Revamped my shop
Whilst I did not get to list heaps over the weekend, I did manage to put up my old logo banner and also do a description.  Not sure though if the picture is too large.  It loads fine for me but wondering if some might find it overbearing.  Also decided to go with the buy it now exclusively.  Now to do some advertising.  Will have a go at getting link put in facebook and twitter.  Every bit helps.

I love the clear pictures  which load just fine for me, and your details all have such a nice welcome vibe to them being  to the point, without all those 'use must' terms lol

have a nice monday

cheers jinni

Your shop has a nice clean look to it. I love your little shop illustration.

However, I wonder why you felt it necessary to include the following sentence?

I am finding that most customers now would like to purchase instantly, therefore all new listings will be buy it now for your convenience

Is it really necessary to tell potential customers this? (Apart from the awkward grammar of 'I am finding').

Good point about  the grammar.  Shall take it off

I think it looks good, I got my daughter to make a banner for me as well, she whipped it up really quick.

I have put in an order for a fancy bookshelf picture from her as she is into drawing on her computer but she is taking her time with that one.

So watch out for a fancy banner in the next couple of weeks, I will look 'tres chic'.

I have been slowly adding auction prices to my buy nows, I had the opposite thought, that maybe some buyers would like to wait till an auction ended to pay, so who knows.

Hi All

Sewmuch - your page is lovely, and I love the dolls clothing - wish I had little girls - but they think they are grown up and will only play with the ipod. haha

Wish I was clever enough to do that. Maybe I'll have a go once I've got everything listed - so far up to about 54 - only about 200 to go - thankfully the photos are all done.

I've found that for most things buy it now works best. The auction "only" option is best for second hand items or items that will be popular with a huge number of buyers.
Cheers

Loaded easily for me too.  I have to agree with magnolia.  Also to me having that there with one of your items looking the same pink outfit.  One bin x dollars other one auct + bin.  I know what one I would be bidding one if I was to choose between them.  Every penny saved in this economical environment is a bonus to buyers.

I re-opened my shop today and altered a few categories from how I had them before. The system was as slow as a wet week so it took hours to get everything into the right categories, and heaps of listings ended up in very strange places! 

I've got the same name as before for my shop so you obviously CAN re-open with the same name later on.
