Auctiva for Ebay Listing

We have recently started selling on Ebay.com, supplying direct from Thailand to the USA and Europe. Prices for auctions will be starting at a very low level and P&P will also be at a minimum, so if you do not mind a wait (shipping times vary from 5 to 14 days from Thailand) you could pick up some real bargains. The Ebay.com listings can be found in "items for sale" on the marcasite_thailand My world page on Ebay.com;

Hopefully things will go as well as they have for our UK listings, which can be found at;

One thing that we are doing a little differently with our approach to Ebay.com is that we are using Auctiva - a company that provides listing and hosting services for Ebay sellers. The experience so far has been very positive and although you need to do a reasonable amount of work setting up listings, importing pictures etc. the time savings for the future should be significant, as you can host an unlimited number of listings. This will be hugely beneficial to us as we have many, many designs and having to constantly recreate listings on Ebay can be very time consuming.

If our experience with using Auctiva for our marcasite_thailand Ebay.com account continues to be good then I can envisage that we will begin using them for our already well established UK Ebay busines.

Measuring Your Ring Size

One of the most common questions I have had since starting selling marcasite jewellery online is "I am not sure of my rings size, how can I find what it is?".

Below is a quick guide as to how you can measure your own ring size and also a few tips to ensure that the measurement is as accurate as possible.

1. Find a piece of string (or a thin stip of paper - no wide than 1/2").
2. Wrap it around the base of the appropriate finger.
3. Use a pen to mark the point on the string/paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circle.
4. With a ruler, measure the length from the starting end of the string/paper to the pen mark.
5. Use this measurement and a ring size chart to determine your ring size.

Tips to improve the measurements accuracy;

* Don't measure cold fingers. This is when fingers are their smallest.

* For the most accurate reading, measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is the largest.

Valentines Day Marcasite

With Valentines day rapidly approaching marcasite with a heart theme is beginning to sell very quickly. Whether it be lockets, rings, pendants or earrings, the heart theme is always popular at this time of year. Here are a few examples from www.qtsilver.com;

In Thailand Now

Have been in Thailand for almost a week now and have found a small and inexpensive place to stay in Bangkok. My wife and daughter will be staying in Buriram until the school term finishes, at which point we will find Amy a school in Bangkok.

I will now be working on developing the jewellery business and hopefully finding good customers/resellers around the world, rather than predominently the UK.


Han estado en Tailandia por casi una semana y he encontrado un lugar pequeño y barato para permanecer en Bangkok. Mi esposa y su hija se alojará en Buriram hasta que termine el período escolar, momento en el que vamos a encontrar a Amy una escuela en Bangkok.

Ahora voy a estar trabajando en el desarrollo del negocio de joyería y espero encontrar buenos clientes / revendedores en todo el mundo, en lugar de predominently el Reino Unido.

Oportunidad de Negocio

Después de haber pasado ahora a Tailandia que, junto con mi viejo amigo y proveedor Petch, están buscando vendedores en los siguientes países;

USA
España
Alemania
Bélgica
Países Bajos
Sudáfrica
Canadá
Italia
Polonia

(y consideraría cualquier otro país donde hay un mercado para la calidad de la joyería marcasita)

Ya tenemos un comprador en el Reino Unido (que anteriormente corría), que vende a través de Ebay y a través de su propio sitio web;

http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/QT-Silver

http://www.qtsilver.com/

También estamos cerca de lograr ventas en Australia y Francia.

Como podrás ver el funcionamiento del Reino Unido es bastante éxito - una tienda de confianza y Ebay Powerseller y un sitio web que tiene una gran clasificación en Google - la primera página para una palabra clave más importante.

Lo que estamos buscando son personas que están buscando desarrollar un negocio en un a tiempo parcial o tiempo completo. Vamos a proporcionar;

* Un gran producto
* Precios excepcionales
* Uso gratuito de nuestras imágenes (y créanme que esto ahorra una cantidad enorme de tiempo y esfuerzo!)
* Libre plantillas para anuncios de eBay, usando varias imágenes que hemos de acogida para ahorrar en las tarifas de eBay
* Cuando se estableció que le ayudará a desarrollar y promover su propio sitio web (estamos felices de realizar tareas básicas de SEO usted de forma gratuita y le aconsejará sobre la mejor manera de desarrollar su propio sitio)

Business Opportunity

Having now moved to Thailand I, together with my longtime friend and supplier Petch, are looking for sellers in the following countries;

USA
Spain
Germany
Belgium
Netherlands
South Africa
Canada
Italy
Poland

(and would consider any other countries where there is a market for quality marcasite jewellery)

We already have a seller in the UK (which I previously ran), who sells via Ebay and via their own website;

http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/QT-Silver

http://www.qtsilver.com/

We are also close to securing sellers in Australia and France.

As you will see the UK operation is fairly succesful - an Ebay Trusted Seller and Powerseller and a website that has great rankings on Google - first page for most important keyword.

What we are looking for are people who are looking to develop a business on a part-time or full-time basis. We will provide;

* A great product
* Exceptional pricing
* Free use of our pictures (and believe me this saves a huge amount of time and effort!)
* Free templates for Ebay listings, using multiple pictures that we host so you save on Ebay fees
* When you are established we will help you develop and promote your own website (we are happy to perform basic SEO tasks for you for free and advise you as to how best develop your own site)
