Hi everyone,
My listing isn’t the way I like them, but it will do for now. Maybe Rebecca can find something for me that will work.
I waited all day for Ebay to call me back, which the girl who helped(?) me yesterday, said they would. At 5:15 I decided to call them again and first I had to go through all the GPT Chat to describe your problem to see if they can solve it for you. After going in circles for 5 minutes, typing the same thing over and over again, I just typed in the message box. I NEED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN PERSON! MY PROBLEM CAN’T BE SOLVED WITH A ROBOT!” The next thing I knew, I got a message that Ebay would call me back in 9 minutes. And, I was almost sure of what they were going to say, they could not find any trace of my lising… there was no Auction number that showed it had ever been listed. So after some talk and trying to appease me, the girl (a different one than the one who DELETED my listing) told me I would have to just start over and make the listing again. No sorry, no apology, nothing… So, I started again using the only way available to me right now, and THIS time I’d type a paragraph and then take a picture of it with my phone… in case something happened, I would at least be able to copy what I had the first time.
When I got to the part that wasn’t working yesterday, the place where you have to pick if you want your listing to be an Auction and run for a few days or a Buy It Now, where you set a certain price and when someone buys it, it’s over, it was working! The places where they were gray yesterday and non functioning, were working today. Who knows what happened yesterday…Anyway, I listed it on Ebay, and the pictures are all at the left side, but there are 23 of them, and the description of the pieces are all written below the pictures.
We’ll see what happens now. So… I went to my blog to write this post and when I got ready to start typing, my website updated and everything changed. It now has blue everywhere and when I tried to put a picture at the right sidebar like I usually do when I have a new listing on Ebay, it only showed a LARGE picture… as BIG as my COMPUTER screen, instead of the small pictures like you see at the side right now. I’m not sure what is going on with that. I’ll have to show the picture I took to Sarah and see if she can help me with that.
For right now, I’ll only be able to put a link for the listing here in the writing… and you’ll have to click on that.
Then I got the mail and some hot pink stretch lace arrived. A lady who has bought many many lace fingerless gloves from me wanted a pair of evening gown gloves and a shorter pair in hot pink. I searched and searched and finally found one seller on Etsy who wasn’t selling 10 yards of her lace for $12-14, or 25 yards for $35. It was crazy finding someone who only sold in one yard lengths. I finally found a lady and the lace came pretty quickly… As I looked at the lace through the clear wrapper, it didn’t look like 2.5″ wide lace…and I was right… it’s only 2″ wide. So, I messaged her and she checked and said she doesn’t have anymore 2.5″ wide hot pink lace… and did I want a refund? I said no, and began searching again… now I have to ask my customer if 2″ wide will work… .
Okay, I’m going to stop talking… I sound like I’m whining… which I’m trying not to.
Here’s something fun Joy sent to me… Books about Jeanne Marie! Wait till you see these! Has anyone ever seen them? I never knew about them… and they are so cute!
Marilyn’s sister, Janeane (Janine) went to Ireland with her husband and sent these pictures to Marilyn and Marilyn thought you all might like to see them. In the subject line Marilyn titled this… Blarney Castle, so maybe that’s its name. The pictures are very beautiful and her sister said it was cooler than they expected. She thought May would be a good month for the flowers. Marilyn said to make sure you look at the Pterodactyl.
I guess this is Ireland’s version of the Missouri Botanical Gardens! :o) It looks beautiful Marilyn! Have you ever been there?
Well, I think this is enough for today…
I’ll see you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
