Experienced
Oztion
sellers
-
please
help!?!
|
|
I'm
quite
new
to
Oztion.
I
am
on
my
second
try
at
selling
with
Oztion
and
I
get
plenty
of
clicks
but
not
many
sales.
I
get
the
impression
that
people
are
looking
for
$1
bargains.
How
do
I
get
it
across
to
people
that
my
product
is
unique,
hand
made
and
selling
much,
much
cheaper
than
through
a
retial
shop?
I
can't
afford
a
lot
of
money
for
extra
costings
on
my
listings
-
any
suggestions?

You
could
try
putting
a
little
blurb
in
your
listings
(I
didn't
look
so
I
hope
you
haven't
done
it
already,
lol)
Maybe
something
like
a
sales
pitch
"My
products
are
completly
handmade
and
each
one
is
unique
in
itself.
blah
blah
blah"
Just
so
people
get
the
idea.
There
are
plenty
of
people
here
who
also
make
their
products
so
they
know
the
cost
and
time
involved.
Hang
in
there.
EDIT:
WOW!!!
Nice
beads,
maybe
set
out
a
small,
but
not
too
informative,
outline
on
how
they
are
made
and
time
frame.

You
have
some
lovely
items
listed
and
wonderful
feedback
from
your
buyers,
unfortunately
not
what
I
buy!
People
do
not
realise
the
time
taken
for
hand
made
items,
perhaps
thats
the
problem,

Hi,
It's
pretty
quiet
everywhere
at
the
moment,
the
only
thing
I
can
suggest
is
maybe
to
crop
your
photos,
this
will
help
show
up
the
beads.

Very

could
be

I'm
too
old

All
the
best
with
your

Hi
hotglass,
Had
a
look
at
a
couple
of
items
(necklace
&
pendant),
very
nice
work,
a
couple
of
things
that
struck
me
about
your
listings
for
pendants,
no
size
of
glass
item,
try
to
put
in
the
approximate
size
EG.
10mm
x
2.5mm,
as
although
the
item
looks
great,
the
size
to
some
would
be
a
factor
on
whether
to
buy
or
not.
In
main
part
of
listing,
I
would
include
payment
detail
such
as
"paypal
&
direct
deposit"
and
post
costs
as
some
people
do
not
like
to
have
to
look
for
these
things,
(like
to
see
them
straight
in
front
with
main
part
of
listing)
With
the
necklace
the
listing
to
me
didn't
grab
me...try
experimenting
with
moving
words
around,
(
read
your
listing
aloud
to
yourself
and
see
how
you
feel
about
it)
maybe
text
colour
but
don't
go
overboard
with
multi-colours,
Good
luck
and
keep
plugging
away,
you
have
Xmas
around
the
corner.
Cheers.

I
am
not
much
of
a
marketing
whiz
kid
but
one
thing
that
strikes
me
is
your
photos
arent
good-
they
just
look
like
normal
beads,
arent
close
up
to
show
the
quality/detail
and
wouldnt
attract
me
as
a
buyer
tbh
-
the
photos
look
like
everyday
china
mass
produced
lampwork
at
expensive
prices.
For
eg
something
like
this
would
attract
me:
I
would
also
put
handmade
in
my
title
so
that
people
can
search
that
keyword
and
your
listings
come
up.

OK
You
did
ask.
(I
don't
have
a
shop
so
cannot
comment
on
that
part)
First
of
all
you
have
FREE
POST
everyone
knows
they
are
paying
postage,
IMO
put
the
price
and
the
postage
seperate,
plus
you
reduce
your
OZ
fee
if/when
item
sells.
Photo:
Too
much
background,
no
one
wants
to
know
you
have
a
nice
table
or
cloth,
it
is
the
item
they
are
looking
at.
I
looked
at
a
pair
of
earings
only.
Only
ONE
PHOTO,
that
one
photo
needs
all
background
cropped
off,
then
also
crop
off
the
ear
wires,
so
lookers
get
a
closer
look
at
the
beads,
so
that
makes
at
least
two
photos,
try
to
use
three
photos
if
you
can
think
of
another.
Dliscription:
quality
sterling
silver
findings
and
ear
wires.
May
be
better
to
write:
quality
sterling
silver
findings
and
silver
ear
wires,
it
is
not
clear
that
the
ear
wires
are
silver.
Are
they
plated?
if
so
plated
over
what?
What
size
are
they
(already
mentioned)?
You
could
place
a
tape
measure
next
to
item
so
it
shows
in
the
photo.
How
many
beads
are
involved?
What
colour
are
these
beads?
Do
you
offer
Registered
and/or
Express
Post?
How
will
you
wrap
the
earings?
Will
they
be
in
a
box
and/or
bubble
wrap?
Do
you
Combine
Post?
The
item
I
looked
at
is
BIN
only,
this
makes
the
item
run
for
60
days
then
fall
off
into
unsold,
you
can
also
list
as
Auction
&
BIn
and
choose
a
shorter
listing
(auto
re-list
after
say
5
or
7
days)
this
means
that
your
item
will
come
to
the
top
of
the
list
every
5
or
7
days
(or
what
you
choose)
The
system
will
still
re-list
them
untill
the
60
days
runs
out.
You
can,
for
instance,
list
as
Auction
$9.99
and
BIN
$10.00
or
what
ever
prices
you
choose.
the
auction
amount
does
not
have
to
be very
different
from
your
BIN
price,
you
just
get
your
items
going
around
more
often
than
60
days.
I
do
agree
that
to
make
your
ad
a
bit
more
interesting
you
could
write
about
how
you
produce
these
items.
Such
as
(and
I
am
guessing
here),
You
heat
treat
the
glass
at
XX
deg.
a
mould
is
used
or
they
are
hand
moulded,
colours
are
added
with
natural
colours
or
what
ever
you
use,
even
a
little
photo
of
your
working
area
or
one
of
the
tools
you
use,
something
to
make
this
idea
of
hand
made
more
interesting.
I'm
not
looking
at
any
others,
takes
up
my
listing
time
but
I
hope
that
helps.

Oh,
one
more
point,
the
discription
starts
off
with
Stock
Clearance,
far
better
to
start
the
title
with
what
you
are
selling,
i.e.
Earings.
I
don't
think
many
people
would
do
a
search
for
Stock
Clearance,
more
likely
to
search
for
Earings,
JMO.

WOW!
So
many
new
ideas.
I
have
made
notes
and
will
definitely
get
to
work
on
these
things.
treauresforyou
-
I
was
trying
to
show
the
whole
piece
in
my
photos
and
now
realise
that
the
beads
are
the
important
part,
so
the
whole
piece
can
be
my
secondary
photo......you
have
helped
me
see
that!
cardspark
-
I
will
include
some
measurements!

Goodluck
-
I
wish
you
well.
I
also
sell
handcrafted
items
and
have
been
trying
to
get
my
shop
going
for
the
last
month.
Just
don't
expect
sales
straight
away.
Oztion
is
incredibly
slow
-
I
have
heaps
of
watchers
as
well
but
not
many
sales.
Lots
of
lovely
comments
on
my
work
but
that's
it.
Hopefully
you
will
have
better
luck.
