I hope that someone would be so kind and help me with a couple of issues that I have going on.
I'm a complete ignorant when it comes to "setting" anything that would drive more traffic to my eBay and/or Auctiva store. Plus I'm new at all this (auction selling).
So, these are the topics where I'm really confused, they might sound silly, but remember, I have No idea about anything .. Frown
-I can see, somehow, that by "adding a link" I can, somehow again, drive more traffic to my store. I went there, clicked on "Generate a link" and all that "mambo .." came out, it says “copy and paste this code into your webpage. Now my question is: My auctiva counts as my web page? How about my eBay store? if so, where should I add it at and from where?
Plus at the bottom says "Direct Auctiva Link" What it is this?
_I'm very confused about buying shipping insurance from Auctiva. With my first sold item the operation went smooth, but at the end, somehow Smile I ended up with a -1.40 on my Auctiva account, it seems like my buyer purchased the insurance from Auctiva, even though at my shipping set up on eBay or all my items I state that insurance it's already included on the shipping cost. So ended up transferring founds to my account for $14.00 , I don't owe anything now and to cover future transactions, but after reading several postings now I have second thoughts. My question is: how can I prevent this for happening? is it really convenient to purchase insurance from Auctiva? What should I set up my checkout or shipping at Auctiva?
_ I'm trying to set up Store Referral Credit at eBay.. does anybody know how to do it?.Because again all these " links, HTML,URL'S " make me afraid to do warm than good.
_HTML... Confusedwhere usually goes? what is it? because even though I do research and everything else in my power, I end up confused..
I'm stupid...? because I feel that way.
_ please check out my store and ANY suggestions will be welcome!!!

Basically, I need explanations as basic and simple as possible. Any tips to increase traffic or exposure to my store are needed !!!

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello,

You are not stupid because you don't know what HTML is. There are probably more people who do not know what HTML is than there are people who know.

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. The following quote is copy/pasted from the HTMLSource website.

quote:
HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create. It is constantly undergoing revision and evolution to meet the demands and requirements of the growing Internet audience under the direction of the » W3C, the organisation charged with designing and maintaining the language.

The definition of HTML is HyperText Markup Language.

* HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear — i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking on links — there is no set order to do things in.
* Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text (italicised text, for example).
* HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language.



Here are few links to sites that will help to learn HTML:

May I suggest that in the future you create separate posts when you have a number of questions on different subjects. This will make it easier for anyone wanting to help and easier for you to read their responses since you will not be jumping from one subject to another as you scroll down the page.

Hope this helps.

Hi Veronica

Since I don't know how much you know about the store referral credit I have the following links for you to read.

The first explains how the referral credit works:


About the Store Referral Credit


The second gives you examples and will help you to set one:


Promoting your Store on the Web


This is what the URL to your ebay store home page looks like with the referral credit (in white) added:


http:// followed by stores.ebay.com/beaded-designs-by-silver-lion?refid=store


And here is a working link to your ebay store home page with the referral credit:

Any questions or need more help with this please ask.

Hope this helps.

After reading links that you provided to me, I feel more confident and know much more , even about HTML !!! Smile
I was able to set my store referral plus add a link( yes I wrote HTML!!) to my Auctiva store that says " stop in for a visit at..." I feel really proud of myself.
HTML.net was very helpful
The only thing that I'm not sure is about buying Auctiva insurance...
