Yeah I know some of you are probably going “What? She is asking for advice again?” It’s your own fault you know. If you guys were not so smart I wouldn’t be asking for advice on so many different things. ;-) So here goes what I need to know about is on line businesses and PayPal. Follow me past the squiggle wiggle and I’ll let you know what is going on.
I am retired and trying to live on $1,000.00 a month Social Security. I am battling C.O.P.D. so trying to work full or even part time outside the home isn’t an option any more. I am not eligible for Medicare until next year so have no health insurance. I am an artist however and I also make jewelry. I have my Sales Tax license for North Carolina so that I can sell.
Over the weekend I set up two websites one to try and sell jewelry and one to try and sell art.

I haven’t really put them live yet because I need to work out payment details. I am using my gmail account for the business because a few years ago someone faked an account with PayPal and Ebay using my AOL account. Neither PayPal nor Ebay would do anything about it. I need to ask people who have a business that uses PayPal what are your experiences? How does it work? Is it worth my setting up a PayPal account for the business?
Second if people would please take a few minutes and look at the two sites I need some feedback. Do the sites work? What would you change? What would you keep?
The home business is very important to me. I may have to go back to being a caregiver so it is essential that I be able to work from home. For those of you who are doing home businesses I would really appreciate your feedback.
Thank you for your time and help.
