Do you sell your arts and crafts on etsy.com?  |
| |
|  I started an etsy shop a few years ago and did well towards the end of having my store open. It took a long time to get sales, and it was very frustrating trying to promote my work (and find time to make it!). I haven't updated my shop ever since my last sale closed about a year ago. Lately I've been thinking about re-opening. I worry that I'll face the same frustrations, though.

| | A friend of mine actually told me about it because she started selling a LOT of her things on there and did VERY well. She and I create similar pieces, so I thought I'd give it a shot. :-) The sign up process is very similar to ebay.com, but the listings fees are considerably lower. | | | |

| |  Oh I see. I heard about ebay too but never tried online selling before. I really wanted too but I'm afraid to do it. If I may ask what payment processor do you have? Do you include the delivery charge in your prices?

| |  I also sell on Etsy and there are many more shops open on the site than from 2 or 3 years ago. The Etsy name is starting to become known because of media exposure and there a re some months that 5,000+ new shops open on the site.
Promoting is just as time consuming as I guess it was a few years ago (I've been selling for 17 months) and the promotional forums on Etsy move very quickly. The one positive is that people that go to arts & craft fairs also know about Etsy and aren't afraid to buy online any more. Recently I've made several sales online from people who have purchased from me at shows.

| | This is very helpful! It's expensive to do shows here, plus I don't have enough items completed to justify going down that route. I will, however, give etsy another try now that I know that the promotional efforts have increases so dramatically about the site. That's such great news for little people like me trying to "get out there" and make it work! :-) Thank you for sharing your experiences with me! | | | |

| |  I have done it last year also, but I rarely sold much. I don't think I'll be on there but promote my products through other ways that are even free or cheaper. Good luck!!
