Seeking thoughts on Etsy

[firecat]

Things I made are overrunning the house and I'm thinking of starting an Etsy store to sell some of them. If you have any thoughts about Etsy either as a seller or as a buyer, I'd like to know them.

Yes, I also find ebay to be a lot of work. And I understand for handmade things it's hard to get a good price there. I've gotten GREAT prices for plus-sized clothing in the past, though.

This tag should give you some pictures of the things I've made:

the first link didn't show me anything, but the second is a cornucopia.

you definitely can sell your work on Etsy, and it's giving me the idea that I might as well.

also, your jewelry photography is great. good color, light, not too much reflection. please describe your setup!

It's weird that the first link didn't show you anything. But you do need to click the individual cut tags to see the photographs.

I photographed the jewelry outside on a sunny day using a white towel as a backdrop. I have a camera with a nice macro feature.

I figured it out - I had to add the ! at the end of the url, and voila, all was revealed.

BTW, nice new icon!
