Wow, how did you make those?

I've been itching to make and sell some sort of crap on eBay for ages. you are now my hero

one question though- aren't there copyright problems with this? I had a friend who used to make custom switchplates for eBay and ended up getting several nasty emails from companies that owned the images he'd been using.

decoupage.

i don't think so.... i mean, people sell posters, i dont see why cutting a poster up and putting it on something else would cause a problem...

And if someone has a shit fit, i'll shank em.

I'll have to do some research on this decoupage thing. Shank you very much ;)

Decoupage is fun. ^^ I've actually sold stuff like that before. =D

Ok, critique time. ^^

Your titles are actually pretty decent. My main concern is #1 - are you sure you are charging enough for shipping? and #2 - yeah, copyright issues. Techinically it's illegal/against ebay's policies BUT that doesn't mean you can't get away with it. ^^ It's the same thing I do with buttons. Companies to watch out for: Anime Gamers (FLCL and possibly Broccoli stuff) and Right Stuff (Boogiepop Phantom, Gravitation and others) - they are the only ones I've had shut me down. WHR and Saiyuki should be ok though. ^^ But do be careful. =)

So, shipping. $4 doesn't sound like *nearly* enough. Aren't those candles kinda heavy...? That's another thing - you don't have any dimensions listed! That is always death. >_< But yeah, you need to think about ebay fees and Paypal fees - that usually ends up being well over $1 (sometimes a lot more if the item sells for a lot), plus the cost of packing supplies. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with USPS's ( ... )

And proofread, for god's sake!! XD

I did the listing actually so I'll take all the advice into consideration, I'm planning on the layout just waiting on a good version of photoshop to download, shipping was a rough estimate, luckily all my shipping stuff was free so it should even out, but yea higher is always better than lower. Kim wanted to just get some items out there so those were kind of hurried, now that I'm getting back into it they'll get better.
