AD & request

All,

Just 5 more hours left on 4 auctions for kits/sets and another day on the rest.
No bids on any yet.

http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sort=3&rows=50

I know I recieved one comment on them earlier that some of the pictures were too
dark. Do you think there is anything else wrong with them (eg prices too high,
people don't like seed-beads in combination with larger items)? Most of them
have a starting price way below what the materials cost me originally.
I have gallery pictures on 6 of them, but didn't purchase any other special
options.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Marisa2

I think your prices are totally fine. I think the main problem is that your
pics are very very hard to see. Use a white or light background, and take
the pics under natural light with no flash. That should help define color
and brighten the pics a bit.

Kandice,

Thanks!

I never have time to do this during the day time.

Do you think that if I use several lamps with natural light bulbs it will do the
same?

Yes - I use one fluorescent light and one regular light to get a balance.

Kandice,

Thanks!

If you think the sets are otherwise good, I guess I will retake the pictures and
relist. Not sure there is still much of a chance at selling hearts, but oh
well. I hope I can at least recoup my eBay listing fees at some point

Thanks again for your advice,

They are waaaaay too dark. Shooting them on a dark
wood table top was not a good idea. You can't tell what the
beads look like. That's your problem, not the prices as far
as I can tell. Get a nice light gray background and shoot
on that! I think your sales will see a large jump almost
immediately.

Hearts are still going strong - I think they'll sell if you re-do the pics.

Marisa, I have purchased kits from you and have had a lot of fun with
them. A couple are up on my picturetrail and one is for sale. I
think you take a beating on the price already. Lowering them won't
help you.

I didn't know you had any up this time. I skip read the group and
missed it. blah

Have to run, sickie dd is a whimpering.

I totally agree.

Marisa,

They seem nice enough, but I think your shipping is a little high. I love some
of the pendant pieces.
