HAPPY FEBRUARY! It's a short month, but we're going to make the most of it! We're working together to make the GREEN and invite you to join us. We're friendly and talkative and are glad to share what we know, so come on in and pull up a chair. WELCOME!


We've got our own green goddess:




Everybody's heartthrob, George:




And a fresh batch of Lucky Listing Dust to roll your listings in:




Also, our top tips to share:

Hope you find something helpful here:

1. LIST AT LEAST ONE THING EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK! If you are like me and have another job, write things up and schedule them to launch on a daily basis.

2. LIST IN A VARIETY OF FORMATS - Try some regular auctions, auctions with Buy it Now, Fixed Price, and Fixed Price with Best Offer. Not only will you get a better idea what works for YOU, but you'll offer buyers a variety of buying options.

3. OPEN A STORE - With a store, your unsold items are never invisible! Just a few additional sales out of your store can make it pay for itself. Special note for the fee changes....if you are wondering whether you are better off with a BASIC store or a PREMIUM store, figure that if you have over 250 store items, Premium is a better buy....under 250, Basic is....this is at least a rule of thumb to get you started.

4. DEAL WITH BIDDERS, BUYERS, AND ANNOYING INQUISITIVE POTENTIAL BIDDERS IN A PATIENT AND FRIENDLY WAY - Even if you have to fake it! Remember that it's worth money in your pocket. Be two-faced, but at least the public one should be friendly

5. KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE! This thread is all about MAKING MONEY, that's for sure, but we feel that being supportive of our Lister Sisters (no Brothers, currently, though they're welcome) helps ALL of us. Drop in and hang out! Venting is allowed, but take it easy on the negative vibes.

6. DON'T WORRY THAT YOU'RE NOT KEEPING UP WITH THE POSTS - We are HUGELY talkative, but rarely say anything that's crucial. If you feel like you missed something by not reading the last 10 pages, just ask!

Thanks for joining up with us....there's no fee, no initiation, no hazing....if you're here and you're happy, YOU'RE A LISTING CHICK!
