You should get it set up Kerry - I think you'd already have a few pre-orders from here btw!
Enjoy the housesitting btw!

I did sell something on eBay once, as a one-off only, but I don't know how to set-up what you call an "eBay shop." How do I do that? Is it easy to do? I don't suppose you could give me a few pointers on how to set up my own shop on eBay? Is it free to do? Any tips you could give me would be muchly appreciated, Kelda. :D

Its free as far as I believe Kerry!
I dont have a shop as I sell stuff sporadically but you need a payapl account for starters - as people general buy using paypal these days. Here's some links!

Thank you kindly for that info, Kelda. That may give me a bit of a spurt-on.
I'll just go have some breakfast and then look through your links at my leisure. I painted a small abstract earlier this year, specifically for sale on eBay, so I have one painting ready to go in the shop window, when I open my shop. Depending on how successful I am with it, I may paint (and sell) more. Failure, thy name is procrastination!!! I've just gotta get off my backside and get organised! I need an agent! Thanks again for the links, Kelda. :-* :-* :D

Hi Kerry! I'm glad that you made it okay through the storm! Did businesses or schools have to close?

Yep, it was all done and dusted (groan!) in 24 hours, Shasta, but looked like the end of the world at the time! :o
I didn't hear of businesses or schools closing. However, many flights to Sydney airport were either cancelled or diverted. Sydney's extensive ferry fleet was mostly cancelled for the day and extra buses were put on to carry the ferry passengers the long way around. On last night's television news it was reported that restaurants and cafes couldn't serve at their outdoor tables. And main street, shop-front stores had lots of trouble keeping their indoor stock clean, 'cause everytime a customer opened the front door, they took a ton of dust in with them, carried on the fierce winds that were blowing. Also, most schools kept children indoors throughout the day and they had their lunch indoors, rather than in the school yard.
I'm glad to see the end of it. Where I'm house-sitting this week, I'm looking after my friend's prized rose garden while he's away. Well, what a mess it was yesterday! All covered in orange dust. But despite the fierce winds, I noticed this morning that only three stems have been broken. All the other roses survived. I gave them a good hosing this morning and they're looking lovely now.
My breathing became quite laboured last night and I had to take an allergy pill, which solved the problem and I slept soundly.
