Thanks for all the advice..who knew? NOT ME! lol..I have taken off the candy that has the names. I guess I dont understand how soooo many people are able to sell trade marked items on ebay. Obviously they are like me and didnt know they were doing wrong. Oh well, what can you do? I will be more carefull in the future.

Aww i love the gal that makes my molds. She doesnt sell them anymore for this exact reason, come to find out. So, looks like I will rename the ones that dont show and name..and make the others just for me..lol

Well, I guess the only thing to do to make this okay is to somehow make it without the name showing. Thanks for the advice!

Thats what I was thinking...maybe I could get the name off..Heres the email the gal sent me..I dont know if its rude or if Im just sensative.. I wanted to know, do you hold special licensing to use Registered Brand Trademark Names on your soap creations like, Oreo, Mounds, Kit Kat, Hershey,and Snickers. If you do,then I know I am buying from a legitmate business. If not, then it is illegal to use their names for your soap creations and sell as a retail. A state tax permit is not the same. Thank you for your time in this matter. I always check out my ebay sellers before I buy something. Have a good day! I thanked her for her concern and explained that the lady I buy my molds from does have a copyright...BUT that the only name brand ON my soaps are the kitkat names...Mounds and snickers dont have the name...this email really hit me on the nasty side, but like i said Im probably really sensative since Im only starting out...

I bought several molds to make soap with. The lady that makes the molds sells them, so i figured I could make soap and sell them. Well, they are of snickers, mounds and kitkats...the only name showing is the KITKat name. Well, some lady emailed me today on ebay saying that I was breaking the law and blah blah..Am I? Im so upset now Im shaking.I would never break the law...but I assumed that since I was able to purchase the mold i should be able to sell what is made from it right?

Darn...for 36 bucks that body butter better do my dishes and make me dinner! Haha...Well, I agree with you. i think it would be easier to go down than to go up. So, Im going to try the old rule of 2xwholesale and 3xresell and see how my show goes. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much! I will be like a mad woman finishing up last min soap this week. My set up wont be too elaborate, considering my cash flow right now...but I think it will look nice. I will most DEF take some pics and post them as soon as I finish. The booth rent was for a 10x10 and it was 45.00. The show is from 9-4 so Im hoping to have a huge turn out. I do start second guessing my prices. I have been told to double my price for wholesale and triple for my own sells...but some of my products I think the triple price is too high. My hubby told me to stop second guessing, that people will buy them. Nothing is over 10 dollars...so I guess this first show will tell all! Thanks again...you guys are wonderful

Thank you guys! I knew you would shoot it straight it with me. I absolutly HATE that shipping is as much as my product. I try to give a good discount, but what can you do? Ive got my first real craft show coming up and I have a lot of stuff I have made that is not on my site. Of course when I get it up I will let yall know. I really dont get my feelings hurt easily. I figure if noone tells you what you need to change, you will never KNOW to change it.

Alright guys, after all of this time making and testing...making and testing...reading the posts and testing...Im doing my first REAL craft show next weekend! I have my product, my table coverings (sheets and pretty runner) and I have my business cards with my ebay site...I know there are tons of posts on this subject, but just thought I would throw it out again and say... Any last min. suggestions on what to do and what not to do? What to for sure take? Im just now starting to get nervous...and am in need of a hug and feedback..lol

Okay, after years of looking at this site...I finally started making my own products and we just opened our ebay store. I know its not much to some people, but to me its everything. I have NOOOO education is web design, so this is a great accomplishment for me...Please check it out and let me know what you think...Some of the pics I need to change and make them show the wonderful detail..and Im still playing with the layout of the site..Im open for suggestions! www.stores.ebay.com/JabellasSoapBakery

Thanks ladies! That site was great. I happen to have a hair dryer hot enough and so far have wrapped 15 things...wooohooo Im on a role. I cant believe how much more professional these look. So far the sealer was a good investment

I should be use to posting with this title by now! Okay, i was wanting to shrink wrap somethings...I bought a roll of shrink wrap and an impulse sealer because I could have sworn that was what someone told me to get from shrinkwrapstore...well, now i have a roll of shrink wrap and an impulse sealer and have no idea what to do with either...I have a show in 2 weeks and I need help...I could go in either direction...but Im very curious how to shrink wrap?? and if I can get a heat gun and do it why do I need an impulse sealer?? Im sooooo confused

No offense...but can someone tell me how to change my screen name on here? Of course I was stupid and used my real name so i could remember it..

Laura, I was actually refered to your site to search for the mold that I tried to order from this site. I cant wait to see your molds and am even happier to know you are member of this site!

OH she just said she refunded my money too already on the 13th and that I should have it by monday. I kept the email she sent and will be sending it to the bb and my bank by Monday. I hate this company with a passion. This was my first experience at dealing with a person who doesnt care about CS..to me, this is stealing. To take someones money and not provide a product. Just makes me wonder how many people she has ripped off.
