This is a regional difference and you first need to identify if it's socially acceptable for students to give out business cards and that it isn't perceived negatively or as if you're trying too hard.

If you do decide to use a business card, a few things that come to mind are: Name, School, Major, Expected Graduation Date, LinkedIn url, e-mail address, and phone number.Danielle Posthuma (1972) investigates the causes of individual differences in brain-related traits. Her research aims at elucidating underlying biological pathways and translating these to modifiable targets that can aid in treating brain disorders. Her expertise is in statistical genetics, and in translating statistical findings into hypotheses that can be tested in cellular models, e.g. using stem-cell biology or pharmaceutical interventions. She integrates knowledge and methods from different fields (biology, genetics, neuroimaging, bioinformatics). Central research themes focus on pathway analyses, genetic risk prediction, comorbidity analyses and developing statistical tools to analyze and understand genomic data for cognitive and psychiatric traits. Her lab consists of a multidisciplinary team including mathematicians, economists, bioinformaticians, psychologists and stem-cell biologists.
Danielle Posthuma was appointed as a URC professor on 1 January 2016.The Pagan blogosphere has been in an uproar over recent changes eBay has made to its policies governing what some folks may call witchcraft. In short, the initial reaction has been to declare that eBay is banning witchcraft. But as it is with all things, if you look a little closer that’s not the case at all, although it is, admittedly, a matter of perspective.
advice; spells; curses; hexing; conjuring; magic services; prayers; blessings; Psychic, Tarot, Reiki, and other metaphysical readings & services; magic potions; healing sessions; work from home businesses & information; wholesale lists, and drop ship lists.
Our call? It’s hard to fault eBay on this one. While their application of this will most likely be heavy-handed (we are talking about eBay), when it comes to things like spells, curses, prayers and healing sessions, you’re not talking about quantifiable goods. The end result is all personal perception. So if, for example, someone purchases a spell from someone on eBay that’s supposed to make another person fall in love with them, are they allowed to demand their money back if the spell doesn’t work? How can they prove the spell didn’t work? It’s not a physical object that was shipped through the postal service with a tracking code. So it’s hard to fault eBay for wanting to absolve themselves of the inevitable headaches that come from such transactions.
More worrisome is eBay’s ban on potions. While it’s debatable whether some potions work or not, the fact remains that physical goods are being sold and shipped. It seems to us that if eBay is going to ban potions, they should also ban many vitamin and health supplements, since their effectiveness is open for debate. Perhaps where tangible goods are concerned eBay’s policy should be, simply, “buyer beware”.
So… take a deep breath, read back over those lists, and think just how easy it is to run a scam on people who are desperate, hopeless, in pain, lazy, gullible or just plain foolish. What eBay is banning are those services most vulnerable to scam artists. The non-metaphysical categories and items on the banned list are also scam-ridden. Buyers just don’t approach buying “services” with the skepticism they should. eBay has had to deal with the aftermath of both outright scams and unrealistic expectations.
There’s no way any of us at PaganCentric would purchase any of what’s in the eBay list from strangers. If you need healing work, go to legitimate energy workers that you can meet face-to-face. If you want a tarot reading, find reputable readers in your area. True magic is not something you should ever “buy” without knowing something about the person you’re buying from. If the witch/caster doesn’t know you, there’s not much chance that whatever you’re buying is going to work.
This is what eBay is trying to protect itself and its buyers from. It isn’t a blanket ban on witchcraft, whatever you may have heard. Are there worrisome parts in their ban list? Of course there is. And one has to wonder if the sale of Christians prayers (much fewer than Pagan spell-work, but there all the same) will face the same kind of scrutiny.
In the end, if you really want a spell or hex or potion, you would be better off if you learn how to do it for yourself. It is the very nature of spell-work that it is intensely personal. That’s what gives it power. If you want a look at the possible futures you have to choose from, learn how to read the tarot or the runes for yourself, and make your own connections. If you want to have a prayer heard, speak it in your own heart in your own words with your own passion, and, again, make your own connections.
We’ll be watching this issue closely. One of our interns posed an interesting question, which to us sums up the difficulty of this issue, and reflects our general view of the subject at the moment – sympathetic but wary.
Holy water could be considered a potion, since it’s been blessed by a priest and is intended to ward off evil spirits of some sort. If eBay is not targeting Pagans, then holy water will be on its ban list, as well. If they don’t ban the sale of holy water, then perhaps Pagans should get more invested in this issue. Something to keep in mind.
Thank you for this post. I am a sell of Pagan items on eBay and I have had to field so many questions about what is happening that I am getting tired of it. I have posted something similar on my blog which is the URL in the website box.
As a seller of physical items I have the other perspective and applaud eBay for trying to weed out the charlatans and snake oil salesmen.
PS. I am adding your blog to my reader.
The problem with this, and I have many with ebay, is that they are making it like we are working for them, not the other way around. Each person is an independent contractor.
It is really none of their business what people sell.
I don’t sell the things they are banning, but it is still none of
