No one has gone in the direction you mentioned in your newsletter. I thought you would probably need a fancy website; but what you said makes prefect sense. I am going to re-think what I should do. I have never thought of building a list. Mary j, Jim, I am a senior newbie, I want to get started in internet marketing. No one has gone in the direction you mentioned in your newsletter.

I am begining to totally dislike eBay . What do you think of http://Bonanzle.com I think they are going to be the future... eBay is pissing off a lot of Sellers. -They refuse to be Mac friendly. -They are holding seller's money on transactions for 21 days which is illegal. -Power Sellers are refusing to give feedback even if they get paid instantly until you give them positive feedback. -Tons of sellers are moving to bonanzle where there is a true community that stays directly in touch with each other . -You have options of Paypal or Google for payment. Maybe you should write a new book about Bonanzle and the positive experiences there. Mary Hi Jim,

-They refuse to be Mac friendly.

-Power Sellers are refusing to give feedback even if they get paid instantly until you give them positive feedback.
-Tons of sellers are moving to bonanzle where there is a true community that stays directly in touch with each other .
-You have options of Paypal or Google for payment.

Maybe you should write a new book about Bonanzle and the positive experiences there.

The only reason you don't get more comments is its difficult to figure out how to leave it. Also, I would also try telling people you have enough people on your list so DON"T share this with anyone, unless you really like them. (little reverse psyche) I'm definately going to be following you a lot more and taking advantage of your wisdom. Thanks Jim, I passed this on to a newbie who will really appreciate what youve said.

You worked hard to get to that status - and you have a fantastic book (I only have one) I did start ebay store preparations sometime ago then quit - fees etc. Thank you for your newsletters - always such good information. I do not have the multiple streams of income - at present working on my own book/e-book then I can decide which route to follow. Congratulations Jim.

Not only does gold status (or super high feedback) not always equate to a profitable and sustainable business on eBay, it doesn't insure viability as an online business in general. We all know the ol' saying, don't put all your eggs in one basket. eBay is a big basket and if you really want to build a diverse, profitable and sustainable home business online, then you have to build multiple streams of income. That being said, one also needs to focus on the task at hand, one step at a time. A stumbling block that I, and I am sure many others have hit is taking on too much at once and just not getting enough complete. Build your business online, one stream at a time. Cheers!

But I thought ( and I might be wrong) that was a way to create more sales... That eBay customers will trust you more... So if my belief is wrong then please correct me...

Congrats on Gold P'Seller status. Personally I think any achievement should be rewarded. Its not as easy to make money on eBay as it was 10 yrs. ago. I made Bronze Powerseller during the last quarter of 2008. I have to admit though, I made more money selling on Amazon. Nontheless,I do think it instills confidence in prospective customers-so I would not "sneeze at" gaining PS status--just would not break my back trying to keep it! Hey Jim!
