    Looks really good. And i wish you loads of luck.

    I too sell on ebay and if you have any problems let me know.

    Also you may be fine but if this does not sell, you may want to buy a couple of things on there to get you some good feedback going.
    Some people won't buy from a brand new seller with 0 feedback, I started bidding on inexpensive things...mostly ethnic jewelry (earrings ) which I won for about 3.00-4.00 a pair, and some pillowcases,.99 cents each and books are real cheap...just to build up to a 10 positive feedback.
    That showed people i was serious about being on ebay and could be counted on to send payment and post feedback as a buyer, and when I started selling it showed I had good intentions and was not someone to not send them their item ( there are bad people everywhere).

    Like I said you may be fine...your description sounds real sweet, but if you do have any problems selling this might be an idea for you.

    lots of luck and if I didn't sew them myself I would bid on it,
    teepi

    That looks great for a first timer. :) I crocheted a "hat" this week in Minnesota.... it's not really a masterpiece. But it's pink.


    Good luck. Feedback is good. Get lots of it!

    if you post for more days then people tend to wait to bid and forget about it, its too long for an auction to last, trust me.

    It's ok Twilight....You will learn, at least you're doing something to help yourself and not just sitting there totally lost.

    Like I said try to get some feed back going...I know you may not want to spend any money but alot of people just won't buy from a newbie with no feedback.

    Also try to put up more than just one auction if you can, that will show people you're not just there on a whim.

    And check out the ebay community...at the top where it says "browse, search, sell...community.. go there and look around on the discussion boards...loads of nice people there and lots of tips.

    And when you make that first sale...put a little something extra in that purse, a key chain or a small mirror or lip gloss or chapstick, something not expensive but a little something, whoever buys it will smile big when they get a surprise...I always put something in extra. It makes them remember you and they will give you glowing feedback...
