I believe she means: I find it better in all ways than selling on eBay.

I've had a small shop on Etsy for a few months...kind of testing the waters after being on eBay. I definitely think that Etsy is more economical. I've had a few sales, and if I really invested more time into the marketing end, I think it would be a really good way for extra sales. I'm just putting more energy into our storefront and website than Etsy at the moment, but any place that our shop name is out there is a good thing.

I was going to play and actually did set up a etsy acct, but then I realized I would have to pay taxes on this, correct me if I am wrong, I feel we pay enough in taxes in Illinois and maybe paying more. . So I can sell on ebay as is without the tax headache, however I am too lazy to do that due to lack of interest. I think it would be fun to do though.

Huh? How can you sell on one and not pay taxes and sell on the other one and have to pay taxes? What taxes are you talking about?

I've thought about etsy, but when I looked there were over 4,000 listings for quilts

Iwas wondering if the people who have been on etsy but aren't selling much are selling premade items like quilts, tablerunners, etc. or fabric and new patterns. I was considering it for selling patterns which are new and unused and some lqs fabric so I was wondering if these items sell there very well. Thanks

I got the impression that everything for sale was to be homemade. I haven't been on for awhile did it change?

Homemade, supplies, or vintage.

Supplies are allowed. I get some of my fabric on etsy and some supplies like zippers and purse parts and get some good deals. I also use the link to Facebook and that generates orders for me.

I have been on Etsy for a long time-my sales are very small but it is not that expensive to be on there.I keep plugging along hoping to sell a few things.
