Oh my, you mean some guy or gal in Idaho might like my hands???? I do use my hands in pics of rings and my wrist for bracelets. BUT FEET!!! Never!!!
What I will say about your success is that jewelry is a very tough business on ebay. Most of my items are handmade by me and I have a large amount of stock on hand, 500+ pieces. I rarely sell more than 5-10 pieces a month. That also depends on how much time I have to devote to ebay between my 5 other jobs. I bead for pleasure and relaxation, I am not looking to make money at this point. I am looking to build my customer base. I have great customers and rarely get dinged except for a very few. When I get crazy requests, I block buyers.
What I will say is that unless you know something is truly sterling silver, do not list it as such. If you are wholesaling from China, be aware that many things stamped .925 are only silver plated. Someone will test it, and you will get dinged. China does not have the most honest laws regarding anthenticiy. And once you get dinged, it will hurt. Buy from reputable sources. It is almost impossible to buy any jewelry not made in china, they pretty much own the trade on beads and baubles. Anything sold in the US can be pretty much shipped from china for free, but it takes weeks to months for it to arrive. Sometimes it never arrives. But if I want a bauble and can buy it from China for 3.99 and no shipping charge, I may be willing to wait 6 weeks for it to arrive.
I also like BIN rather than auctions. Set your price and stick with it. Unless it is very unique, you probably won't get more than one bid. And include shipping, people like that. Ship quickly and pack well. Even so, somewher along the line, the USPS/UPS or whatever will destroy something. If someone doesn't want/like something, take it back with a smile.
You can message me if you have any questions.
