Prices too low?

[Former_Member]

Hi, new to Etsy and all its glory. I've been wondering if my prices are too low? I use quality materials but I'm concerned my prices may not reflect that. But I don't want to scare people away. If anybody could take a look at my items and give me some general feedback, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!

I don't think your prices are too low. I think that is something you have to decide based on the cost of your supplies, how much you want to pay yourself and multiply that by two.

As most people are going to tell you, you are in a very saturated market on etsy. And you just opened. The image above needs a little work. I would make sure you are really capturing the beauty of your items with focusing and brightening up your images. Include specs of the entire piece not just a portion of the earring.

Tags really need to be 2 and 3 words. What words would a buyer use to find your item?

And lastly, keep adding more items. The more items you have listed the more chances you have of being noticed.

Just out of curiosity I searched for beaded earrings and over 370K options came up. So it's a tough market out there.

I personally love your jewelery, its simple and beautiful!

Like Elisabeth said, pricing is relative. Do your prices cover the costs of materials, labour and allow you to make some money? If that is the case, then your prices are just fine.
Other than what Elisabeth said, you should consider adding a banner and even more important some policies. If you want to do business you need to specify certain things like returns, delivery times and so on.
All the best

Thanks for the comments. I obviously have some work to do on the shop.
