I am getting ready to start selling lots of CDs (and jewelry) on eBay. So while I was doing some research I came across "jayandmarie". At first I was impressed by the 1300 feedbacks. Then when I realized it was actually 13,000 feedbacks, I was ASTOUNDED!
The Seneses speak longingly of taking a real vacation. But that would mean getting thousands of CD titles typed up ahead of time so an employee could start the auctions later. They haven't managed to do that. "On paper, we should be able to get ahead," said Jay Senese. "But something always comes up."
So why not cease listsing the CDs for a couple of weeks and take a vacation? I don't get this.

Oops! I screwed up the title. I meant 130,000 feedbacks. That number is so astounding that the mistake is understandable.

Probably like most people getting a business off the ground they're worried that if they leave for a bit, people will forget they exist. I don't think the eBay market is quite competitve enough for that to be the truth, but if I was worried my job wouldn't exist when I came back, I'd be reluctant to take a vacation too.

Court fines man for internet kidney saleTue Jul 15, 5:49 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court has sentenced a man for trying to sell one of his kidneys on the Internet to a four month suspended jail sentence and fined him 2,000 euros (1,400 pounds), authorities said on Tuesday.
A spokesman for the court in the western town of Kassel said the 48 year-old Austrian mechanic was accused of violating laws on illegal organ trading for offering his kidney as a "blood purification organ" online at a starting price of 66,500 euros (46,700 pounds).
He was hoping to use the proceeds to ease his girlfriend's financial worries, said court spokesman Theodor Weber.
"Apparently the firm she worked for was in trouble and he wanted to help them out," he said.
A journalist later spotted the advert, and posed as a potential buyer before exposing the unusual money-spinning ruse.
The man made a full confession in court and said he was pleased he still had both kidneys.
"He said he was glad because he'd been having a problem with one of them for a while," said Weber.

How much does it cost to ship that 1 cent CD?
I think the shipping costs are turning off alot of buyers.

So why not cease listsing the CDs for a couple of weeks and take a vacation? I don't get this. It might be because of their huge volume...there is a constant incoming of payment, transactions, ect....that don't stop while they are away.
I'm guessing, but it might also depend on the the capacity of their employees jobs, what they actually do (i.e. deposits, bank stuff...?)
Thanks to eBay, I have more stuff hanging on my walls (and some great books) than I know what to do with.

I still make money on eBay. This month alone I made $300 last month about $200 during Xmas around $700. It is a nice addition for quick money.
