Repeat Buyer status
This is a lovely little feature on eBay that can help build ongoing relationships. In your orders list, "repeat buyer" will appear under the customer's name if they've bought from you more than once. Click on the buyer's name and one of the options is to send a coupon, which I do when a customer reaches a certain dollar value in multiple purchases. They get a freebie, you recognise their custom and they keep buying.

We're flooded in
I live in a small town 20kms from a large regional town. Our postman also collects the mail from the post boxes. We've had a once in a decade flood which has cut all roads (our little town is an island, but quite dry now), so no mail in or out for maybe another week. I'm still putting outgoing mail into the post box, which is well above the water line, and marking the sales as sent. I'm messaging buyers with details of the flooding and explaining that there will be at least a week's delay. Hopefully, they show a little compassion when it comes to leaving feedback!
Catalogues are only part of the story
It would be nice to think that stamp catalogues are comprehensive, but they're not. I've scanned a few minor Australian varieties to add to my store, and a few of them are unlisted in the Australian Commonwealth Specialised Catalogue. I've seen them before, and I know they're constant, yet I can't provide a catalogue number for them. The ACSC has always irked me for this, as page after page of content is dedicated to proofs and other items that 99% of collectors will never see, yet they can't find room for all known varieties.

No Coals to Newcastle, but Smiling Boys to New Zealand!
@Darren Knight you mentioned sending Korean stamps to Korea the other day, now I'm sending NZ to NZ. This nice pair of Smiling Boys is off to Auckland. I'm surprised they couldn't find better or cheaper in NZ, but happy they didn't!
