Auction Tips

  1. A good photo is worth a thousand words.
  2. Adding more pictures to your auction does make a difference.
  3. Keep photo size no larger than 150K.
  4. Use your Artist Studio/Store or About Me Page to detail general information about your shipping methods or other information not directly related to your auction item.
