eBay Adventure - Drop Shipping

                Now that I am starting to get the hang of eBay (after all of 6 weeks!), I have been looking into drop shipping. I was originally introduced to this idea through a Pinterest pin. Intrigued, I started watching YouTube videos to better educate myself about drop shipping. I then stumbled upon learning that I could do drop shipping using eBay. I have tweeted its customer service account about its rules and policies. I then return to YouTube and learn from some other people that eBay drop shipping makes you less money. Furthermore, I have learned that many sellers do not even want you to sell on eBay because they have a minimum price. On eBay you can sell something for 99 cents. Auction sites are a no-go. Moreover, the program which interests me uses Shopify. Now all of my current websites use WooCommerce so learning another commerce site could pose a challenge; but, there are a lot of tutorials and if I enroll in a program, I would receive human support. That’s the selling price for me. I like dealing with humans because I would have questions and don’t want to be out there. Of course, I am still on eBay and reviewing all of my options so that I won’t get caught by fraud again.

Adapt III

            No sooner than I settle with my former landlord and move into a new apartment, does my work life fall out. There is so more jealousy regarding my getting a GS-14 that people are trying to take it away.  I thank God for earning my PMP certification because now I can find work somewhere else.  Also while helping a colleague earn her Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) certification, has motivated me to pursue this. All of the other GS-14 possess COTR except for me; and, although I have only received my GS-14 for one month, I am adamant about receiving my COTR. It’s makes me equal and increases my overall competitive advantage.  If the government doesn’t have money then I will pay for it out of my pocket. I have done it with my CAPM and PMP surely I will do it with my COTR. I am all about self-investing. That how I’ve gone from GS-09 to GS-14 in seven years. I’m intent on going further than this in the next seven. Remember, it is all about adapting.
