About six years ago I began my
start on eBay, first just browsing and making a few bids on things I
wanted to buy. I designed and made my own cigar box purses and wanted
another venue for selling besides craft shows and retail locations. Soon
I began adding other merchandise and was thrilled when a vintage hat I
purchased at a rummage sale for seventy-five cents sold for over eighty
dollars! I was hooked! I have made wonderful friendships with other
sellers and buyers and have enjoyed meeting some of them at eBay Live
I became a Powerseller and trading assistant and after working for someone else
for twenty years, having my own business has been both challenging and very
rewarding. I began teaching seminars at the job center of a local
community college and am now an Education Specialist Trained by eBay.
That's me in the shades in the 2007 McHenry Fiesta Days parade with our Curious
Hound float. We got a great response and had a lot of fun. It just
goes to show you that wherever you're from - everybody knows eBay!!
