I got a good chuckle out of this little entry for Whine Seller Way Back Wednesdays. Originally posted on June 5, 2008 (which is shortly before I started The Whine Seller), this is right after they introduced all the new changes...

How important is the discussion board community on eBay?

by T. W. Seller | Feb 16, 2009 | eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling, Ranting, Whining and Yelling at the Sky | 16 |

On Friday, I opened a unholy can of worms with this statement:I’m having a lot of trouble getting upset about the loss of community on eBay. That was always my least favorite part about it.Shortly after making this...

No, I will not put my husband on the phone! The business woman’s lament.

I know I usually direct my vitriol at sites like eBay on this blog but I wanted to address something a little different today. I’m pretty ticked, so watch out. I know it’s a man’s world. You only need to look...

OK, so this is weird. . .

So I was looking at sites linking to this website and I discovered this eBay listing. I am mystified. That listing seems to have been set up only to drive traffic to my post about how to get the eBay Live Cashback discount as...

Why I still love eBay even after all the changes

by T. W. Seller | Oct 20, 2008 | eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling, Ranting, Whining and Yelling at the Sky, Sell Their Stuff: eBay Trading Assistants and Selling Assistance | 22 |

I know no one will believe me, but I actually started this post before I saw John’s very similar post on his blog. I was going to scrap it lest I be thought a copycat but I think our reasons are pretty different so I...

Unsolved eBay Mysteries: What happened to the new online version of eBay Accounting Assistant?

by T. W. Seller | Oct 6, 2008 | eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling | 4 |

Earlier today, eBay announced that they were going to slash 1,000 jobs (about 10% of their work force) at the same time that they announced several pricey acquisitions including their purchase of credit company Bill Me Later for...

eBay decides to not change links policy after all, naturally after I remove all my links

by T. W. Seller | Jul 31, 2008 | Announcements, News, Contests and Giveaways, eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling | 0 |

A little while ago eBay announced that they were going to no longer allow external links anywhere on the site, particularly on the About Me page (which was the biggest change). Many sellers, like myself, having heard horror...

In a post eBay world, nothing will be worth something someday

by T. W. Seller | Jul 9, 2008 | eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling, Sell Their Stuff: eBay Trading Assistants and Selling Assistance, Timeless | 0 |

In the old days (read that as Pre-eBay), you would very often hear, “Hold on to that, it might be worth money someday.” Does that still hold true? Sure items definitely can increase in value in the future under...

eBay Live 2008 (or, fun times with an angry mob)

by T. W. Seller | Jun 25, 2008 | Announcements, News, Contests and Giveaways, eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling, Ranting, Whining and Yelling at the Sky | 0 |

I did not go to eBay Live this year, obviously, as I was at the My Little Pony convention this weekend. That said, I have been reading the almost realtime updates from Auction Bytes so I think I have enough perspective to talk...

No eBay Live next year? What is going on over there?

by T. W. Seller | May 6, 2008 | Announcements, News, Contests and Giveaways, eBay, Etsy and other Marketplace Selling | 0 |

In a surprise move, eBay just announced that there will be no eBay Live next year. I haven’t read anyone else’s speculation on this but I have to admit is that my gut reaction is that this is a little odd. First they...
