To Ebay or Not to Ebay - That is the question
As a vintager, I obviously pride myself on the concept of being green, recycling, and not being wasteful or wasting money on consumerism and material goods.
Yet, here I am, trying to sell my fun finds on ebay, only to be packing tiny items in large padded envelopes covered in tape, shipping just about everywhere, which costs money in fuel, air conditioning in the mailroom where it is sorted, and ultimately more garbage when it arrives at its destination.
Now, back to basics. Although this won't widen my market, perhaps it makes a TON more sense to sell locally. Staying within Toronto, I know there's a great market of trendy, fun, interesting dressers like myself! Simple, easy transactions, without a huge percentage going to greedy conglomerates like Ebay and Paypal, which essentially rob the small, honest sellers blind. I'm sure we can all appreciate that!
Local it is. You are welcome :~)
