Hand made artists

All the time I see many auctions on ebay with hand made stuff, for example: errings, beads (...). Are you useing this type of selling?

[faolan]

No, Ebay charges way too much to be worth trying to sell -- or buy -- through. Etsy's much better, but I just keep a Facebook, since I prefer to show things as examples, like a portfolio, and people can ask for different sizes or colors or whatever.

Yeah, I would definitely say Etsy is better for that stuff. It's only 20 cents to list an item and they take a very small amount from each sale.

Here's my etsy shop in case you're interested. smile

Nooo I don't like ebay because it chops a percentage off my sale. I use storenvy because it's completely free. It's actually a really cool site for alternative and creative sellers.

I use word of mouth and a few local knife shops. My business card is a small chunk of iron from the bloomery furnace. Everybody wants a katana.....

Ebay is very bad for business. People can buy a cheap stainless steel sword for nearly nothing compared to a real one usually set at thousands. And they advertise everyone else's crap right on your page.

Well. Everybody who matters, or something like that... *obligatory "cutting edge of the industry" pun*

Thanks all of you heart
In my country etsy isn't as popular as ebay, so that's why I'm asking. thanks a lot.
so now it's clear, no ebay xd
I will read more about etsy.
In Poland everybody are selling by allegro... but I don't think it's good way to sell handmade jev.

Take care! heart

I haven't had any sales yet, but I've only had my shop up for a few weeks so it's too early to tell in my case. Storenvy allows me to see how many views I've had though. I get on average about 10 every day. But on days when I advertise more, I get more views. 0;
