I am a new seller (only a few weeks) and I am struggling so much to get views and it's been so discouraging and I am trying desperately to figure out how to market my art...and I just now stumbled on the fact that eBay has groups and even more earthshaking: ACEO GROUPS! Hello beautiful community! I might actually launch a new series of ACEOs if they have a chance of not ending with zero bids 🥹    Any artists here: If you view my store, I will view yours back! If you save my store, I will save yours back! If you watch a listing, I will watch one back! The eBay algorithm can't keep us down if we lift each other up! 🙌🏻 Just let me know so I can reciprocate 😊   I am SO HAPPY I found this community! 😍 ... View more

I know it's a wierd thing to post in an art group, but the movie was about the artist Vermeer, called Girl With a Pearl Earring. I had the flu for nearly three weeks and watched a LOT of movies I wouldn't have had time for otherwise. This movie really changed the way I see colors - in one scene Vermeer explains to his model how he layered his colors and why the first layer of colors she was looking at were "wrong". The moment I walked outside after the flick I saw everything differently - amazing. Also, I absolutely loved the scenes where they grind pigments and mix the paints - you had to be everything back then to be an artist - practically an alchemist! Gorgeous film - not to be missed by any artist! Vena ... View more

I have sold 1,000s of ACEOs from early 2004 until current times. From when I started selling in Atlanta, then, and following in Southern Oregon until mid 2015, and currently sell on Australian eBay site, ACEOs. Thousands of them. And started this forum, years ago, when it was part of my group, commencing late 2004. So I am now in Australia. And find it difficult to log in to these forums/groups. Unless I am selling more than 3, I have always sent mine in a regular envelope - usually I buy blank cards in brown craft paper, with matching envelope(s).  I place them in clear trading card sleeves which can be bought in trading card supplies. I buy tiny craft 'squares' that are about 1/4" or less square, in foam, with 2 sticky sides (remove paper from the sticky sides). I use at least 2 per card. I place the ACEOs in the sleeve, side by side (if more than 1 ACEO), each with 2 of the sticky foam squares - if you just use one, the ACEOs, can swivel around, whereas 2 keep them in the orientation that you have attached to the card. I add any  extras, thank you note, COA, or whatever, also inside the card. I also have a tendency to cut up kraft brown cards in half, and add 1/2  for extra rigidity.  I make sure that I use clear sticky tape to any envelope edges which may not be smooth. I don't use tracking. I never have. Quite frankly, for what I'm selling, the postage is far too much. If I send internationally it's over $20 just to add tracking. I think I have ever only had one go astray. I love having fun decorating the envelope I send. I think that sometimes, that helps them to be delivered more securely? You can also, wrap in glad wrap (cling film).  I have no plans to change. I still sell to buyers in the USA, as well as other countries, from Australia.  I'm not familiar with any requirements that might be different for USA users, but do know that even the Au site does have the packaging more specified. But I just have continued the same as I always have, with my 'greeting cards', with attached ACEOs in trading card sleeves (clear). Hope that helps, Regards, ~Jillian Sorry, it's really difficult for me to use the USA site - one of the reasons I don't sell on here, but on the Au site, instead as that is where I currently live. I don't get notified well of these messagess, and seems I can't reply directly. So, I'm sorry re that. All my best. ~Jillian @tobaccocardyahoo  @wickedmadart  @candd205    ... View more

Does anyone selling ACEO or ATC know if it's ok to use the new standard envelopes for sports and non sports trading cards? There isn't an option if you list in the Art category. Although, if you list as collectable, non sports trading card, single card, you can get the option, but then you're not found in the Art/painting categories where you need to be... eBay should give us the option to use standard envelopes with tracking for our art cards..  If anyone has any info let us know or if you think we could benefit from standard envelopes let eBay know.  Actually where would one make a request to suggest such an option.? ...
