WHY SHOP ON EBAY ~Visit my store FOREVER A TEEN

You here people talking about eBay all the time. So, what is the big deal about eBay? I have been a seller on eBay since 2004 and I love it! Seems like whatever I am looking for, I usually can find it on eBay. I currently am a Top Rated Seller/Power Seller with over 1700 positive feed backs left. Now...I'm not bragging, I just want to give you a little advice. When you do visit eBay. Look for sellers with high feedback ratings, Positive star ratings and their percentage. Min is currently at 100%. So, I am a seller you can trust. I ship out items in a timely matter, I package them safely, I try to have customer interaction as much as I can (Especially with being online). These all are important things to look for, when you are shopping on eBay.

Now why shop on eBay?

It's crazy but, their are people like me, trying to pull traffic into my store and we sell items super cheap doing it...plus free shipping. Or at least that's what I do. So my LOSS is your GAIN. If you watch an item, you never know what the bidding price will be. Another advantage is...you can earn eBay buck. I currently have over  $20.00 to spend on whatever, just by buying things on eBay. You can't beat free.

I have an eBay store called Forever A Teen. I specialize in selling name brand clothing (New & Gently Pre Owned) and I love what I am doing. http://stores.ebay.com/FOREVER-A-TEEN?_rdc=1 It does take a lot of time but, it's worth the investment. I have pretty much been a stay at home Mom most all of my kids lives and this has been a great way to help me to do that. I get to be there for all of the important things. So, another reason why to buy on eBay is...you may just be helping Moms like me to stay at home. If you are interested in doing this...check out eBay and what you can do with it.

SO...this is pretty much my why to shop on eBay. Please take time to visit my store called: Forever A Teen. Let me be that person to make your life easier and do the shopping for you. You will find great deals in my store, I promise!

FALL ORGANZING ~ GETTING YOUR CLOSET READY FOR FALL

Are you ready for fall? I am getting there. Would you like some advice on how to get your closet ready for fall? Here are a few easy to do ideas.

Clean out the closets, treat your closets like you are spring cleaning. But, what exactly should you clean?

1. Clean out your old clothes, you know you will not wear. Quit thinking, I may wear this someday. I have done that many of times. It just doesn't work. My closet seems to get fuller and fuller.

What should you do with those clothes, you don't want? Well, if you are looking to make money, you have a few options.  (1). Take them to goodwill and get a tax slip. (2). Sell them on eBay (only the fall/winter stuff for now). (3). Take them to a local consignment shop, you can make money if they sell. (4). Donate them to a thrift store, like helping hands.

    2. Get rid of the shoes you don't wear. If they look gross, THROW THEM AWAY! Don't be afraid of     buying used shoes to replace your old ones. You can use anti bacterial wipes to clean the inside. You never know what unique pair of shoes you may find, that are used. It's so fun!

    3. Look for outfits and put them together in your closet. I actually go to consignment shops, look on eBay or search for clearance clothes. If I find a cute top at one place, I search for a matching piece to go with it at another, than jewelry. Consignment shops are awesome! You will save money. eBay is one of my favorite online places, well of course having a store...makes me shop even more on eBay.

    4. If you are still in love with a lot of your purses. Put some nails or hooks in your closet and hang them up. It will make it a ton easier to find them. That's where mine are right now. Hanging on the wall. I love switching out my purses. Oh by the way, one of my favorite purses is from a consignment shop. Her name is Connie. Yes, I have a friend of mine that names her purses and she named mine. It's a super cute red purse, and it was clean on the inside. If you are concerned about germs, get the anti bacterial wipes, and wipe them out. In this economy it's about saving! So, look on eBay, consignment shops, thrift stores, and more. You can find, great deals, low prices and unique items...no one else has. I love used now!

So, these are just a few ideas. If you have any additional ideas, you would like to share. Please feel free to tell. Also, check out my eBay store for some great finds also. http://stores.ebay.com/FOREVER-A-TEEN
