I have been selling on eBay for about a month now and it's been a fun learning experience. And thanks to many members who post here for all the valuable info!!

I have three jewelry items that I just can't get any bids on. Actually only a couple views on the BIN with a best offer listing.

Can anyone help me out with a listing title, category, or anything else? I have at least 4-5 photos each on the listings. Here are the photos that show the size of each item. (I cannot list the link to the item as I am not a charter member)

Thank you!

Any makers marks? Do you know if it is precious metal? What are the stones?
 

Guess I should have added that info.

They are all hand made, hand crafted, no makers marks. Polished stones with beads, and the metal is pewter or some other non precious metal

I have the small bracelet listed at $12 BIN/OBO

The other two are listed at $20 BIN/OBO.

It is going to take a long time to sell. Put it up BIN good til canceled with free shipping and hopefully it sells before Christmas. Best advice is to forget about the listing and list more stuff to sell. HH Unless you know who hand made these items it is a slow dime type items.
 

A lot is how you take the pics.


Here's two 14k gold chains. I could have saved myself some effort doing this first, because I think it clearly makes my point.

Here's more your version... just regular light, regular pic, would still sell for the right price, but probably not draw much attention. You also have to keep in mind that having someone click just one of your items will create more sales because if you have 5 things on, that person will likely look at all 5 if they are a similar type of thing.

Anyway, here is another 14k bracelet. This seller is doing what I was trying to say.... using bright light and angles, and a decent background that makes the item stand out. The 2nd pic is just ok, and 3rd pic sucks, but the gallery image is very good and would grab attention, because it got mine.

They aren't really hand crafted, other than stringing the beads. All the elements and chains are machine made. I think the problem is that your price is too high, I saw similar items at the flea yesterday for five bucks apiece.
 

Iron Patch, the tips on the photos is great, I'll take more with different backgrounds and lighting. I'm thinking something like this

Yes, the idea is to catch it in the light right when it sparkles. Certainly a better gallery picture so a good start.
