3 days since opened

Its been 3 days since I started my fab gals shop on Ebay and Ive managed to sell 1 item. I couldn't beleive it when there was a purchase so I have now put on quite a few more and been able to upgrade my shop to place 100 items not just 10. 
Im now waiting for all the ladies to flood to my shiop and purchase! We will see!
I have bracelets, earrings and clutch bags.

Although right now I have managed to spend more than I have earnt.  Infact I havent earned anything as you can guess.  Is it true that it takes 2 years to set up a business before you earn any income? And should I actually give it 2 years of my money before I do earn any back.  Scary thought!! Maybe I should be the one starting a website for people to sell on my website then I actually might make some money! Obviously another downfall would be I would have to put out even more money which unfortunately I do not have :(

Anyway lets see what happens this next week on my ebay shop fab gals??

OMG Iv sold my 1st bracelet within the 1st 24 hours!

Well Its good news I cant beleive it!

I have sold a Shamballa Bracelet in the first 24 hours.  I have been so busy all day with helping with the local elections I havn't been able to check my shop all day.  I also had doubts of if it will ever work, I spoke about this on my other blog. Eventually I leisurely turned my pc on after 5pm and there it was one item sold!! So I feel a little better about the fee I payed for the first month. 1 down 8 to go... 

Lets see if this continues.....?  woohoooo to my fab gals

dare to be a warrior for there is no success without effort

This is the first blog I have ever done so bare with me while I find my feet.

So Im starting my first Ebay shop called Fab gals.  I have managed to pay £14.99 for the month and I have put 9 items on there.  Shamballa Bracelets to be exact.  I have no idea how this is going to turn out but I hear some people talk of the great experiences they have when selling their belongings on Ebay.  On the down side I have also heard many tell me its a waste of time and you are paying for Ebay to grow and grow while you fall and fall. Well we can only fall if we dont try.  I heard a saying once it goes like this : Dare to be a warrior for there is no success without effort. Its up to you how true you think or feel this is.  I am only trying Ebay for goodness sake its not like im launching a new brand of air?

So I have 9 items active at the moment, as I can only put a maximum of 10 in my shop until I have verified my account !OK so Im thinking Iv already paid out 15quid and already got to wait to verify....! Once you have put your monthly fees in you also have to pay for each item you list 25p per listing then any aditional costs on top If you wish to add things to make your sale more attractive etc.  I on the other hand have only had to pay 40p per item Seen as Im a bit shady.  Lets add it up, 40p x 9 items = £3.60 plus the items I bought to put in my ebay shop and the £14.99 for this month.... lets just say its been an expensive 2 days for me I hope I get some bids so I can get my money back!

If you have any tips for me on my situation Id love to hear them! Thank you for reading my blog and ill be back to updat you on my experiences shortly!
