selling knitting patterns

Me neither, although sales in my b&m shop have really picked up!
I find that most of the increased sales is in baby patterns, and you seem to have some very nice ones, so don't know what the problem is.

Your knitting pattern listings are fine as far as I can see - there are some nice ones on sale - sadly I already have one of the world's largest collections of knitting patterns...........

I agree with everyone so far. Nice patterns at reasonable prices. Based on how I shop, which I admit is kind of goofy, I very rarely will buy only one item from a seller. Seems like a waste of time for just one thing, but if I see two or three things I like, then I will buy all three. Especially with shipping discount.

With your items I think if you make buying multiple worthwhile I think you can increase your sales. You do list a discount, but don't say what it is. Seen from a buyer's point of view, at 2 a.m., if I see 5 patterns I like, I will not email your for details or buy. I don't know what it will cost me.

So add a specific discount "on 2nd, 3rd, etc items I only charge 50p shipping". That way I know what the invoice will be before I get it. If the shipping is cheap enough, people will add more of these inexpensive items. Ideally you can get people buying 6 or 8 at a time because they are really only spending $10 for 8 patterns.

It's very gentle, but patterns make up most of my sales here. It is quirky though. Ebid just needs more traffic and then you will sell them.

The first two items I bought on here were knitting patterns.
