Hi everyone!
Thank you so much to everyone who joined our July RVA eBay Seller Chapter Meeting — both in person and virtually! It was a wonderful evening full of insight, great conversation, and meaningful connection.
💡 Meeting Highlights:
✅ We explored July seller updates including:
Upgraded tracking tools now launching in Seller Hub
New fashion condition grades rolling out August 5
The phase-out of “Seller Refurbished” in certain categories
USPS shipping rate increases and nonstandard fees starting July 13
A reminder about shipping suspensions to Israel and Iraq
✅ We celebrated eBay for Charity and how sellers like you are making a difference! I’ve donated $810.97 so far in 2025 to Robin’s Hope, a local mental health nonprofit. If you’re curious about how giving back can grow your business and your impact, I’d love to chat.
✅ We shared upcoming opportunities like eBay Open25 (Aug 12–14) and I forgot to mention: the newly available Q3 $25 shipping supply coupon (available now for Basic Store subscribers and up — expires Sept 30). Great for boxes, tape, tissue, stickers, and more!

🔜 Next Meeting:
🗓️ Tuesday, August 5 (one week earlier than usual!)
⏰ 6:30–8:00 PM ET
📍 In-person in Chesterfield OR join virtually!
Mark your calendar — I’ll be heading to Vegas for eBay Open25 the following week, so we’re meeting early in August.
🆕 Idea: Virtual Listing Party
On July 23, I'm hosting a Virtual Listing Party — a low-key, fun way to tackle your “profit pile” (formerly known as the death pile 😅) with support from fellow sellers.
🕗 8:00 AM–12:00 PM EDT
🧺 You acquire ~10 items to list
📸 I’ll be live on camera listing too
💬 We help each other with titles, pricing, category questions — anything that comes up!
No thrifting required — just show up, list, and connect.
As always, thank you for being part of our community. I’m so proud of what we’re building together — your questions, encouragement, and energy make each meeting better than the last 💙
See you in August —
