I have had no sales despite reducing all my jewellery to below cost, what am i doing wrong

[Gill]

Welcome to eBid Anna.
Don't give up! I started listing on Sept 1st and waited 4 weeks before I got my first sale plus 4. It then took another 5 weeks before I got anymore (excluding YDC's).

The sales will come - just be patient and remember to put your signature on your posts - click forums/user cp/ on the left find edit signature and put it in there.

GOOD LUCK

Anna, you are selling in a very competetive market at a time when people are having to watch their money so things aren't going to be easy. Also, having the majority of your listings running as 3-days from first bid is not going to get you the visibility you need.

Perhaps you should review some of your photos as I don't think that they display the lovely jewellery to best advantage.

Otherwise, your listings look good and I like the introduction on your 'about' page.

I'm sure that things will pick up - good luck with your listings.

Hi Anna and welcome to eBid. If it was me I would change them to 8 or 10 day listings and then also add a bin price. that way they will get uploaded to google as well. I would also stagger the start dates and times with a auto repeat, so that they are always moving to the top of the search pages. setting auctions with a duration after first bid will keep them at the bottom of search pages until someone puts a bid on. also without a bin price they will not get uploaded to google.

Lovely things, Anna. As to your Spanish lessons, you just need to learn enough to tell everybody about ebid.net and that they can get great bargains here

Hi Anna,

Welcome to ebid, sales do take a while here compared to feebay, but they will come in the end, I waited about 6 weeks for my first sale.

By the way the link to your store does not work, you need to try again.

Hi Anna,

Your photos I would suggest that you use a white sheet or black as a back ground without flash. Use daylight take them out side if you have to the jewlery will reflect the flash back at the lense. The stone you are using is doing this. If you took that picture with the stone on a dark background in natural light without flash it will come out better.

If you have to take shots inside you can buy dalight bulbs and put them in table lamps this will work as well.

When your taking shots of gold use a black sheet it will make the gold stand out better.

Dont crop the picture just reduce to 4mb to upload and get as close as possible.

Selling Jewlery, the picture tells it all.
