lots of looks and a few sales but not a lot.
but after Christmas no one is buying.
I have put then on as handmade bears but when I go on the the handmade part of ebay there is a lot of fabric bear and stuffed animals in that group.
see as my bears are mostly mohair or faux furs have I putting them in the wrong category.
if so what would you sale them as ???????
