Favorite eBay Deal of the Day

This will be fun…We are going to start a new daily section of the newsletter.  It is called Favorite of the Day.  I fortunately, or unfortunately (depending upon which side of my checkbook you are on) am a HUGE buyer on eBay – a PowerBuyer.  Because of this I find many fabulous items, great deals, very cool sellers and products that I hadn’t even thought to buy (or for that matter, sell) on eBay.  Many of you have asked to see My Favorites list – well, here you go…(this will also give you great ideas on ‘what to sell’ as well!)

I have chosen to feature the following favorite ‘days’:

Monday: eBay Store

Tuesday:  Deal of the Day

Wednesday: Etsy

Thursday: I just have to show you this…

Friday: Blast from the Past

Saturday: Seller

Sunday: Charity

Fr-ee eBay USPS Boxes

Ok, so after I got in big trouble yesterday posting such a yummy eBay Store, I thought I would save you some cavities (and money) with our deal today.

Many of you already know you can order fr-ee USPS shipping boxes…but some of you don’t yet.  So in honor of being prepared for those fast approaching holidays, here you go:

Order your fr-ee eBay branded USPS shipping boxes (including the fabulous shoe ones!) at: http://ebaysupplies.usps.com/  (If you have my 101 and 102 books, then you’ll also know how to get the fr-ee ‘plain brown’ boxes from the UPS – with NO words on them).

Order your fr-ee eBay branded USPS International shipping boxes - http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductCategoryDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10152&categoryId=13356&parent_category_rn=11820&top_category=

Schedule a fr-ee pickup from your front porch (love this one – saves me a ton of time from having to go to the post office – especially during the holiday season.)  As long as you have at least 1 priority package in the group, you can take advantage of this offer. Make sure you leave some chocolate chip cookies for your carrier as a thank you! –

Here’s my trick if I have all parcel post and media male packages…I bump one of my outgoing packages up to Priority.  It only costs me a few extra dollars to pay for the upgrade over what the customer paid. (Well worth price so I don’t have to take time and drive to the post office.)  This also makes the customer delighted and surprised at the extra fast shipping.  And added bonus – your feedback reflects high marks for shipping!
