Are handcrafted necklaces made outta beads better items to sell then bracelets on ebay?

I've been noticing there hardly any bids on the bracelet section and there are alot of bids on the necklaces what makes them more poplular?

1. I think it just depends on the style, and the reputation of the seller. Colors are a big draw too. Often times ebay is not the best venue for selling handcrafted items. Many sellers of handmade goods sell on etsy instead.
2. ebay is a very difficult place to sell items. are your items listed a the same price? remember ebay is full of bargain hunters and perhaps people feel they are getting more value for money for a longer necklace than a bracelet.

3. Any time you're selling jewellery, necklaces will sell better than bracelets. It depends on the fashion at the time, but more people wear necklaces than bracelets, partly because I think necklaces are more visible, partly because bracelets are hard to make "one-size-fits-all", and also because in some jobs (if you do a lot of typing, for example), bracelets get in the way. That being said, there are a lot of beadworkers out there on the internet, all trying to sell their goods. Make sure that you've looked at your prices - don't overprice things and make them too expensive, but don't sell things too inexpensively either, or people will think they're cheap. Don't just rely on e-bay to advertise for you.. You've got to bring the people to you, they won't just find their own way, 95% of the time. And make sure that your pictures are the best they can be; they are all that the public has to judge your piece with. A bad picture can make even the BEST necklace, bracelet, or anything else look like a 5-year-old's macaroni and yarn project.
