I make handmade ribbon pins. I sell them on ebay, and had them on etsy b/c I thought they’d do better there. But I just don’t like that site. I know it’s cheaper to list and all but people are constantly complaining on the forums about the site and that they get no sales. I don’t like the community atmosphere either – don’t have time for it, and that’s how ppl there get the most sales it seems. (Sorry hate to rant about etsy but I know ppl will suggest I sell there. :-))
They’ve actually received a lot of attention (looks and a few watchers), but no sales. I promote them in my other listings b/c I have a pretty good record on ebay, and my store in general does pretty well. Do you think this is a fair price that I have on them? I have others that I sold as singles (like the breast cancer ones) on etsy – they are handpainted and have more detailing to them so I listed them at $2.80. Do you think that is too high? I realize I have a limited audience b/c most people will just buy a chintzy one or get one from a charity event. I tried to do some causes that receive less publicity, and do a quality product with a personal touch. That is my niche. My dad has cancer so I started this to have something nicer for this cause than the few items I’ve seen around the web. Please tell me what you think. I know I won’t make a lot, but I’d be thrilled for just one sale! http://myworld.ebay.com/kei.cooper2012
