Morning all!

I also noticed couple of my listings with different main pictures but nothing major but then I only have about 30 listings.

@feelfeltfound Iā€™m exactly the same when it comes to illnesses. There comes a point when despite doctors saying otherwise, antibiotics are the only thing that will work.
Last year I took 3 sets of antibiotics in a row and my ā€˜viralā€™ illness returned within 2 days after I finishing them, every time. They didnā€™t seem bothered at all until this nurse decided to do a swab of my throat and realised I had Steep A and they were giving me the wrong antibiotics for 5 weeks :flushed: so another lot, stronger ones, were needed. Needless to say, my gut was destroyed for months after. I try to avoid them at all cost but they do work when the illness doesnā€™t want to budge.

New listing today from me, quite keen on making these now :heart_eyes:

What is everyoneā€™s thoughts on shipping costs? Do you think free delivery entices people to buy, even though really the price of the item will actually likely be higher to include it. Or do you find people prefer the lower price and will pay postage on top if they really want something?

Trying to work out whether free delivery would work best for my blankets, or if I just put the postage separate (but itā€™s Ā£5). Or do I maybe put Ā£3 postage and put the other Ā£2 in my item price?

I state postage is included in the price and must admit since doing so called free shipping my sales have gone up by about 150%.

Might be nothing to do with that but the fact I am am working tirelessly every day at promotion. Plus I seem to have an excellent customer base that keep coming back for more. I love my customers.

Itā€™s a small world isnā€™t it Lynnette :grin: Most people from outside the area have never even heard of Swadlincote, so I just say I live in south Derbyshire

I started with postage included and not sold anything across 2 platforms. Then I lowered price by postage cost and added that extra and sold few items. Not sure if it was that or the fact Iā€™ve been advertising it more but I only charge 1.45 for first class large letter and as my items are small, Iā€™m able to send quite a few in the same envelope if anyone orders more than one so itā€™s actually saving a customer money if they order 2 or more. If the postage was included in the price, I assume I would be better off though. With prices going up, Iā€™m not sure what Iā€™m gonna do yet. If Iā€™m putting the postage up or will adjust prices :thinking:
