If those don't fly off the shelf I will be surprised! Nice job!

Looks great!

Way to Go!!!! That is exciting news indeed!

That's how we do it...lol.

So those of you that make your own silicone molds, are they easy to make? I was wondering if they could be made with the silicone you get in the tubes (for the bath tub ans etc.) or if you need to get a different type (if there is such a thing). We make some of our embeds.

not sure if Lebermuth would have what you are looking for but that is where I get my stuff for potpourri.

Sounds great! I will have to try it.

I don't necessarily think EO's when I think about spa baskets. I think more about high end pampering products. I do think EO's if I want to label it aromatherapy.

Yes! Which is exactly why I started using a dropper....lol. I would rather make them using a standard tart mould or clam shells. Your welcome!

We have a PayPal Business account. We are charged $0.30 per transaction plus 2.9% of the total amount of the payment. It would cost us $0.33 to just take the payment...lol. The ebay fees would be $0.20 cents to insert the auction at a starting bid of $0.99. If the listing started at $1.00 that jumps to $.040 cents. Then there is the 5.25% final value fee. This is why I think it is being used as a loss leader. I have not purchased any of the tarts but I would imaging that they are probably made using a candy mold. I find making them using a candy mold time consuming and a pain. The only way I have found to fill such a small cavity is by using a dropper...yuck! I am not sure what you sell on eBay but we sell a variety of things. Last year we started creating a new store off of eBay to help offset the ever increasing fees. You might want to check out eCrater if you need additional sales channels. It is complete free and very easy to use.

I am not sure why they do it but I can tell you why we do. We have sold on eBay for several years. One of our strategies when trying to drum up interest is to use a percentage of the items as loss leaders. You could say we simply treat the cost like it is a marketing plan. By doing this it generates word of mouth, feedback we can use on future listings, new customers, residual sales, free advertising for our website, and market testing to help set price points and so on. I doubt they are profiting much if any. The cost to even take payment using paypal would eat up 30% of the $1.00, not to mention the eBay fees.

Very pretty!
