Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Lush/Lot sales on eBay or Mercari. It is not worth selling individually due to shipping costs. Best used as 'craft supplies' or part of a 'jewelry jar' for other flippers.
Selling Tips
Do not list this as a standalone item. Add it to a 'Broken or Incomplete Jewelry' lot or a 'Gold Tone Craft Lot.' Use keywords like 'mismatched,' 'replacement earring,' or 'repurposing.'
