sbs

I just logged on here after not coming in here for awhile to see you guys are in the same boat I'm in. It's sad really. I cut my prices below cost a few times and nobody bought anything (this was on fb) but now its to the point where I'm trying to get rid of what I have and wait for things to pick back up.

I gave up on Etsy after 6 months and not one sale. Lots of posting, reposting, bought a couple of featured listings, participated in the forums, got into treasuries, jumped in and out of circles lol, got a bunch of views, and nothing -- not *1* sale. My prices were low and I always got complimented on my photos (good camera, nice angles, great looking product). Time and money wasted, for me anyway.

Thanks u guys... yeah I plan on withdrawing my savings and taking it elsewhere. It's always a problem with that bank. I'm so over their fees and incompetent, rude customer service reps. Guess that's what I get for banking out of a grocery store haha...jk. Not their fault about the fraud but I've had probs with this bank all along.

My CC was hacked today!! $38.90.. not a HUGE amount but all I had in my checking!! Damn it!!! Stupid people. A charge in London at some place I can't even pronounce. And my bank wants to charge me to send new cards out. WTF???

That's high. This past weekend was my first show and I saw a lady with soy status jars for $19 for a 9 oz. I wonder if people really buy them at these prices??? I have trouble getting someone to buy a 8 oz Mason for 8.95. It's like pulling teeth.

Your display is really nice! You did great in my opinion. I had a 2 day show this past weekend and made $130. SUCKED. Ha ha.. it was slow with low attendance and I wasn't the only one complaining so anyway $510 sounds awesome to me.

*they're*

Also people tend to have more interest in things they make themselves and that's why I said maybe they like making them and are giving them more credit than their worth because MAJORITY here (in this thread) thinks their not all that great.

Whoa whoa whoa it is NOT that serious! First of all I wasn't talking about "yours" I was talking about Smelly Jellies in general.

Maybe they just like making them because they seriously have no throw. I didn't even try to sell the ones I made at the fair this weekend. Too embarrassed. smh...

I decided to give these things a try to add to my line. But in my opinion THEY SUCK! I almost feel too embarrassed to try and sell the ones I made. Luckily I only made about 10. I was SO excited to try these things. I gave one to my sister for her car, put one in my car, put a 16 oz in the bathroom and these things have NO smell unless I put my nose to it. I had read a few good things about them here with the debates between beads and jelly. I used the rec. amount of FO and added more. I added as much as I could until the jelly looked like it had grease build up. Ugh.. I'm so disappointed.... I expected them to at least have a faint smell in the car.

Ha ha.. I used this hook line when I first started my webpage. Then I read what the heck it meant and took it off. I saw a lady use it whose been selling candles for 10+ years but when I read up on "triple" scented candles, I realized it's just a hook for customers who don't know any better. Don't like it either. Now I just say HIGHLY scented. As far as your website, I understand it is not finished but did find it a little hard to navigate, cold (as mentioned), and the scent page is a little overwhelming.

I like it! It's easy to navigate and the colors look better to me than your old site. Good job!

With local orders and providing samples though I don't see why you should ever run into these type of problems.

Ha ha ha.. I'm one of those idiots you mention! I ordered something TWICE that had measurements clear as day but for some reason or another I missed it or just didn't pay attention to it. When you are excited about purchasing I guess all that "stuff" is too detailed to bother with. So. As an idiot I can tell you that I LOVE when I see something pictured next to a ruler or a quarter or whatever so I have a visual of the actual size.. just because I AM too lazy to pick up a ruler lol... seriously. I was a bride in 09 and with so many details, details, details it was hectic and cuhhhraaaazyy. I would have bit your head off for telling me my shoe was untied. Talk about BRIDEZILLA!
