Oh Sparky, that is so sad. It would break my heart to lose one of my siblings. We are here for you in whatever way we can, and you can always pm me if you want to talk privately, or join us on the MSN group.

You could create another ebay account?
Swapping between personal and business gets complicated, so a whole new account might be beneficial. Do you plan on selling more then just one thing, though? It probably wouldn't be worth it for just that.

Unfortunately, some people always find it easier to disregard and demean that which threatens them. That crazy troll poster who was quite deragotory to us all and knew nothing of us or our personal circumstances decided to section us of into the "useless, chatty, bored, housewife" box. I would be interested to know what they do for a living, what goals they have set themselves and what they will achieve.... It's so hard to commit to a goal. So hard to stay motivated. So hard to stay positive. AND on top of all of that, so hard to do all these and keep our jobs, our family lives and everything else in tact. Yet here we are - Month two - we've lost some followers but many are joining and many are learning from mistakes in Jan, many are looking forward to bettering and increasing what they earnt in Feb!

If this isn't a productive thread on an open forum - then I'd be damn well interested to see which one is!!

shakey, I've sold around 20 brand new items on ebay so far this year - no idea if they're monitoring my account or not but so far nothing has been brought to my attention. Of those 20, only one has been something I've specifically bought to sell The others have either been brand new items I bought for myself but decided to sell when my credit card bill started to look like my phone number :eek: or a few collectors items I bought years ago and am selling on now. I have, however, just bought some stock to sell on so I guess it's time to open a business account at ebay to run alongside my current one.

Must find out more about fees etc. I did read somewhere on these boards but there are so many pages it could have been anywhere!

just did my first tax return too...hope its ok...stressful so most of Jan taken up with that! I have just had mad urge to buy a load of multi coloured buttons but what can I do with them??? Anyone know of any good modern craft books...fancying patchwork as well no idea why not even got a sewing machine or done any sewing since school!!!

hmm maybe layered buttons necklaces/bracelets?
Glue them randomly on painted frames? pink for girls, blue for boys etc?
Sew them in a "modern random" pattern on some cloth and frame it and sell as "art"?

hmmm what else... will keep thinking while I get updated with the thread

Thanks for all the fantastic ideas folks, so many things to try there! I knew you lot would come up trumps :j

I don't know, I turn my back for a few days and the world becomes all divided . I just wanted to say thank you for all the supportive messages that people left for me last week when I was a little all over the place ... it really meant more to me than you will ever know. I sadly lost my brother suddenly in a tragic accident the day after he left the comment in my signature. Life truly is for living and as I truly believe that the connections that we make in life are what ultimately define us, it is likely that any idea or insight I may be able to share will likely find their way into this chatty thread. Keep up the stunning work everyone .

Sparky I am so so sorry for your loss *hugs*
I know words are a bit useless and might not help at this time but as has been said, we're here for you. You know where to find me if you need a good chat. Take care of yourself, the quote is really beautiful.
