A picture is worth a thousand words! This holds true when selling items online. The only thing between your items for sale and buyer is a computer screen or mobile phone. Taking great photos that represent the texture, color, etc of the item is key. I added a mini photo studio to my basement and have been retaking photos of stale merchandise in my eBay store, Piece of Scrap. I recently sold two of those items with photo retakes within a matter of days.

To create your own mini photo studio, simply purchase a backdrop, dress form and studio light. Visit How to add a photo backdrop to items selling on eBay for more information.

Here are just a couple of my improved photo retakes (before and after):

Purchase your own dress body form on Amazon:  

It's a girl! Meet Quinn, my new mannequin

Order the mannequin / dress form that I use.

When the mannequin you ordered finally arrives, you make an announcement, and give her a name! As mentioned in a previous post, How to add a photo backdrop to items selling on eBay , I am stepping up my photograph game when taking photos for items to sell on eBay.

Quinn is making her eBay debut ... just look at her in her very first eBay auction:

Pick up your very own "Quinn" on Amazon and let the celebration begin!

Piece of Scrap on eBay quits scrapbooking!

Why Piece of Scrap? I started out on eBay selling scrapbook paper piecings and scrapbook layouts. I wanted a catchy phrase that customers would remember and used a play on words, Piece of Scrap. While I no longer sell scrapbook paper piecings, I have expanded my eBay business to include brand name, high quality clothing at reduced prices. Since I no longer sell paper piecings, or even scrapbook at all, I have decided to sell my arts & crafts supplies on eBay, of course.

What to sell on eBay: Eagle's Eye caught my eye!

Ugly sweaters are in and not just for Christmas! While shopping the thrift store, I stumbled upon a very decorated cardigan sweater, light blue in color, with embellished Easter eggs for buttons down the front. In my opinion, the sweater was pretty and perfect for the upcoming Easter holiday. It had 3D pink flowers on the sleeves, an Easter bunny, chick and very colorful tree design on the back. With Easter just weeks away, I knew I had to list it on eBay as soon as possible. I listed it with a Best Offer 7 day auction with a Buy It Now price of $59 plus shipping. See other ugly sweaters:

Within hours, I had two watchers on this ugly find. I declined a $35 offer stating I had just listed the item and countered $50. A few hours later, the buyer accepted the counter offer. Similar Eagle's Eye sweaters were selling for less than $50, but I can't help but wonder if I should have listed it higher.

Keep your Eagle's Eye open for this brand!
