If you are an eBay seller, how many items did you list today? If you are not a seller, what are you waiting for? I have an online course that breaks it all down into small chunks. You can find it on Udemy.com. The course name is called The ABC's of SELLING ONLINE USING EBAY! Come learn from a PRO! I've been on eBay since 1998!

30 Day eBay Challenge

Hi I'm Anne Z!
I sell on eBay! I am announcing The 30 eBay Challenge!

What it consists of is making some goals as a seller on eBay or as a buyer on eBay.
Or if you are neither, considering learning how to become one.

My personal goals for April 2018 are as follows:
1) List 5-10 per day this month on eBay. My user ID is: annez
My eBay store is called: A to Z Pirate Booty
I've been selling on eBay since 1998!

2) Buy at least one item per week on eBay (with saving money in mind).

3) Buy one item from another marketplace and track it's listing, sale and shipping
and report profit, costs, time here on a future blog post.

4) Support new eBayers with tips and offering a link to my online eBay course
called The ABC's of SELLING NLINE USING EBAY.

I will be sharing links and tips throughout this coming month during The Ultimate Blog Challenge, which I am glad to be a part of again this quarter.

It is true that when you announce your intentions, follow through is more likely!

So let the challenges begin! Please join me today! Who's in?

5 Day Countdown to Begin 30 Day eBay Challenge

My name is Anne Z. I am an eBay PowerSeller as well as eBay Trading Assistant

and eBay Education Specialist. I love eBay. I have been on eBay since July 1, 1998.

People ask me all the time how much time I spend on eBay. My answer: 2-3 hours a day.

The next most common question is what do I sell on eBay? My answer: everything.

I've sold dead tennis balls (I'm a retired tennis pro), I've sold little girls' Ice Skating Dresses, and Starbucks Coffee Mugs, Antiques and collectibles, as well as books, playing cards,

Rubber Stamps, umbrellas, men's silk ties, Disney collectibles.......You get the picture, everything. I sell for myself and I sell for others as well.

Since reaching the PowerSeller status this past spring, I've wondered what it would take

to break through to a new high.

So my 30 day challenge which will officially begin November 1, 2010 is this:

Can an eBay Trading Assistant/PowerSeller spend no more than 3 hours a day on eBay for 30 days, list at least 300 items and sell more than $3000 worth of "stuff"? Oh, and get 30,000 hits or pages watches for those items!

This blog will follow this 30 day experiment. I will report what sells in a day, what fun things I've listed in a day, eBay scores and homeruns (things that make big profits), etc.

And did I forget to mention, this 30 day eBay challenge will be filmed for a short documentary on my progress during the next month.

Will it be easy? Not sure. I currently have an eBay store: Anne Z's Recycled Treasures with over 800 items in it. My goal for the past period of time is to try and list at least 10 items a day, so the goal of listing 300 items in a month will be right where I want to be. As a competitive person, I will try of course to break that number and shoot for more!

I also, have not up to now, broken through the $3000/month sales number. That will be an important goal as well. I am a one-person show. I take all my own photos, write all my own descriptions and do all the packing and shipping. I'm getting close to hiring some help. It's getting a bit tough to complete all the things I have to do for eBay by myself.

I am a stay at home MOM, also known as SAHM. I take Twinkles the Jack Russell Terrier for a walk everyday at noon. I have to help my 9 year old son Luke, with his homework. You get the picture, normal mom stuff and duties like laundry and cooking is a priority over eBay. But selling stuff and getting money deposited into PayPal is a sweet incentive!

Please follow my day to day trials and tribulations and ask others who enjoy 30 day challenges to follow along as well. Don't forget to make comments. I am looking forward to beginning My 30 Day eBay Challenge!
