Etsy was made for all of us who handcraft items and found ebay was just not the right forum. They took the best parts (paypal and privacy) and improved the areas lacking (costs and conversation). I have started several people selling on etsy and I think that they have some of the best tutorials on how to set up the business that are out there anywhere. Couple things to remember - #1 Take good pictures. You can use your phone camera, but do it in natural light (maybe drape over a chair on the porch) and take some close-ups. You can put in 10 pics for same price (I pretty much stay with the standard- decorative, front, back, couple close-ups). #2 Be 'cute' in your description. Not only describe it, but add in something like 'perfect for the little one to take a nap with the puppy under the sunshine'. #3 check others for their pricing. People have no idea what it costs to make a quilt. If you are buying retail, you will never recoup your cost. I buy super sale and online and can keep the material costs for a throw down to under $50 and keep the work to a simple design and sell my laps and throws for around $90 - $100. Your shipping is going to run around $20 (scrunched down in as small a box as you can do) so you need to figure that in also. You may have better luck finding a holiday boutique (look for the special ones and work hard on your display and you will attract folks. If you have bits left over, consider making a bunch of tote bags with quilted fronts (and market them as gift bags) and perhaps quilted stockings, trivets, smaller items to draw folks in. What doesn't sell will still be on Etsy. Hope this helps.
