Also, I wanted to say in response to this - there are so many threads
started everywhere complaining about ebay or asking why ebay is slow, etc. etc. ad nauseum. People need to try and at least search for other threads like that before posting their own. There are communities on ebay for just that kind of help. People need to read and do homework before posting. There are those of us who have answered those threads time after time after time who are really getting weary of it. Questions are fine. If you're new at this, ask away - but please do some homework first!! You say people don't know how to start. If they have found their way to a newsgroup or forum to post their questions, they can most certainly search the web for answers first. The web has tons and tons and tons of information on how to lampwork, how to sell on ebay and how to run a business. All I ask is for a little effort on their part before expecting people to take the time and effort to type out a long explanation about how to do whatever. That's all I ask. Research first. Then, if you still have intelligent, well thought out questions, post them! The majority of people here are really good at that. On wet canvas, it's somewhat of a different story. Even with all the helpful threads right there at their fingertips, there are still people who post "why is ebay slow?" and "what's wrong with my auctions?". Do a search - you'll see. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Anyone with a little talent can do this if they work hard at it, and listen to their customers. People complain way too much and tend to think this is an easy way to earn lots of money, and think they can do so without much effort. I understand that. But also, some people don't know how to start, or how to find out the information. Sometimes it's "laziness" (i.e. let eBay sell the item for me. If I put it on there, it should automatically sell with 5million bids). I think part of this is not just "let's set prices" but the education, also. It's not just support of "aww, poor baby, you aren't getting your prices, but you need to raise them". But support should also be sharing of hints and help. But not specifically "Here's the formula for selling your items and making a million like I do". I agree with most people when someone comes on here, and says "how do I sell, and where?". There should be some research, and also, each area is different. But guiding, and hinting is good. And there *are* "here's the formula" sites out there! :-) |
