Please join Charlene Davis, author of “How to Sell Clothing, Shoes & Accessories on eBay” and co-author of “Make Big Profits on eBay,” as she chats with members about the importance of using strategic keywords in auction titles and listings.

'Accounting' made simple and easy for the eBay business owner!
This workshop will be held on Wednesday, May 23rd from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 pm Pacific time. The mere mention of the word "accounting" frightens most people. But when you think about the basics of accounting (or bookkeeping), you are simply tracking the funds coming into and the funds going out of your business. The two most important reasons you must do accounting are to help you make good business decisions and to prepare the ever dreaded "income tax return" for your business. As an eBay member, accounting should be a simple process that allows you to track income (funds in) and expenses (funds out) of your business; it should not be (and does not have to be) a complex method of debits, credits, and double entry bookkeeping procedures. Join Phyllis Wischer during this workshop to gain a better understanding of what accounting means to you, an eBay business owner.
