That was a wealth of information. Thank you so much Kima!

Hi. Thanks for the video! I know you mentioned that if you don't have enough of something you can message the buyer. But is there a way to display how many you have in stock so people don't order more than what you have available?

Hello. I'm from America and I would like to start whole selling my items. I have an Etsy shop. Do I also need an official website to begin selling or is my Etsy shop good enough?

[@KIMALONDON]

Hi Jasmine! I don't think it's necessary unless you have a big following on your social media platforms. I closed my website a few months ago as most of my sales are coming from Etsy!

Thank you so much

Why you just don't make many candles and have them already ready for orders? Ive made many candles so if someone orders I can just send it out.

Jar candles yes. Pillar candles are tricky for me as room temp fluctuates and from past experience if they just sit there, they start to frost or discolour as my room can get extremely hot to cold so I'd rather not pre make them because of this.
