I haven't sold a thing in over a month...........it's $15/month just to have the store....it does cost a little less to list................
no sale, the $15 burns my A$$! With baby and DD, it's hard to keep up with, anyway.......... any thoughts? |
I just looked... You have excellent prices... It is sad that your sales were not that good this month :(
|
Why not wait till after the holidays? It may get better with Christmas coming. We got secret Santa coming up, Offer a minimal discount for the holidays, Put another thread here and post the site location again. We get lots of new people here, Think like a corporate, Plug it......Just a thought.
|
You could concentrate on flea markets and other types of markets........share a table with someone and make some small items to offer...........like pencils with santa heads or inexpensine little mending kits Any thing that goes with the season'''''''red and green fabric and thread, needles and glue glitter........k[i]d fun kits........ :D
|
You could also try Etsy. It's an online store (not auction like Feebay) and they have *great* rates!
There's a minimal fee for listing items, items are listed for 30 (or 90??) days, you have your own *free* store front -- it's a great site. There's even a category for "supplies" which is probably where you'd list most of your items. It's for independent crafters to have an online place to sell. The supplies dept would be a definite plus...lots of things sell on there, but crafters *always* need supplies! You could even discount your prices a bit since it's much less $$ than ebay. Check it out. It's easy. No, I don't work for them, have no affiliation (other than as a buyer! yay!) but I am thinking about becoming a seller.....hmmmm good luck! rf |
I never heard of Etsy before, but the website has some great stuff. Prices seem reasonable, too. Miranda, I don't know what to tell you. Shipping and handling charges have really curtailed my e-bay buying, and I'm probably not alone. What would be a bargain downtown becomes too pricey when it costs so much to get it home. Is there a local craigslist where you are?

Put up a link because all I get is a list of web site :D like best buy ect

How do I get to your ebay store? I want to check it out.

I'd wait till after Christmas if I could. You can try and not be a store but just a regular seller whereby the listing charges are a little less.
|
Miranda, I know how frustrating it can be when not get alot of response. I've been lacking on my ebay store the last couple of months, was on vacation for a month(but kept it running) and now dealing with my broken back. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things real soon. But I have all my holiday shows coming up, so until the end of the year I am booked every weekend. Plus I have orders to fill and my inventory is getting low on certain things. Oh the stress of sewing.

WHERE have you and Heather been? I've missed you both, a lot!!
I'd give it till after Christmas, there are so many many places there on ebay......... Hugs, Sharon |

Thanks for all the responses. I hardly have anything listed in my store right now for sale, anyway......a bunch of my auctions recently ended. I haven't had much internet time to relist...wasn't sure if I wanted to relist or close....it really takes time, something I have very little of these days.

Sorry you are thinking of closing up Miranda, but I did my part! I love the dolphin fabric! It is hidden away for "someday."
I think there must be a better way to sell your stuff. Ebay has a bad rep for people getting ripped off, or getting spam or viruses on their computer. Hopefully just mentioning it here will help you! |
It may pick up the closer it gets to christmas. how long have you had the store and how well have you done in that time.?

I think it will be better later on, when the kids get bigger. I can actually make projects and sell at craft fairs and things. I want to set up at the county fair one of these years and sell items. Right now, I've just been letting it go...they'll only be little once, so I'm trying to just focus on them for now. I've been having a lot of fun being so involved at school, too. :D |

Miranda, I agree with the others on Etsy. My daughter sells purses, totes and other items on her store. She has had very good luck with it. Her store is called Peppermint Sky.
