Welcome, I'm Melissa. Former Kindergarten teacher (12 years), now single mom to 3 amazing kids (26, 10 & 6) online seller since 1998, full time since 2014. Growing up my Granny taught me everything there is to know about shopping at garage sales (and also a little bit about having too much stuff!) Journey with me while I figure out how to balance a family and selling online as I sell off my Granny's Hoard, and sometimes add to my own!

Tip Tuesday # 4 Helpful Tools
This is an absolute must have tool for me. I do most of my ebay work out in a metal garage type building. I take my photos there and pack up packages as well as store my items. I do most of my listing from 10pm-2am. More often then not I would take my photos out in my shop and then discover at 2 am that I had left my camera out in the shop. So I would have to go back out in the dark to get my camera so I could download my photos from either my card or my camera. Then I would have to remember to put the card back into my camera. I have taken my camera many times to events with kids and family only to discover that I had no card!
Then I heard about this eye fi card. Just put it in your camera like a normal card, take your photos and they are automatically uploaded to your computer! No switching cards involved.
My hubby got mine as a Christmas present for me at Target, but I have also seen them at Walgreens and on Amazon. I have the 4 GB one and I haven't maxed it out yet, and I have about 2000 photos on it.

Wow. That is amazing. I've never heard of that before. I want one now.
ReplyDeleteHow have I never heard of this?! I can't even count the number of times I have taken my camera places only to discover that the memory card isn't in it. I see buying one of these in my future. :-) Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI just decided AGAINST getting one of these. You're making me think that I should backtrack. I hadn't found a really good review yet. I'm worried about the distances to my router (it's the floor up).
ReplyDeleteMy router in the house is downstairs and I do all of my ebay stuff upstairs in the living room that used to be our garage, so not that close. And I have actually had it upload pictures to my house internet from my metal shop building across the driveway. I have had no problems with it up loading from whereever I have taken the pictures. I do have a internet dish on my roof becuase where I live its the only option. Hope that helps!
