Just an update.

Having spent a lot of time (slow computer) deleting the word Swarovski from my listings and then buying some genuine Swarovski and listing them in the hope of drawing buyers to my non genuine but still top quality items, my sales have dropped right off and thigs which in the past were being watched are not even being viewed at times.

I wonder if it is a general trend in the beading world at the moment, or if my being honest about my products has given an even bigger advantage to the Chinese sellers who do list their products as something they aren't.

And to top it all off, I found out through another discussion, that I am probably also guilty of violating the 'Multiple Listing' Policy. AArrgghhhhhh!!!

I think I'll take a break for a while and just use my 30 free listings. Will certainly save me fees on all those now unsold products! Heck, I might even just use them all myself and crystal bling my house. Crystal light shade anyone????

Thanks again to everyone who provided good honest constructive criticism and advice.
