I guess I'd better get my rear in gear and list some things. There
are no eBay fees, April 1 - 14.

I'm pretty nervous about it, but I guess now is the time to give it a
try,

Tina,

are you saying no listing fees/selling fees?

I don't even have a buyer's account there, but that may be worth the
effort to list ...
Not that I have even kept up with advertising on Craigslist.

And I still have to do taxes, haven't lit the torch in over a month,
only
made "bread and butter" jewelry, and very little of even that.

Wonder what's behind that? (Of course the economy, but are people
going for less expensive pastures? - I'm still considering ecrater.)

Aloha,
Maren

You know, I looked further into this "free listing" thing. Your
"insertion" fee is free, but you still have to pay to have your
listing have a photo that shows when you do a search. The one after
you click on the auction is free, but no one takes a closer look if
you can't see a small picture first. And then there's 8 to 12% you
pay on the final price. It's about twice as high as I expected. It's
a lot less than the 50% a store will charge (retail vs wholesale).
But then the store does a lot more for you.

I'm learning.

Thanks for the clarification Tina I was feeling guilty about not having time
to list, not such a great deal after all. I'm working a new job, new shift
and 9 days in a row, no time to list, think, hardly sleep. But it's a job...
I SHOULD be grateful! LOL But no time for beading!!!!!

I'm glad you are up to working. It's been a awfully tough time for
you. Heck, even the good stuff has been such a change for you that it
kicks your a$$. Hope your job is at least rewarding.
