Welcome to the thread Robyn @RobynCoetzee
A brief visit from me as Iām watching the cricket world cup final (Come on England!!) Iāll have a dilemma shortly though when the British Grand Prix starts! Why do these things have to all happen at the same time?! Itās a good Iām not much of a tennis fan or itād be even worse.
Another new one from me. Just to warn you, Iāll very much have a beach theme going on for a while.

I remember finding the forums so overwhelming Robyn @RobynCoetzee, when I first joined, that I didnāt use them again for ages (they were a lot busier then!) but now, I just set the categories to āallā and ālatestā - so you see all the news from all categories with all the newest posts first. It saves having to look through each category.

Completely missed the weekend again so just catching up now. I was busy doing a last minute card design, helping clear away Artweek and then finally had a night out (I was trying to be sensible during my busy months). Unfortunately I didnāt sell the main pieces Iād entered to the exhibition, but I think I sold a few smaller bits on the market, just need to count up how much.
@thedotterypotter That overpricing thing is one reason I donāt want to switch to free shipping, I donāt want people to pay more than they have to, and if I have US shipping included in my prices then it means UK customers will be massively overcharged. I really hate that theyāre trying to force free shipping on us, but itās not compulsory, just a big disadvantage if you donāt offer it, so for now Iām going to leave mine as they are and see how it affects my sales. I donāt get loads there but at the moment itās still more than here. Iād rather sell here, so if I can get more sales here and my sales die there I wonāt mind too much and I can close there, but if here is still just the odd card sale and I get no sales there I might have to consider switching to free shipping. If I did it I would increase my item costs there to cover US postage and keeps my costs here the same. Then I would try to think of it (and promote it) as UK/European customers use here (where itās cheaper for them), and international use there. Hopefully the price difference would encourage people to shop with me here instead.
@Caroleecrafts The listing from the other day is beautiful! I love black lace.
@valerie I definitely go through periods of getting disheartened, wondering if my style just isnāt what people want and if I should just give up and get a normal jobā¦ I havenāt given in to it yet though. Luckily a sale will eventually come to push the negative thoughts away. Donāt give up, your fabric selections are great and your items all look really well made. Iām sure itās just a quiet time and the sales will pick up again soon (summer is usually a quiet time for me).
@ClaireMortArtist If Iām really picky with clothes and will generally pay attention to colour first. If I saw a listing of a white t-shirt I probably wouldnāt click on it because I never wear whiteā¦ unless it was really obvious other colours were available from what little we see in search. So Iād either go for separate listings, or variations but make sure the main photo shows the colour selection somehow.
Finally got to the end of catching up and Iāve just got a relist for today, but Iāll try get some new listings done this week.
