Q: A citation should never have more than 7 names. If you're citing a work with 7 or more authors or editors, you'll have to leave out some of the names in an APA citation. Keep the names of the authors in the order they are listed on the title page of the book. Follow the sixth author's name with a comma, and then use an ellipsis to indicate there are additional authors. Make sure you include a comma after the sixth author's name. You don't need a comma after the ellipsis. Check your word processing app for an ellipsis style function – it looks like it's just a string of 3 periods, but they are spaced further apart than regular periods. Use title capitalization, meaning that only the first word of the title should be uppercase. Put the subtitle, if applicable, after a colon.For instance: "Sunshine, S. P., Brown, J. B., Honey, T., Smith, R., Grandin, T., Petty, L., . . . Sullivan, T.D. (2015). Creating APA citations for multiple authors." Finish by noting the place of publication along with the publisher. Put a colon between the two and a period at the end. For instance: "Sunshine, S. P., Brown, J. B., Honey, T., Smith, R., Grandin, T., Petty, L., . . . Sullivan, T.D. (2015). Creating APA citations for multiple authors. London: Johnson Publishing Group."
A: List the last names and initials of the first 6 authors. Place an ellipsis after the sixth author's name. Note the full title of the work. Include the publishing information last.

Q: Unplug the vacuum, if applicable. Switch the vacuum to OFF. Never attempt to open your vacuum cleaner when it is switched on or plugged in. Open the vacuum carefully. Push the filter housing’s release button, if your model has one. Separate the filter from its plastic housing, if applicable. Fill a bowl with cold water. Do not add any detergent to the bowl. Submerge the filter and allow it to soak for no less than five minutes.  Some cordless models – such as DC35 and DC44 – require a pre-soak.  Some upright vacuums, such as DC17, require a pre-soak. Others, such as DC24 Multi Floor, do not. Squeeze the filter gently as you rinse it. Continue rinsing and squeezing for at least five minutes, until the water from the filter runs clear. Some filters may require up to ten rinses until the water runs clear.
A: Disconnect from any power source. Remove the filter. Soak the filter, if applicable. Rinse the filter under cold water.

Q: Describe your item as if there were no pictures, and photograph your item as if there was no description. Read a book on selling before you get started.  eBay is not a get-rich quick scheme. At best, eBay is a get-rich-slow scheme. Unfortunately, many new sellers get scammed and find it's a get-poor-quick scheme. Do not open an eBay account to sell your iPhone or designer handbag. Professional scammers are looking for new sellers offering popular items, and they will take both your item and your money. It's best to sell items like this though craigslist, letgo or another app that facilitates face-to-face cash transactions.
A: Do not sell anything on eBay that you cannot afford to lose.

Q: Look for a compound that you mix at home, rather than one that is pre-mixed. If you can’t find a powdered compound, just go with a pre-mixed one. Talk to the store clerk about using a brand that is smooth and hardens fast.  There are a couple of key advantages to using a mix-at-home compound. Firstly, it hardens much faster than pre-mixed compound, and secondly, it doesn’t shrink once it dries, unlike pre-mixed. The amount that you will need obviously varies depending on the size of your job, so talk to the store assistant about how much they recommend you buy for the space you are working with. In this situation, it’s better to have too much than too little. This tool is the most important of all the tools you will use for this project. Getting a larger knife (there are also 6 in (15 cm) knives available) allows you to apply more compound at once. Make sure you find an actual drywall knife, rather than a multi-purpose tool You use a drywall knife to apply the compound to the drywall. You also use it to smooth out and remove excess compound after the initial application you put down. Look for mesh tape that is specifically for use on drywall. You can find this tape at most home goods stores and it is fairly cheap to buy. Talk to the store clerk about what specific brand might be better for your particular needs.  Mesh tape is much easier to use than paper tape. Paper tape has some advantages, such as being a little bit stronger, but for a novice plasterer, mesh tape is a much more straightforward option to deal with. Mesh tape goes down over any joins between pieces of drywall. It provides the base over which you start applying the ‘floating’ compound. Look for a sanding sponge of about 180 grit. If you can’t find a sanding sponge, just get sandpaper. Sanding sponges are great for more heavy duty jobs because of how easy they are to hold and use.  You use a sanding sponge to smooth out the compound mix once it has eventually hardened. Buy the best quality sanding sponge you can afford, as sometimes the cheaper ones can deteriorate fairly quickly after some heavy use.
A:
Find a high-quality lightweight joining compound. Get hold of a 10 in (25 cm) drywall knife. Buy some mesh tape to lay down first. Purchase a high-quality sanding sponge.
