Selling crafts online

I think that is wonderful that you are going to start selling crafts on etsy.com. It is a site that I have been looking into as well, to sell my beaded earrings. I just need to sit down and actually make some. I'm waiting a bit, until I have the money to buy more beads. I already have the digital camera, so glad you got one as well. As for broadening my horizons, I plan to do more writing this year and start a blog about writing and my writing process and progress.

i use to sell antiques on ebay. had to quit it was too hard for me to get the boxes to the post office. it's fun but can be a hassel to. i always was running into the fruit loops on there. my son said i collected all the loonies. lol

I finally got a digital camera last christmas and it has been a God send. It has helped me keep in connnnntact with family because we can send pictures back an d forth and can also send them to a Walmart anywhere for pick up.
I wish you good luck in your endeavor and I will have to check out your site!

I'm not talented enough but if you email me I'd love to see what you have!!!

I have used Etsy and Ebay for my crafts. Etsy is cheaper to post items than Ebay but I still prefer Ebay.

Congratulations with getting the new camera and good luck with selling your crafts on etsy. My son and daughter-in-law are starting to do well on there. I came across something you might want to check out. The new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act which goes into effect Jan 20 will require every thing to be tested for lead. check it out at this web site

I am thrilled for you that you finally got the digital camera that you have been planning to buy.
Is it not so fun?
I love my digital camera and has helped me get my crafts online also.
I am happy to read that you are planning on getting onto etsy.com.
Nice!
I have been planning on doing the same thing.
I have been using www.freewebs.com because they have widgets that allow me to easily implement PayPal for payments.
I am thinking of going to etsy.com, with my own crafts but also for a friends as well.
Two-in-one sort of a thing is what I have been thinking.
Yes, a new year, new horizons. I am thinking of working more with the public this year.
Dust off some tools hung some years ago and embark on an old trade or two.
Times are getting tough all around.
We must do what we can to stay a float so to speak.
I hope that your new endeavor is a successful one for you.
Best to you for 2009!

Hi rocketj1! I am happy to know that. Good luck in selling your crafts at etsy and hope you will do great. As of now, I am starting a new business in selling and my business partner is now acquiring all the stuffs that we need and will shipped it out to me within two weeks. I am in constant communication with her and I am in charge of the marketing and the procuring the license/permission needed for me to operate. Hoping and praying we will both do great! Good luck!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi ya rocketj1

What sort of crafts are you going to sell? I don't think I would be confident enough with anything that I made to be able to sell anything. Let me know when you do start to sell them so I could have a look and maybe buy something. Will you be shipping to the UK?
