This morning it happened, not the fulfillment of the entire nightmare, but enough to cause a spate of anxiety in my eBay world. I opened my site to find that 9 items have sold overnight. Oh, that won't make me rich; the total is only $20. The problem is twofold.
First, I have to locate the items, from wherever they're stored in my house. I have over 100 items listed because I'm attempting to clear the clutter before everything ends up in the dumpster. I'm not emotionally attached to all this stuff. It's just that the longer these articles have remained in my house, the more I feel compelled to, as it were, re-home them. So I've taken advantage of the free listings, some of which have been renewed over months and months. So where the heck did I put that little box? The search is on.
Second, I need to find shipping containers, and packaging materials. That is a constant problem with oddly shaped and variously weighted items. Many will go First Class, so the container must be fairly lightweight. If the item is breakable or fragile, it has to be securely packed. I'll have to go buy some bubblewrap, tissue paper, small sturdy boxes, and probably more shipping tape.
At least only about 10% of the listed items sold as of this morning, not all 100+, which is the stuff of my recurring nightmare.
