Online Workshops For the Week of December 12th
We would like to invite you to attend the following workshops this week:

About Me Page Design Basics
This workshop will be held on Monday, December 12th, from 13:00 PT to 14:00 PT. Did you know that every eBay member can have their own personal mini-website on eBay by creating an "About Me" page? Workshop hosts shipscript, *zip and merrygocats will discuss how to attract attention with your About Me page, focusing on basic page layout, use of color and fonts, photo placement, and how to format text to balance the page.

Sell Smarter - Finding the Best Time of Day, Week, and Year to Sell
This workshop will be held on Tuesday, December 13th, from 11:00 PT to 12:00 PT. Dave Popowich and Dave Frey, Brand Managers from eBay Certified Provider Terapeak, will introduce you to a variety of free and paid tools that eBay sellers can use to find out how long to list an item, what time of the day or week to end a listing, and what times of year see big spikes in demand. They will even show you a few cool trends that illustrate the spikes in sales that occur over the holiday season.

Packaging and Shipping Basics
This workshop will be held on Wednesday, December 14th, from 10:00 PT to 11:00 PT. Need help in deciding how to package and ship your eBay items? Not sure which supplies are best to use for your product? Please join Mark Le Vine of Bubblefast in a discussion on what supplies to use, how to get them, and other important information you will need to effectively ship your items.

Understanding & Managing your eBay Business Finances & Taxes
This workshop will be held on Friday, December 16th, from 11:00 PT to 12:00 PT. Greg Harrison, Founder and CTO of Mpire, will be joining us to discuss the importance of understanding financial management and taxes for your eBay business. You'll learn how to determine your profit & loss for your business, and how to effectively use a chart of accounts, cash register and earnings summary to track your business expenses.
