    Hi - I think you have very nice items at an extremely fair price! HAve you read lots of the forum posts giving hints about listing and selling and promoting your items? It also helps to use the PLUG YOUR AUCTIONS thread, which you can do 1 x per 24 hours, letting people know about your items. Lots of helpful tips here on the forum, so check some of them out! Good luck!
    Ta-Ta for now!

    Go to the top of this page, then click the word FORUMS. Then look down the list to find the thread PLUG YOUR AUCTIONS. Then you can start a new thread (like you did here). Do some sort of 'advertisement' and invite people to look at your items, or however you want.
    For ideas, you can look at how other people plug their auctions.

    Check out the FAQ's via the help button, check out the various other threads on various topics, in addition to the ones in the KITCHEN TABLE....I bet you will get some good ideas. I'm sure others will also suggest things.......
    Ta-Ta for now!

    Posted this to another thread, but it may be helpful here as well. Some suggestions, if you haven't already tried them:

    1) Add a signature link to your posts, so members can click to view your listings.
    2) List as many items as you can; it's free to list and relist and the more items you list, the more potential sales.
    3) Use 7-10 day auctions with auto repost to ensure your items move up searches.
    4) Let former customers from other sites know you're selling here.
    5) Use social networking (Twitter, Facebook, peronal blog) to promote your listings.
    6) Use Plug Your Auctions on the forum (1x per 24 hours - delete old post before starting new one) to promote your listings.
    7) Offer international shipping whenever possible to widen your potential customer base.
    8) Tell everyone you know and meet about eBid.
    9) Buy a few inexpensive items to increase your feedback and support the site.
    10) Get involved in eBid activities, as the monthly YDC charity auctions, if you're so inclined; it's a great way to raise monies for good causes and it helps raise your profile in the eBid community.
    11) Check out the Help videos and read Astral's FAQs page, lots of good info. in both places.

    Oh and have fun.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,

    Jewellery will always sell for higher price if it is presented well. If you put your jewellery in a box you are sending out a message that your work is valuable and to be valued. Increase your profit margins by investing in small gift boxes.

    Went to take a look at your items, but couldn't see them. Guess that means you don't ship to the U.S. Have you considered offering international shipping?
