I am thinking of selling some of the crafts that I do on Ebay.
(Beaded jewelry, greeting cards (handmade) and things with polymer clay like magnets and little figures.)
I was just curious how well those types of things sold…
well it depends on what they are , how you present them, and the cost.. this being collage football sure things of that nature would sell …. you can sell anything to anyone if presented right . even stuff they don't need just cause it is cute , or has there Passion on it , like football, music group, animal,,there own picture or grad kids picture on it ..

i produce and source exotic fashion accesories like beads, bracelets,necklaces,african artworks,sculptures,etc.and am hoping to expand my clientele but i have very limited knowledge of how to use this medium as it was recomended to me by my friend.
I'd start by putting a few items for auction on e-Bay. There are some beautiful handmade beads and items for sale there. I don't think it is too hard to create an account there.

I would appreciate some feedback.
I make jewelry, beaded bags and other handcrafted items. I have only sold online. I visited a local consignment stop to possibly sell my items there. The owner told me that the store would get 60% of the sale and I would get 40%. I expected 60/40 but I thought I would get the 60%.
I do have other stores to visit. But can anyone give me feeback about this?
Thank You

That doesn't seem very reasonable to me unless they can price your things high enough so you get what you need to make a profit. When I do consignment, as long as I get my margin and they sell, the ratio is less important. If you have other stores in your area, absolutely check them all out and compare. The area that you live in may also affect the going commission rates.

I would like some suggestions on what to name my charity business. Here are the points about my business that are important in choosing the name:
–100% of profits from all sales will be donated to an eye hospital in south India
–jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets) will be made from semiprecious gemstone beads and silver and will be handcrafted by me.
Here are the ideas I have so far, but none of them satisfy me. I would like the name to be shorter and catchier. Let me know what you think of these or suggest others!
–Pretty Visions Jewelry
–Gift of Sight Jewelry
The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route…
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
