Nice! I don't know what prices are like in the US, but here (in the UK) I would say you are maybe too cheap. perhaps add 30% as a minimum. I would really emphasize the artisan aspect.
On your...

Indeed I am trying here again because of my annoyance with a certain other site already mentioned. They also still supply business, but it's not as it was. I also use a US based Print On Demand site,...

Well I am back again!
I like the idea of eBid but struggle to drive the traffic here. However, I'll try again.

Well let's see if I can get a niche market to work on ebid. Not a good start with it initially being down, and now it gives a warning about not being secure!
But hey ho I shall keep trying.

I get the warning on Firefox and google.....given I have just come back to Ebid to give it another try, I am not impressed.

Hi Cornishmaid
Facebook and twitter have been the route for that side of things.

Hmmm
All suggestions taken on board, prices changed to give a significant incentive to buy from ebid, and still no sales even though being plugged, whilst no plugging for other sites is seeing...

Ahhh yes I did!

I have now started to see my listings appear, so some progress is being made.

The cider one is indeed an interesting and of course intentional play on words. Always pleased to raise a chuckle.
I just wonder if the design of the mug / stein lends itself to a premium priced mug.

Just as it says really, does anybody on eBid have their listing on page 1 or 2 of GOOGLE shopping? If you do, can you post the search term and I'll go and have a look.

Cheers all

That hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention it, it is!

I think of these as steins for beer, however does anybody associate them with being a posh mug for tea, coffee etc?
A standard mug is 10oz the steins are 17oz, so rather larger.

You must have inspired me over the pond! I have just been looking at google shopping, I don't really rank very well there at all, so my sales on other sites must come from their internal traffic. My...

I much prefer the "put them up" approach :).
My first action is to see how it does side by side at the same cost as one of the other sites, then to later look at pricing effects, you have pre-empted...

As I am at the kitchen table having a cuppa this would appear to be the place to post.
Having taken listings that sell for me else where and listed them here, I see activity in the way of views but...

Hi folks
If I could grab a few minutes of your time. I am trying to strike the balance between the description being short but containing enough information. So now comes the obvious...

Ahh the home of so many pubs!

Right not one to be beaten, I am trying again! I use two other sites, one works OK and the other works quite well. So far ebid hasn't really worked for me. BUT is this my fault? It could be! so...

Even managed to change the signature... will wonders never cease.

Thanks folks for the input.

I have gone for quite a simple layout at the moment to work out the bare bones of things. Onwards.

As an example this one uses more space for branding potential impact.

Hi all
Long time since I have been active on here, but other venues have been keeping me away. I now have a seed of an idea for a business that may lend itself to ebid and I need inspiration on how...

More mugs going in, more lateral thinking, more tweeting.

Onwards!

Hi Deanosaur.
Thanks for that, it's slowly sinking in. My natural thinking is very linear (engineering background suited my thinking). I see I have to get myself working a little more...

Hmm so if I use the "Allergic to Mornings funny Mug Novelty Gift Mug" as an example, and add "comfortable bed sleep lover gift" into the title then it's still relevant but opens out the keywords.

Deanosaur .... I see your point. Now the concept of designing items to fit keywords makes sense, I just have to work out how to apply it.
