One of the continuing successes I've had is selling handcrafted pewter and silver jewelry for Arch Avary in my Dilbeck Metalsmithing eBay store.

At the moment, all the items available are store items because the auctions ended earlier this morning and I haven't had a chance to relist them. Two out of four auctioned items sold this week.
I also maintain his site at

We don't make a huge number of sales, but they're fairly consistent. Over the next few months, I'm going to be helping several other artisans in western North Carolina sell their products on eBay. I intended to get it done months ago, but I'm still playing catch up.
I originally got started with eBay after talking to my brother who was selling all kinds of drag racing memorabilia and being very successful at it.
I looked around for resources, and found an ebook called Make Your Net Auctions Sell!, published by Ken Evoy. I paid the $30 for the ebook, immediately downloaded it, and studied what was presented. A few days later, I opened my eBay account and it's been active ever since.
Recently, I learned that Make Your Net Auctions Sell! has been updated into what Ken calls one of his Masters Courses. His masters courses present quality, useful information, and he offers them free because he uses the opportunity to tell you about his outstanding service, Site Build It!
Now, you can download a copy of Make Your Net Auctions Sell at no cost at:

If you have any interest in auctioning your products on eBay or other sites, then you may want to make some time this winter to read this book.
I recommend it highly.
