Listing...

Am I the only one who doesn't like listing? Whether it's on Etsy, Artfire, eBay, etc? I find it such a chore.

Take a kajillion photos, pick what you think are the best 1,3,5, somehow get the first photo (on etsy) to look cute so people will look and bajing! you've made a sale.

I'd rather sew. Actually, I'd rather clean the bathroom than list.

I have a rack full of clothes and a shelf full of bags that are gorgeous but... I still haven't listed them. I could be selling them. I could be making money. I could be spending that money on more fabric. But still I don't list.

I'll procrastinate for days or weeks and finally think... I'd better list.

Is it just me? Or, do you dislike the process too?

Here's some things that I should be listing...

Italian jersey dress

Clutch bags

  4. I go through phases where I list a ton and then won't for a few days... all depends on how I feel. But I know what you mean! When I don't wanna list is reeeally don't wanna list. But.. gotta make the dough somehow. :)

  6. Absolutely agree!! I am trying to get a few items that are not so unique, that I can just hit renew and be done with it!

  8. I completely understand. It's especially hard when you're selling one of a kind items, as each listing is different. But my many years of retail taught me, "You can't sell it from the back room!"
