Letter From the Editor

First, there was the "stay-at-home mom," then, the "working mom." Now, meet a new type of parent -- the "eBay mom"! In honor of Mother's Day, May 9, we feature Susan, an eBay mom who tells us how eBay has enabled her to attend to her six children, and purchase items for the entire family -- without ever leaving their rural Michigan home.

Are you a seller with an item that would be perfect for gift-giving this Mother's Day? Are you a buyer looking for the perfect Mother's Day gift? Our article on Gift Icons tells you how these little pictures can help you buy or sell during many holidays.

And speaking of holidays, take a look at our "It's Happening In...May" feature. Better Sleep Month and National Barbecue Month both occur in May (but don't combine these celebrations or you just might doze through a great meal!).

We hope you enjoy the May issue of eBay Life.
