Alia...

I completely understand. I can't allow myself to place my items on eBay,
because I know the market won't bear it, and then I will become more
depressed over my items. I left the group for almost 3 months because I
felt so down, and so isolated.

It's hard when everything hits you all at once.

But I can completely understand, hun. and here are {{{hugs}}} for you!

Mary

Sorry to hear you're feeling low. Have you tried selling on Just Beads? I
hear that people have more success there than with ebay.

OH and I forgot to say, don't take your lack of sales personally. It's not a
rejection of YOU, your creativity, or your work. It's just marketplace
madness, don't let it get into your soul!

Alia -- EVERYONE feels this way at some time or other, usually many (MANY!)
times in their lives. (Your sweetie is older, ask him. He KNOWS. Get him to
hug you.) It will pass, and things will straighten out. But it feels really
bad, like it will never end, when you're inside it -- no matter how many times
it's happened to you (or me). Hang in there and BELIEVE.

*I* believe in you! Your work is LOVELY. It's sold in the past, and it will
again. Moving is one of the highest-stress things anyone can go through.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ALIA}}}}}}}}}}}}} You're going to feel just GREAT, real soon,
sweet pea! Trust me!! And we are here to send you vibes.

The market seems to be horrible for finished beadwork right now, so don't take
it personally. And there is SOOOOO much available on eBay right now, that I
think only sellers who have built up a large client base are doing well. If
you have somewhere where people can actually see and feel your work, you have a
much better chance of selling it. {{{{{Alia}}}}}

I think it would help if you get better pictures. There were a couple
pieces of weaving that I was considering, but I couldn't really see them. I
could see that the colors weren't my preferrence, but I could get a good
look at colors and the work.

One big thing about doing beadwork, is to remember that sales don't
necessarily equate to quality. A person can be a really great beader and
still be able to make sales, especially over the net. To do that you need
many more skills than beading. You need to know about business management,
photography, copy writing, selling, advertising, and more.

Don't let lack of sales convince you that you aren't good.

Ruby Lane is a nice place to sell jewelry - at least it was when I was
there. It does cost to set up, but it's not that much. There are people
here who sell on Ruby Lane, and they can tell you what the market is like.
Whatever you do, don't lower your prices. Take the gorgeous stuff to Ruby
Lane, promote the heck out of it and work really hard at it. They are great
over there. Plus, the holiday season is approaching, and things should get
better. The market on eBay is so saturated, that it is really hard to even
be seen there.

Also, think about joining Eclectic Beadery if they are accepting new
artists.

I used to run that site, but passed it on to Katfysh Jewelry, who is
wonderful.

I wish you the best, sweetie!

Woman, I know exactly how you feel! Your work is beautiful, moving is
stressful, and the ups and downs of the market are unpredictable.
Everything WILL go OK and soon you WILL feel great and confident again!
