I have been lax in posting new beads for sale, the economy has really gotten me down. I do realize though I need to pull up my boot straps and keep on trucking!….We did give up eBay, feebay or whatever it is now days…I loved eBay for years and it gave us a name in [...]

I am back from my trip, I was clear over on the “other” ocean, other coast…I had a wonderful time visiting my friend Susan…her family is so wonderful, she lives in the most beautiful place. I was treated to Lobster and Lasagna that her her husband cooked. Went up to Maine for the day, to [...]
thoughts on selling venue’s…what will work for us in todays economy
Posted in Business, Daily Chatter, Etsy, beads, eBay, jewelry, life on September 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I have been thinking a lot…watching the news…the economy being so bad I really do feel fortunate each time I sell some of our beads. eBay is a no go at this time, fee’s are to big for us…since we normally would have to repost the item three to four times to sell (years ago [...]

I thought I would elaborate a bit on my subject of yesterday. My feelings toward eBay and its decline for us really do have a lot to do with two things…the economy and eBay’s changes in their policies over the last year or so.

Flaming Hot! blog subject….What does your website do for you?
Well, I was pushed into setting up a website by beadmaking friends. I resisted for so very long, thinking eBay was enough. Honestly, it probably was. It is nice thou to have a website you can tell people about. It never fails when your on vacation [...]
