After 8 long years of cross-country travels, 5 different galleries, so many different art fairs, and so many different gallery pieces, 17,000 paintings on eBay (maybe over a thousand paintings before eBay) and a thousand paintings on Etsy, my projector finally gave out on me today. But I'm happy to have my brand new projector that only cost me $40, and it is so much better than my last one because it is brighter, faster, and it brings excitement back to me again.

I see there is a way to put our sites on vacation if we are going to be gone. Will this hurt our business ... the algorithm, etc? Will eBay penalize us?

I’ve spent the last Couple days reviewing feedback, and really thinking about our mission here. Businesses pivot and change all the time and I'm doing my best to make a great experience for everyone. My goal has always been simple:Help as many people as possible start making money selling art on eBay and build self confidence. And I realized something… Putting any price on the beginner community — even $7 — creates a barrier I don’t want. I want people to get in, get started, and feel the momentum right away. I NEED your help if you see Spammers, Robots or Unsolicited Self Promotions. Let me know. So here’s what I’m doing: 1️⃣ The Standard Community Is Still FREE. Anyone can join, but I'll do a better job with application questions to avoid spammers and keep the culture clean and focused. Inside the NEW Free Community you’ll get: - A starter set of beginner courses - 7 Day activity Challenge - The basics you need to get moving - A place to post artwork and stay around like-minded people - A warm environment to learn the foundation This aligns with the original mission:Get you started. Get you painting. Get you selling. 2️⃣ The Elite Community Stays the Same For those who want to go deeper, faster, and tap into the full system: $47/month or $333/year (5 months free) Elite still includes: - The full Projector Method training - The complete 14-Day Sales Activity - All templates, titles, descriptions - Weekly Live calls and advanced strategies - Priority support - Everything you need to turn this into income consistently Nothing changes in ELITE. This is the engine for people who are serious about building a real income. 3️⃣ If YOU Already Paid the $7 — I can refund you in Full or Apply it Towards Elite Membership. It’s my way of saying thank you for trusting me early. It's only been a month since we started and I'm still learning myself. I appreciate your support and feedback. Please let me know if you have any questions, I appreciate You,

I think one of the things that is the most hard for me right now is "KINDLY TRAINING" those around me that I have BLOCKS of time I need to work on ebay painting and uploads. I see now why @Corbellic Studio has those modules on distractions etc. I literally have to put my phone in the other room for a time out and tell people I have blocked out times right now and not to be upset with me for not taking calls or responding during those times. I felt overload this morning.....

HeIlo everyone, I was able to do 8 painting in two hours. That's not including some sketches. Here are some of them.
