Kevin, so here’s a tip. I like to upcycle and I build miniatures so I use a lot of things like cereal boxes & the plastic clear containers that rolls come in etc. So with that thought I had some rubber bands damage some of my posters so I started using the cardboard rolls that paper towels are on. You can also use the rolls from wrapping paper. I’ve used those as well. ❤

Those cardboard tubes are ok for short term but can cause acid burns long term. just buy some poster sleeves for rolled posters. The sleeves also prevent dust gathering on the poster when stored.

Loved Paul Harvey as a kid. I'd listen to him while running around with my dad in his old beat up pickup truck. That pause Paul did always made me feel like there was more to come so I wanted to listen to him more. As soon as you said radio and pause I thought of Paul. That pause was iconic for me. Thanks for bringing back such great memories. The best to you and yours.

We use promoted listings for items that don’t have great STR but have a lot of competition. It often gets us a more profitable sale than selling low. We don’t do promoted listings for items with decent STR or that have very little competition.

Shipping tip: I used to ship jewelry and other small items in plastic Easter Eggs, stuffed with tissue so the item couldn't move. Run packing tape around the seam so the egg can't open. Padded bubble mailer, sealed and taped. The eggs are tougher than you'd think, and since they have zero flat surfaces other packages can't land flat on them and bust stuff. Bought at yard sales (or found in the free box!) or after Easter they're dirt cheap, and in many countries eggs are considered lucky. In 15 years or so of eBay selling I never had anything arrive broken, so it works as long as the egg is packed properly and taped shut. (leave a pull tab with the tape folded over so people can get the egg open.)

"tangents" aka "teachable moments" make a teacher go from a great teacher to a PHENOMENAL TEACHER. They take the time to teach something attached and are able to pull it back in.

I've been selling on ebay for 24 years. I have never, ever promoted a listing. I also opted out of the recent pass the shipping discounts through to buyers. We all know that shipping costs more than just postage. There are all the packing supplies, and then ebay charges about 12% in final value fees on shipping. So far sales are good. I really thought ebay would penalize me for keeping the discount. I list and post new items every single day. When I do several listings, I will save some as drafts so I have something to post every day.

I've done a few Promoted Listings just to try it out (or with items with upcoming expiration dates), but it is very rare, and it mostly does no additional good. It's mostly just eBay squeezing more money out of sellers. If you're selling good items, buyers will find them regardless. If eBay spent as much time advertising for new buyers as they did for Promoted Listings, we wouldn't even need to promote those listings, if that makes sense...
