    Thumbs down Only 1 sale since August

    Since joining in August I have had only 1 sale - is this a record?

    I still sell on Feepay and have now just started on Tazbay. Unless things start to pick up on here soon, I will not be renewing my subscription. The only redeeming feature at the moment is that Ebid is not costing me anything unlike Feepay.

    I have emailed all of my feepay customers, put flyers in when I post off goods, have put a picture message in my email signature and even put links to Ebid from my website. I even use the same name Fossy7 on all auction sites. I know harmonicas are not everyones cup of tea, but sales are usually steady.
    Any suggestions as to what else can I do?

    If Harmonica players don't blow - they suck.

    hello

    Things will pick up, keep "plugging" your auctions on the "plug your auctions" forum and keep on sending flyers etc and things will pick up and as your feedback grows so will sales :>)

    Ebid is getting more buyers/sellers daily so hang in their as you say it costs nothing to list so thats a big plus point!!

    Hi you seem to be doing everything right to attract buyers, I send out flyers too and the peeps from the other side are still a bit shy about of leaving to come in here but slowly but surely they will, just try and build up your feedback and you wil eventually get results, good luck.
    Great books reasonable prices please click on the logo below and browse around I have quite a selection for you to choose from.



    Some great Dvd's --->

    I feel the same way at times and frustrated at not having any sales, but I plod on, trying different stock, etc.

    Don't give up as it costs nothing to list here.

    If things get really hard up, then do what I do, shave yer legs, stick a mini skirt on some high heels 'n' boob tube WITH matching handbag and come and stand at our local pub corner tonight....EVERYONES beautiful after 20 pints!!!!!

    Other than that, plod on with your sales here!

    If I remember right, , i bought a couple of those....lol

    I never seem to hear a good sales story on here...people must be selling surely...or why are peeps still hanging around...

    I have had 72 sales since the end of August...after months...years of just the odd one here and there.
    My feedback is only +288 but I think thats enough to give buyers confidence, especially as I have a link to my Ebay feedback (+668) on all my auctions

    Part of the 'success' lately is because I advertise on all the forums and groups I belong to...have the info as a footer on all my emails, and as I run three on-line charitable groups i email a lot...

    I don't sell to provide an income, in fact most of my sales are towards funds for the charites...so I don't rely on sales...

    just keep on plugging away at it and hopefully it will come right eventually.
