1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
Etsy has the best traffic and fees.... hands down! It's hard to make a living (full time) just selling local.... It's an easy way to make my items available to the world and not just the neighbors! I tried other places and I always do best here.... so if it ain't broke... don't fix it!

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I love to buy one of a kind items for my kids... They're friends always ask... Where did you get that!!!??? Supplies would be second!

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
Anything in alamodestuff ~ she's so chic!

4- Any advice for new sellers?
Great GREAT photos... personality and BE NICE!

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I had Etsy in the back of my mind for a few years before I started selling online...when I was ready to make the move, it was the obvious choice. And I'm so happy that I made the jump! I still sell my work in person, at a few shows and wholesale to B&M boutiques and museum shops.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I love buying gifts on Etsy--they are always so unique and make a big impression on the recipient. In fact, this year I've bought most of my Christmas gifts here and I can't wait to hear all the "oohs" and "ahs" on Christmas morning!

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
Right now I'm adoring these recycled cufflinks from 2ReVert and just wishing I knew a guy who actually dresses up!

4- Any advice for new sellers?
Never stop trying to improve. I look back on my pictures and descriptions from when I started selling on Etsy and wonder why anyone even wanted to buy from me! You can always make things better so if you aren't selling, take a step back--redo your photos, evaluate your tags & sign up for Google Analytics. And listen to other people's advice! Sometimes they really do know what they are talking about and can even suggest new product ideas that you would never have dreamed of.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?

I left eBay where I had been selling vintage costume jewelry since 1999. I found etsy in 1996 and decided to open my shop Emmas Gems. After a awhile I decided to open this shop to list my handmade jewelry. I enjoy making jewelry and I am always changing my focus! I have a short attention span and like to try lots of new things.I have another shop on etsy where I list my handmade jewelry supplies Sweet Vintage Emma. I also have a new shop on Artfire under my emmasgems ID. I just started over there but thought I'd give it a try.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)

Well, I buy a lot of supplies for a few of my shops. I think I spend most of what I make buying more supplies on etsy! I always need something! I have bought many gifts for my family too so it's a tie!

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?

Gorgeous magnets from rafya.
This is just one of many!

4- Any advice for new sellers?

To list new items as often as possible to keep your shop at the top of searches. Always work on making your shop the best it can be with good photos, etc. If you can afford to: renew once a day when you don't have new products to list. Pay attention to your shop. Answer questions quickly! I could go on all day!

Bowling Is Groovy vintage metal pinback button from fifthquadrant.etsy.com

Cool metal pin measures 1 3/8” diameter. In excellent condition. This came from a “house frozen in time” estate sale so I’m certain it’s authentic 1960s to 1970s. Proof that hippies bowl.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?

I currently do not sell anywhere else. I first heard about etsy on Martha Stewart's television show and opened an account so I could by some artwork. When I found out you can also sell vintage on etsy, that seemed like a good fit since I am quite a collector of (too) many things. I also intended to sell some of my original artwork on etsy, but I haven't gotten very much of that listed.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)

My favorite thing to buy is small format size original artwork, especially paintings.

3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?

I have a painting I love by timssally that was one of the first things I bought on etsy and I'm always checking out her shop to see what new artwork she's listed. I currently have my eye on this.

4- Any advice for new sellers?

Be patient (it took close to a year before I started seeing steady sales) and try to list (something every day to build up your inventory and hopefully keep being seen. Use the forums...there is so much great information available there. Keep learning how to take better photographs. Communicate with your customers, and don't take things personally if something goes awry.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I started selling on Etsy because I am a jewelry and accessories designer (http://www.maryjanefrances.etsy.com) and loved the handmade market Etsy opened up. After selling handmade for a while, I found Etsy's vintage section... HEAVEN! Completely un-picked over like Ebay, and more competitively priced! And as an avid vintage lover of 60's and 70's style, I go to thrift shops and estate sales often, and find treasures that I simply can not walk away from, but don't need/ don't fit/ can't afford/ etc. Selling vintage on Etsy gives me a way to satisfy my "Vintage Jones" without the guilt or clutter that collecting 'too' many treasures can create!

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
Vintage cocktail rings. Big huge 'door knockers'. An obsession since childhood, I love rings with real stones and sterling or gold, but to buy them new, the size I like, is out of my price range. The quality of vintage jewelry is fabulous, and I tend to like the styling of vintage rings from the 50's -70's more then super sleek modern rings~

3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?
Right now I'm drooling over this show stopper ring from peppertree!

4- Any advice for new sellers?
It takes a while to get into the swing of things, selling on Etsy is different then selling elsewhere, don't get discouraged and keep listing!
