joy eats

i had my first experience with ebay this week. well.. the process of preparation actually started a few weeks ago. since it was my first time, so i had no clue how and what i was doing.. thanks to a friend who i will remain unnamed.. because he said he'll be embarrassed. =p He spend a good amount of time taking pictures for me and editing each one for the web. Then he spend another hour or two trying to write up the perfect description for my item. we looked through hundreds of similar sites to get an idea which information are needed to post. He was trying to put in as many key words as possible to maximize the chances of my item showing up when people do the search. The item was finally ready for bid late last week! yay right?? but the game had just begun...
i had to keep watch the progress once a day. then when people who showed interested started asking me questions. =O "what do i say to ___?" became the most frequent one line email that i've send to my friend during the week.
But before i know it, the week was over and the item was sold! i was a little surprised that the whole transaction was so quick. now i just have to wait for the check to be clear, then ship the item away. today as i packaged the item for shipping, i got a tiny little bit sad.. it's really leaving.. =(
