Welcome to Pearsal podcast. I'm Mike. And this is Orlando and we're on episode

today what we would do differently if we were starting off, if we were a brand new store, if we were

talking to somebody who's about ready to start on eBay, how they would do their store different

than we did it. And then taking that information and figuring out, how does that apply to us as

resellers now?

How can we make sure that we are adapting our stores,
