unfortunately had to close my little store seling vintage fashion items. it was a hobby and my little empire of joy and escapism from my usual desk job. paying double that of what was currently already been jacked up rate of $24 is just a bit too much for my wee store which only sells 4 to 5 items per month. ebaying used to be so much fun.. but ebay just keep upping the ante rate wise. sigh.. guess there could be smaller websites to sell to.. but i feel so defeated. its been fun. but not anymore. hanging my enterprenuerial hat for a bit. to all my friends and former customers - remember my little store - kikis_playpen

kiki if yr only selling 2-3-5 items a month... then really you should be taking full advantage of eBays offer to small time sellers. 30 FREE listings every month

run either 7 or 10 day auctions or 10 day Buy it Now's

start with seven items every week as 10 day Buy it Nows and as the month ends, either try new items or re list your unsolds, 7 items every week as 10 day listings willget you as many sales as you 2-3-5 a month sales when you had a store.

not the end of a dream, just the beginning of a new adventure
