Q&A With Christmas Caroloke Creator

November 7, 2006 by Ty Tribble | 0 Comments

Carol Johnson, of Centennial, laughs loudly when asked by telephone how she ships the products she sells on eBay.

“That’s what I’m doing right now,” she says.”

Fifteen of my items ended (their auctions) last night, and I’m wrapping them up.”

Johnson, as it turns out, is the quintessential eBay seller: She ships mostly via the U.S. Postal Service but uses United Parcel Service and Federal Express on occasion, especially for large items.

EBay has been a boon to shipping companies, expanding business for the likes of the Postal Service, UPS, FedEx and others.

Says eBay spokeswoman Catherine England: “We’re definitely a big contributor” to the U.S. package shipment industry.
