You need to have a link to your items as part of your signature.

[stylusman]

i will as soon as i get store set up which will be coming very soon all spent out at the mo after buying stock gone from 3 different items to 13 in space of a week and i am sure if you take a look you will agree they are all at a very good price.

[astral276]

Well I am in the market for a lighting fitment. I went to have a look at your offerings but, to be honest, the pictures just didn't cut it. Too small and no detail. Certainly not good enough to help base a buying decision on - so no sale.

[stylusman]

hmmm thats strange i have never had issues using these pictures before but i will look into it and see what i can do

[astral276]

Well I'm afraid this for a main image just does not do it for me:

See Justin ~ I have said this to you many times and it's not done.

Stock pictures don't do it for me either. Why have a picture of a black notebook when you are selling a pink one.

I really do think it would be wise to put some time into your listings. Let customers know you are serious about selling

[stylusman]

i am selling both black and pink laptops and just checked the pictures are correct ?
I have also just taken a look at the pictures of the lights and i cant see a better way i could take the picture as the pictures you were saying about show a item that is quite long which makes it hard to take a detail picture of.
As for the store and link that is coming very soon its swings and roundabouts as I need a sale to keep paying for things and the next thing i am buying is membership so i can open store. The prob is i have been off work since feb and money is very tight as had a accident I have just spent alot out on stock as i am sure you can guess when you see the quantities i have brought so money is a bit tight. do you believe that a store / link for store will really make that much difference ?

[tjsprinting]

Stylusman The sub titles and stock pictures give the impression you are using a drop shipper, many peeps dont trust this and just wont buy from you, take a few minutes to take photos, add a few dimensions to your listings, another bone of contention can be your registered as an individual yet giving the impression you are a successful business, which raises a question regarding buyer rights where DSR should apply.
I think you still have a few things to look at, but you are getting the hits and as you say the sales will come

[stylusman]

no way dont do drop shipping I have taken the pictures myself well of the lights and used product pictures for others off the manufacturers websites but i do own the products believe me they have taken up one whole room what used to be a bedroom in my flat. I am registered as individual at the moment as i am just starting out again and when i get up and running fully and get my lifetime membership in place then i will upgrade to a buisness.
Astral point taken maybe i need to try changing background when taking picture of a white light. but you can click on it think to enlarge ?
Hmmm am now considering registering as buisness thats playing in my mind as well now and dont know if i would go out and spend money with a individual if i had a choice to do it through a buisness instead

[stylusman]

point taken white light on white background does not look good

[foxescome]

BD you have said the very thing I have been thinking. I also get doubts when people say about how many sales they have on t'ther side, it is easy to check though. I would never buy from dropshipper if I had any doubt, which I have to say I don't think Justin is as his feedback is good

Justin YES it does make a difference about the signature - even if only to the people who have taken the time to advise you when you ask for help. You don't need a store to add it just a link to stylusman listings

[stylusman]

ah oik i thought you may need a store as all the signatures start

http://uk.ebid.net/stores/

I will link to one of my items then and see if it works thanks for advice

[stylusman]

WELL WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE CHANGES AND NOTICED FIRST SALE I AM OVER THE MOON SEEMS TO OF TAKEN AGES BUT WE GOT THERE IN THE END THANKS FOR ADVICE GUYS AND GALS x

[stylusman]

oh and thanks to borderdoors for the sale hope i have done everything right ?

[tjsprinting]

oh and thanks to borderdoors for the sale hope i have done everything right ?

YOURE GETTING THERE!!! the thing to remember as well is that all these posts on forums get picked up by google as well ( can be a bit embarrasing sometimes!!eek ) and if they are clicked and you have a signature that links to your items or store, hey you have another potential customer, so double wammy, it pays to keep posting and joining in the fun of the forums ( apart from which more posts means you get rid of the LURKER handle!!

[stylusman]

yeah i did notice the lurker thing how many posts do i need to do before i get rid of that title ? sounds horrible lurker lol

[tjsprinting]

yeah i did notice the lurker thing how many posts do i need to do before i get rid of that title ? sounds horrible lurker lol

think it was about 500, then you will be a DIEHARD!!

[stylusman]

wow 500 feels a long way away but diehard is a lil bit better

[tjsprinting]

the numbers soon mount up, especially on an evening when the old vino has been flowing, the YDC is a good place to start as well, have a look, if you can join in next month- better still join in this month and have a little retail therapy with a difference

[stylusman]

yes i will do. Hopefully be joining sometime in the next week.
I know what you mean on various other sites have made some purchases after a bottle or 2 of rose and woke up in morning wondering why i brought what i had still its part of the fun. and then when items turn up that you have forgotten you have ordered is even better its like christmas all over

[tjsprinting]

yep the YDC is like that too, now why did I buy those pink fluffy handcuffs? and do I really need to know what mags is hiding under his catflap? eeeeek.

[stylusman]

lol i can tell that i am going to continue enjoying my time here the people here are lovely cant wait. anyway enough excitement for one night i am off to bed nite

[constanta2010]

Now, how the hell can I get more buddy points? My email shot of around 200 people the other night obviously hasn't worked because I'm still on about 3.145 or something like that. Poor me. :(

Hi Justin

I liked the look of the fan with lights

(Modern Fan On stand with neon lights http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/honeywel...r-30288470.htm (http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/honeywel...r-30288470.htm))

and almost bought one on an impulse buy. However a quick search located the same item for £18.00 cheaper in total elsewhere. Sorry mate!

[stylusman]

wow thats cheaper than what i brought them for alot cheaper glad i dont have many in stock as i try to be the cheapest online.
Constanta2010 I just emailed my facebook friends list and loads joined must be luck i think i am second at the moment on buddy points and only been selling and using ebid for about two weeks. wish i coulld get my second sale now though its been a week since my first one and i have spent a fortune on stock oh well must be patient lol
