Hello,
After an abundance of emails from so many of you asking where I am and why I have not got any stock listed at the moment I thought I'd write and explain what's happening.......
As you may or may not be aware ebay are reducing types of payments made by buyers to Paypal ONLY in June. More than half my sales are made by people paying by other methods.I'm quite happy to accept paypal I just feel it's unreasonable to limit those who are happy or need to pay by other methods.Some of my previous buyers are creatively finding me outside of ebay altogether by contacting me directly and my custom work has increased. I am currently listing on another auction site under the same name minus the asterix and of course sell privately, thru two stores in Canberra and the Bus depot Markets. It is also becoming unrealistic to sell alot of my hand crafted item here on ebay anyway as I achieve much fairer prices elsewhere for the effort involved, cost of materials, time it takes to make, design creation, listing construction, packaging ect. (and would make more money washing dishes!) Anyway we shall see......... Hopefully the restrictive payment decision will be overturned by the ACCC before it even begins, but I must confess I'm not holding my breath.
Many blessings and thanks for your interest, your support & kindness, Steph |
