FULL STEAM AHEAD, BABY!

I wonder how many ebay sellers will "hear" what I'm writing? It seems that so many are locked into whiner mode, following along with the other bleating sheep.
But I say: NO EBAY BOYCOTT FOR ME!

I read a lot of ebay and online selling/marketing newsletters, and today I received an email update from Cindy Shebley announcing a NON-boycott movement, calling itself SUPPORT THE BUYERS, NOT THE BOYCOTT and suggesting that successful sellers will load up lots of listings this week, and reap the benefits of fewer sellers/listings/competition.

They mentioned that the buyers are either unaware of the changes, or really don't care, and are bothered by sellers who get on their soapboxes in their ebay ads. The buyers just want to shop and buy. The biz problems aren't theirs, and they don't want to hear it. Makes sense.

Read Janelle Elm's original post here.

They are also suggesting that successful sellers will promote themselves as giving "5 Star Service", and of course, then live up to that credo. You can mention your commitment to exceptional customer service in your ebay ads, and in a card you put in your packages when you ship your ebay items.

So that's what I'm going to do. Which is to actually to continue doing what I've been doing all along. So, I'd better get back to writing up those listings.

Full steam ahead, baby!
