Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
My business is to help others be successful sellers on eBay. My name is Lynn Dralle and I have made my living buying and selling unique one-of-a-kind items on eBay for ten years. I sold $167,000 on eBay in 2008 and I want to help others do the same! I love selling on eBay and can't stop - Some people think I am addicted!

I grew up in the antiques business. My grandmother had an antique store in Bellingham, WA for 52 years. She was an amazing role model and I was lucky to inherit her passion for helping others. I am a single mom with two children, 10 and 12. It can be a challenge to juggle selling on eBay, writing books on eBay, and teaching others how to sell, while being actively involved in their lives. Somehow, it all works out!

I write a free e-zine that comes out bi-monthly and it is full of tips and tricks and great information. You can sign up for it at www.thequeenofauctions.com.

I am an eBay Certified Provider (there are only 35 of us)--what this means is that eBay has put their stamp of approval on me and my products!

The reason I signed up for this contest is because one of my favorite students sent me this email.

"Hi Lynn.
I'm sure you've received this email. I'm just forwarding it to encourage you to sign up for the Top Mom-Run Businesses competition. I think you do a marvelous job of both running your business and being a mom -- not to mention being a friend, daughter, sister and all around terrific person. No one can sign you up, you have to do it yourself, so please do! And then let everyone know that you are participating. I can think of "one or two" folks who might vote for you! DivaDawnLV"

Thanks for considering me and my business! Lynn
