Speed up the listing process!

We've all been there;
you come home with a bunch of great new treasures
to list at your auction site, and, BAM!, it hits you...

this is gonna be a lot of work!

Well, here's your OLA Tuesday Tidbit,
courtesy of Rowen, a.k.a. Ragmop:

Now a member can list one after
another without starting them,
(they will go to the saved folder).
The member can then go to the saved folder,
check the box at the bottom of the page
labeled Select/Unselect All
and then from the select action box
they select Start Selected.

This method can also be used to ‘bulk’ cancel,
turn auto relist on, and turn auto relist off!

What a time-saver!
This will be especially useful for me, when I get
serious about listing all my baseball cards!
(I have thousands... )

For the fastest listing times,
be sure to make yourself a template!
You can have many templates, and create unique
designs to showcase specific
items / categories in your store,
or just start with a general template or two,
and use it for each and every listing.

The possibilities are endless... and all up to you!

Going away?
This bulk edit option will let you store all that
hard work in the saved folder until your return.
Don't be gone too long, though...
the system purges itself in about 90 days!
(And you'll be missed!)

Artesania Rinconada

Artesania Rinconada.
Collectible hand-crafted animals, from Montevideo, Uruguay.
I was lucky enough to find 14 of these treasures...
which will be offered for sale on OnlineAuction.com!

Read about the artists:

Artesania Rinconada was founded in Montevideo, Uruguay,
by twin brothers, Jesus & Javier Carbajales.
Born in Spain, the twins moved to Uruguay in 1936,
when the Spanish Civil War erupted,
but never forgot their spanish roots.
Focusing upon nature, they released the Classic Collection in 1972.
Over the years, other collections have been added, such as,
The Silver Anniversary Collection, Rincababies,
the Emerald Collection, and the DeRosa Box & Dolls Collections.

Highly collectible, these figurines are
still widely popular in stores today.
Many of the older pieces are now retired and difficult to find.

OLA is for Horse Lovers!

For those of you who don't know, I love horses!
All shapes, colors, breeds, & sizes!
This love affair came about when I was just a child.
I wasn't always able to be around them,
but for the past 8 years or so,
I've been lucky enough to pass my time with
Quincy, a sorrel quarter horse gelding.

So, being a horse person, & an OLA seller,
I thought I'd see what I could find for
"horse people" on OLA!

And if you are a horse person, too,
you know that horses come with a lot of STUFF!
Let me show you today just what kind of
bargain hunting you can do at OnlineAuction.com...

What do you expect for online sales in 2009?

• WHAT'S IN THE FUTURE?
  I just read an article on AOL predicting that as many as 14,000 retail stores could close in the next year. Yikes! They didn't mention online retailers, but where does that leave us, the treasure hunters, the flea market sellers, the Mom & Pop shops? The article refers to a "shop-til-you-drop" mentality and the possibility that it may soon be a thing of the past for many Americans.
  
  Truth be told, I haven't shopped 'til I dropped since I was foot-loose and fancy-free, without the responsibilites of parenthood! We have, in recent years though, cut back on our family spending, almost unconciously, as bills grew larger and available funds grew smaller. We still spend though, and I pray to find my favorite retailers online for years to come.
  
  So instead of talking about what we all have for sale, let's talk about our buying habits.
  
  
• BUYING ONLINE
  I've been buying stuff online for 10 years! I can't even remember the first thing I ever bought, but I've found plenty of clothing, jewelry, books, cd's, dvd's, musical instruments, sporting goods, & miscellaneous goodies over the years. My favorite find is anything to do with King Arthur! What's your favorite thing to buy online? And where?
  
  The best part about buying online is being able to shop in your jammies, with a cup of java by your side, don't you think? You can research your product without driving all over town, and you can find the best deals with a click of your mouse! I don't always Google... sometimes I know exactly where I want to shop. Other times, I'll do comparison shopping at large retail stores, or check to find out if a product is available at my local store, like Target, (I love that store!). Always, I check to see if that same product is available at OnlineAuction.com, which feels like my second home.
  
  
• WHAT, WHEN, WHERE
  In thinking about where online retailers will be in 2009, I am wondering about the people who are already accustomed to shopping online. Will they change their habits? For me, I usually shop for things that are needed, like birthday & holiday gifts, so my shopping will not change much. My last purchase on OLA was for a holiday gift, and it came from build-a-box, who gave me a great deal on a computer tablet for my teenager! Ooh, I got lots of great holiday gifts, from a number of OLA sellers, like brightgems4u, draggontagger, supergranny, & anniemae! (That's only naming a few, and not meant to slight any others.) And just this week, I ordered the movie Anchors Aweigh from Turner Classic Movies. What did you buy recently???
  
  
  
  
  
• WHAT'S NEXT?
  I've got a bookmark list on OLA. (Don't we all have lists?) Right now, in no particular order, I've got items bookmarked from 6 different sellers. My next purchase will probably be from VictoriousRival... she's got some Anti Monkey Butt Powder that would make a fantastic gag gift to sneak into the Welcome Back To College box that I will be sending my son at the end of the month!
  
  So, I'll be doing my small part to help keep our online friends active and afloat. And I will continue to shop online all through 2009, concentrating on supporting my fellow OLA sellers. What will you do?
  
  
  
  
• GET INVOLVED!
  Something's always cookin' at OLA! For starters, check out the Wednesday Wave, or the Fabulous Friday Sales, in which you'll find specials from 30 to 50 unique sellers. Watch the OLA News Page, for upcoming events. And whenever you're in the shopping mood, don't forget to relax at your computer for awhile, before hitting the mall!
  
  Of course, I want you to shop at OLA, but in reality, shopping anywhere online will help keep e-commerce alive, and hope in the hearts of all of us sellers.
