And on the relist page there are three options.

1. relist at a price you want
2. relist at half the price of the first listing
3. 99c

eBay even puts it there for use as a choice right on the relist page.

That explains why I've missed it...I don't do turnaround relists.

X-No-Archive: yes
**Great new** on whatever you're doing so potential bidders don't have
to wade through "relists" (AKA repeatedly unsold items ;-)

That was my main beef with the site.

I hope you do get a lot more traffic and sales and sellers and bidders
from the eBay fees thing...

I must be using words wrong again. To me your discovery of lampwork, like
mine, sounds like a natural progression of maturation of beading interest.
I thought I heard people saying many people discover lampworking by bopping
around on eBay, out of the blue, someone uninterested in beads. And I had
been surprised by that.

things that my nan would wear, and the rest, they say, is history!

Why? Less than a year ago Mike had no idea about them either. I had

no
idea about the complex polymer clay beads out there. It was because

my
interests were in other areas. My sister, who is friends with the
publisher
of B&B didn't know about lampwork until I showed her some and gave her
some.
It was outside her interests too. She knows that there are people who
make
beads but until I showed her the auctions, she had no idea there were

any
on
eBay, and JustBeads? It might as well have been a boutique in Sedona

for
all she knew.

Not everyone is the cognoscenti. And that's the truth.

My friend did. He came across lampwork and emailed me about it because it
looked like it could be used in jewellery. He was letting me know there was
a world of cool glass! Like I needed to know about more cool glass! He'd
never heard me talk about it either!

Bless you! I put the shipping costs clearly in the auctions, and have used
a flat rate to save time and confusion as the sets are pretty much similar
in weight. It saves time and hassle and people wondering how much extra it
will cost to get the beads shipped. And a number of very clued-in people
have paid when they win without having to be invoiced, which is nice.


When everything is spelled out clearly I always pay immediately, it
saves everyone time and energy and the beads/findings get here that much
quicker!!! Who wants to wait!

Now that I don't trust or use PayPal I have to double check that payment
options include credit/debit cards. But still, making everything clear
makes it easier for everyone... I sometimes just walk away from auctions
I may have been very interested in if I have to work too hard at finding
info or if the info is just not there.

The original problem was my gullibility (stupidity, naivete, trusting
nature etc)... I got duped with a stolen credit card in a now familiar
and well know scam.

"I am buying the necklace set for an ex-gf's wedding gift. Could you
please send this cash amount, which I will send to you by Western Union,
for her as well? I don't want her new husband to know it came from me."
Ahhhh, so sweet! Me = idiot.

The problem escalated when PayPal would not work with me, to go after
the 'other' guy, even when I gave them verifiable email addresses,
physical addresses and phone numbers. To be honest it was my fault...

And I believed that I would be treated as a merchant not as the
criminal. As it stands now I owe PayPal a lot of money ($1000+) and
offered to try to work with them to pay it back. But they said it was
'pay in full' or it would be sent to collection. Because of the last 3
yrs of medical bills (pre-Medicare coverage) my (once good) credit is
shot so I just explained to the collection company that as soon as I
inherited a lot of money or won the Louisiana Lottery I would be glad to
pay in full, in the meantime very small monthly payments would be all I
could manage. The collection agent was actually a really nice guy and
said he would get back with me but I have heard nothing for over a month.

So I like to blame PayPal but they were responsible for problems only
after the fact. I am responsible for not being cynical and suspicious
and not checking every detail/asking every question.

such is life... we pray for wisdom and receive plenty of lessons!!!
