of $3,000/month sales in my eBay store, I’ll take them just the same. There are no Final Value fees associated with the eCrater sale and the Wagglepop sale results in only $0.75 in Final Value fees. The same sales on eBay would have cost me $3.63.
Every once in a while I find myself wondering if I made a big mistake in closing my eBay store. Surely I could have absorbed the higher Final Value fees. Then I remember the real reason I left eBay — my sales dropped by more than 1/2 when eBay took store listing out of their search results. The hikes in store FVFs and listing prices merely added insult to injury. The saying about beating a dead horse comes to mind.
My plan remains to sell of my entire business inventory in wholesale lots — when and if I get the energy and the time. In the meantime, these sales, as small and infrequent as they are, help buoy my spirits and help pay my Wagglepop store fees.
