    Hi & Welcome to the Forum.
    Is your Store in the best category? Would it be better placed in Occasions & Seasonal? I don't know.... just a thought. I would have thought that Crafts would be for the making of... not the finished product? Maybe?
    Also, RUS (Run Until Sold) - stay at the bottom of the viewings lists ~ better to list for 7 to 10 days with 10 auto reposts to get maximum visibility. (Items keep rotating towards the top of the viewings lists).

    Have you put Exempt in the bar code box as your items are hand made - exempt gets them to Google shopping.
    Do you use Pinterest or other social media for self promotion?
    Just some ideas.... no doubt others will have more. I wish you well.

    Hello pc4 and welcome to eBid.

    Nice cards but I hope this will help.

    Taking pics of white cards on a white background doesn't do the card justice - so I would suggest a coloured background.

    I am looking at the 'Ellie' card but I don't think the print or wording is central which I think is what you want - this can put off potential buyers.

    The description you give says nothing about the picture on the front.

    Do you offer the wording in different fonts?
    Describe the picture.
    The picture shown is not of a scalloped edged card - the picture shows a 5x7 plain card.

    Good luck selling on eBid.

    Agree about the catagory.
    There is a Christmas craft section the OP could use in the occassional & seasonal catagory

    I agree with what cheaver says.

    You have some lovely cards but I think it is a very competitive area you are in.

    Start promoting your self and get your cards known.
