I needed that!!

[westernstargifts]

Just when things were looking grim and I was getting discouraged with the fact that sales have decreased drastically...in spite of opening an eBay store and listing 4 times more products than ever before.....I am showing a 5 on all of my stars!! Sales are still poor but I have a new supplier lined up and I am getting my enthusiasm back again!!:-p

I will most likely lose PS status this month but the only thing I will miss is this board. You are a great bunch!!

[snoopwiz]

Congrats on your star score. Something to be very proud of. Keep listing and hopefully some great sales will come your way to help maintain your PS status. Best of luck with the new supplier. May it be the beginning of bigger & better things for you.

[westernstargifts]

Thanks snoopwiz! But I just realized that I read it wrong!:-x (I don't know why...I look at it every time someone leaves feedback). But I AM very close with 2 x 4.9 and 2 x 4.8. It must have been a brain f**t!!

I am very excited about the new supplier. Hopefully it will lead to more sales!!

judy-you certainly do have excellent feedback-not a negetive yet and impressive stars. you're doing something right, i've noticed my sales increase just a tad this month, hopefully, the trend will continue upwards like it was before, and hoping for you too...

Judy, I don't think you are going to lose PS status that easily.... And besides it's golf season. Copper bracelets make a wonderful accessory to golf attire and are therapeutic as well!
Great feedback/stars by the way!

Thanks guys!

Andrew, I don't golf. Do a lot of golfers wear copper bracelets? And do they wear them for the look or for the therapeutic value?

[cgcgraded]

Judy, I do see people wearing them and have seen the infomercials on TV. People swear they work.... Who really knows.
The ones I have seen have been plain copper bracelets.

Hmmmm........Any golfers out there? I have a copper bracelet I can sell you.....guaranteed to get you a "hole in one"!!!!B-)

[westernstargifts]

I think that one reason why I have good star ratings for shipping cost and time is the fact that I send everything either light or small packet through CP. It is cheap and goes by airmail so it gets there fast most of the time.

I don't have to worry too much about things getting lost or insurance (CP won't cover jewellery anyway) because my stuff is fairly inexpensive. I haven't yet had anything lost. One package arrived with a tire mark on it and a crushed ring. I just replaced the ring and didn't require the lady to return the damaged one. I now have a repeat customer who left me glowing feedback!

I will soon be selling more expensive jewellery as well though. Then I will definitely worry more!!

Hello judyr9096,

Congratulations on your 5 star rating!

You still have a couple of days before the month is over to achieve your quota. Don't give up yet! I just squeaked by this month.

Good luck!

Thanks Nora! It seems to be a tough month for a lot of sellers.

June through August is always tough for most categories.

[westernstargifts]

Thanks Monique. I didn't know that for sure but guessed that might be the case. After all, it is summertime!!

[zarzuella]

June had been fairly good up until this last week.

I do a lot of buying (and preparing listings) in the summer months, that way I'm ahead of the game when things start to roll in the fall. Take advantage of the down time!
