I am not on pace for my July goals.

I'm totally okay with being behind.

I spent 10 years totally and completely disabled. I was a self employed tax accountant. I loved my work and my clients. A car accident and a missed diagnosis changed everything.

Reselling has been my return to work challenge. On the days my body works, I do great work. On the days my body doesn't work, I get my shipping done.

I always set my goals as if I am fully able bodied every day. The closer I am to reaching those goals the closer I am to full recovery.

Until I move my doctors are 4 hours away, usually an overnight trip. My current acute flare up requires some doctor visits.

In my life the mundane tasks like listing and shipping are a gift to be able to do.

When the prognosis is "you'll never be able to work again" any work is grounded in gratitude and joy.

I'm listing 2 baskets of these very fun socks today!

Any gen xers out there remember that movie we watched in school about the paper drive.

Both teams cheated. One by drenching the paper and water and then drying it in the sun so that it would weigh more. And the other team just blatantly adding large pieces of metal to the bundles of paper they put on the scale.

I think it was supposed to teach that cheating is wrong.

I just keep thinking about it as I box items to add weight for cheaper shipping.

I took some offers today that without the extra discount would have cost $13 to ship but now cost $6. That's 3 offers I wouldn't have been able to afford to take before!

Just finished my shipping. I sold 2 pairs of shoes and am left scratching my head.

The first went zone 6. Over 2lbs. 12x8x4. eBay gave me a $6 USPS label.

The other went zone 5. I had it in the listing at 1lb 14oz. 12x8x4. eBay said $10 for the label. I increased the weight to over 2lbs and they wanted $13.

Is the 67% discount only for further zones? or only if the weight in the listing is already over 2lbs?

This happened the other day when I had something close to 2lbs and checked to see if it would be cheaper over 2lbs.

I'm not interested in switching away from eBay labels, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

Rural resellers live a different life and I need a dashcam. On the way to the post office today I got caught in a sand storm, crushed a dozen tumbleweeds with the van and had a stare down with a coyote in the middle of the road. Coyote had a prairie dog road kill in their mouth.

The west is wild!

Today's list-a-thon went at a bit of a slower pace.

With the amount of wildfire smoke in the air we kept all the windows closed and I spent most of the day in the basement.

We got about 30 listings up and are continuing to work through the unlisted.

Star can attest to the low energy in the house today!

I did just notice that I almost have 300 followers. That's pretty exciting. I don't really have any goals with this page yet. It's been cool to find some reseller friends and I am excited to see where it goes!

July goals.

I know we're a few days into the month on the eve of a holiday. It took some serious consideration to set these goals.

eBay is my only online platform. I ended June with about 4,000 listings (7,000 items) and $187,500 listed value.

I would like to increase the listed value to $208,000. This means listing $20,000 more than I sell.

I would like to get all of Halloween listed. If you follow you know I have a 815 costume bulk buy and I source Halloween all year.

I am planning 2-3 pop-up markets to continue to move lower value items. These proceeds benefit Community Care Collective's free groceries and health care programs.

The focus of these goals is to convert all of my unlisted inventory into listed inventory or donations.

We are under contract on a house and will know by Wednesday if we will still close at the end of July.

We will have a fund raising garage sale on August 1st and distribute clothes and shoes to farm workers in our valley at an event on August 2nd.

I am hoping to find a benefactor to purchase all the pre-owned cleats and shin guards for the school soccer team.

My BFF from elementary school needs donations for the school clothing pantry, I'm hoping to ship some 5lb boxes while the shipping is low.

The primary goal is to move only listed inventory to the new place.

I am dealing with some health issues, my doctors are 4 hours away (part of moving!) so I may have a few days away from home.

July will be my biggest hustle yet.

I'll keep updating as I go. I can't wait to share about the new house and the new town and what the move will bring to business growth and my quality of life.

Time to step away from this view and get some work done!

Newest eBay glitch? Or am I missing something?

This item is set to automatically send 5% offers.

They countered my 5% offer at $120.

I tried to counter and got this message.

I tried on my desktop as well and got the same.

What is happening?

Shout out to Becky Park for reminding me to go outside.

This was my first time in the forest in over 2 years. Star 🐕‍🦺 splashed in the mountain stream and we did a very short hike.

This evening I'll get some listings up and finalize my July goals.
