Yay to fixed phones! Well done!
Hope the pots sell..they deserve to. Lots of people suggesting elsewhere on here about using Facebook to sell as they collect and no issue with postage...worth a thought?

G'day Piq
Horrible to think that you've worked with hellcow allday but hopefully it's not been a bad one.
I too am praying that the Sun shows up soon and the rain b*ggers off down under as I'm sick of my Dad constantly saying that he wants rain and is sick of the sun... Told him I'd organise a few of us to try and magic it down to him lol. Although the sun has now come out after a decent downpour so hopefully it will stay for the weekend.
Can I also request a linky to ebay too.
Good luck with your weekend and that you're not too shattered having to fit your gardening in to tomorrow.

I take it that you could do the pots with different pictures?

Best of luck with the ebaying of your pretty pots! I've just ventured into the world of ebay with a mixed result on my first 4 items (2 pairs of shoes and 2 dresses). One unsold, two sales for £10 and £5 each, and one for a measly 99p.
Don't under-price your postage - I did that with the 99p shoes that sold and have ended up with about 38p after ebay and Paypal fees.:o
If you're using a courier to ensure they arrive in one piece then people will be prepared to pay.
I'm sure they will take off - have you researched similar items for good key words to use? (i.e. plant / flower pot, kitchen garden etc).
Perhaps you could scope out any local craft fairs that are coming up for the summer? Plant stall with some of your fabulous pots intermingled?

G'day Piq
I am a very happy guinea pig indeed as my lovely handmade creation from you has arrived about 10 minutes ago and I couldn't wait to share it with the rest of the piquettes.

I think it's free listing again this weekend, I might stick another type of chicken pot and a gecko pot on. Not that the others have sold, but it won't cost me anything to list. I've cut the postage back to £5 through being able to use the courier company. Unfortunately, I can't take it down anymore as the pots are not paper light and the boxes and bubblewrap cost too. Only time will tell if this is going to work.
Not good news n the courier front I'm afraid, if it was MyHermes that you have started using I've just read on the ebay board that they are putting their prices up from £3 to £4.20 with effect from 18th June https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4648079
Still cheaper than Royal Mail but quite a hike by anyone's book0 -
that pot is gorgeous0
