My Auction Empires

Well if you have not noticed we are now on the final countdown for the Christmas holiday’s. For seller’s on eBay you need to know the last days for posting items.

• The last day for posting overseas
• The last day for internal mail

Once you have been able to do this, you need to check that you say this on all your eBay auctions and buy it now’s. It will take you a little while to do this, but it is well worth it in the end as you do not want to have upset customers and buyers saying the gift they had just bought never turned up.

Well over here in the UK most schools have broken up for the summer holidays, and for those of us who sell online it can mean we need to be prepared. What do I mean, well if we owned a normal business within reason if the weather looked good for the week ahead we could say well lets shut up shop.

But as we own an online business we need to plan ahead.

@ We need to make sure we have no auctions or listings ending while we are away

@ We need to make sure that all the items we have shipped out have reached our customers

@ We need to have all our feedback up to date.

@ If you run an Amazon Shop we can put this on holiday setting

Hope this gets you started about being prepared for your holidays, and if you are going away have a great and blessed time.

Hi There,

I need your help. Please could you add your comments to this post, as it will not only help me, it will help others out there as well. With eBay and other online selling platforms we need to sort out the year in our minds and on paper so that we can have the right products at the right time in our auctions and stores.

So could we all combine our thoughts and list all the major holidays that we give gifts in. Once the list has been done I will do a post and then most likely re-edit it as other people will say hey you forgot that day or that holiday.

So your comments Please.

Thanks

Andrew (AndyUk)
