Who uses titles anyway!?
Weekend shoppers at Eddie's Auctions, your antennas have been posted. Please allow 3-4 days within Australia for the item to arrive. It takes a while to prepare all the envelopes.
These went out today
Firstly, I have to keep a record of all sales. I do this using a spreadsheet. This means transferring details such as Name, eBay ID, Item no., Price etc. from my ebay page to Excel. That's the Administration part.
Then, I have to see who has paid, as I only send the antenna after receiving the payment. So I check my online banking and PayPal and note down all the people that have paid.
Then I get out the required number of envelopes and start writing addresses. I have to look up each individual address on my ebay homepage. I put the sender's (my) address on the back and stamp the mother. The latest padded bags come with a No-Dangerous-Goods-Declaration. So I have to declare that I'm not sending any explosive antennas. You never know. (9/11 really has affected everyone...)
THEN I have to see who bought which of the four antennas. Once I know whether its a Flashing Disco Ball, Flashing Blue stubby, Silver or Gun Metal Stubby antenna I then proceed to wrap this antenna individually in bubble wrap. This requires cutting the bubble wrap into a narrow strip AND putting sticky tape on it~!. Then I grab a little thank you note, put it in the envelope along with the antenna. The padded bag is then sealed.
Once this is done I can then post them at the next best opportunity.
If I was to be very client orientated I would then also notify each buyer that their antenna has been posted and I might even leave them positive feedback. Then I mark off on the spreadsheet that the antenna is payed for and posted.
So think, before you too take up selling on eBay. It's not just sitting on your ass and watching the money come in. Although that's what it is 99% of the time. :D
Seeing as I make too much money, I donated $40 to Project Compassion today. Mr Brazzatti suggested it. Never again will I donate to Caritas. The money, which I earned from selling antennas, is probably going to the helpless little children who made them in first place, in some cheap asian country. MUHAHAHAHA. That's so evil.
The latest addition to my shoe wardrobe is a pair of Puma Cell Boca indoor soccer shoes. The pair I replaced were my Dad's old volleybal shoes. They ended up falling apart so now I got some proper footwear. No doubt this will help us win the next to games and win the grand prize; a trophy mug.
They may be considered: "Fully Sick".
No surprises, we have a dickload of English. This might explain some of the IB students absence in today's ever important sports ASSembly. No the capitalisation of the consecutive letters ASS is no coincidence. OD cracked the shits... Yet he was the one telling History students to take entire DAYS off school for history last year. *sniff sniff* I smell hypocritism.
Dinner is calling.
