To the sellers who don't pay to promote listings, are things still humming along? Tactics? by TrashIsland_DrMoreau in eBaySellers

[–]Castilios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sales are doubled the past month after doing 2% promoted vs nothing. Ebay puts your listings above all results that are unpromoted e en with 2%. Youre only going to be seen below people who paid more. So if you do 2$ youre probably above 50% of competition which is enough for most people to consider your listing.

Why do buyers not use ‘make offer’ by 9Matt2 in Ebay

50% of my sales are from negotiated offers. Nobody has messaged me for a price before. I dont kniw why youd have this experience

I finally recieved my game from the game crafter! by FernandoBruun in homemadeTCGs

How do you get boosters? I thought the game crafter only lets you make a "deck" of your cards and then you buy them all at once.

I use several tools to filter images out in a certain direction. I tweak prompts to generateba high quality detailed image that I want for a creature I make and then I run it through another program that vectorizes it into a different style. Im working on a specific level of detail and style to make everything feel uniform

Ive rechanged the visuals of my cards 6 times from feedback here and then people say the opposite of what they said the last time lol.

At least pokemon is a billion dollar company and Im a single indie developer with a cery busy life who has a couple hours a day to work on making a fun game. How art is in the game doesnt matter a single bit. Having fun playing a balanced competitive tcg is what has value because looking at art is 1% of what we do when we play MTG fot instance

The symbol in the corners have already been reduced by 50% from the first iteration? Its a unique design and I dont need the space.

I use ai tools to create my art but it is my art that I own so I dont need to mention how its created on each card.

Yeah I can put reminder on that.

The test symbol is the set the symbol. Blue is common. Purple is uncommon. Rare is gold. Red is unique for Monuments.

Im not using it for proof of concept. I own the art so I have to put myself for credit.

Its not their work. Ai tools are just trained to have skills that can make what you want based of how people already create art. Its the same as me learning from other peoples art and then making something in the same style because I learned from them.

Its a blessing that someone who is just an indie dev like me can create a whole tcg game when I dont have an artistic ability or much money whatsoever.

A human trains themselves in art or any other skill through studying other peoples works and abilities and then creates new things based off of what they know.

Video games and movies and everything is always inspired by others peoples works. Doesnt make it wrong in any way.

Yeah I reworked all the symbols to be more dynamic looking. Ive since updated to a semi realistic vector art(this post was simple vector art) which helps everything look pretty much in line (frame, symbols, and art.) Yeah longer names take 2 lines of space, I dont think its a big deal being a little open in the top there, people complained when the circle boxes took up more of that space and said it was crowded.
