Help Wanted
I’m filling out legal mumbo jumbo to get resell rights for a product. I’ve uploaded the form into “My Ebay Next Steps “Legal” Forum” if you want to take a closer look. Talk about fustrating. Here’s the two blanks they want numbers for:
Certificate of Registration: Number of Vendor
and
Certificate of Registration: Number of Purchaser
Are they asking for my EIN and TAX ID numbers here?
Who the heck knows? Maybe you do
If anyone’s been there and done that and wants to shed some light on the subject go to my My Ebay Next Steps “Legal” Forum and take a look.

Now it all begins. I’ve grown a new set of eyeballs changing the perspective of the world around me. I no longer casually walk by the endless stream of consumer goods marketed all about me. Now I place my virtual feet inside your shoes and try to perceive the hot items you’re interested in.
Americans are voracious consumers with an enormous supply of disposable income. Whenever I listen to the “Blues”, I mean “News” report on the horrible condition of our economy I think back to the last time Janet and I went out for dinner and we couldn’t get a table anywhere in under 45 minutes. It must be that restaurants in the thriving Megalopolis of South Bend Indiana are always jam packed with unemployed workers.

Knock Before Entering

Alright that’s it! I’ve had enough of my son, now home on summer vacation, peaking his long-haried head in my office door and letting loose with his puberty changed voice,
“Dad!”
It’s kind of a short choppy sounding
“Dad!”,
dripping with urgency. The kind that shoots the hairs on your back on end like a porcupine.
I just about wet my pants today when he said “Dad!”
I mean the kid’s voice has changed 16 octives lower in last three weeks, he sounds like one of the Righteous Brothers of the 60’s. It’s freaking me out!

“Re”………”Creation”…….Ah it feels so good!
“Recreation”, what a great word! This word takes on so much more meaning to me these days. To “Re-Create” myself anew each day is critical to my success. Thoughts of failure lurk in the shadows waiting to launch sneak attacks on every decision I take during the day.
I find myself resting in the arms of “Re-Creation”, taking time to get away from the day’s anxieties attempting to crowd out my creativity in the beginning phases of my eBay adventure.
One thing is necessary to my success and that’s my belief in its future no matter who, what, why or when’s surface telling me I can’t with their mouth, words or with their eyes.

Internet Gold Rush
Is it possible to make an honorable living online today? I “aims” to find out. The deeper I sink into this rabbit’s hole the more crap I’m sure to find. I recently received another email from one of the countless “Expert Online Entrepreneur’s making a gazillion bucks off product recommendations through their ever growing email list.
What startles the daylights out of me is the utter lack of consciousness these “Expert Online Entrepreneurs have toward those who put their trust in them.

Powerful “Reasons”

Why did I start off on my eBay adventure? What images will buoy me to the surface when I sink below rough water’s?
Maybe I’ll imagine huge piles of 20-dollar bills littered throughout my estate or myself in a 3-piece Armani with a 6 inch Macanudo hanging from my lips as I blurt out the day’s orders to my Vice Presidents and Directors. Maybe I’ll hold fast to intangible images like personal freedom and the thrill of the challenge.
