      I never tried Ebay.  Etsy was not that great for me.  I have my own website and get a few orders from there.  My biggest money makers are craft shows and I have my products in stores on commission.  I do have one wholesale account.  

       

      I am 68 and also on social security and I know exactly how you feel!  I guess I will be working until I die!  :)

      did u set up your own website?

      How do u advertise it?

      I am thinking more along the lines of melts. I really do not feel comfortable with candles yet.

      I did do my own website using Shopify.  It has a lot of built in tools that help with getting your site noticed.  I don't really advertise.  Somehow people fid me.  I'm not sure how.

    I ordered 8 oz tins from CS and they are rusting after about 2 weeks afer making candles. Not using any vanilla or cinnamon fragrance , all floral and berries. How do i keep this from rusting? I bought from them because shipping was the lowest I could find and the tins have feet that i like.

    I was just looking into the Etsy fees and they seem a little higher than Ebay.

    Flaming Candle 600 for containers? I am testing my 8 oz tins with 4630 and doing ok but want to get some soy in there. The reviews are mixed on FC. I need to know if I should try it or mix some 464 with my 4630. Thanks Karen

    What is the strongest fo for 8 oz paraffin candles in a tin. I am using 4630 wax and the last fo I tried was Bob's Flower Shop from Fragrance buddy and it did pretty well as far as h & c throw. Anyone have any others to suggest?
  8. karinz40
    OK will keep trying

    So my guess is that 464 is not good for little square melts......

    I bought 10 pounds of 464 to make my little square melts in a 40 cavity silicone mold. I melted to 185, added 1 oz of oil and color. Two hours later it is still liquid. What is wrong or does it take forever to set???

      I am very interested in the oils, NOT food but others.  Can you give me a list of floral and desighner or anything other than food soI can choose the ones I want.

    I recently ordered sample fo's from them and the scents were not exactly asdescribed and very light. The customer service rep I spoke with when ordering sid The ones I ordered were strong because that is what I wanted but when arrived and put in my melts they were NOT strong at all. They may be close to you but if your not happy with the outcome, it is worth ordering from others like Lone Str, Flaming, Aztec etc .

    The call for help channel is closed. To many calls on this I bet. Said try back tomorrow. I don't like change, Not sure when I will get paid now.

    yes I can set the bank account but unlike Etsy there is nothing indicating how often you get the deposit. Not really a problem right now because sales aree so slow but I am thinking about going over to the Etsy but there are already soooo many melt sellers there.
