Hi everyone, The Specialty Services board represents a...
Welcome to the Custom Made Items and
Services Discussion
Board! This board is for our
growing community of eBay members who sell services rather than, or in
addition to, products. Custom Made Items and Services may range from custom
manufacture to individually personalized items, from calligraphy to clothing
design, from web design to music or art, from repair and restoration to
graphic design for businesses. Feel free to share advice and best practices
about how to use eBay to sell your service.
We also suggest visiting our other boards such as The

Those who sell services may not be aware of ELANCE, which is eBay's (soon to be former?) professional services marketplace. I've never yet seen an effort to promote it, but it carries on. For those not familiar with it, here's the URL: LinkBTW, pinks any clarification you can provide on the multiple questions which have already appeared on this board about off-site links will be greatly appreciated.

Please be gentle with me, this is the first time I have ever posted to a discussion board at Ebay. I read over the other discussions in "Services," but still came away with a big question: where do you list a service? What category? How do you pick a category? Is there a "services" category? Should there be one if there isn't? I have to admit, I start looking at all the places where a person can sell something, and I get brain freeze (same reason I have trouble at a department store...). I'm...

Hello everyone, a category 4 hurricane - Katrina - made landfall early this morning just slightly to the east of New Orleans. Many thousands of people were evacuated and still others are in temporary shelters until the worst is over. Since New Orleans is below sea level predictions are for large amounts of flooding. It may be days or even weeks before people are able to return to their homes. In areas east of New Orleans, extending into Mississippi members may face similar devastation from the...
