Myself and my daughter both have things listed on Etsy. I make coloring bookbags and have sold about 25 of them. Cost to list is pretty cheap. My DD has sold about $600 worth of crochet baby hats and diapers covers at about $20. per item since Nov, 2010. Theses are both for personal use and photo props. She has also bought crochet patterns for vendors on etsy. I have bought both from Craig's and ebay. each one has a different purpose. Craig's list you can see item if you but locally. Ebay you may get cheaper if you win bid but it is often not returnable and you must pay postage. Etsy seems to monitor vendors closely and item may be more easily returned. If you watch expensive items you will see that they are selling!
