Good thread Hush
O.K. Even tho' I'm a business seller cos I make things and buy to sell on, I'm not here to make a living so it's not important for me to make lots and lots of sales. Having said that, not counting YDC, I've made 3 sales since Saturday - all from ex ebay customers that I 'sent' here. All of my feedback is from here which would be well over 100 if all my buyers had left me some! I've been here 8 months and am here to stay.
I do try and promote my auctions via twitter, did try facebook but didn't like it even though I got my first sale from doing that, and have printed out slips with the links to my stores which I enclose in every parcel I send, and will be taking to the craft fair this weekend to give out there. Even without barcodes and other numbers, my products are out there on Google, although I'm not that convinced the majority of people look to Google for small items like mine.
I have had a few problems when I first came, but support were brilliant, responded almost straight away and sorted out my queries quickly, how refreshing to have contact with a real person!
As for the forums, everyone is helpful and friendly and I count you all as my new friends
