Officially to 10 Auctions!

Hey there!  Well, since I've started this whole eBay thing yesterday, I've been a photo taking, description writing machine!  I'm up to 10 things up for auction.  I have no watchers or bidders yet, but in my limited eBay experience, I have seen that this usually happens hours or even minutes before the auction is over.  Trying to stay positive over here to keep this as fun, and hopefully profitable!

Feel free to see my items currently available here, and follow me on twitter @wifeysellsthing

Any tips for this (and any) newbie on how to maximize my auction views?

Let the Auctions Begin!

Well, I created my eBay account and listed a few toys that my kids have outgrown or don't use anymore to hit the ground running and see what eBay is all about.  They all have 7 days on the auction, a BIN (buy it now) price, and buyer pays shipping. I was surprised how easy it was to start selling.  I took a couple pictures of my items, looked at other items that were the same as the ones I am selling to get an idea of a price, and posted! I am using this as a test to see how the process works.  I have never bought or sold anything on eBay, so this should be interesting!  

Feel free to see what I have listed and please follow me on Twitter @wifeysellsthing to follow me and see how everything is going!

Hi! I'm New Here!

Hi everyone!  My name is Lindsey, and I just started Wifey Sells Things.  Looking around my house, I have a lot of stuff that could really be sold or donated.  With 2 kids (3 if you count my husband), I have acquired an absolute ton of toys, games, books, clothes... all that are no longer being used!  My hope is to get an eBay store up and running to sell these things, and make a little extra money in the process.  I have seen quite a few sites showing their garage sale and thrift shop scores, and keep thinking this is an excellent way to make some cash from home.

I will be chronicling my entire process, through this blog and from my twitter account @wifeysellsthing. I hope that from my mistakes (and hopefully successes!) I can help other new hopeful eBay starters.

Feel free to check out what I am currently selling on eBay as well!  I look forward to getting immersed in this blogging and selling culture!

Lindsey
