I need some guidance folks up to this point. my 11 th year full time on ebay, I have survivived it all and always come up with workarounds, these new DSR and limitations on paypal and limited searches combined with the holdback on paypal are killing my seasoned accounts (each with ober 10,000 feedback.

Dropped back to new accounts with no dsrs and using an ip mask so they do not tie them all together, but still not enough traffic to make sales.

Wife has left, going through divorce, have to survivie this been out of the regular work force too long now.

Open to aqny new ideas any new partnerships

First of all, welcome to the PSU forums.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, especially the personal ones. IMHO, those are first and foremost when it comes time to heal, start over and renew your personal life & business.
Have you thought about selling locally, if possible? I make a lot more $$ selling locally @ live events than I ever did at ebay or any of the online sources.
Hope everything works out for you and don't foregt to STASH CASH Twisted Evil

Good luck!

Hello Ktljfasa, I am sorry to hear of your other home problems. But concerning Ebay you need to find multipal streams of income. If you are selling collectible, antique or junique try some live direct customer selling events, Shows, Flea markets, Home sales, or and maybe a rented brick and mortor retail selling space. Try developing your own internet site, or virtual stores and other internet sales sites. You will need to diversify as much as possible, put your wares where the customers are, where ever that may be. Don't let ebay run your business, use them only when it is to your benifit. I have been retailing one way or another since 1985 and use any thing that will work including all of the above and it is still a tough go. Good Luck....... Tumcat

It was my 11th+ year when I self NARU'd in July. I know where you are coming from...........but there are solutions and choices for all your situations. Just tackle one at time. It is easier to see through a ripple then a waterfall. Take care & all the best.

Wow friend,

If the IRS were to call you in that would about cover it. This is a great time to step back from daily selling and get ready for Christmas.

I wrote a great blog about that just a few weeks ago.
