I am first... I WILL BE LAST

[barefoot.biker]

I’m good 🤗there have been tough bits easy bits, happy and sad bits encountered along life’s highway.

and you? 

[peteryola]

Sounds like pretty much the same for me in summary...

I'm not trading on here any more; haven't been for several years now - posting only.  Got fed up with the constant confusion of rule and fee changes, often at very short notice, so I have my own website now.  I'd better not name it on here or the mods will be down like a tonne of bricks!!!

[barefoot.biker]

Hardly surprising. I’m looking for a different way to sell my little unwanted bits and pieces and the bits I sell for charity. This place has become just a little bit too (hmmmmm can’t think of the right word that’s allowed) for my liking. I’ve just joined a couple of other auction/selling platforms and am going to try them out see how it goes.  I sometimes wonder how it is that eBay keep changing the rules etc for private sellers to make their selling experience more and more displeasurable yet we continue to use the bloomin place. I keep retiring my selling account then for some bizarre reason bring it back to life.  Perhaps it’s a form of self harm 😂🤣

That sounds to me like there's an element of "let's give it one more go" in there... and again... and again...?

Don't know if you've been able to find my website to have a look at it?  If not... I'm not sure how I can say on here what it's called, but it's easy to locate if you just think what I might have called it... and if you work it out, you'll laugh! 🙂 

[barefoot.biker]

I found you 😂🤣 them readers digest make great bathroom reads 😂

so do you sell much? And how do people who don’t know you find you?

[peteryola]

Well done on finding me - and you can see I've been a bit sneaky with the website URL haven't I...?! 🤣

Haven't sold anything yet...!!! 😖

The main problem is, of course, getting enough people to look at the site that someone will eventually buy something.  It's also only fairly recently that I've been adding a lot of things to it.  I do push it a bit on social media where I can.

It probably doesn't help that there's a glitch which prevents me from updating the date on the home page so it looks like I haven't uploaded anything for years - but if you looked at the dates on some of the paintings, you'll see they're very recent.  Same with the magazines.

[barefoot.biker]

Glitches, glitches! Always a glitch.

Can’t say I noticed the URL. Are you the artist? 

[peteryola]

The URL is the same as the name of the website... and it's the website name really that's the sneaky bit! 🙂

Yes, all the listed paintings are ones I've done myself.

[cke786]

My my, a returnee!

[peteryola]

Hopefully not the only one............................................................?

[cke786]

Fingers crossed!

[peteryola]

It would certainly be good to have a few regulars again.

[cke786]

Thing is are they even still on eBay?

[peteryola]

There are a few people who have been around for a while who are occasionally posting on various threads, so at least some of them are.

[cke786]

Maybe throw a barbeque to get them back? 😂
