Newbie - 2 Stores & Counting ; )

[Helene68]

Hi everybody,

First of all I wanted to say a big thanks to everybody on here for making this such a fab place to buy & sell!

Everyones so friendly & having been a member of "the place that should not be named" for 10 years Im sooooo glad Ive finally found Ebid - YAY! & What took me so long???

Anyway, Im an obvious newbie to Ebid, so Ive been dipping my toe in the water for the past few days & slowley listing a few bits & pieces to see how it goes. I'd be more than grateful for any help, suggestions, feedback etc etc along the way!

Ive opened 2 stores so far - Ones to sell my handmade items & eventually some art pieces. The other is to pass on some vintage finds Ive collected over the years, intending to use them in art but which have been gathering dust & deserve new homes.

I also want to open another couple of stores to thin out my stashes of hoarded fabrics, paper & paper-craft items - So I'll be doing that in the next week or so too (if I can bare to part with any of it, that is!).

Please feel free to have a look anyway

Thanks so much - Helene

Welcome to eBid! Great to have you. I took a look at your listings and found one that needs tweaking I think. Presently, this listing says:

Gorgeous Handmade Flower Corsage - Wedding/Specail Occ
Might be better to state:
Gorgeous Handmade Flower Corsage - Wedding Special Occasion

Also, your listings don't contain any information about shipping, payment methods accepted, return policy, things like that. You might devise a standard "blurb" and incorporate it in all your listings.

I wish you all the very best and hope you have great sales!

Hi, thanks very much for the advice. I will go back & remedy the listings now.... I never even thought about the "after sales" bit...DOH! hahaha

Hi Helene,
I'm new too and I'm really hoping this works well for both of us! I've just placed a bid on one of your items which, hopefully, will be of encouragement.
Very best wishes,
Eleanor
