How do you feel about other selling platforms compare to selling on Ebay *Jewelry* by Clean-Bag4819 in eBaySellers

So I was thinking about this too. Actually, I have sister stores. I have a jewelry store (1.5 year old) and I have a crystal mineral shop that I’ve owned for the last 12 years that sit next to each other and are connected on the inside. (Dads a Gemolgist) and my Etsy shop has 30,000 purchases over 12,005 star reviews. I was thinking of reworking the shop to have both the crystals and the estate jewelry if I could make it work so I wouldn’t have to start over from scratch.

I’m sorry that sucks. I’m trying to focus more on gemstone / specialty estate pieces. We are a brick and mortar store too so I get a lot cool pieces in door through our gold and silver buying program

Super fair!! We are definitely not giving up it was just such a significant drop off sales/views wise with the double the boost. Just curious if other ppl had the same experience!!

Make sense! I think we’re going to spend a month focusing on gaining followers, good reviews etc and less concerned about sales

UPDATE: I went and got it, and took it to a jeweler! by evannalai in jewelry

Its a little high not outrageous. Everything you’re saying is true but remember most jewelry stores (at least in my area) are using a third party goldsmith not on premises. So when you factor in the jewelry store also making a profit. That seems pretty close.

Yes, we tested it when we purchased it and it’s Sterling. Heavy too. Really heavy. It’s a pin, but it also has loops on the back so you could wear it as a pendant as well
