Toughing it Out

There are many things you will have to do in life which you will find unpleasant. Paying bills, giving someone bad news and maybe even having to go to work each day can all be problematic, frustrating, exhausting or mentally depleting.

If you're anything like me, you probably think, well I just have to suck it up. I have to live with this, this is the way life is and it ain't gettin' any better.

So you suck it up.

But inside you seethe, feel stymied, are angry or just worn out.

My Ebay Business - Part 2: My Shipper

In this installment of my Ebay chronicles, I am going to detail the shipper I choose to use for my own Ebay business: the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).

As I stated in a previous post, it is important to decide which shipping company you are going to use upfront. Other than USPS, you could of course choose Fedex or UPS. All three services are supported and integrated in Ebay, so you will have no problem using them. You can also order free shipping supplies for all three services, so make sure you do that prior to shipping so your packages will have a nice professional look.

My Ebay Business - The Beginning

Chronicles and lessons learned from starting an Ebay business....

I decided to start an Ebay business to support a sideline project I run - Coco's Fashion Boutique. Anyone who knows me knows that I love, love, love jewelry and accessories (to the detriment of my bank account) and so one day I decided to start my own online jewelry business (mainly to support my own habit of course!).

Anywho, I was totally excited about starting Coco's Fashion Boutique in November 2011, and did all the business-related necessities (more on that in a future post about starting an online business) and then started thinking about leveraging my business presence online.
