Selling handmade jewellery on ebay…?

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 10:40:20 +0000

I’m selling my handmade jewellery on ebay for the first time, and i’m unsure whether to put it as new without or with tags…?

Thanks for answering x
The links aren’t working, please just tell me what you think.

The term "new with tags" is generally reserved for merchandise bought from large retailers who use sales tags…not custom merchandise.

How to turn pendant into a necklace?

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 10:40:06 +0000

I just bought this item off of ebay (not sure if you can see but here’s a pic)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-KC-DESIGNS-amber-topaz-brass-angel-pin-brooch-/280529038903?pt=Vintage_Costume_Jewelry#ht_1603wt_704

any ideas?

This is a pin (brooch) already, so I’m guessing you that what you want to do is to turn that pin/brooch into a pendant to then hang from a necklace?

If so there are various ways to turn pins into pendants–from simple ways to a little more complicated, from purchased findings to do-it-yourself.
Check out some of the suggestions on this page at my site:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/pendants_cording.htm (click on the subcategory almost at bottom of list called *Pins Into Pendants*)

(The previous suggestion to thread a jump ring over the pin of the pinback, then to thread a necklace or cording of some kind through the jump ring will work, but the jump ring could slide from side to side on the pin if you don’t anchor it–perhaps with small beads on each side, or by gluing it in place, tec. And also, depending on how far down the pinback is, doing that might also make the top part of the pendant tip outward/forward a bit.)

Since there just happens to be a natural "loop" at the top part of this pendant, the easiest thing would probably be just to put a jump ring through that loop, then thread a chain or cording through the jump ring.

How can I tell my old costume jewelry worth anything?

I have all this old jewelry that my dad’s uncle used to sell on the flea market. I’ve already fished out all the gold and sterling silver, and now all I have left are a bunch of filled gold pieces, cuff links, and various other pieces that have no numbers on them but have brand markings, and some that don’t have any markings at all. They’re old, though– at least fifty years, some even older. One chain even has the date 1922 imprinted on it. How can I tell if any of them are considered antiques and worth anything? Is there a certain type of place I should take it to have it fairly evaluated?

You could just take it to any jewlery store and they could evaluate it for you.

what happens if i dont charge taxes on my online-home business?

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:59:45 +0000

… i live in California.
i’m only sixteen, but my mom helps me run the business.
we sell handcrafted jewelry, skirts, and totebags that we handcraft at home.

do i legally have to charge taxes?
what happens if i dont?
im planning to take orders through paypal

thanks.

Well, you are supposed to pay taxes to the State on the sales that you make (I’m assuming that your State charges sales tax. - if they don’t then you have nothing to worry about.). If you don’t charge the customer then you won’t have the money to pay the State.
