The winter chill in the air but that doesn’t mean that you have to look frigid. Warm up to the latest in tall women’s luxury fashion. I am carrying the best in real furs and luxury brands like Gucci and Valentino. Below I have styled 1 chubby fur coat with 3 different dresses. Clockwise, here you can wear the Aqua chocolate brown chubby fur with the burnt orange T Tahari dress, the red Valentino dress and the black Gucci dress.
I have been an eBay reseller
using the post office since the beginning. Everyone knows that I only ship domestic
and global priority mail shipping. If you’re an American customer, you’d
receive your package in 1-3 business days. If you’re international, you’d
receive it in 6-10 business days. I’ve adopted priority shipping because I sell
luxury items and I feel that the customer wants her order as soon as possible.
So I go to the post office as
usual without fanfare to drop off another shipment. I get to the counter, do my
normal routine (including pressing the red button to say that my package doesn’t
contains bomb and danger liquids), when the clerk tells me to pick up my
package and drop it off at the front counter. Now THAT was a first! I mean is
THAT YOUR job to deliver and distribute the mail. What a lazy broad! I do it
but still. I mean the post office has cash flow issues and has been steadily
losing market share with everyone using email. You’d think that she could just
accept my package. The nerve!
Anyway,
I am still adding new items to my store. If you are a tall women looking for

I
have an all-new fashion livestream showcasing my latest skinny jeans offering.
I am debuting my all-new fashion
livestream showcasing the new fall merchandise. I am a tall women’s luxury
consignment store. My motto is giving you Neiman Marcus merchandise at nearly
rock bottom prices. This season I am adding Alice + Olivia and Ann Taylor Loft.
This new fashion livestream video showcases these labels and more!
Fall is finally here and so is all of the new merchandise! I
have added the newest Alice + Olivia and Ann Taylor plus Catherine Malandrino.
These labels are a fashionista dreams. As the motto says ‘Don’t DREAM about it,
BE about it!’ Be able Neiman Marcus merchandise at near rock bottom prices this
fall!
Running an online store is a job
in itself so I completely understand why a seller would be hesitant in adding a
blog on top of all of that. However, having your own store blog is the best
advertising that you can get.
Here are my reasons why you
should have a Blog?
·24-Hour Promotion: It’s up when you’re not.
People buy online 24 hours. Your blog generates site traffic and leads.
Although I am an eBay seller, I have my own sales blog.
·It’s your online real estate which you control –
you don’t control social media
·Free advertising – A blog is a form of
advertisement. You have to pay for Facebook Ads.
·Customer Education, Engagement and Experience
All in One: I post all of my tips, customer responses and livestreams on my
blog. It is the one-stop shop. On mine, I have eBay Adventures chronicling my
sales experience; my weekly eBay inventory livestreams, photos and eBay sales
tips.
·You can run special exclusively for your blog
readers – membership has privileges.
These are my 5 reasons why your
online store should have a blog. Blogging increases site traffic. Increased
traffic = increased conversions.

Most people know that I am an
eBay reseller. Most people don’t know that I have studied and once worked as an
economist. The invisible hand phrase was coined by economist Adam Smith. I have
experienced my invisible hand moment today. I have a lull in my business and
decide to photo and upload new merchandise renewed interest. I am thinking that
no one is interested in my current inventory so why not add some new pieces. No
sooner do I finish adding the final (seventh) piece, does my Kate Spade skirt
sells! I am so giddy with excitement over this because it’s from the same
bidder! Read about it here: https://carlarjenkins.blogspot.com/2017/07/ebay-adventure-its-principle.html.
Immediately upon accepting the bid, I recall Adam Smith and the invisible hand
statement. Economics strikes once again. This time with eBay!

OMG!
The good news just keeps on coming! You know that I have just written about how
I have received my 40th gold star (Read it here: https://carlarjenkins.blogspot.com/2017/07/ebay-adventure-receiving-my-40th-gold.html
). However, underneath this eBay tells me that I have received 100% positive
feedback! I have nearly died and gone to the heaven. Although I love those 40
gold stars, it always irks me as to how I am wrongfully getting that 1 negative
review. Yet, I am extremely happy that I have returned to 100% positive
feedback because I am all about the customers.
My customer mantra is:
Provide
good quality merchandise – that’s half the battle.
Fair
pricing – the rule of thumb is if the item is pre-owned (worn), price it
50% of what you’ve purchased it. For instance, a $500 pre-owned dress would
start at $250.
Expedited
shipping – I ship only domestic and global USPS priority mail.
Answer customers’ questions:
Livestream
to enhance customer experience – I give my customers behind the scenes
looks via Periscope and YouTube Live
Provide
lots of photos – eBay is a visual medium. Your customer does not touch the
merchandise
Honestly
in product descriptions – I tell people where there is a whole, rip or tear
in an item. It is all about being honest. Integrity is NOT for sale!
As always, shop my store for the absolute best in tall women’s
affordable luxury fashion!
Promoting your eBay store is a full-time job in itself! You have
blogging, livestreams, sharing your merchandise, doing podcasts, etc.
Livestream has helped me sell a whole lot of merchandise.
How often should I do store merchandise livestreams?
You should do one at least once a week. I do my eBay YouTube
livestreams whenever I get sales. I feel that my customers should see the
current inventory. I also do Periscope and YouTube livestreams whenever I add
or relist items because the inventory change and I want customers to know about
it!
Another week, another livestream featuring the latest in tall women’s affordable luxury fashion finds. I have added new items into the store because there are so many items that are flying out of the store. Check out my latest livestream where I showcasing all of my merchandise and sprinkle in some resale business knowledge!

I received an email from a buyer talking about being on vacation and wanting me to hold her item. Well, it is in an open case for an unpaid item strike. Since she was a repeat buyer, I was in the process of contacting eBay to see what I could do. I had something like this happen to me before. I had a lady who bought an item, it became an unpaid item strike. After the case closed, she emailed me saying that she was on vacation in western Africa and had janky wifi (She never bought the item). It was amazing how some people thought that eBay was layway but the rules clearly stated that you had to pay for your item in 48 hours. Stories like these were one of the reasons why I started eBay Adventures because future resellers needed to know the real!

My eBay sales were coming in at a very fast clip. It was unbelievable. I did think it the increase was attributed to my blogging, the return of eBay Adventure and embedding my eBay YouTube livestream into every post. More people were watching my livestream and learning about my store translating into sales. In the midst of all of this I mislabeled a dress. While in the process of preparing it for shipment, I saw that the label was something different. After conferring with Mommy, I did the right thing which was tell the buyer my mental brain fart. She was okay with it and I kept the money. I was just happy that I didn’t let my brain fart upset my shopping cart. What I did start doing was take better inventory and didn’t commit everything to memory.

The sales keep rolling in and I am NOT complaining one bit! I have thankful that I got off my duff this past Monday and have done the livestream else I would be sitting here flummoxed as to why things aren’t selling. I have done much more since the livestream but doing this YouTube Live is the starting point. I have written blog posts, done Facebook Live broadcasts (must cross-promote and go where the customers are!), shared my merchandise on Twitter at least twice per day, priced according to the eBay recommendations and shared my blog posts to some Twitter re-share accounts every day since Monday. The result is 5 sales this week. I have just made a sale and completed a payment today. It feels great when I keep going, being diligent and thinking of new ways to promote my store every single day because I reap the rewards.

I
have decided to build upon yesterday’s enlarging my tent thought because I know
that I can think bigger and better every day. I have challenged myself by doing
an all-new eBay YouTube Live showcasing my new inventory. I am grateful for
technology to spread my message and showcase my wares. You can shop tall women’s
affordable luxury fashion here: www.ebay.com/usr/carlrjenkin_6
Doing
a YouTube livestream is a new way of expanding my thinking. Normally, I do
Periscope but YouTube is the second-largest search engine which is owned by
Google the number 1 search engine. I see myself expanding more by doing more
YouTube livestreams in the very near future. I will probably do one Sunday
especially when I list new inventory.
Also while
deciding that today is a nice day (I have gotten outside before it’s hot!). I
have written my July editorial calendar for all of my emails. I am thinking
bigger and better and enlarging my tent; and, my social media numbers are
increasing.
These three
things more than compensate for how my paperwork was still in limbo yesterday
because I am moving forward. I am shifting towards positive and transitioning
in that direction. Moreover, I am still receiving many recruiters checking my
LinkedIn page over my new certification. In addition, I am very grateful to be
in a free landing page training. This can be great with growing my email list. Finally,
my blog analytics are trending up due to my high-quality video content on my
site. I am dedicated towards enlarging my tent more than just one day.
Goodness! Here I am thinking that
I have stretch my money all the way until the end of this week only to learn
via voicemail that one of my parents has watched my YouTube videos and is
giving me money to upgrade my ‘presence.’. Immediately I tell everyone on
Facebook because my parents are 65+ and they are critiquing my YouTube videos!
How many senior citizens are doing that?! Exactly! Also I check my bank balance
and see that there is way more than what’s in there yesterday. I can breathe
just a little (I wish I would have known a little earlier else I would not had
cancelled that meeting because I thought that I was dirt poor. That’s another
blog post though.). Furthermore, PayPal says that my echeck has cleared so now
my other money isn’t held up. I transfer that ASAP! Today truly feels like the
wheels are churning.
I
am still putting a lot of new items into my eBay store to start summer off on
the right note. I also want to move as much merchandise as possible. I have
started doing eBay YouTube Livestreams and will do one later today because
YouTube gives me another audience and storage options. I can also embed these
videos online. I particularly love the screenshare feature because then all I
have to do is plug in my webcam, show my eBay store and roll! I am still
pushing myself to earn more money than I did yesterday!
Sheesh!
As soon as the money comes, the money goes. I check my bank account and am down
to little or no money. Even though I am grateful to have cash in my pocket, I
am happy that deposited the money else everything will bounce. See I am happy
because I don’t have to think about the what-ifs. It could have ended worse
than where I am sitting. However, at least I don’t have a negative balance.
Yet,
somethings are tied up elsewhere; and, I am fixing to make sure that I get
these matters resolved. I know that I have the sales capability to generate the
income necessary. After all, I am grateful to have one eBay sale and I know
that once I have another sale…then another and then another. I will return to
Periscope, add merchandise and try something new this time: YouTube Live. I
have done YouTube Live with project management and webinar; but, never my eBay
