Etsy.com, a good place to sell your stuff?

First time I’ve heard of it. Looks okay, I guess, but not sure how many people actually know about it.

I’m familiar with etsy.com, but I don’t know how well you could sell your stuff on it. It really depends on a lot of factors, but the fact that most people have never heard of it doesn’t bode well for your chances ;)

Someone else on this site mentioned etsy a week or two back. I had a look at the site, but that was it. It does sound like it might be just the ticket for someone looking to get rid of some stuff. Cost is not too much, but like the other posters, you will find your stuff if no one knows about it. But…I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try, maybe they are the up and coming…..

Good luck.

This is actually a great outlet and well-known by those that shop online for custom made products. This would work well if you have a static site that links to your products on this site. That way etsy.com can worry about the e-commerce side of things like the payment gateway (you wouldn’t have to have your own secure certificate), and they offer more than one type of payment system.

I am doing essentially what Teri suggests. I have stuff listed on etsy but I link to it form my web page.
I never sold anything on etsy though (I only started 3 months ago) so I do not know how good it is to sell stuff.

I love Etsy! I have been selling there for about 6 months and have sold over 100 items it is a huge site, the fees are much better than ebay, .20 a listing with free pictures and I think 5.25% charge when you sell something. 20 cents is worth the risk to try it out.

LastAMericanHippies, what do you sell on Etsy?
