Not surprisingly, the virus is affecting eBay.

I sell items related to a specific vintage doll, and international customers tell me they can no longer accept packages from abroad. New Zealand and Australia people cancelled just last night. I'll just relist and specify U.S. only, but we might see restrictions here too.

Maybe time to take a break.

Started with 2 items and one was a doll. Both are items I figured would sit in the mall for a year or two, so what the heck. One was an old German Doll not in perfect shape, but old. Started it a 99 cents yesterday and with 4 bids it is up to almost $20. Started a couple of candle holders at the same 99 cents and have the first bid on it too.
We've to something to do with our time now. I have two trunks full of photo and post cards and we like the idea of easy to mail items.
Reading your post we might just list USA only to them. Thanks for the post.

We sure need things to keep us busy for a while. I'll list again when I'm comfortable going to the post office, which won't be for a few months. At least with post cards, you can just drop them in a mailbox. Good luck!

It’s ether toss it out or sell on the internet. Looking at candle sticks, most of the sold “buy it now”. I really don’t need tons of items stored. I’d rather start it for 99 cents and get it gone. My friend started a padlock at $9.99 and it was so much fun watching it go up to $2,350.00.

The virus has affected everything, everybody, and the whole world. Getting scary as more people become infected.
