Marge Holdorf - Luvn Dogz Ebay Store

Owner of "Luvn Dogz" Ebay Store Marge Holdorf has been selling on eBay since 2000. Marge & her husband Russ have been doing eBay full time since last August.

Hi I'm Marge. My husband, Russ, and I have been selling on eBay since 2000.

He has a model car and car literature collection that he started collecting about 48 years ago. He started out on eBay by buying more cars to add to his collections. I managed to talk him into selling some of his duplicates to help pay for his new acquisitions. Well, he did so well that we both got hooked on buying and selling. Initially he worked at it part time and I did whatever I could do to help, also on a part time basis.

He quit his job last August and we have both been working at eBay full time since then. In anticipation of his freedom and our independence day, in June of last year I started laying the groundwork for other eBay businesses to help support us. Currently we have his: "weemotors", mine: "maryrussel" and ours:"Luvn Dogz". Luvn Dogz is our eBay store and the other two are auction IDs. We opened the Luvn Dogz store about a month ago. We are having lots of fun even though we are putting in 12 hour days 7 days a week and haven't had an actual vacation since we started selling in 2000. I wouldn't do that for any employer but myself.

Since I have had other non-internet businesses, I really appreciate eBay. An eBay business is easier and less expensive to change course in midstream if something isn't working.

I owe my success with eBay stores to many people and sources:

• eBay: eBay has given me the opportunity to use my various experiences, interests and skills to become independent. THANKS EBAY!!!


• My husband, Russ, who started selling car related collections on eBay in 2000 and through his success and enthusiasm, hooked me on doing my own thing.


• My dogs (current and past): If it weren't for them I wouldn't know first hand what dogs like and need, and what pet owners need to keep dogs safe, comfortable, and content.


• My various wholesale product sources.


• All of the terrific information that is available on eBay, eBay U, Griff, and the Store and Seller Boards.


• Free Auction Scripts


• eBay Stores Sidewalk Sale (ESSS) Site Ring.


• And most of all, all of my really great customers.
