Oké, this is just to see wether it works, lol.
I have listed just 2 items so far.
Have to work out a lot of things yet, like payment etc. But will figure that out when it gets rolling I guess.
MIND you, this is just a trial set up.
Items ARE for sale though, lol

ANY input is welcome, even if you think this is nothing, lol
Here is the link, check it out and tell me honestly what you think, any improvements I can make. ALL help is welcome since this is the fist "business venture" I am int :)

Good job, Marian! I'm no expert on pricing, but I think yours are reasonable. How much is p&p from the Netherlands?

For just one item it would be $1.20
And then depending on the weight it doubles or more.
But one item, $1.20.
SO not bad I think??

And I thought about the pricing: what would I pay for something like that.
I mean I don't need to become a millionaire, lol. Would be nice but....
And these sound like the prices I would pay.

I think it is really pretty and I really like the background. A few things, and I hope I don't offend you
(I have been a graphic designer for the past 9 yrs so may be overly picky)

1. I think the background for your headline is a busy, although it is really pretty also. Are you using photoshop? A trick I have used when you have a background like that is to just blur it behind the text then you don't loose your pretty background and the text is easier to read. Let me know if that is confusing. I also think you need a prettier font for your headline to fit the theme of your site. You can look here for some free ones: http://www.fontfreak.com/main.htm

2. I think you need a period between me and in for readabiltiy.

If you are worried about payment and such you could look into a prostores account also. I am setting up a store for my friends who make jewelry out of antique spoons ( www.twistedspoon.biz , not done yet ) and that is they way we are going then going to take payment through pay pal only.

Hope this helps,

Mandy

Mandy thank you SO much for your input, and no am not offended at all, just grateful!!

I love the header but also thought it might be too busy, but just like it. I don't know how to blur it, don't use photoshop.
And thanks about the font too, I don't like this one either. But it was the only one that went with the free background, lol. Will look at the link you gave me :)

YES about the payment!! I do have a PAYPAL account so was looking into that to use it. I will again look at the links you gave and will give a holler if I need any help oké??

PS added the period, lol. DUH!!
