Hiya, my names Maxine. I've only been on Etsy a couple of days, and I think I'm comfortable with the way my shop looks at the moment but I may have the completely wrong idea, so I'd love for some people to have a look :)

I dont use up all 5 shots, I could do. Do you think it's a good option?
I only added a few items that were all a bit different , shoud I have added more/less?

I would ship internationally but too be honest I think I'm scared of it, so I've limited myself to the UK only. I think this may hold me back in the future. Is there anywhere I can read up about International shipping/customs and costs?

Thank you :)

Hi, I think itś not important how many photos youĺl show, but how intelligible they are. I think your photos are sufficient.

It is important to use all.....if you don't have all, put something else like I love Etsy.

Hello "rockysprings" , can you explain why, I don´t understand, thank you.

Hi Rockysprings1984, can you please explain why?

Can someone else please check out my shop? :) Ive made a few more changes, more tags and a longer description.

Your pictures aren't bad, but I think they would look better if they were a bit lighter. Also try to get a closer picture might help. Sometimes hanging the earrings on the edge of a glass or something might help. I know you may not have items made right now, but when you do list things, try to list just one or two things every day. It will help. As far as using all five pictures, I've heard both. But I think if you have a good view using two or three, that should be good enough.

Hi ClarkArts!

You can use the Royal Mail price finder (http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder?catId=23500532&gear=pricingcalc&forcesegment=SG-Person... to find out how much it will cost to post your items abroad. A lot of Etsiers are from the US, so you might benefit from having international postage.

I don't think you need to use ALL of your 5 images, but some close ups showing detail might be an advantage!

I just started my shop today. Good luck with yours!
