19. I am not a seller but gave some merchandise to a seller last winter.

His descriptions were fantastic, as were his pictures. I really did not make any money but moved some merchandise along.
It upsets me that I recommended that my daughter give her stuff to this seller. Don't misunderstand me, the seller is doing great with his obligations but there are no or very few bids on some really good stuff. I feel badly to have let her to give her assets to this method of sale.

My family collected stuff for years, no silly, plastic toys on holidays, we gave the kids antiques and taught them about the history of the gifted items.
What is happening is sad. My other daughter was going to sell some things this way. She has changed her mind and will repack her goodies and wait until things look better. Wise decision.

For those who sell on eBay, good luck. I feel badly that this method seems to have passed it's prime. The work is not easy, the effort by sellers is great(mostly) and the return is squeezing them out.
