I did understand that you have to pay etsy for every listed item, even if it's not sold yet. Is that true?
My problem with etsy is that it's is hard to search for something and in special the european sellers...
For now I only sell my homemade items on my blog.
www.maksitaksi.blogspot.nl
Buyers can leave me a message there and then I contact them. They can chose there one colours and fabrics, I make everything they want for each buyer.
Ebay is not an option for me. They have a high fee but my biggest concern is that you have to make a selleraccount for every single country you want to sell on... For example, if I want to sell in the Netherlands, in the UK and in Italy I have make three accounts ebay.nl, on ebay.de and on ebay.it. I don't want that.
So thats why I consider to open a Etsy shop, if I have figured out how things work on Etsy.
