Excellent listing-love all the pictures! Are those leggings or bike shorts with the dress? You might want to include measurements on them-just so your buyer knows for sure.You did a great job solving a potential problem with having the tag attached to the hangar- how you went above and beyond to explain how the item will be shipped to avoid any problems down the road.I would drop your less than 5 feedback restriction. Although I’m sure you have that in there for a good reason, I’d be willing to bet that the ones you want to avoid won’t let that stop them, and probably wouldn’t even read it! You have an excellent return policy, and it makes me feel very confident in you!! Also, excellent feedback and DSRs!! Great job, great seller! I wish my girls could still wear Baby Lulu!

Your listing looks great! Very good picture, sweet and concise description. I wish it was a size 7!
Have you noticed my blog postings get really short when I feature the “best of the best”??

Your listing is EXCELLENT!! I love your easy to understand description, terms and shipping. I think your explanation/asking for 5 stars is one of the best I have EVER read. I noticed that you have a lot of tole painted items listed…do you make them? If so, you are one talented stork!

Big Announcement!!
We have our own HCTS SSB custom template!! It’s really cute, if I do say so myself, and should help you with your affiliate clicks!! Here it is in one of my listings:
Gymboree set
Please see this thread in the private area of the site for directions on how to get this template from SSB, and for a special coupon code for storks only.
We :heart: SSB here. I know there are other options, and I respect you all who use them…but my experience over the last 6 years with SSB has been wonderful, every second. I’m now blessed to have recently become an acquaintance of the owner, Kristen. She is a work at home mom, just like us, and super nice. When you support SSB, you are not helping some huge mega corp, but a real person.

Today’s Listing of the day is…
Very cute listing-this is an adorable set!!
Eeks, dear!! You don’t have the size in your title!! This is a major issue, and you need to edit that right away. Here’s what I’d use for a rewritten title:
Baby GYMBOREE Summer Picnic watermelon dress lot 0-3 mo
Oh, GASP!! Did I just reccommend someone remove HCTS? You bet I did. I’m all about the increased exposure of adding HCTS to your listings-but with this being a BABY item (sizes take more space), and a Gymboree item (can’t they make shorter line names?)…I think HCTS needs to go. I wish there was room to add “girl”…you could take out watermelon and add girl & hcts. Watermelon might be a *dumb* keyword…I’ll admit that. I feel strongly that it should be there, but I can’t manage to explain why this morning!! Maybe I can update this post later. About your piece count, I know it’s tempting to count socks individually and bloomers as separate items. Really, this is a three piece lot though, dear. And if I read your “5pc” as promised in your title-I would be expecting to see more pieces when I opened the listing. When I don’t I think, “wow, she is counting the socks individually?? Oh, please….” and click out. 
About your listing fees. I see you listed in two categories and added a subtitle. I think I would have just listed it in 0-3 mixed lots. Starting it at 6.99, you are not looking at a lot of profit after fees.
Okay, I have given you a lot of tough love up to this point. If you haven’t picked up a rock to throw at me yet, read on-the rest is ALL GOOD!!
Your description is FABULOUS. I have never seen anyone use the SSB title box that way, and it’s great!! It really grabbed my attention right there in the beginning. LOVE it!! The body of your description goes above and beyond!! You are really selling it, girl!! If I had to give one critique, I would suggest that you include measurements, but I *always* say that. I’m “broken record rebecca” on the measurements, giggle!!
Your pictures are awesome!! I love that you included so many.
Your terms are just fine!! I would consider offering a flat shipping discount, like $1 or $2 for each additional item. The buyer can figure it out easily, and knows where they stand with shipping.
Have a wonderful day!
xoxo,
Rebecca
