BubbleWrap, Paypal, Weekly Update

Hope sales were great for you this week. I had a decent week - no complaints. I'm up to 920ish listings. I had a fraudulent Paypal charge this week - the rep I spoke to said she could tell the number was pinned in somewhere. It was strange, but luckily I noticed the email from Paypal about my recent "Debit Pin Transaction" and knew something was up because I hadn't used my Paypal debit card in days.

  

This sold for about $13 this week I listed it as something like

Vegan/Vegetarian Thanksgiving Humor Cross Stitch 

Paid $1

Any guesses what it's really about? Is it really vegan humor? I don't know.

 

Arbor Rose/True Rose pattern mixed lot

Sold for $35.99

This has been listed for about a year

as you can see from my old photo set up (on an ironing board)

Probably paid $4

 

These pants sold on auction for $76 and then I got the dreaded "I accidentally bid" message.

I relisted them BIN $75 and they sold a few days later to a costume house in California. Maybe they'll end up in a movie! Not bad for an item I found in the trash.

 

This plus some fish tank plants which sold for $5ish make my trash sales this week around $80!

 

I sold two of these (one black, one pink) I bought them at Marshalls on clearance for $10. They sold for $26.99 F/S - a profit of about $13. Not great, but not a total bust. I thought I could get more as the MSRP was $110-$120 on them. I still have one to sell.
