    PAP, I work my prices out by deciding how much I want to pay myself per hour.

    Eg. if you want to make £10 per hour and you can make 4 in an hour, that's £2.50 each, add on the cost of 99p - charge £3.49.

    Love the frame BTW :T

    Hi PaP - sorry if I'm not about much - it's because of the job.
    The frame looks really professional - I wonder if you could 'personalise' it with a 'PaP' logo (bit like an artist's signature) in the corner - you don't need a big logo, and perhaps you could incorporate it on your cards as well?
    'Designs by PaP' - gives it that 'designer look'.
    I think £3.99 would be a very fair price. - :T :T

  • hi rog ~ no problems you are a busy man :)

    ummm i use a stamp on the back of my cards anyway but i am not sure where i can fit it on the frame, maybe on the back board bit maybe? i am not sure but i see what you mean.

    All you need is a little 'PaP'stamp in the bottom left hand corner - but I would keep it on the front - your 'stamp' is perfect for the back.

    Ah yes - paypal and postage. I can't find a way to make it include postage discounts either. So I put this -

    If you are purchasing more than one card, go through Paypal as normal but don't pay immediately, please request an invoice. I offer postal discounts as follows.........

  • Hi PaP.... glad the site's going ok despite the little blip re the postage..... and the frame looks lovely!!! I think £3.99 is more than fair! Looking forward to seeing some more!

  • rog ~ i see what you mean, i shall look into investing in one :)

    raph ~ thanks

    sarah ~ thanks i dont think i would feel right charging £4 though, i think i will charge £3 to start with but if i add more things (ie it cost more to make) this will change :)

    right a little update my £50 topcashback cleared today :j . This will replace the money i made earlier this month of my first batch of sold cards because mum gave me some money to buy a dvd for her off ebay and i brought lots more card making stuff i say loads because i can make approx 50~80 cards with what i brought ~ i spent £10.05 which includes postage so now in my account i have (because paypal take there cut) £48.10 :D

    now i dont know if i should leave it there or take it out to put towards argos, i am tempted to leave it there just to keep all my card stuffs together :rolleyes:

    off work today (i phoned in sick) so i am uploading all the cards i have here to my site and making more, once these are uploaded i can technically 'go live' but if the offer still stand rog please can you double check everything ~ if you get time i know you are busy these days :D

    thought about xmas for mum last night because i never did get her mattress, so i have decided on a dvd player for her room and some movies, i will buy these next payday so the pressure is on to get argos done and dusted this month :rolleyes:

    thats it for today not much more to add ~ take care all pap
