Hi Jesser

I've had a quick look through your store.....and there are a few areas that could be improved. Please take my comments in the spirit to which they are intended....to help, not criticise

Keywords: are really important in auction titles...try and pack as much relevant information as you can into the available space.

Run til sold: Comes close to the bottom of the search results. Try 8 days, with a x10 re-post, and stagger the ending times of your auctions.

Shipping not available to the UK: Why? I can understand DVD's etc. but not some of your other products?

Also........add a link to your store in your forum signature, it's easier for folk to have a look at your wares

Hope this has given you some ideas to jump start your sales

All auctioneers, real world or virtual, should not need to increase their fees. They are all % so when their sellers get higher revenues so will the auctions.

Any increase in fees which does not include improvements in service is theft!

I just had an item finish after 10 days on ebay.4010 viewers after a 10 day auction.If I add all the finished 30 day stuff on ebid for the past month together it might just scrape into the hundreds.
I'm not criticising for the sake of it and I'd love to see ebid suceed but the reality is that it still hasn't grabbed Joe publics attantion.
Maybe we should decide on a date where we all bombard every forum,web site and discussion board with comments about ebid.Make it that anyone who uses a computer will have a hard job to go through the day without hearing about it.Odd mentions here and there,a few placards and tea shirts are forgotten very quickly but if we all pulled our fingers out I'm sure that we could organise a blitz.
What do you think?

Hello Maxx. She is good with words that Jan. One of the best nicknames I've seen also.

Making a loss isn't a bad thing for any business as usually that means that the profits have been spent on expansion.

My business has traded at a loss from the beginning but that's because I spend my profits on improving the way I work.

Go back to the beginning of the thread. They didn't make a loss, they made less profit than the year before.
