I love to make jewelry. Not just putting beads on a string but spending time to creat a real nice piece. Is there any places to sell jewelry. I don't really want to start my own website and there is so much competition on ebay. I tried to search but found places that sold jewelry making supplies and thats not what i am looking for. Any ideas?

Here is a site that I had checked into a while back. Though I haven't ever posted on there, may be a good place to sell your jewelry at http://www.etsy.com/. This isn't a referral link, but the link to the web site that you may want to look into to sell your jewelry.

Thanks I will check that site out. Ebay is so full of jewelry items that its hard to get a price een a little above the cost.

You can try Craigslist and flea markets

Hello carann! A website would probably be a good idea, but it's definitely not your only option if you don't want to do one. I've seen people selling their handmade jewelry on Craigslist before. I'm not sure if that's working well for them or not, but it's worth a shot. There are other free classified sites, too. I agree that eBay usually has a lot of competition, but I think you should still try it out. Your pieces might be what someone is looking for. One thing that I would definitely recommend would be to try and sell your pieces at flea markets and craft shows. You can usually get booth space for an affordable price. I hope this helps! Good luck with your jewelry!
