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!

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

I decided to sell on Etsy because it is perfect for independent designers/artists since it's strictly handmade, vintage, and supplies. I love the fact that the listings last 4 months, the fees are VERY low, you get your own FREE store (address), and that Etsy gives seller awesome opportunities to be "discovered" by being featured. I used to sell my items at an indie boutique, but they closed down. So, I only sell on Etsy right now, but I would love to sell at boutiques again.

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

I love buying supplies on Etsy! I find the most unique, beautiful, and affordable jewelry pieces here that my nearby craft store can't offer.

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

Right now, one of my favorite items are these cute little pink and gold earrings that have pacifier and antique baby stroller charms. They are very me right now, because I'm currently pregnant with a baby girl...3 more weeks...oy! I really wanted to use them in my baby shower but, the baby is taking everything! :)

4- Any advice for new sellers?

My number one advice to new sellers is to look at their pictures and ask themselves if it would convince them to buy the item according to the pictures, not knowing what it really looks like in person. I really think that is the key to selling your items, to have great pictures that show the item as accurate as possible. I can't stand blurry or far away pictures.... Also, be very, very, very, very PATIENT. I'm still being patient.

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

i choose to sell on etsy because its a little community. even if i meet people at a party or on the street and i find out they sell on etsy too its like an instant bond. haha. i also think etsy is fair to the sellers. they don't overcharge you like some sites do. i don't sell on any other sites, but i do sell things to my friends and friends of friends. i would like to one day have enough items to take to a local craft fair.

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

i'm starting to become addicted to buying handmade/vegan makeup on etsy. its really has been making my skin look ten times better! i really like theallnaturalface and lighthouseminerals. i also like to buy interesting jewelry. things i would have never thought of doing.

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

i really love the knitted bows from YesJess. she can make them in any color you want and they're only 7 dollars!

invest in a fairly decent camera, learn how to use it(especially the macro setting). renew items as often as you can afford, and be patient!

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
Etsy was the fastest way for me to get my items online when I started selling. I also have accounts at Artfire, 1000 Markets, and Silkfair, but I don't list there often. My original intention was to create my own site (I'm also a web designer/developer), but other projects always took precedence. As my partner and I networked with other crafters, we found that there's a huge desire for user-friendly e-commerce on self-hosted sites, and so we've spent the last 18 months developing a product that's scheduled to launch in January. Once that's up and running, I intend to pull all my other online accounts, but I'll always maintain a presence on Etsy.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
Little gifts for myself, like lip balms and soaps from my friend Kate's store, Om Shanti Handcrafts , and my gorgeous business card holder from WoodNYou.

3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?
Om Shanti's Tangerine Vanilla Lip Balm I keep one on my desk and carry one with me everywhere!

4- Any advice for new sellers?
Promote, promote, promote! Etsy is a huge market, and people don't always find you on their own. Tell everyone you know, get out there and advertise (word of mouth or otherwise), and keep at it.

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

I liked how etsy was simple and visually appealing and how the creators seem to be much more in support of the artisans and sellers themselves and for what each of them stand for, rather than overcharging to make more money for themselves.

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

-Vintage sewing patterns!

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

3 fabric gnome buttons from atomicrose for $4.00!

4- Any advice for new sellers?

Be creative with your listings, while at the same time being very detailed about the item you are selling! Vintage items especially have flaws (I call them characteristics), that definitely need to be brought to the potential buyers attention before purchasing, no matter how small!

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

I came across Etsy by accident, actually. I was looking for a vintage dress to purchase, and was directed to the website. I began looking around and discovered what a wonderful community Etsy is, and what unique and fabulous things the sellers on Esty have to offer. And what unique and fabulous talents each seller in each store has here! That is something you can't come across very easily on eBay. I had so many vintage and handmade items of my own I was trying to find homes for, and had been trying to sell them on eBay without much luck. Once I discovered Etsy, a whole new world opened up to me, where I could actually have my own shop and I knew I would be selling to a whole different crowd of people - people who I knew would care a lot more about the items I was selling than those I found on eBay.

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

I LOVE custom designed clothing, especially vintage inspired designs. I have a particular interest in 1930s style clothing, and have been working to add this style of clothing to my wardrobe through custom made things. I love just about anything vintage, and to be able to have someone recreate that look for me I think is amazing.

3-What is your current fave product under 20$?

I love the "baseball hat alternative" that I have listed for $13. It's a brown wool hat that can be worn in so many different way, but I love that it looks like a baseball cap, yet is so feminine. It is so perfect for the diva who wants to wear a baseball hat, but doesn't want to look like "one of the guys." AND I love that it is a handmade piece and was custom designed. It is such a gorgeous fall color, and matches just about anything.

4- Any advice for new sellers?

I think the best advice I can give is to just be you, and let your individuality really shine through. Don't be afraid to try anything! The folks here on Etsy I have found are very friendly and helpful, and we are all very open to new sellers and new stores. There is really no limit to what you can do here with your creativity....

5-And a favorite quote?

I can't remember the exact quote, but here is my version of it:

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
Well I found Etsy through a craft community on Livejournal.com and it seemed like the perfect place to sell. I only sell on Etsy, I've had great luck and met awesome people, I love it!

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I don't get to shop as much as I'd like, but I could spend hours looking through jewelry. I love trims,buttons and deco tape too!

3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?
Something I have in my favorites is this awesome print by the lovely Yaelfran.

4- Any advice for new sellers?
1. Price your items well, sometimes I price things a bit lower than what they're actually worth, it's not all about making money for me, the fact that someone loves what I made and wants to wear it or have it in their home is an amazing feeling, and I know people aren't loaded with dough at this time :)

my biggest quip with new sellers are items priced too high! If you're just starting out you gotta do your time, take it easy, build up your feedback and find out the cheapest way to ship, sometimes shipping charges are my biggest decision in actually purchasing something.

2. Take the best pictures you can, I'm always working on this!

I like to buy supplies on ETSY because I can find so many things that are hard to find in a store pulse I am supporting the little guy instead of a big corporation.
