There are more and more places every day it seems.
These are three well established, well known, highly rated sites.
http://www.artfire.com/
http://bigcartel.com/
http://www.bonanza.com/etsy_alternat...FWIV7AodQBQAXg
Another well known site is
http://www.shopify.com/
Listings of places are here (and there are other lists like these):
http://www.craftbizblog.com/etsy-26-...crafts-online/
http://www.pcworld.com/article/25569...ade_goods.html
Also look within your state for in-state made craft selling sites. New Hampshire, for instance, now has several well promoted sites for our home state artisans and businesses.
Selling online will always take a lot of work and strong marketing in order to make it worthwhile. It's not just sitting around waiting for buyers to 'discover' you, so be prepared for that no matter where you sell.

I just listened to a podcast where the podcaster sold a bunch of fabric on instagram. The podcaster is Allison Rosen, Within a Quarter Inch. She had a whole podcast on how she did it, what hashtags, how to package and ship, how to get paid. I don't see why it couldn't work for finished items. She sold a lot of her fabric.
