Tori Spelling has opened up to OK! Magazine about the recent birth of her daughter, Stella Doreen.

Stella Doreen? Where did that come from?

Anyways…..Tori gushed that the birth of her daughter was a “miracle”. Tori stated, “When I saw Stella for the first time, I just bawled my face off out of pure joy”.

Ohhh so happy…..I hope this all works out for Tori…..

Wonder if Candy Spelling will be seeing her new grand daughter anytime soon?

I first off want to apologize for not having my blog ready last week as I promised. I had major difficulty switching over to the web-hosted platform of WordPress last weekend, and had to have a consultant actually install the WordPress download for me. I guess my problem from the beginning was my error in trying to “reset” my WordPress password from my “Settings” tab. I’m not sure if anyone of you out there have had the same issue but apparently the “reset” function actually has a bug so the reset doesn’t work. Over and over again I was resetting my password only to be denied over and over again at the login screen.

Again….I am very sorry…This is a new blog so trying to update the site daily has been quite the task over the past week. With much help from the WordPress consultants and the forums I’m up and running again.

I’m still trying to make adjustments to the theme that I’m currently using, and trying to understand the world of plugins. So much to try out!

Again, sorry for the holdup and thank you for your patience!

Lets ROLL!!!

A little over two years ago I began selling used retail clothing and electronics on eBay. At the time I knew little about the buying or selling world of online auctions. I first started out selling gently used Abercrombie & Fitch clothing to free up closet space.

Did I really need to know that much about eBay to sell a few pieces of clothing? come to find out…YES!

My idea to list a few pairs of A&F jeans on eBay didn’t turn out so great. A $200 pair of Ezra Fitch jeans sold to a buyer for less than $25! That wasn’t the profit I was looking to make.

Over the next two years I watched “Top Sellers” and others in my market to figure out how to draw in traffic, sell quick, and receive positive feedback from my buyers.

The following is my guide on: “How To Effectively Sell On eBay”

1. Do some background work- In recent months I decided to list some very pricey “Rock & Republic” men’s jeans on eBay. My first order of business was checking out what other sellers were offering in terms of quality and price. Check the competition, are they selling a product similar? Are there any differences in the item you are offering? Also remember to check out what other sellers list their ”shipping costs” as. You do not want to scare potential customers off with high shipping dues so make sure to check out either USPS.com or UPS.com for shipping rates.

2. Gather your information – One of the most important parts of setting up your “items description” is gathering the correct information to include for bidders. 9 times out of 10 you will receive a message from a buyer interested in more details than the ones you have provided. Start off by writing down a detailed list of the product you are listing. For example —- color, model, serial number, make, condition, size, flaws, retail price, etc.     * Be specific so you won’t end up having to repeat yourself over and over to pushy bidders!

3. Be specific! - As stated above it is very important to provide your bidders with detailed information about the product or service you are selling. When you fill out the “description” be sure to fill out each specified criteria, this will allow bidders to understand exactly what it is that they are looking at, or if maybe this wasn’t the product they were necessarily looking for. And remember, it would be very wise of you to take photos of what your selling. With each item that I list on Ebay I always remember to include photos of what I am offering. When I talked about “pushy people”, this is usually the one area in which buyers do not let you slide. Buyers want to see photos of what they are looking to purchase, including photos of any problems or flaws that the product might have.

* Please remember, when you are filling out your “description” there is an option to select from called “Gallery Plus”, this option enables you to include a thumbnail photo with your items description once your item is indexed in the eBay search engine. This small thumbnail can be clicked to view larger photos of the items that you are selling. From personal experience this really makes a difference with buyers because generally when they search the eBay listings, they tend to skip over results that do not include a photo of the item being offered. If you haven’t already realized, almost all sellers include the “Gallery Plus” option so don’t miss out! Gallery Plus is an additional $0.35 so don’t forgo this great tool!

Swizz Beatz recently gave an interview to MTV about the rumors that are flying around that Alicia Keys was the cause of his split with wife Mashonda. During his interview Swizz was more interested in talking about his projects with Michael Jackson and his offer to design Gulfstream Jets.

Dude is doing some big stuff!

Swizz did address the rumors about his marriage by stating, ”My divorce, it ain’t nothing bad. It’s just us moving on. Me and Shonda are super good. It is what is is. [The press] are nine months late on the situation. It’s a headache to me. We have been separated nine or 10 months already.”

When asked about the rumors of him hooking up with Alicia Keys Swizz stated, “I’m not hding anything. I can see if I was hiding something. I’m a grown man. Nobody is living no perfect life. They [the press] look at Alicia Keys. That sh– is ignorant.”

Swizz said the only “hooking up” that he has done with Alicia Keys was on the remix for her “Teenage Love Affair” track.
