|
|
I have been on Ecrater for a while now but never put a lot of work into it and I don't use it very much as a venue to sell my products. I was recently adding new items and noticed there is a new column in the shipping area labeled "ship with another" for us to put a reduced shipping cost in. Can I leave these blank? For the new items I added, I just reduced the shipping cost by $1. As I said I don't sell much via this site (which is fine) and so I certainly will have little to none multiple item sales. Even if I did, I wouldn't know how much to reduce shipping by until I knew which items were being purchased and shipped together. Any comments you have about this or my store are appreciated. |

Assume that the item you are selling is not the first item the buyer has purchased. If the first item needs $10 to ship then the 'with another item' should be the amount added to the $10 shipping to cover the excess weight. When figuring what to add, consider weight, extra packaging, extra insurance over what has already been included in the $10 charge.
Shipping is always calculated as heaviest item is the first item with additional items included using the 'with another item' cost. |

Definately let me know if you want a record bowl for a musician/band that you don't see on my website. I have a huge inventory and can add more bowls to my website when you want them! |

You have some neat items Grooverepurp! I like the Uno card notebook. I have seen the record bowls before, they are gaining popularity amongst nostalgia collectors. There is a guy at our local craft fair that does them. You might wanna try a craft fair at some point, there is a specific audience for repurposed items like yours. I have seen a few sellers attempt to repurpose items like this but they were not practical, they looked cool but were really unusable, or they just looked bad. But you have done a nice job. Consider getting a Pinterest account and promote the record made items via Pinterest. |

Thanks! I enjoy what I do and it's great to get feedback! I've done a lot of craft shows and that's why I have a huge inventory but not all of it on my website. I also recently started selling wholesale to stores so I will probably be doing less craft shows in future. Unfortunately I am not tech savvy and have no interest so I have to really push myself to work on those things like my website....I should do facebook and pintrest. I sound like I am in the dark ages because I don't use either one of those! |
