Reply to "Generating (Quick?) Feedbacks For An eBay Newbie"

I am not totally ignorant to eBay. I have lurked around eBay for years (at the time didn't have the time or the interest), am good friends with a power seller/eBay instructor and have frequented the Answer Center on eBay by the hour. I do have a scale and other tools. I do realize there is more to it than simply listing an auction, MUCH more to it. So I am not approaching it like Helen Keller... ...but am doing a great deal of homework first. However, I have to start somewhere and that's at the beginning.

I do, though, take your comment to heart about not buying from a newbie. So (partially) the reason I have initiated this post. At some point every person who sells on eBay was in my shoes. They just didn't start with a 1000 feedbacks to their credit. Experience is the best teacher (either my own or gleaned from others).

There probably is no real answer to my question other than time itself. As with any business it just takes time to establish one's self.

I appreciate the reply!
