I CONTINUE TO HAVE GREAT SUCESS IN MY STOREFRONT. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH AW AND THE SUPPORT THEY GIVE THE SELLERS. THE ADDITIONS AND CHANGES THEY MAKE SHOW THEY PAY ATTENTION TO OUR NEEDS AND THAT THE SELLER IS THEIR #1 PRIORITY.
I AM HAPPY NOT TO HAVE TO BE IN THE BACK SEAT TO THE BUYER. LIKE ON SEVERAL OF THE AUCTION SITES.
I HAVE A VERY STEADY BIZ NOW THANKS TO COMBINING MY AUCTIONS AND MY STOREFRONT. I USE THE AUCTIONS TO LURE IN THE NEW BUYERS AND RETAIN THEIR EMAILS FOR FUTURE MAILINGS.
I LIST ALL MY NEW THINGS IN EBAY WHO HAS A WONDERFUL ADVERTISING CANPAIGN. THIS BRINGS ME BUYERS. THE ITEMS THAT ARE NOT SOLD I TRANSFER TO MY STOREFRONT AT A $1 DISCOUNTED PRICE. EVERY 2 WEEKS I SEND A NEWSLETTER TO MY CUSTOMERS LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT NEW ITEMS I HAVE. I LINK MY STOREFRONT TO THIS NEWSLETTER. I USUALLY HAVE 200-300 WORTH OF SALES WITHIN 48 HRS. THEY BUY FROM MY STORE AND MY AUCTIONS.
I AM A FIRM BELIEVER IN AW AND THERE EFFORTS ON HELPING ME BUILD MY BIZ.
I RECOMMEND AW STOREFRONTS BE TURNED ON AND USED.....

I DOUBT IT. MY STORE HAS THE SIGN UP FOR MAILERS LOGO, EBAY KNOWS THAT AW HAS THIS IN THE AUCTIONS. IF IT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE THEY WOULD LET AW KNOW TO REMOVE. I AM ALSO NOT MAILING TO ALL OF EBAY. ONLY TO CUSTOMERS THAT I HAVE HAD A EMAIL RELATIONSHIP WITH IN THE PAST. ALSO AW HAS A THREAD THAT GOES WITH EACH MEMO THAT SAYS REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILINGS IF YOU DO NOT WANT ANY MORE MESSAGES FROM ME. THEY ALSO HAVE A 14 DAY RULE. ALL MESSAGES MUST BE SPACED 14 DAYS APART SO THEY ARE NOT "SPAM" I FEEL SAFE IN USING ALL OF AW SELLERS TOOLS. THEY HAVE A VERY CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH EBAY AND WOULD NOT WEANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT VIOLATES THE RULES.

What type of items do you carry? Better yet, what's the name of your storefront? I might have to do some shopping!

I SELL DRESSES FOR DOLLS. I HAVE DABBLED IN A FEW OTHER THINGS BUT FIND MOM'S WILL BREAK THE BANK ON THEIR KIDS! I DON'T THINK I'M ALLOWED TO GIVE THE STORE NAME. I HAD MY HANDS SLAPPED BEFORE. IT SEEMS WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PROMOTE OUR STORES IN THIS FORUM. JUST DISCUSS THEM. I AM VERY HAPPY THAT I HAVE BEEN SUCESSFUL IN THE STORE. IT WAS VERY SLOW GOING AT FIRST. BUT ONCE I STARTED THE BI WEEKLY MAILINGS THINGS REALLY PICKED UP. I HOPE YOU DO AS WELL.

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like you're doing great! It's always nice to hear someone happy instead of whining for a change. (And I'm not just talking about my kids!)

I love my storefront too but I have not gotten to the level that you have. You said that you transfer items that do not sell to the fixed price storefront! How do you do that? I want to be able to transfer items that do not sell for my reserve to the fixed price store for my reserve - can I do that without redoing the entire listing?
Thanks for any help.
Wish you could give me you ebay ID - I need some clothes for a vintage doll that I have.
Can I give you my email here?

WHEN MAKING MY AUCTIONS I ACTIVATE THE ADD TO MY STORE BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME. IY SENDS IT TO MY STORE. AFTER INPUTTING ALL MY AUCTIONS I GO INTO INVENTORY AND CLICK THE QTY AVAILABLE DOWN TO A ZERO. I ALSO PUT A $ SIGN IN THE TITLE AS FIRST SYMBOL. THIS TELLS ME THAT IT IS A ITEM THAT IS UP IN AUCTION WAITING TO MOVE TO ACTIVE STATUS. THIS SAVES THE ITEM UNTIL I AM READY TO ACTIVATE IT AS A LIVE STORE ITEM AND AT A GLANCE I CAN TELL IT A PART WHEN LISTING ITEMS. I WAS CONFUSED AT FIRST ON MY PROFILE ITEMS ON WHICH WERE AW OR EBAY OR WAITING. I NOW PUT A329 OR E329 IN FRONT OF MY AUCTION TITLES. THE A MEANS AW PIC #329. THE E MEANS EBAY PIC #329. THIS HAS HELPED ME IN LISTING MY AUCTIONS. I CAN SEE BY THE ALPHA IF ITS AW OR EBAY PROFILE READY. SINCE THE STORE ITEMS ALL APEAR IN THE PROFILE I HAD TO FIND AWAY TO TAG & IDENTIFY THE AUCTIONS.
MY CUSTS EMAIL ME ABOUT #329 NOW SO ITS EASIER TO ANSWER THERE QUESTIONS. WHEN READY TO LIST I JUST GO CHANGE THE E TO AN A AND DELETE THE $ SIGN AND ADD TO THE QTY AVAIILABLE. ITS IN THE STORE. IT TAKES ME LESS THEN A MINUTE TO MAKE THW CHANGE. I RUN MONTHLY SPECIALS. FRT FREE ON $50.00 ORDERS. I GIVE FREE DIAPERS ON CERTIN ORDERS THINGS LIKE THAT. I MAKE THESE OFFERS AVAILABLE ONLY ON STORE PURCHASES. IT WORKS. I STAY HOME WITH MY KIDS AND ONLY SELL ON AW AND EBAY THESE DAYS. YOU CAN MAKE A LIVING THIS WAY. IF YOU LOOK IM EASY TO SPOT. DO A SEARCH FOR AMERICAN GIRL DOLLS. IM SURE YOU'LL FIND MY STORE.
