I officially started my e-bay bow making store. I also had my first customer the other day. She asked for an ivory bow...I made it and sent a picture to her then she asked for like 5 more. I continued the process of making the bow, take picture, upload the picture to troywilkins server for her to view, wait for her to respond, and so on and so forth. Lots of e-mails going back and forth between us. We finally came to the conclusion of 7 total. I list them and get them nice and packaged (tape and all) when I receive confirmation that she had paid me. I look at the e-mail and she decided not to get one of the bows. So I have to open the box and get the bow out, and start trying to refund the extra shipping paid. While I am trying to do this I keep getting e-mail notification pop ups from e-bay that was driving me crazy! THEN a message from her pops up...now what! She decided to BUY two more bows in addition to the ones I had already made for her! Are you kidding me! I then start to try and figure everything out and get it all right so I can send off her package (she needed one asap for a wedding) I finally get everything figured out/packed/refunded extra shipping etc. When it all ended I made about $35 bucks BUT I was completely stressed out the entire time and was SO GLAD to get that transaction over with!
