The people on my email list emailed me the price they would pay. Also on my Facebook page people respond with what they want to pay. When it gets close to the time of ending the bid, I email or post the high bid on each item without any names of course. If someone wants to outbid the high bidder, they can do that. Since i don’t have a program like Ebay to show the people what the high bid is, i have to manually tell people what the high bid is. I hold the auction for two to three days with a deadline time. Then whoever wins, I email them that they are the winner, get their address and mail out their jewelry. I do charge postage. Then i bill them through PayPal.

My sales have dropped to nothing on Etsy. So i had to try to figure out a way to move some of the items i have not sold. This seems to be working for me. I hope it works for others too. Just put it out there to FB/email lists, and anywhere else you can reach your customers. Put a deadline on it. I usually do two days only. I am selling and creating income. Try it and let us know how it works for you.
