Lampworkers and Buyers Come on over to Just Beads
I don't work for them but I'm doing an experiment that hopefully will be
successful. With everything that has beeing going on with eBay not listening to lampworkers' pleas to remove imported lampwork from the main artist category in which we sell, I am attempting, in my own little corner of the internet, to try and shift things the way of JustBeads.com. An eBay boycott? Call it what you want. I'm committed to, at least for one month, post all of my auctions at JustBeads.com and not on eBay and I'd like anyone who wants to, to join me and others who feel the same way. While I don't think the importers directly hurt my business, I do think they make it cumbersome to weekd through non-featured auctions on eBay and I guess that DOES hurt my business. I know that some people don't like certain features or lack thereof at JB and that's fine. I'm not asking you to come. BUT, if you're willing to give it a go and come on over and list, sell and bid, please do. eBay might be easier in some regards but paying $19.95 to be seen for every auction might just balance out any inconveniences one might feel at JB. Come on over....tell all of your friends....put it on your web site, post it everywhere. Ok, that's enough words...you get the point. Thanks. -- -------------------------------------- Lori Greenberg www.lorigreenberg.com ebay: http://snipurl.com/5wlc justbeads: http://snipurl.com/axek |

Well, I don't list on ebay right now anyway as we are in a dispute over
fees, and I have never had much luck on ebay anyway. Just Beads on the other hand has been great. I'm looking forward to seeing your sets up on JB Lori, because I think they are unique and beautiful. Good luck! Cheryl |

I do not make lampwork (although sometimes I sell it in kits) but I've never
had much success on eBay either.... It seems I get lost in the shuffle... and there's too many people there who undercut a reasonable price to make it profitable for me anyway. I've been selling at JustBeads since 1999 or so and was their first featured artist! http://www.justbeads.com/user/artist...gallerybio.cfm My feedback is up to 1060 http://www.justbeads.com/feedback/in...?user_id=21770 And I've been very happy there. I would be so thrilled if more traffic was directed there - Bob and Bettina are just super to work with and they deserve the recognition! -- Karleen Page Vibrant Jewels: http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm JustBeads: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=21770 Join our Yahoo Group: wrote in message ps.com...

I've always been strictly Ebay although I love to shop at Just Beads.
I've been thinking about putting up some auctions at Just Beads because like Karleen said, it's nuts the way people price their stuff on Ebay. I don't even know how some of them make a profit. I've done pretty well at times but then the fees are kinda nuts especially if you have to relist things. I like how Just Beads has free relisting (they still do, right?).

I like them better too for the most part. I sell pressed glass and I
guess my one gripe would be that the general category is swamped with beads listed at many times their actual worth, mostly by one seller. Like you said about ebay, it's hard for customers to weed through. I know there's not much they can do about that but it has it's effect either way. One possible improvement would be to subdivide the General category with pressed glass and maybe even further subdivide that. The relisting for free and bulk relisting feature are great though!
