Getting Crafty about buying (and selling) your Craft

This Guide is not only meant to offer help and advice for those people wanting to purchase Craft items, but also as a general rule of thumb guide of tips that I have found to be useful in my relatively short time as an eBay Seller.I originally started my time on eBay as a Buyer, mainly of clothes for my young son, but I quickly became aware that it would be a great place for me to sell some of my vast collection of craft items that I had gathered up over the years. Not only could I make some extra money but I could also make room for all of my son's new clothes.I started very enthusiastically as I'm sure we all do and was rather lapse in my judgement of time, which I have found is a very important factor in selling successfully.For starters, don't end things on a weekend. The majority of people go out on the weekends and I have found that nothing really sells at this time of the week.The other thing I found to be most helpful was ending your auctions after dinner time. Most people are home and sitting down for a rest and most of those people check their emails etc and have time to bid. Ending auction times in the morning or the middle of the day is definately not the peak period and is much slowly for sales.I'm sure that all of the regular eBay Sellers are more than aware of these small tips but I thought it would be valuable to all those people of there that have just started, like myself, and are not getting as good a response as they'd like.Well I guess I should start talking about the subject I'm meant to be giving advice on, which is Buying Craft Items.Q
