Cool Feedback ~ Just Cut & Paste To Your Feedback on eBay!

So you want to spice up your feedback with some of the more fun looking ones on eBay? Well I have combed through and collected some that I think are pretty cool. I use these in my automatic eBay feedback tool and that keeps rotating fresh ones for my buyers. Personally, I think adding these has a very POSITIVE effect on the buyer when they see these in their feedbacks and they in turn feel better about the transaction. So you might want to test my theory out, simply cut and paste the ones you like and use them in your feedback. Feel free to alter and tailor them to say what you want, I am...

No Offense, But That Is An Ugly Baby You Got There!!!

Dude, that is one UGLY-Ass Baby right? Of course it is! But would we tell the mother that? NO of course not, that is just not socially acceptable. But in business you really should not make it "your baby". You should not be that attached to your business tools (blog, processes, products, website, logo, etc.) You have got to REMOVE the PERSONAL! Comments about your business can not be taken personally. How in the world can a business survive if it is your "baby" and as such, immune to criticism? Dude, just check out the Ugly Baby video, LMAO! Recommend on Facebook...

Ladies and Gentleman The Sound of eBay’s “Voice” : Usher With His Latest Hits

You like the title? I think it is kind of a fun flip. No, it’s not that R&B Usher, nope. This Usher is a little more "light skinned" and probably does not dance as much, LMAO. Usher Lieberman is the Senior Manager of Corporate Communications at eBay North America. Pretty big title there and I really wanted to know what that meant and what he is tasked with. One thing that can make or break a relationship is communication. Most of the successful marriages, partnerships and friendships derive from good communication. In 2009, with social networking being all the buzz, the...

The eBay DSR 4-Star Misconception

By Cliff Aliperti I couldn’t get through John’s recent video post about eBay’s DSR’s and International trade without having an old bug bite me.  This one has bothered me for some time now and I decided I needed to try to lay it out.  When I mentioned it to John he pointed me to a video he made back in December.  After talking it over we decided the issue was worth another look from my perspective. The misconception referred to in this post’s title stems from this statement on the eBay Seller Performance Policy page: To ensure a minimum performance standard from all sellers, eBay...

I Do NOT Negotiate With Terrorist: Dealing With Feedback Extortion on eBay

Look man, I go a low tolerance for BS and I am sure the new show title of “B.S. Walks” makes that pretty clear. However, that show launch is over and it went pretty well for the launch. We do it every week now and it is all good. So the show planning is over and now its BACK to business! Here is the email I got today… So guess what? I wrote her 5 little words… (watch the video below) Ok, she responded back that “A little dramatic” in her email and then I wrote… She replied back “lesson learned” apologized and I gave he a DEEP discount and thanked her for her...

WOW! Today We Hit a Landmark of 60,000 Satisfied Customers, That ROCKS Dude!!!

I am just a little bit astonished at where we are in such a small about of time in our business. We have just surpassed 60K in unique eBay feedback and I am just a little proud of this accomplishment. What was started at my kitchen table as a way to AVOID bankruptcy has turned into something that has been able to ship items to every continent on the planet and yield a pleasant (NOT extravagant) lifestyle is AMAZING. I just have to reflect on how that feels and how it feels everyday to do what I am loving to do. From counting how much a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would save me in lunch...
