I opened my shop July 7th and sold my first items yesterday! I nearly had a mental breakdown! My heart was racing and I was freaking, "What do I do? What do I do"?? I don't know if anyone else ever felt that way with their first sale? Just takes a bit of getting used to Paypal and printing an invoice and shipping notifications. But I did it. So nice of the lady to take a chance and buy from me when it showed I had 0 feedback and 0 sales!! I appreciate her having a little faith!! Well now I'm in business!
Yay!! Congrats! I Just got my first sale the other day too :) I was super pumped! When I saw the notification on my phone I gasped out loud and kind of freaked out everyone in the room. Haha! It was pretty funny that out of all the handmade listings I have my first sale was 2 yards of fabric :)
Congratulations :) That first sale is pretty scary and exciting! But it does get less overwhelming. Best of luck with your shop and hope the sales continue!
I just got my second real sale this week (a sale from someone I don't know personally) and it felt weird, too! Definitely exciting, but still like 'someone really likes what I'm doing? really??'! Hooray for us!
the first sale is the sweetest :) I was totally hyped up about my first one too - even went to read Sellers Handbook about what to do after your first sale, lol!
Congratulations! I made my first sale this month and yes, I was so overwhelmed with relief and panic at the same time. It does get less scary, but it's always cool.
Thanks so much everyone for all your kind and encouraging words!! I wish you all continued success! And thanks for being there with all your support and knowledge you really are an amazing group!! Have a great weekend!
