Where have you all gone?

I saved three sellers with a view to buying something from them in the future. There was one seller who was selling cake decorations, but I couldn't remember her name. I clicked on all three to see which one it was, and none of them had any auctions running. They have probably decided not to stay with eBid and removed all their auctions. This is a pity, as I would have bought something from the cake decorations seller. Please stick with it, new sellers. Keep listing as many and varied items as you can, as you never know who might want to buy something from you eventually. You can still list on other sites, but keep your options open here, too.

I remember her, someone suggested she tried selling them in smaller lots, she obviously decided not to bother. It is a shame because I'm sure a lot of sellers would look on here first and there is no reason why they cant keep some free listings going at the same time as anywhere else.
I went to a table top sale at the weekend which was to raise money for a local play group and they asked if I would go and sell some things (I think they coerced all their friends to) but it was very disappointing out of the 30 parents that send their children there only 5 of them went to buy. It ended up with all of the sellers buying from the other sellers, quite funny really.

I don't think it was her - it was someone else I came across who was selling unusual cake toppers, but she's not here any more!

No, it wasn't Sugar Glider. I've actually just bought something from her.

Excellent post, one I hope many will read and follow.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
