right...Welcome! Now - if you possibly can, buy seller+ lifetime - then you can list for a sensible time at no further cost. I do 14 days with 10 autoreposts. Most people do 7-10 days with the 10 autoreposts.

If you have seller+ you can split your items into craft supplies and completed items. I would put the lovely baby things under baby stuff not under crafts (in spite of the way eBid does the categories). You need to add "exempt" to the barcode space of the knitted items so they get uploaded to google shopping.

There are other ideas but I'll come back if no-one else adds them!

Astral's knowledge base will be useful

Hi Madelaine

Thanks for the tips/advice I,ll give them a try xxx Kat xxx

Right.. now you are seller+, I would suggest opening another shop and moving the craft items into it, thus keeping the craft away from the handcrafted - two completely different markets - for example, I will not be buying your knitting (I knit myself) nor will Maelbrigda(she knits too!) but we both have to buy yarn!!!
