As we leap into a brave new year, it's only fitting that we take a look at how eBay helps us mark the days. Here is the scoop on eBay calendars from 2001 through 2009. If I've missed any, please let me know!

eBay 2001 Trivia Calendar: with "Stories, Tips, and Secrets about the Internet Site that Revolutionized the Collecting World"; my favorite quote is the one wherein a collector compares herself to "a child. A very greedy child."


eBay Silver Picture Frame Calendar (200?-2008): a very nice silver-plated collectible bearing an engraved eBay logo with a space on the left for your photo of choice and a month-by-month calendar on the right; mine is from 2002, 2003 or 2004, and I won it in 2006 from Seller tfenrich (a source of much fabulous eBayana) for only $2.50, but one recently was offered on eBay by northwestbiz that supposedly came from eBay Live! 2008 in Chicago.


eBay Taiwan 2005 Calendar featuring children's drawings; won from yueh90 @ eBay Taiwan (ebay.com.tw) for 99¢ in 2005 and also in 2005 from polianglin (who I think was a Taiwanese Seller but who had a French email address); eBay Taiwan no longer exists as such --which is why I couldn't link to it -- so this is a real collector's item


eBay Voices 2005 Calendar: in metal with a thank-you card from the Voices Of The Community program. I want to be a Voice Of The Community! Recently offered for sale on eBay by candances


eBay China Stand-Up 2006 Calendar in bright, vivid colors with festive images; won from Seller half1hour @ eBay China (ebay.com.cn or ebay.cn) in 2006 for 87¢ + $10.62 shipping; it was our first transaction in RMBs, and it's a good thing there was a nice clear picture because the title read like this: ebay??????2006???  ???????  ????  1??????????; also won from Seller cnscc @ eBay China in 2007 (cnscc was the source of most of our coolest eBay China and PayPal China memorabilia); eBay China no longer exists as such -- which is why I couldn't link to it -- so this is a real collector's item


eBay it 2007 Limited Edition Desk Calendar: Small, but mighty cute! I won it in 2007 from close_shave, a now-former eBay employee who was the source of some our most fabulous and rare eBayana and who continues to be a good friend


PayPal Asia Pacific 2009 Calendar won from Seller syzzlyn @ eBay Singapore (ebay.com.sg) , who got it at a party held at a club in Singapore (headquarters of PayPal Asia Pacific) in honor of PayPal's 10th anniversary


PowerSellingMom's 2009 Calendar by Danna Crawford (User ID danna): Let this eBay 2008 Hall Of Fame Winner's proven tips and techniques for goal setting, prioritizing and productivity help you shine in 2009! You can buy PowerSellingMom's 2009 Calendar in danna's eBay store, ASK-DANNA; it comes with a black pen plus a 33-minute DVD, "The Organized Road To PowerSelling", along with a newsletter subscription, 1 year of text-link advertising @ PowerSellingMom.com, and a $50 off coupon for Danna's private coaching package.

eBay Hong Kong Combination Calendar, Calculator & Alarm Clock: this nifty little gadget in gray plastic with the ebay.com.hk logo in black fits in the palm of your hand, so it doesn't take up much room on your desktop, but it sure does work hard doing triple duty; won in 2007 from Seller erhanerdam , who was the source of some of our most fabulous international eBayana


eBay Live! Picture Frame Perpetual Calendar in metal, with magnetic tags to mark the date; it doesn't show the days of the week, only the days of the month, so it can be used for any year; won in 2007 from Seller usakat , who was the source of a lot of my most fabulous and rare eBayana


This sums up 10 years' worth of eBay calendars amassed so far over a lifetime of collecting eBayana. Well, really I've only been collecting eBayana for about 8 years, but I've got enough to last me a lifetime!
