Posted - Oct 05 2009 : 3:51:42 PM I have been trying to find a way to sell my quilts, and handmade items. I was planning on having a big fall "Quilt Sale" in my yard this fall........long story short.......I am moving off my busy street into a smaller, quieter neighborhood(YAAAAAHHHHHHH)
So what I am wondering is. Is an Etsy store worth the time and money? Are you really selling your items? My items are very reasonably priced. I simply do them for fun and would like to make a little mad money from them.
Any advice?????? Thanks a bunch Arttie |

Posted - Oct 19 2009 : 11:44:16 AM Oh I agree Arttie, Etsy is wonderful. As far as the computer aspect, its pretty simple. Its very guided and there are help articles everywhere. There is also a forum where you can ask questions. I've been on for almost a year and love love love it! We've sold close to 100 items now and my husband even opened his own shop! Good Luck! Robin

Posted - Oct 15 2009 : 12:52:40 PM YES! It is worth it and you will make money! Etsy is getting to be very popular and I love it so much I have 2 little shops! Martha Stewart even has artisans from Esty come on her show and teach! Women just like you and me! Good luck! Let me know if you open a shop!!!!

Posted - Oct 10 2009 : 5:27:41 PM What is the difference between an etsy shop or ebay? I find looking at the etsy places are much nicer. But, I'm new at this stuff. I would love to try my hand at this etsy thing, but it really looks like alot of involvement just with the computer. The computer and I don't get along too good. LOL Marly

Posted - Oct 05 2009 : 4:09:17 PM Arttie, I love etsy , it took me awhile to start seling things but Ive sold 55 items and have been selling a little over a year. You might also want to check into artfire.com that will give you 2 different places to look at selling you can compare prices as far as listings and ect... Anyways I hope that helps. What ever you decide let us know Id love to see them. Blessings,Karen
