Welcome to the Custom Made Items and
Services Discussion
Board! This board is for our

manufacture to individually personalized items, from calligraphy to clothing
design, from web design to music or art, from repair and restoration to
graphic design for businesses. Feel free to share advice and best practices
about how to use eBay to sell your service.

Hey Buyers and sellers, Beware of United Parcel Service. They do not care about your shipped items. I just received an item purchased on e-bay, shipped by UPS and arrived with many broken pieces. The corners of the box were dented and broken. Seems to me that UPS has monkeys or apes working in the shipping and receiving department. I have also seen several posts by sellers that they cannot wait to switch to another other carrier. UPS does not respond to your complaints, UNITED PARCEL SERVICE...

Hi, I've seen a number of posts by sellers on this board proposing interesting service ideas. And several members have been giving these sellers great advice to get started -- most notably wizard_mithrandir! Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and advice. I thought it might help to start a thread for new service ideas and anchor it at the top of the board. Feel free to propose any ideas you have for service listings on eBay -- services you have thought of listing and services...

Hey everyone at EBAY central! I love the new Icon you've added for non-responders (ie: to auctions they've bid on but never seem to get to you). It only increases the positive reputation in auctions I have a tiny suggestion that I think most of the sellers and buyers would really appreciate on EBAY....a "non-feedbacker" ICON. It's all psychology....and a helpful little reminder to those who don't always leave feedback on their purchases beit sellers or buyers. See...I'm I seller here on EBAY,...

I'm interested in making hand-stamped metal jewelry where you buy the disks (usually sterling silver or copper) and individually stamp letters, number and designs to make one-of-a-kind pieces. These work for pet tags, necklace components and charms. Lots of these on etsy.com. Does anyone make these & have any advice for getting started? The niche market I sell to right now is pretty much wide open for something new like this.

Hi, I'd like to do two things: 1) Sell coupon codes on auction and have an automatic email delivery of the codes upon payment. How do I set that up? 2) Sell a mini ebook (15 pages) on auction and have it automatically sent as a PDF to the customer upon payment. How do I set that up, and does this violate eBay's policies? I heard about classified ads, but the cost is prohibitive. I want this book to sell for $9.99, but the cost to list as a classified ad is $9.95. Any help at all...

Good Afternoon I was wondering if anyone knew how to make your own digital ribbon, so that I may print my designs on ribbon, to create my own hairbows using my custom graphics.. I have spent countless hours of research, and the only thing I have come up with is that if I want to use a 1.5 inch ribbon I need to make my graphic no larger then 1 inch.. However, I notice some graphics are mirrored.. Any help would be so great ful... Thanks, Chris Ps. I use Paint Shop Pro if this helps
