Is there a way to hook people up with the items I'm selling. I only have a few items.Do I need a store? Is there some kind of URL link, I could use to send people to. Why I ask is because I need kind of a website address to put on a business card. Thanks

A way to hook people up with the items you're selling?  ...  Um, that's what ebay does.  You put up a listing and wait.  Ebay connects buyers with sellers.

You have 6 items for sale right now.  A store would not likely be profitable in this case.  Are you planning to add lots more?  What makes you think that handing a business card to people with a link to your listings will yield more sales than the routine search queries for those sorts of items  performed by thousands of people every day?

You have a feedback of zero.  Are you just selling off a few items or do you have some sort of long-range business plan you intend to lauch shortly whereby you will be listing dozens if not hundreds of items?  I'm just not sure why you think you need a business card when each listing is itself a colourful advertisement for your product.

Would you want to elaborate a little?  People here can provide much more detailed responses if they know exactly what you have in mind.

If you have a current B&M business card you could add "Selling on eBay as "onceagaincollectible" probably on the back with your QR and Facebook addy.

You could also add a ME page describing your B&M business with links to local attractions, your FaceBook page, your twitter account.

More useful however, is tweaking your listings.

Your titles need not be grammatical, and you can add common misspellings to the correct spelling of items (Aynsley/Aynsly). "Made in" is a waste of free keystrokes.

You can use Item Specifics much much better. These are an important Search tool for collectors. The brand, date, pattern name, manufacturers codes, etc are all important.

Your pictures are good.

You have no shipping for the USA listed. Up to 90% of your sales will be to the USA. So fix that. There is a glitch between the dimensions for Canada Post Regular/Expedited and USPS Priority shipping.

There is a blue link on the SYI page that tells you the acceptable dimensions. When you use Calculated Shipping, double check that the US rate did show up. If it didn't, increase the Canadian dimensions by a centimetre until they do show. This will not raise the rate your Canadian buyer sees.

And two other minor details. On the plus side, we get a 20-25% discount on the PO counter price for Expedited shipping when we print our labels through Paypal.  On the down side, as a new seller your buyer's payment will be held for 21 days against your performance. The shipping label can still be printed and that money will be released.
