OK, AM I ON CRACK OR DID EBAY TOTALLLY CHANGE ITS FORMATTING!!??

I've also seen people's sites listed in favourite links, on their About Me
page. Actually, I think seeing a websites on eBay reinforces that the
seller is a professional.

yeah - though most people do it anyway...

I believe you can mention it on your "about me page" - mine still
resides on
ebay from when I used to sell....
nowadays - I just spend money there that I shouldn't... ROTFL

I think a lot of small businesses who would not otherwise have used eBay
were listing there as a form of advertisement, and that eBay will lose
money from the new policy. They're trying to "encourage" (read, coerce)
people to sell from eBay stores intead of their own websites.

OTOH, you can have a link to a page about the product, and the page
about the product can have a link to your homepage, so that works too, I
guess. I'm not liking eBay very much right now, on account of some
things that have been going on with other lampworkers getting screwed
around with.

I had never really looked into eBay Stores until last weekend. What I saw
convinced me to at least give it a try. I love the lower listing fees, and I
think it will be a great supplement to any auctions I care to put up. I love
being able to categorize things, and I also feel it will be a great way to
offer beads to folks who don't like auctions.

I've gotta say, in defense of Ebay Stores, that it's a very simple,
economical way of selling multiple items. I've been averaging 10 sales a
month from my Store, regardless of what I am doing (or not) on auctions,
and
the listing fees are much lower. I used to sell direct from my website and
never did very well. And that was when linking from Ebay to your site was
allowed. I'd probably run away screaming from Ebay if it weren't for my
store.

I'm doing the eBay store right now, instead of auctions. eBay auctions are
slow right now, so the store option is a good alternative. Cheap listings
and I set the price of my beads. I do put up an auction every now and then,
to direct people to my store, and also to feel out the pace of auctions.
eBay really needs to step up their advertising of the stores, but so far, so
good in my case.

Yes. Catagories! I hate looking for lampwork by someone who shas 60 items
for sale, but only 4 items of lampwork.

I'm finding eBay's new format not at all to my liking. As a buyer, I don't
want to open an item and get all that stuff on what my bid is, then have to
scroll down for a thumbnail and search for what the starting bid was.

I love the category option! I think it makes my stuff more searchable, and
for those who aren't familiar with my designs, maybe they will spark a
little interest. That "hmmm, what's over here" impulse. I keep enough stock
on hand, too, so that I can just grab a bead from a tray, and that allows me
to "play" more, especially with the boro.

I don't know if that is verboten, but I know you're no longer allowed to
have a link to a sales page from your auction. People do it anyway, but
the thing is that eBay only enforces violations that get reported.
Apparently, they enforce them purely on hearsay... at least, that's what
I've been hearing.

I've considered an eBay store, too... but I'm leery of them right now.
I'll wait and see what the future brings.
