BeU Thrifters: Reselling Thrifted Items to Support the Disabled Community: What to do?

Emergencies happen. Unexpected situations occur. On Friday, we discovered we'd be flying to San Antonio, Texas on Monday. We were required to make the trip for our other job (as Daniella's caretaker). So, what to do with our ebay business? What would you do? We've learned that having someone cover the ebay business is difficult and we didn't have enough time to teach someone. We don't have a store to put on vacation, so we had to get creative. Basically, we contact any buyer and offer them free shipping in return for their patience. Yes, we will lose some money but at least we are still selling items. How would you have handled the situation?

Every month we set the goal of selling at least 30 items. It's not much, but we are a new business and 30 items can be difficult to sell in a month. We are VERY excited to have sold 31 items this month even though: it's summer (normally slow) and ebay cut off our listing on the 23rd of July (we HATE the selling limits). So, we feel really good about our month. How has your month been?

Here are some items we sold in the last week:

We cleaned out our closet and decided to sell random stuff we had collected. These shirts were in the closet. They weren't a big money maker but they weren't making any money in the closet.
