Jan Story replied to San Marcos Art Glass's discussion Is anyone else using Chrome having trouble viewing RL? in the group Ruby Lane
"I don't use Chrome, but the general thing to do if a browser is acting wonky is to clear the cache (which is not the same thing as history) and run a freeware program called CCleaner that you can download at…"

"I don't really follow analytics, but I have sold some "old dogs" after putting them on Pinterest.  Though sometimes I get so distracted pinning "fun stuff" that I don't get my listings promoted! "

Jan Story replied to Joel Gilgoff's discussion $100 minumum for Antiques in the group Ruby Lane
"I agree - I've had a couple of books that were over 100 years old but I can't list them as antiques because they're not worth that much money. "

Jan Story replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane
"That seems to be a favorite tactic with some sellers - it's kind of the equivalent of the used-car salesman's "belonged to a little old lady who only drove it on Sundays." "

Jan Story replied to 2Hearts Uptown @Ruby Lane's discussion Ruby Lane and Ruby Plaza Connection in the group Ruby Lane
"There don't seem to be any that I know of - or I'd be selling there too!  (Everybody seems to hate eBay... and yet we're still there because that's where the buyers are...)  There seems to be a lot of vintage on Etsy…"

"I wonder if they're some of the "bad buyers" who try to intimidate eBay sellers into lowering their prices or giving partial refunds.  EBay is starting to crack down on some buyer abuses - maybe these are people who find…"

Jan Story replied to Holly Lane Antiques's discussion Pinterest - As A Marketing Tool - ? in the group Ruby Lane
"Just be sure they're not redirecting your links along with repinning your pins.  There's a new wave of spam - it takes legitimate pins, repins them (along with comments) and redirects the link to whatever product they're…"

"Old news, and Pinterest has revised its TOS since that article was published.  You might want to search some of the other threads on TVV about this; there was one on another board about Pinterest and copyright.  As a longtime legal…"

Jan Story replied to Holly Lane Antiques's discussion Pinterest - As A Marketing Tool - ? in the group Ruby Lane
"The direction is automatic.  Click once on the picture, it takes you to the pin; click a second time and a new page will open up with the original source.  Also there's a link to the source on the pin.  You don't need to do…"

Jan Story replied to Holly Lane Antiques's discussion Pinterest - As A Marketing Tool - ? in the group Ruby Lane
"Well, how many sales refer to where they saw it?  There's probably no way to tell how much traffic you get from Pinterest unless you check your Google analytics.  I haven't sold any Ruby Lane pieces yet, but I've sold a…"

Jan Story replied to V de B:Old and Modernist Jewelry's discussion Recent ebay experience? in the group EBay
"EBay is where the buyers are - that's why we're all still here in spite of the soak-you fees, repeated policy changes, favoritism toward big-box stores, nonexistent customer service, buyer-centrism and all the other gotchas.  Though…"

"Well, when I pin one of my items I get likes and repins - but so far none of the items I've pinned has sold.  But the more eyeballs the better!"

"Well I can't even get to my boards on my phone (using Opera Mobile on an Android) so I can't see if it looks better or not.  But then I'm pretty dumb when it comes to "smart" phones.  Maybe it would work better on…"
