I did one and didn't notice any extra views or anything, renewing a few times is definitely a more effective way of getting more views/purchases.

I think lot´s of seller have turned from the Showcase spots to renewing instead. And that could be an explanation to the massiv upload of items right now.
Listing a new piec means getting drowned and turn up at page 15 at once...:(

Pw = Project wonderful

projectwonderful.com

i have an ad box on my blog

pawandclawdesigns.blogspot.com

which helps pay for the ads i place on other blogs and sites.

you need to deposit 5 bucks from paypal to get started, make an ad ( i use a square product shot) and that's about it. ;)
