After 10 Years on eBay, I finally became a Rock Star!

I have been selling on eBay since September of 1997.  Wouldn't you think that someone with that much experience would know everything about selling on eBay?  WRONG!  I thought I was doing things right, had a pretty good sell through rating, made some extra spending cash - you know, I was doing OK on eBay.  After I attended my first eBay Live meeting in Boston, 2007, my eyes were opened.  I was doing it all wrong!  I needed a store!  Yikes, I don't know about stores, I said - sooooo, enter Janelle Elms - eBay Education Specialist Extraordinaire!  After taking her class - eBay Stores 101 - my head was spinning. 



After returning home, I bought her books and her video and learned how to set up my store to be in the 1% club.  I also signed up for Janelle's newsletter and found it to be a veritable wealth of information not just on eBay, but also on being an entrepreneur on the world wide web.  It seemed that any questions I had were answered immediately by helpful members of the newsletter.  But, hold on, I was in for a wonderful surprise!

Janelle sent out a newsletter with hints about her NEW website, in it she had a little contest to pick a small group of subscribers to be Beta Testers for the site!  I knew I HAD to win a spot on that team and composed my entry with great savoir faire so that she would pick me - and - SHE DID!  Yea!  I was in the front door of the BEST site on the net! Everything was quite HUSH HUSH for the weeks that we worked our assignments, we couldn't breathe a word about what we were doing!  Then, before we knew it the site was going live! and OSI Rock Stars was born!

 

 

 

Now after learning so much from Janelle at eBay Live here's the first thing I did

 

A Store is Born, Jennifer at Sitting Boo Productions designed my store for me and here it is.  I sell Antiques and Collectibles and all things Funky and Fabulous!  Pretty cute - come on over and have a look!

 



Rock Star Promoters and Roadies on OSI Rock Stars 

Friends are the very best part of OSI Rock Stars

In all my years on eBay, I have never had such a wonderful network of great friends who share their hopes and dreams for eBay with me. If I ever need to know about any aspect of listing, selling, promoting, writing HTML, key words, you name it, someone on the
OSI Rock Stars
Forums is there to help.

I have never met these people in person, but I can tell you that never have so many willing and helpful people come together for eBay education.

WHO ARE THEY? They are the Roadies and Rock Star Promoters - the backbone of Janelle's
OSI Rock Stars
.



Here are some of the folks I have gotten to know at
OSI Rock Stars
- only a small sample, I can assure you!


Cathy
is always upbeat and so nice. She brings out the best in all of us! She also has a fabulous product that I just LOVE!

Katiyana who makes gorgeous sweaters for American Girl Dolls and Teddy Bears. She is also a GIANT SQUID - I am so envious! She always has been a great help to me especially on Squidoo!

As a fellow seller of Antiques
Carol Hearn
has been especially helpful to me. Check out her store for some of the neatest items and jewelry from long ago.

Barbara and Jim are some of my other antique (whoops) antiquing friends. Barbara and I think we might have been separated at birth we seem to be so much alike. They are two of the best
OSI Rock Stars
cheerleaders!
Listen
to what they have to say about the site!

Two of my "best friends" on the site are Rhonda and Elvis (uh - LEE) Gee, I always get Lee mixed up with "THE KING" - check out their You Tube video below and you will see why! They sell parts to my most favorite car of all time the Ford Mustang. Their site makes me drool. - Hey it's not because I'm old guys, it is just a saying!

One of the most helpful people I have found is Jennifer. She is always quick to answer my questions and she is a very smart gal. She has almost as many business tips up her sleeve as my dear
Janelle


I would never leave out Scott. I have been amazed at what he has learned in a very short time at
OSI Rock Stars
! He has put together some of the best Squidoo lenses on his products - Records, vinyl, cds and a wonderful old RCA Victor Packing Box. He's the go to guy for all of your music needs.

Finally, I want to mention Tim - Mr. Customer Service - Chapman. WOW! His podcasts on
OSI Rock Stars
are some of my very favorites. Want to know how to find that item for $1.00 and sell it for $400.00 on eBay? Tim tells you all of his Estate Sale and Garage Sale secrets. He is my inspiration - I have found a few Home Runs myself, but aspire to be more like Tim!

Are you ready to open a store on eBay? 

Start you own eBay store for as little as $15.95 a month.

If you are ready to step ahead and have your own eBay store, this is the place for you. If you already sell on eBay, eBay Stores is a logical step, move unsold inventory into your store for as little as 2 cents! I have been amazed at the number of items I have sold in my store for much more than their original opening bid. Exposure is the key. eBay stores puts your merchandise up for 30 days for just a few pennies. Like my momma always said "You can't beat that with a stick!"
