      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>What Is It?!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ok so you have prbably heard about Etsy if you are reading this post but even if you haven't then after the 5 minutes you spend on reading this you will become an Etsy expert.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Etsy is an e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. Although this doesn't mean you can't buy from Jewelry Galore and sell on Etsy, what this simply means is that they would like that to be their focus. You can still sell non-handmade items on Etsy by simply <a title="Open an Etsy Account" href="https://www.etsy.com/join?from_page=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fsell&amp;ref=so_reg" target="_blank">Opening an Etsy account</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Fees:</strong></p>
<p>When you list an item there is a $0.20 (USD) listing fee per quantity of one. This covers an item listing period of four months. For example: If you list a <a title="Bracelet" href="http://jewelrygalore.com/index.php/bracelets.html" target="_blank">bracelet</a> and there's only 1 in stock, it'll cost $0.20 for&nbsp;four months. If you gave the listing a quantity of three, it would cost $0.60.</p>
<p>When an item sells, there's a 3.5% transaction&nbsp;fee on the final sale price (not including shipping). If your shop currency is not USD, the transaction fee will be 3.5% of the item price converted to USD at the time of the purchase.</p>
<p>All fees are applied to a seller's Etsy bill. Each month, Etsy will issue a billing statement by email and on the site for your bill. You can view current and previous billing statements by visiting&nbsp;<em>Your Shop</em>&nbsp;&gt;<em>Your Bill</em>. Please pay your bill promptly by submitting payment via PayPal or your credit card on file in your Account Info.</p>
<p><strong>Should I??</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;Etsy is abosultely worth your time because people have been very successful selling on Etsy and if that doesn't convince you maybe thinking about it as the hub for selling jewelry might change your mind. Selling on Etsy is very easy. But remember before you venture of into an unknown territory always have a gameplan on what you wish to accomplish and you will do it. Even a one page plan is sufficient for your to have an idea of where you are going and how you will get there. As the saying goes if you don't know where you are going any road will take you there. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Selling jewelry Amazon.com has never been easier with the help of jewelrygalore.com</p>
<p>How to get started in 5 minutes:</p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Selling jewelry Amazon.com has never been easier with the help of jewelrygalore.com.
<hr />
<strong>About Amazon</strong></p>
<p>Amazon.com generates the most revenues out of any around. This should be a major reason to sell on Amazon.com.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unlike eBay However, Amazon has some striicter requirements for the vendors it "selects" to sell on their website. It is even more strict with jewelry. But the good news is once you're in your golden(pun intended). If there was a market place where all of the buyers came with pockets full of cash and trust beyond comparison to any other website(with the exception of jewelrygalore.com of course) that site would be Amazon.com. They are simply the best. Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon can be called the leader of the single largest market place in the world.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Marketplaces like Amazon.com and Overstock.com seem eager to have high-quality, high-volume sellers and reward them with added exposure on their sites.</p>
<p><strong>Getting Started</strong></p>
<p>The single most efficient way to get in front of Amazon.com is by submitting your information to their <a title="Contact Us Form" href="http://www.amazonservices.com/content/sellers-contact-amazon.htm" target="_blank">Contact Us Form</a>. After submitting your companies info or if you are an individual seller, your own information, Amazon will contact you.</p>
<p><strong>Fees and Pricing</strong></p>
<p>When your item sells, Amazon collects the sales price and shipping costs from the buyer, deducts a referral fee of 6 to 25 percent of the&nbsp;sales price, a variable closing fee, and a per-item fee of $0.99. The $0.99 per-item fee is waived for&nbsp;<a href="http://www.amazonservices.com/content/sell-on-amazon.htm">Pro Merchant Subscribers</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Here's how it works:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Sale price of the item<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; Shipping credit<br />-&nbsp; Referral Fee of 6-25% of the sales price (including any gift wrap)<br />-&nbsp; Variable Closing Fee<br />-&nbsp; $0.99 Fixed Closing Fee (waived for Pro Merchant Subscribers)<br />-------------------------------------<br />= Total deposited to seller's account</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Pricing</strong></p>
<p>You may list items at any price you feel is fair, regardless of the Amazon.com price or list price, within the limits set by Amazon, and so long as&nbsp;your price&nbsp;adheres to our General Pricing rule. However, only items priced at or above the list price (MSRP) or $10, whichever is greater, are eligible for listing as Collectible music or other media products. Collectible books may be listed at any price. Music and other media items priced below $10 or list price may not be listed as Collectible.</p>
<p><a name="general-pricing-rule"></a></p>
<p><strong>General Pricing Rule:</strong>&nbsp;By our General Pricing rule, you must always ensure that the item price and total price of an item you list on Amazon.com are at or below the item price and total price at which you offer and/or sell the item via any other online sales channel.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Selling on ebay has never been easy with ebay. Millions of people shop on ebay for jewelry and now you can learn how to become a vendor.</p>
<p><strong>How do I get started?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Find a reliable jewelry vendor who you can purchase from.</p>
<p>You can either stock inventory or you can find vendors that have a drop shipipng model. What is drop shipping you're wondering? That's an excellent question! Drop shipping is basically when someone else ships the order for you directly to the person who purchased from you. You simply receive the order and then tell the drop shipper to ship the order after you pay the drop shipper.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For example if you receive an order for $100 from your ebay store and your purchased your jewelry for $50 from your vendor. You pay your drop shipper $50 and ask them to ship the item directly to your ebay customer.&nbsp;</p>
<p>JewelryGalore.com offers drop shipping for customers who would like to sell on ebay. You get the orders and we ship them out for you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are available 24/7 by email and available by phone 7 days a week from 7pm to 8pm EST on 212-465-1220.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Along with different materials, jewelry comes in all sorts of pieces.</p>
<p>Here are a few jewelry pieces that are popular on ebay:</p>
<p><strong>Rings:</strong> Thousands of buyers come to ebay in search of a perfect ring, including fashion rings and gemstone rings, and even rings to be used as engagement rings and wedding bands.</p>
<p><strong>Necklaces and pendants:</strong> Necklaces and pendants are the perfect way to complement a dress or shirt. Buyers are looking for necklaces and pendants of all sizes, including chokers that sit close to the neck, short, medium, and long strands, long lariats, and chains.</p>
<p><strong>Earrings:</strong> Popular earring styles include dangle earrings, hoop earrings, or elegant and simple stud earrings.</p>
<p><strong>Bracelets and charm bracelets:</strong> Bangle bracelets, beaded bracelets, and cuff bracelets can help make a fashion statement while tennis bracelets, traditional charm bracelets, and modular Italian charm bracelets make thoughtful gifts&mdash;perfect for eager buyers of all ages.</p>]]></description>
