Hi all, I have been with Etsy for about just over 6months and have only had one sale which was a commission. I would appreciate if people had a look at my items to tell me if they think they are too expensive and if they are items that they feel are appealing aesthetically. I believe in myself and products, but not so sure other people do. Thanks for any feedback, comments or suggestions

I think the prices are good considering the quality of your work which is effing great by the way!! Loving the book of shadows :D
It WOULD help to add more items, though :)

Beautiful! Don't look overpriced to me. I'd add more items if you can. When I enter a shop with just a few items, kind of makes me feel like it's unattended - but that's just an impression. Can you fill up your first page?

I think your prices are fair, considering how detailed your work is. It looks really good. I also have asked a similar question as I am yet to make my first sale.
I think the main issue is people are just not seeing your amazing work. Ways to get your work viewed on Etsy more could be to: Build up your circles, Add more items, make treasuries, join and get involved in teams, look at your titles and tags and regularly update them to suit popular tags which are being searched. Also spend a bit of time, looking and favouring others items and shops - spread the love!!
Hope that helps :)

Might be an idea to try to add some smaller, less ornate pieces that take less time to make and can be sold at a lower price point. But nothing there now looks overpriced to me.
From someone who lists in the "Everything Else" category, you might want to think about putting some of your items there. A lot of pagan and wiccan items are listed there, and it might help you be found by people looking specifically for that - who might never think of looking in, say, the woodworking category.

obviously not if you already have a sale. I think that's a good indication if your items are way to high. If you are selling you are doing well within what those who like your items will pay.
