If you actually have the item, or are 'dropshipping' under your name then the public will view you as the seller .... BUT if you are doing all the work and no where is your name added, the public will view the other guy as the seller, not you. The one whose name is on the shop is viewed as “The Seller”.

Whether you use a drop shipper, have the inventory physically in your possession or are selling on consignment, you are the one responsible for the product.

Everything "Depends" but the bottom line for me is "show me the money". It doesn't matter how I get my inventory or how or what I sale I just want to be paid. So call me a "seller", "hobbyist" or "chief-in-charge" it really does not matter. If I put in the work those are my sales. I'm just sayin! And a bit stronger than intended I might add. lol I agree with John and Kat. Everything “Depends” but the bottom line for me is “show me the money”.

But to further this discussion what about commission based sales. The person who gets a percentage of the sales is listed as the sales person and is not sales person synonymous with seller. For example in the real estate business the real estate agent sells on commission and are called the listing agent not the seller, however back at the real estate agency they are given credit for the total sales they close. If you are a million dollar real estate agent, you did not received that million dollars however you are credited with a million dollars in sales. Thank you for all the comments.

If you are the one that collected the money, then you are the seller. A guy in a clothing store helps me try on a suit and complements me on its fit and guides me to finding the best look for my style....he is a "sales person" (i.e. and agent for the seller) The lady behind the register, she is a cashier. The sales persons may get a % for the work he does as a sales person, the cashier gets a salary no matter how many people pay at her check out stand. In this case, the retail store is the seller and they have sales agents (sales people) who make the sale of the retailers goods. So the retailer is the "seller" here. Where the goods come from?!? I don't think that matters...who gets the money is the only part that counts IMHO. John (ColderICE) The “seller” is the one that made the MONEY…pretty simple.

]]> Comment on When interacting in social space, how much personal information should you share? by Steve http://www.mommysbazaar.com/?p=51&cpage=1#comment-108 Steve Fri, 28 May 2010 19:11:37 +0000 http://www.mommysbazaar.com/?p=51#comment-108 You know, I'm going to jump on something you said early in this post that actually doesn't relate to the main point: "However, that leads to blog posts being very few and far between, not a good way to attract an audience to what I have to say." ...and say that on the other hand, your presence on the social networking sites leads to your attracting much more of an audience than you would have found otherwise. Shoot, I blogged sporadically for 3 years <i>pre-social</i> and I could count my comments on one hand! But on to your main point. It's funny, I like to think I keep it private though at the same time like to think I shoot off my mouth enough that my opinions are anything but. I'll put it this way, most of you guys get my heart and mind, but not so much my body. ...Jeeze, that sounded dirty, not what I intended, lol!
