    <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Chances are that I'll have a tonne of rocks come down on me from other sellers here by saying this tonermedic, but here goes anyway ....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Although I'm sorry to hear of your low sales rate of late I would point out that it is up to you, the store owner to promote your own business and attract more buyers, not Ebay's.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;You can do this several ways, perhaps by having your own in store sale by reducing your prices by a noticable percentage, or offering a fee gift with every purchase made within a given time frame, or offering free postage during at given period of time only, or offering a fixed figure discount voucher redeemable on the customer's next purchase (Also with a use-by date), or at the very worst start looking at what products you have on offer and seriously ask yourself what appeal they might have to potential buyers then change your store direction if you come up with the answer of little to no appeal at all.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;No matter what you do though you still have to accept that every other seller is faced with the same or similar selling issues unless they are already doing something positive to grab buyer's attention.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Sales businesses come and go, no matter if Ebay ones or B&amp;amp;M ones, but at the end of the day it's always up to the retail outlet if they end up sinking or swimming through their own management skills.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Also remember that no-one forces you to sell through Ebay, but when you chose to you have accepted their fees as being a part of the overheads you must factor into your business regeme so it won't do you the slightest bit of good to whine about it afterward because Ebay will never bend to increase your business successes or failures, nor should it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;carly_and_judy, have you thought about putting some things as BINs? I know you only can post on a certain day, so you can start them maybe three days prior to your posting date and have a three-day listing. So, at the earliest, if someone snaps it up it's only a few days before you can post and shouldn't make much of a difference in terms of posting time. Might be worth a try and could generate some quick sales.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;I've just finished packing up after my first tourist market trading day of the year and now ready to hook up the caravan and&amp;nbsp;hit the road for a 55km run to do it all again tomorrow before heading home again for another market on Wednesday.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Do it all again every week from now on until&amp;nbsp;Chirstmas when season ends.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Had a great trading day today with&amp;nbsp;just over $2,480 in takings for the day,&amp;nbsp;so I'm happy as a pig in muck lol.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Hey dilly de dee, the market selling life for me lol.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Have yourselves a great weekend all.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;winds, severe thunderstorms and floods, in queensland.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; one wouldn't 'ave thought there'd be too many tourists, goin' to markets, moona&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; B-)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;It's not only tourists living in Qld and it's not raining or flooding everywhere either, in fact some ares&amp;nbsp;are having their driest wet season for a decade this year.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;If I sat on my bum and worked markets pacifly as other market traders do I'd be lucky if my takings were a quarter of what they are but I'm a 'Spruker' and work the crowds.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;You may have seen someone like me at sometime where we give something away for free and using the 'Wait, there's more' patter lol&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;It's hard work&amp;nbsp;but I enjoy putting on the show and&amp;nbsp;all the effort pays off.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Given another 6-8 weeks when the tourist really start pouring through&amp;nbsp;my takings will double to triple.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;The only upsetting thing for me over the entire weekend was the fact that I only caught one 83cm bara on Saturday night lol.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;It's called 'Having the gift of the gab' lol.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;It's the old fashioned way of doing things, 'face to face' and something you can't use when you're selling via the internet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;You'd find a lot more sprukers/cosamongers like me around markets years ago but most people don't want to put all the extra effort into selling these days, but that works in my favour because the punters still like to see a good show being put on and when I start chucking freebies about they flock to see what it's all about&amp;nbsp;then before they know it they're handing up their cash like it's waste paper too&amp;nbsp;lol.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
