Knitting Pattern Sellers - NOT the finished article

[crafters_corner]

I just had a look at yours and it doesn't look to bad, can I add the same as you have only if i put what I wanted too I think I may get banned.
Right off for my dinner.

Yes, of course you can.

You mean something like: "Okay, you dozy pillocks, this auction is not for the blerdy finished jumper .......It is for the pattern that tells YOU how to make it".

You know--Some of these buyers are so dense, I wonder how they figured out how to turn a computer on!

You aint kiddin', Poppa. The buyer said they had received a flat envelope with a bit of paper in it, which was obviously too small for the item they had purchased.

Incredible.

I've had 2 buyers who thought the wool was included!!
I have started stating how much wool is needed because several potential buyers have asked how much wool is required so maybe some buyers think the wool is included.

They obviously see what they want to see. I know it would be no problem to have neg. feedback removed on here and the river are also very good about removing unfair feedback. Fleebay, on the other hand, is a different kettle of smelly fish so I am not holding out much hope there.

So yours would need to state "Okay, you dozy pillocks, this auction is not for the blerdy finished jumper .......It is for the pattern that tells YOU how to make it. And, no, it does NOT include the wool either".

So if I bulk edit the descriptions my template won't be affected and I'll get the blurb tacked on to the bottom as an edit?

Marie - Afraid I can't help there as I don't use a template. I just use the sell similar option when listing.

I have had two on here. I lost it a bit with one and asked him why he expected a brand new Jumper for 75p and a £1.00 shipping, what do they think it is, a jumble sale. I am not going to do an added by seller as others have said they it looks stupid, and I can't use that stupid spreadsheet. How are you going to do yours?

Thanks for the heads up

You could create a seller notice for all your patterns stating that it is a PATTERN and not a finished product. It will be the first thing they will see on your listings.

Something like:

THIS ITEM IS FOR A PATTERN ONLY. I will happily combine postage and pass on the savings to you, the buyer. Please await combined invoice before payment.

Good thinking, I will have a thunk and pick what to do, but I know one thing I am not editing them all one at a time again.

No need to do that, Buttons.

That annoying "Added by seller...." appears on all the ones I have bulk edited.

Why?????????
