When you are set up on pinterest, search your type of products and follow EVERYONE that also have an interest in them. I see that squern is following more than 2000 people so he really has been busy and it has paid off for him as he has made some sales through people seeing his products on there.
I have been listing here for 2 or 3 months and only today have I had my first bid, not one that I am going to shout about, but little acorns and all that!
Thanks! I'm already registered for Pinterest but don't really know how to use it properly. That's great advice! :-)

You've got another one now!
Best wishes.

Of course, I guess I could negotiate lower prices once I start to sell a bit - but not really at the moment. ,,,
Sorry, I don't understand. I guess it's a business you're passionate about, regardless of profit. Which, provided you have an income from elsewhere, is an indulgence you can afford.
Otherwise it makes no sense to me to get into a business where the margins are pared to the bone and you're being exploited. With 13 auctions on the go, you're never going to have any clout with your suppliers. You need an automated listing system and 13,000 auctions.
