D is always wanting us (read: me) to list more stuff on eBay, regardless of how busy I might be otherwise, which is particularly true during the summer. Well he decided that today was the day he'd learn how to list items on eBay.
*evil, evil grin*
After boxing everything up, he decided that was the worst part of the whole process. After cropping and renaming the pictures he decided that was the worst part of the whole process. After writing the listings and attaching the photos- yeah, you get the idea. Fortunately, he had me for the postage portion because there was no way I could teach him the ins and outs of that in an evening. He also had me for proof-reading and title correcting, but he really did the bulk of the work himself (I was merciless, and possibly laughing).
None of it is particularly difficult, but it can be terribly tedious, especially when it's an item that you know nothing about - which, in my case, would be most of them. He did have the advantage of knowing the details of what things were, but he definitely gained a new appreciation for the time and effort it takes. Not to mention why I glare quite so much when he wants to add in extra items to a week's listings at the last minute.
I ran around cleaning, doing laundry, and washing dishes while he worked the better part of the day on listing 11 items. Mind you, he's always wanted to list (at least) 50 items a week.
Best. Day. Ever.
