Esty ??

I was hoping to get a little advise from you all regarding Esty.  How many of you sell on Esty and what is your overall experieance?  Would you recommend selling there?  Right now I only sell my art locally but I would love to extend it to online and was thinking that Esty might be a good place for me.  I would love to hear any advise you may have :D

Here's Sandy this morning up in the studio.  She's 7 months now and I'm hoping she stays on the small side.


Thanks for your input!!!

  1. I've been wondering about this, too! I've never sold anything there but think it might be a possibility. Love your mixed media owl in an earlier post. So creative!

  2. Such a cute pup Norma! I have no experience on Etsy except for purchasing. It would be great to have your work up for sale- you do such a great job!

  6. I have a friend who sells stuff on Etsy. From what she told me [and what I understood], you are charged a fee to list per item (hers is $0.40) and the listing is good for a certain amount of time (I think 4 months). You are also charged a certain percentage of the sales you make. Your account is billed monthly for the new listings you add/sales and due by the 15th of the month or something like that. My friend also told me that it's good to have lots of "tags" or "labels" in your descriptions so items will appear in searches. I would personally LOVE it if you opened a store :) I hope that info helps a little.

    Super cute puppy :)

  7. The poster above has a lot of good info. I have to say for me it was an utter fail. But I think you have to be really willing to promote your site and I didn' t do that enough. There is a lot of competition on etsy. So to get noticed, I think you need the tags, a bit of promoting and a good following to start. :)
