What and where

So I do all sorts of crafts and I sell them too. I sell occasionally on Ebay and all the time on Etsy. (my store link is on my profile if anyone is curious). So I was wondering who makes what and who sells it. Also where do you sell. I do craft shows too sometimes.

I do all kinds of crafts. But when it comes to selling my handmade items, I concentrate on making authentic sea glass jewelry. Online, I sell on Etsy. I also currently sell in two gift galleries and do several craft fairs each year. Images of some of my current items in my Etsy shop can be found in my profile.

Awesome, I love sea glass! It is cool how many things can be found that are naturally recycled that can be used in our crafting.

It is pretty cool...when I go to the store for the focal beads in my jewelry, I get to go bare-foot . Of course the downside is there isn't always inventory available...but when there is, the price is right . Being at the beach is always a good day, and when I come home with a piece of jewelry quality sea glass, it's an awesome day! Enjoy your crafting!!

I have not tried Etsy yet bu I may give them a try figuring that I have so many balls right now, I also am planning on making some kids slippers before fall maybe I can sell some through there this fall, its something that doesn't sell to well here in NC, but I am sure more people go to Etsy looking for slippers then people do around here. I normally just sell my hand knit items at craft fairs but they get way to much for a table to even make a profit.

Etsy is good to sell what is left after a show as well.

In that case then, I may give them a try. I am getting tired of having so much stuff around the house, then having to pay a huge fee to sell it at the craft fairs.

I haven't sold anything for a long time, but I used to use local consignment shops and sold quite a bit. I knit mostly and that goes over well in this area where it's cold 8 months out of the year and there's skiing and so on.

We used to have a very nice little consignment shop that sold only hand made crafts but the economy put it and the other two under unfortunately. Though in a way it was good for me as I usually walked out spending what ever I earned...lol

I don't sell or make anything, although I would if I had any talent. I know a couple of people here who sell on etsy, and one person I know sells on ebay. I'm also over on Gather, and there are a lot of people there with etsy stores. They post pictures of their crafts. It's pretty amazing.

I am hoping to make some money so I can get back into doing crafts. I used to paint small birdhouses and turn them into windchimes. I know that I can buy them in bulk from the dollar store, but the smallest amount I can buy is 48. I am planning on selling my craft at Ebay. Does anyone else have any other sites where I can sell without having to pay a fee.
