Hi, I am new to ecrater and just want to introduce myself. I sell antique photographs, vintage prints, antiques, collectibles, wood bear carvings and much much more. I am just learning about ecrater and listing items. I moved a bunch of stuff from another site and not sure if items are showing yet. Hopefully I will get some sales here. ruthscollectibles

Hi Ruth,
Well all I can say it works for me! Selling on eCrater for about a year now, with 2-4 sells per month. All though it is, like trying to promote a personal website and takes time and WORK a direction of force. It does help pay for my high speed internet and it is a challenge! Read the forums on ecrater, it helps with the learning curve.

I think a lot of us sellers on ecrater come from big selling venues like ebay and amazon. I cannot expect to get the instant gratification on ecrater, like the selling I did with the big guy's auction sites. But none the less if you work it some profit will come out of selling on ecrater. Remember the old saying delayed gratification? What I realized is this. It is a store and in the store I need to have inventory, always adding, updating and the big one is promoting my store. Yes, it is a lot of work and it is starting to work. The gratifying moments will come in time if you work it.

Also I had to do a mind set. At eCrater, I am on my own! There is no Big Brother ( ebay or Amazon) promoting my listings for me, but at the same time using Big Brother to my advantage when I can.
Ecrater is just another selling venue I can use and learn. And at very little cost to me!

Hang in there!
P.S. Experiment with your prices, even if you just break even. It helps to get that first sell here on ecrater!
Fred...
