Richard’s Products on eBay

Competition on eBay is quite something. Everyone wants to sell their items. Sometimes it’s not easy for the seller to keep their income level or increase their income level

So what can a seller do to have more eyes looking at their listings? Why they should auction bump their auctions!!

Where do I go to do this and how does it work? you’re asking………

Medieval & Victorian Decor Ideas is just the website you need. Looking under the categories link, you will find the auction bump grid. With just a few click of your mouse, you can add your item photo, then copy and paste your auction title and auction listing number and within a matter of seconds you’re done.

There are some bump sites that allow you to bump your store logo, MySpace, twitter, etc. Many of these bump sites sell banner advertising to cover their costs. Several allow you to put your store banner on it for free.

You should take the time and read the requirements…some allow only 3 or 4 postings and then you have to wait until your item is bumped off the grid before adding more. Some allow you to add 3 or 4 items per day. But you should always pay attention to what you are listing…there is no sense in listing the same item 3 times in a row.

Add your item first and then if you’re not sure the process worked, refresh your page to see if your item posted well and then add another item. If you’re having a hard time posting, verify if your image is too large. That happened to me and I discovered that my digital camera was set to the highest setting, making the photos way too large to upload.

It is extremely easy to use and my sales have been greatly helped, and the best part? it’s free. As an eBay seller you have absolutely nothing to lose and much to gain in terms of traffic and money. This is also another way to have repeat customers. You will see more bids and more sales.

So after you have done that and if you are a powerseller, scroll down to the top 100 powerseller stores and add your eBay store. Just another way to drive traffic your way and it’s still free. So come do the “bump” and have fun.

Stately Statues and You

Medieval decorating for the home is gaining a lot in popularity.  People are becoming more open to new themes and ideas.  There are a number of brick and mortar stores and online websites that are dedicating themselves to objects related to medieval home decorating.

Statues are one item that is seeing a surge in popularity.  Statues are not only for the yard, they can even be used for the home.   Adding a statue to your homes is one way that you can make your home more exquisite and beautiful.

Selecting the right statue for your home is the first step and should be well thought out and planned.  Remember you will most likely be keeping these statues a very long time, so choose wisely.Take time and look at the room where you want to add a statue.  What are the colors, is the room more feminine or masculine?  If the room is in light colored tones, putting a black statue of a Greek god won’t appeal to the eye.  The statue will really stick out.

When you have decided where to put a statue, you need to measure the space and take in consideration where the wall and the furniture is place.  If need be, write down your observations on paper and bring a measuring tape with you when you go to the store to shop.  This will save you time ,effort and risk.  You don’t want to buy a piece and bring it home and then realize it doesn’t quite fit in.

You also need to think about what kind of statue you want.  If you have children who are active or pets or both children and pets, a floor statue can easily get knocked over.  The children and animals could get hurt and the statue can get broken.  You want peace of mind and spirit with children, animals and statues all getting along under the same roof.
Choose a statue that has meaning for you.  If you are going to be seeing it or passing by it day in and day out, you want a statue that invokes a pleasant feeling in you or makes a pleasant impression in the atmosphere.  The themes you choose for your statues will be a reflection of you and your personality.

If you like to be considerate of others, keep in mind that some statues may be offensive to others.  If you really like that statue that is sexually suggestive, think of maybe putting it in your bedroom.

Here is a section that you can have fun with…….

Your home or room can become all that you want only if you open up your mind to all the possibilities.
