    Your feedback suggests that you have been doing quite well with sales over the past couple of years, despite your current reservations.

    There are several ways you can improve your possible rate of sales, some of which will take very little effort, but here are my views, for what they're worth:

    (a) Title: In general your item titles are quite good; I find the combination of country - year - subject to work well, and sometimes wonder how the sellers who list "Australian stamp" with no further information ever make a sale!

    (b) Description: use it! Is the stamp or set fine used/good used/mint/mounted or unmounted? Include the SG, Scott or whichever catalogue number, and note any variation from the standard, e.g. perforation variety or die number. For postcards, note if it is used or unused, the reproduction type (RP, phototype or chromo) and publisher details if known - these things are important to some collectors

    (c) Ensure you place the item in the correct category: I note you have several items in "Unclassified". This is a general dumping ground so it is better to put the items in the correct reign or period. If there is no obvious category then use "Other"

    (d) Try and improve the range and depth of material you are offering. It seems to me you only sell a certain percentage of what you offer, and this percentage remains constant whether you offer 10000 items or 100, but don't fill up your store with run-of-the-mill items - try and find something out of the ordinary which will attract collectors' interest (I find GB commemoratives a very poor seller, with the exception of the 1999/2000 Millennium series')

    Hope you don't mind my comments, and good luck with future sales
