“I appreciate the LinkedIn platform, and respect the ways of using it properly. I try to only post important items; Like and comment on posts I find interesting, or are supportive of a colleague or business; and realize the potential to make important connections.” Bravo!

The Nanny Nine: Shakopee Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau

The Nanny Nine: PowerSellingMom.com

Danna and I had known each other online long before we got the chance to meet in person 1 1/2 years ago. I have always admired her knowledge of everything eBay, and also her personality and willingness to help people in so many ways. Danna has been selling on eBay since 1997, and in 2007 she formed PowerSellingMom.com She is a recipient of the eBay Hall of Fame Award, and is a strong participant in the eBay Community. She is also an eBay Education Specialist, as well as a Trading Assistant. Those are just a few of the hats Danna wears – as I mentioned. she has vast knowledge of all things eBay 🙂

Danna is as vibrant in person as she is online. I found our discussions to be very engaging, and thought provoking…and full of smiles and laughter. She is a very caring person, which is evident in her personal life as well as with her customers.
