| Hey there!! I started the web site mainly because of the restrictions for posting in the for sale forums... I don't think I have too many clients from internet directly, (yet), but is easier to upload everything there and just post saying there is new stuff... I had a couple threads closed because "I posted too many times" or so... and that pushed my decision to open a site. My costumers are mainly YT, who go to check the site... Does that make any sense??? I confused myself!

| How about selling on ebay too and then advertising your web site on your Aboutme page? I shop a lot on ebay and there are a lot of sellers who do that to get their business going, good luck and I am looking forward to seeing your bows

| I guess ebay is better for buyers than for sellers... at least in small priced items... the fees are killers on a 3.50 bow!!!

| I agree w/ Isabel...eBay (listing and closing fees, not to mention the other fees: pictures, etc) are getting HIGH and then, you have the added PayPal fees on top of that when payment is received. So for a small orders or lower priced items, sometimes, it just isn't worth it. I have never looked into eBay stores, but I heard they charged so much per month, regardless of what you sell, untop of the other fees....so, that might not be worth it either. I DON'T KNOW THOUGH! You can also put a link to your for sale thread or website in your siggy. I know in the for sale section, you are limited to how many new threads you start and how often you can post in your own thread....and this can make it difficult...like w/ Isabel because she was always super nice and posted pictures of the finished product and then if it needed to be changed, she would post a new picture....
