Your products will be sold via the main gift shop and on corresponding pages throughout the web site. We will assume that you have more than one of each item (unless told otherwise) and keep listing until you wish the item to be removed or changed. You can change / remove items whenever you wish.

If you are selling items that come in different colours / sizes then these are counted as one item i.e. a Teddy Bear available in small, medium or large, in colours red, blue or green etc. will be counted as one item.

If you make more than one type of craft i.e. pottery and knitwear; we advise you to open a dual shop (Pearl / Diamond) to increase your search results.
