I had a few items for sale last year but they didn't sell. I think the site was so popular that it was overcrowded. Almost impossible to find anything. If you search quilts, there are around 850 pages. Also they have sellers that are favorites and those are the ones who get featured. You have to be at the site often and have tons of items for sale to be sucesful. On the other hand it is a great place to find unusual gifts, but very often very expensive. As a crafter I know that making this items is very time consuming and sometimes expensive (not always the case with some of the things you see there) and I believe in fair prices for the crafters, but very often I don't see how to justify such a high price tag.

My 2 cents worth,

Maria
