selling on etsy
 

I was looking for someone who might have some info on selling products on etsy. I am not real familiar but was thinking about selling some quilts on there and wasn't sure if it was a good idea or if it was kind of expensive so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I don't think it is very expensive at all.

I have sold on Etsy for a couple of years. It is not expensive. I think well under a dollar dor 3 months listing. I have not had any problems. I if d it better in all ways than selling on eBay.

Mucky,

Are you actually selling much? I've thought about selling baby quilts and tablerunners.

Yes, that was another question too, do you sell much? Seems like so much competition and I don't want to give my work away so I wasn't sure how that would work.

20-cents for a 3 month listing. Just fyi, i have had 115 item views in the past 30 days .... With one sale. Not a huge venue for sales, but it is inexpensive to do the experiment.

yep I agree with all..it does not cost much but not much is sold...........I have listed 9 items and only sold one in 4 mo

As with selling anything anywhere, you have to market your items in order to sell them. Here's a fee calculator that will help you figure your profit, or use the reverse one to compute what you might want to charge.

It is not hard to sign up to see how to do it, or to buy on there. I know they have a lot of hints to help you advertise your shop. May be worth looking into. I don't know anyone selling on there, but have bought some beautiful fabrics off of there. Go on Etsy and search some things and see how others do it and look on their page for how many feedbacks and sales they have had in the categories that you want to sell in, may help out.

I've been on etsy for a while. It's super simple to list. However, I don't sell much.
