Although I did not know her well, she passed away.. God bless.
She has about 20 boxes of those small crystal stones and other things. Trinkets etcc.
She used to sell at the local market, and apparently made a bit of money doing it.
Do you think I should start a new store, or just keep my store and add some categories as I have almost 20.
I am going to sell them for a few dollars each. There is thousands of them.
Any thoughts?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I wouldn't waste your money on another store. Just use one of the other ID's you created and sell them at auction. A lot of people who buy trinkety things seem to like auctions for some reason. I had quite a few bits of costume jewellery and other assorted bits that I sold when I first started selling. Barely any lookers when listed as BIN. Listed for auction with a start price the same as the BIN and they all sold within a few weeks.
Once you're set up for selling on the other account, you should be able to get an immediate limit increase to 30 because of your other larger selling accounts (if you link it to your store that has close to 2,000 feedback you won't have any issues). Once you've linked, you should be able to ring eBay and get an increase to 100. I would then wait until the next big promotion and run 1 day auctions on them.

I'd like to see some pictures of the stones you now have so that appropriate advice can be given.
Just upload pics to this thread and I am sure that will help everyone in giving you advice.

boxes of small stones could be also called....gravel
might be best selling in the garden section.

And "trinkets" sounds like costume jewellery.
Good luck with selling that....ebay is awash with costume jewellery. You need to have something really special to make any money from it.
