June, that is terrible, I can remember when I first started to buy on e bay and did not have a rating, then it takes years to build a rating and they loose it. I do sell Candi dolls and Kingstate shoes on e bay, but over the past 4 years 80% of my sales have been personal items from my collections, books, items for my daughter and friends. I have tried selling on Yahoo, and wind up not getting bids. I have never tried bidville, but I understand it is the same way. Used to sell on Amazon but had too many non paying bidders, and again very few sales. Unfortunately we are at the mercy of e bay, because it seems that is where everyone goes to buy. I recently tried yahoo again, and wound up loosing money after I paid all the fees because only 2 aucitons had bids. If I had a choice, I would stop selling on e bay altogether. My next project is to sell approximately 200 plus hallmark ornaments for my
daughter. She has a collection of over 500 and has decided to downsize.
I am going to try putting some on other autcion sites to see what happens. Have a great day Pat
