Hi, I am new at Etsy, not really sure what I am doing. But I need a banner, can you help me, or do I do it myself? I have Picasa, and I want this to be kind of country but showey. Like some bluebonnets in the background because I am from Texas. But my main things are, albums,scrappy, jewelry. I need help. thanks BD

great start!

A thought on taping over bar codes: I print out my postage Via paypal which comes with a tracking number. I was frustrated because my bar codes were hardly ever scanned and I could not track the shipment. I asked my friendly postage carrier what i could do to help, and he said to tape over the bar codes! All this time I had been taking extra time and care NOT to, he said that they can get wet and smudged and then won't scan, and that the reflection from the tape over the bar code really doesn't matter. Now I always tape over my codes and almost always find them scanned in. (I also write "scan please" next to the label)

Comment by: quiltnut60

My question is regarding either consignment or just selling at a discount to boutiques and they can sell at their own price. What would be better? For instance, my lip balms are priced at $3 which is for a pretty nice sized pot. I could wholesale them for $2 each but then the store could sell them for $5 each. Should I just start my prices out higher? It's all so confusing!! I should probably charge more for my lip balms as it is. I dunno. HELP?!!

I have to admit, it is a bit disheartening to see the list hit 333, but then once I refreshed the page, go to 413. That's a LOT of wiggle room.
