This past week I have pulled out all the selling stops and finally started photographing my 1930's-1960's clothing goodies and am listing them on Etsy.
Also been taking my defunct ebay relists and popping them on Etsy as well, that way I am not continually being robbed of my monthly "freebie" quota and lowering prices to make some cheap-ass happy. I hate free shipping. I sold a plate a little over a week ago. It went 4 days and then ebay opened the Unpaid case on him, he paid on the LAST DAY before they dinged him and then I look...I have forgotten and left free shipping on the fuckin' thing, when I originally listed it, the price was higher which covered the shipping.
So I made about $2 on that plate, and how much you want to bet that the buyer will be pissy because a case got opened on him and will be looking for any possible thing to complain about?
So I am jumping ship and focusing on Etsy. It's way less stressful.
I've got 10 more vintage aprons to go, and have been debating whether to do retakes on some of the dresses I've already photographed/listed because some of them were wrinkled and I am trying to look as professional as possible.
I've got an entire armoire full of old early 1960's lingerie as well that needs photographing. There are little sheer shortie nightgowns, a waist nipper with garter attachments, pointy bras, slips, half-slips. Some still have the original store tags on them. It's a veritable treasure trove. One that ebay won't be getting their greedy hands on, thank you.
