Ecommerce activity update

Sales have been slower lately due to my laziness. But now that I've started my bachelor's program, I forced myself to create a schedule to get things done. So here's what sold recently:

• One book via my ebay resale account
• Two handmade items via my Etsy shop
• Eight more items via my ebay dropship account! (yes, I'm excited about it)

This first dropship store is in the beauty niche with items from Aliexpress and seems to be doing well. I've learned (and been reminded of) a few things though:

1. Profit is important! Yes I've been selling a good number of items so far, but my profit is only $4-5 per item. I need to sell items with higher profit.
2. Aliexpress doesn't display order processing times. So the only way to find out is to ask the seller. I mistakenly assumed all order processing times were the same, and had to cancel an order because it was going to take seven days to process and my customer didn't want to wait that long.
