How is the success rate on bearpile? Do people frequently buy there?
I have a free account just to test it out but I already have two shops to contend with and hesitate to pay for a third unless sales are likely...anyone? THANKS!
Hi, I haven't tried BearPile yet but I did see a comment on a thread with the title "Marketing"
It is the 3rd comment down. I found it useful....
I hope this link to the thread works? (can I even do this? )

I join bearpile for a while and I think it's worth having your bears there online although you have other shops. People love to have a look at bearpile and I think it's a lovely place for our bears and for all the bearlovers - just try it out!!!!!

THANKS! The reason I am considering bearpile is because the two other shops i have aren't really generating sales...I market and I market and i market some more and still nothing. I do great at shows but those are so few and far between for me in my area.
Anyone else? THANKS!!!
Hi Ren,
As a collector I really like Bearpile.
What appeals most to me, is that you get to see many new bears from different artists. I check it at least a few times every week to see what's new (maybe I shouldn't, because there is always one I would love to adopt ).
Although I have adopted several teddies directly through Bearpile, usually I click on the hyperlink to the website of the artist and contact them myself.
Good luck
Hugs, :hug:
Peter & the bears
I have good luck with Bearpile. At first I used it to guide people to my auctions, although you are not allowed to use the word ebay there. Then I put one for sale there, I sold it quickly, too quickly, I sold it twice, once from my website before I saw it was sold through bearpile. Be aware of that I guess.
Besides selling, Bearpile is a really good way to get your name out there. It is worth the money in advertising. I think it is the first site that comes up when you Google artist bears.

I love Bear Pile and Dave has did some things to improve it last year. The price is certainly right, $9.99 a month to list unlimited bears. I have had many sales through BearPile and have found loyal customers there.

THANKS SO MUCH! It's always great to hear from customers Peter : )
And thanks ladies for the advice! I'm hoping to sell some to make room for my new designs
I like Bearpile too, well worth the money.
OK...now that I'm paying for it I can't get it to work! Why when i go to list a new bear do i get the "please choose to list a bear for the front page or not" notice?
I t was really easy when it was free...terribly discouraged!
