I would suggest having slabs/rocks for sale on your site separate from what you list on e bay. I occasionally will buy something from e bay, but I don't like being redirected there from a website listing. I may be strange that way, but to me, e bay listings should be on e bay and website items should only be on the site

good point. this is a free site and I am only allow to post 10 items for sale, then I would have to upgrade the site. I do not like paying 20 a month, for now I am just linking some on the items to ebay.
It not a auction, it is ...buy it now..., plus you get ebay buyer protection.
thanks for your comment radio..

You do get the best of both that way, which can be a smart thing to do. It's just a pet peeve of mine that no matter what forum i'm on, if someone posts an item for sale and also has it listed on e bay, I don't consider the item. As I stated earlier, I might be kinda strange in that respect  What caused me to be this way is the fact that in the past, I have responded to items listed on a web site and was told, "Oh, sorry. It already sold on e bay!" To avoid that scenario and to keep from alienating customers, try to edit your items on the web site as quickly as possible after they sell on e bay  |

For some reason your links don't work for Safari on a Mac. They seem to work with Firefox.
I'm fine with the redirect to eBay, but it should be listed on the site as a redirect -- such as click here for the eBay listing.

Steve thanks for the comment
In the green box it does say photos are linked to my ebay account.
Sorry the links do not work with safari.

I'm ok with the "photos are linked to my ebay store" bit, but your online store that is not linked to ebay is so small that I missed it the first 2 times I was looking through the site.....
If anything, you should highlight what you have nline in your site store, and then, have a button for a "link to my Ebay store for more great items"
you have it backwards, it looks like you are just promoting your ebay stuff and the online store is hidden!!

Took your advice, no more link to ebay, how is a paypal button on the photo?
I could even delete the online store and use only paypal buttons.
only reason I made this site is for friends and family, they are the one that buy my stuff.
thanks

I could even delete the online store and use only paypal buttons. only reason I made this site is for friends and family, they are the one that buy my stuff. thanks I think the view my online store, should be a link to Ebay Sales. The page you go to when you click the link should be the home page of your store. you should not have to click a link to go to your online store because you're already there. The paypal buttons are fine, i noticed the tumblr filler page has nothing but pictures on it but you have rose quartz on another page that is for tumbling. maybe you want to keep the tumblr filler page with tumbler material. Overall it looks very good and there is always something to tweak on it... everyones tastes are subjective so you have to look at each page and ask yourself is whats on this page, what the title says is on here, if you can say yes, then you're golden!! If you have something that does not really belong there but have no place to put it, make a "misc" page and stick it there. I sold coins on a rock page I used to have under "Misc stuff", even some costume jewelry and other items that were not rock related at all. Have some fun with it11 I'll take another look later if you want, but it looks to be coming along nicely to me!! ROCK ON!!!! |
