Ebay Listing of the day 5/29/09 Precious Moments

Today’s listing of the day is…

PRECIOUS MOMENTS Rejoicing with You E-4724 1980 HCTS 

 I woke up this morning feeling lazy…giggle. So of course, I picked one of Anna’s listings so I wouldn’t have to work very hard on the critique! 

Your title is perfect. I searched the completeds to see if the word “figurine” would help you, but it doesn’t appear to make a difference in ending prices.

Your description would only be improved by adding the size of the figurine. I might also include a bit of a narrative, to give yourself more searchable terms (when bidders search title and description). I’d add something like this to your description: 

Look a this great Precious Moment’s (porcelain, ceramic) decorative figurine of a mother and father with their baby. Perfect gift for a new mom and dad, infant baptism or dedication, or for a collection. You could find a lot of reasons to give this as a gift, or just keep it for yourself! This collectable is in mint condition, with no box. 

The keywords I wanted to get in their were: porcelain/ceramic, figurine, mother, father, baby, gift, mom, dad, infant, baptism, dedication, collection, lot, gift. I’m sure there are many others you could work in…but like I said…I’m tired this morning. ;) You can see where I am going with this. 

I‘ve reviewed your terms, me page, etc in a previous blog. Everything is great! 

 Have a great weekend ladies-and don’t forget to vote in the forum for our combined listing of the week(s)!

Photoshop Magic Lasso

Here I am, getting ready to use it! Sadly, you can see my lovely wrist bands in this picture.My arm bands repell bullets, of course…but what you don’t know is they also dispense packing tape.

 

Funny, photoshop “officially” calls it a MAGNETIC LASSO. My faux pas! I’ve always called it Magic, and it seems so magical to me!! Here’s a tut that explains it much better than I ever could. She copies and pastes hers, I drag mine. BTW, I have CS3 and you do it the same way…it’s just my lasso is in a different place.

    

Ebay Listing of the day 5/27/09

Our listing of the day is…

NWT 12M 1PC SWIMSUIT by ANITA G 12MO NEW hcts 

 This is a well done listing for a very cute infant’s swimsuit. Your gallery picture really drew me in. It’s beautiful. My only critique would be to crop it in a bit.Your title is pretty good. You don’t need the 12 mo twice. If you put “12 mo” as your size keyword, you get results from 12 mo, 12mo, and 12mos.

A song to get you motivated for working today!

Ebay Listing of the day 5/26/09 Docker’s Window Valance

Today’s listing is for:

NEW Dockers St. Thomas home green window valance HCTS 

 The reason I am featuring you, dear…is because you have an emergency!!! Please add curtain to your title, stat! :) Not trying to be a drama queen…but when I searched for the newly listed HCTS auctions this morning, I notice yours right away for that reason. I think your new title should be:

NEW Docker St Thomas window curtain valance green HCTS

Your listing description is good. I love how you gave the fabric content and the size. Your pictures are also good. I think maybe I’d try letting people know whether or not they are lined or unlined. And I might also try to find the manufacturer’s stock photo on the web to show the curtain on a window. 

Your terms are well written. I like that you make it clear that do combine shipping, but I’d like to hear more about that. Do you combine at the actual rate/weight? Is it a $1 or $2 more per additional item? If I have to ask you, I loose my impulse to buy right away. Also, in your terms of sale receive is misspelled (that one gives me trouble, too!) and I think your terms them selves put a negative image in the potential buyer’s mind. Instead of saying, “All sales are final, but if you recieve an item in really bad condition or think we have grossly misrepresented any item, please contact us so we can make an arrangement.” you could say…”All sales are final. However, if an item is damaged in transit or if you feel I have made an error in my listing, please feel free contact us.” Do you see the difference?

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you thank your customers!! That is such a nice touch!!

Hope this helps you, and thanks for being the listing of the day!

New Blog look

I ended up going with a blog template, even after trying to make my own in the WP theme generator. Ya know what I really love about this one (other than the fact it needed to be teal/orange)?? Those little tabbies at the side with the date on. Aren’t they great? I’m probably going to tweak it a bit more, but I’m happy so far and wanted to give you a sneak peak!! Did you log into the forums yet? If not, you are in for a big surprise!! 

xoxo,Rebecca 

my apologies…

I got started on the new HTML for the main site, and neglected to do a listing of the week. I’ll resume the listing of the day Tuesday, and we’ll do a combined vote for the two weeks next weekend.

 The site is turning out AWESOME, by the way…if I do say so myself. I think the relaunch date will be June 1. :)

Ebay Listing of the day 5/22/09 KATE MACK SWIM SUIT

The listing of the day is…

Kate Mack Daisy Swimsuit 5 NWT 

 What’s not to love about this listing? Cute photos and sweet template. And the bonus- she’s a Powerseller with a well organized store!

Your title covers good keywords, tankini and bikini. I would love to hear from our commenters about her use of “swimsuit” versus “swim suit” or “bathing swim suit”. I always try to include bathing, but is that a regional term from the Northeastern US? What do international bidders call suits?

Your description is short and sweet. I don’t blame you for not measuring the suit, but my only critique is that you should have included the fabric content. As a mom of three competitive swimmers, I can pretty much tell how a suit is going to hold up based on the lycra/nylon content…so that’s valuable info to me. :)  

 Your picture is TDF cute!! I would love to see the back of the suit and a close up of those gorgeous flowers.

Terms, etc are just fine!!

Thanks for another great week, friends!!

 xoxo,

Rebecca
