We are a new auction site for crafters and everything handmade.


We have only just launched within the last week crafty auctions

Site has not any auctions and is not full of members just yet.


There are no fees or any fvfs and no hidden fees to pay.

We have just installed our ssl today so that all pages are safe.

Even though we are .co.uk were accepting members from around the globe.

As soon as we can get the .com name we will be purchasing it .

We do hope you will come and join us .

Many thanks

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

would it be possible if you all could give us some reviews/feedback of the site please

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

I like the neon colours - it looks fun :) maybe add few different craft photos

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

thanks
regarding craft photos did not really want to make it too crafty.

as once we get auctions on they will be craft photos off the auctions.

did not really want to make it out of place if you get me

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

I hear you - just need to get some user action now

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

some action would be verey good at moment
think with having no auctions on there at present is nt doing the visitors any good

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

Need to promote more? Get user traffic via publicity

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

Facebook is a great place to promote for free.

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

Good luck on your new auction site.

edit: I think you should of started a penny auction site. :peace:

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

we have already promoted on facebook and had a good response back
just need the auctions on there now
and many thanks for the good luck
dont really like the penny auction sites

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

Penny auction sites seem to be losing money unless you go the Quibids way or so

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

OP's genre would never suit that style of listing.

:cheer:

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

true we would nt suit a penny auction site
also penny auction sites take to long for auctions to finsh

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

i agree long an frustrating
members seem to be rising slowly i think once easter holidays are out the way
hopefully the auctions will come

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

You need to find a way to get a lot more traffic.
Not just on this forum.

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

Heck of an idea.

Spin off of Etsy but a UK version.

Nice colors and design.

Like others you need tons of traffic.

Get the word out as no one ever thought any website would take business away from ebay and etsy has done it and continues to do more and more.

Good luck.

And great idea!!!

Re: new craft/handmade auction site
 

The one thing that makes ETSY so attractable to me is they let sellers sell Vintage items.

If it wasn't for that, I would never even bother to click on their site.

Maybe start incorporating the vintage side to your site and see what happens. ;)
