Post 2 of 8: eBay For Fun and Profit and Other Internet Sales Opportunities
eBay For Fun and Profit and Other Internet Sales Opportunities
This panel discussion gives an introduction to sales on eBay, including the trials and tribulations of finding material, how to price it, how to ship it, and how to deal with feedback. Yes, and the taxman may cometh as well.
eBay started as an auction site, but today, most sales are by fixed price. Why the change, and what is the advantage of one over the other.
Others are invited to contribute their experiences on eBay, on other internet sales sites, or on their own web sites.
Post 1 of 8: Introduction and Agenda
1) INTRODUCTION
Welcome to MonSFFA’s September 2022 e-Meeting!
Settle into your most comfortable chair, tasty snacks at hand, along with a cool, refreshing drink, and join us for an afternoon of sci-fi fun and conversation. Today, we’ll be looking at online commerce for the sci-fi fan, exploring deleted scenes in SF/F film and television, and, we’ll hear convention reports on the recent Chicon, and next year’s NASFiC, which will be hosted by Winnipeg, the first time the NASFiC will take place outside of the U.S.
One of the new, anti-Omicron vaccines is now approved and available in Canada, so hopefully, this fall and coming winter won’t be like those of the past couple years!
Today’s agenda is a busy one, so let’s get right to it!
