If I also make jewelry, do I just put all of my energy into the Dog Tags during this course? 20:41:10 From Sabrina : Let's say you buy just a few of one item from China and they sell well. When you're out of inventory (and waiting for them to come from China...), what should you do on your own website? Still take orders? Say it's out of stock?
