Etsy

I've heard from a reliable source that Etsy can be worth it, its just not really my thing. I'm not a crafty person im interested in learning more about getting paid to write!

I also head about ETSY from a friendwho makes beautiful loop rugs.  She tells me she will have some more posted there this week.  Check them out.  Also have a friend who sells bags there.

ETSY seems to be a reliable marketplace for people who make handcrafted/artisan items.  They also are a good source for craft supplies (usually offered by people who bought all the stuff then didn't do the hobby.) If found some great deals there and also some wonderful XMAS presents.  I would buy or sell on this site.

My neice sells on Etsy. It's been great for her.  She can hardly keep up with her orders, has made some nice "extra money"

I have a store on Etsy, but I only have a few items listed. I recently made my first sale, so hopefully that is a sign of better things coming.

Their fees are pretty bad, but with the way that Ebay has been hurting their sellers lately with fees, Etsy isn't looking too bad any more!

i really like etsy.  They have many cool cute handmade things and most of its one of a kind  i think if u really have a good idea on what ur selling and its stuff people want to buy go for it

Theres just to many items on that website, for you to standout you have to do a lot of marketing and have a very unique product, but it is only 20 cents a listing so you dont have to invest to much money into it.

Does anyone sell on Etsy ?   I am thinking about starting up a store but not sure if it would be worth the time and effort ?

I'm familiar with etsy though I don't have a shop there. I was a member of a craft coop business for many years and I can say etsy looks relatively low capital/ low risk. Don't expect too much in sales unless you are good at promoting your products and then realize that in a recession a lot of people don't have the discretionary income to spend. Also it is true that advertising is quite important. Good luck.

 :dontknow  I set up a store at Etsy, but never sold anything, so for me it didn't work, and I stayed with it for months.

I know a few people that do, they seem to like it.

I sell handmade crochet hats on Etsy. I love Etsy! I love shopping on Etsy too I got all of art prints for my little girl's room from Etsy. It's really nice to support indie artists. Also I like to shop for vintage stuff there

Their selling fees are very cheap (compare to ebay) so it's definitely worth it.

I have a shop on Etsy, but haven't sold anything yet.  I do love the site, though.  I would say to give it a try since the fees aren't too bad.
