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 found etsy through a friend who purchased a lot of items on here. When I found it, I absolutely fell in love with it. It brings so many customers to your business who might not have found it on just a .com site. I do sell my products at art shows and festivals, but etsy is the only website.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.) I love to buy jewelry. You can get the most fabulous original pieces from truly gifted artists. I'm the type of girl that loves to have something that no one else has! Etsy is the perfect gift site as well.

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$? On etsy? Not sure I quite understand this question. I love the scrabble tile pendants that are on here. They are sold by several different vendors.

4- Any advice for new sellers? Do not be discouraged if you do not make a sale right away. Be persistant and definitely take advantage of the showcase options etsy offers. They are a great way to attract buyers!

5-And a favorite quote? Technology owes ecology an apology.

These coasters are handcrafted from top-quality tile and have an artist rendering of Rainbow Row in Charleston, South Carolina. They are sealed with a waterproof sealant. Each coaster is backed with a non-skid cork backing to protect surfaces from damage. They come in sets of four and measure approximately 4” x 4”.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I chose Etsy because it is THE PLACE to sell handmade items and it is so simple to use.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I love to buy gifts as well as supplies through Etsy. I like to purchase gifts that are handmade because I love handmade items--not to mention the fact that it promotes other sellers' shops while also promoting Etsy.

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

Wow, there are so many that it's extremely hard to choose. I like the jewelry and personalized items in the handmade section and I like the crafting supplies in the supplies section.

4- Any advice for new sellers?

Yes, just make a couple of items and go ahead and jump in with both feet. I think some new sellers are afraid of the "setup" process, but it really is simple. There is so much information available for new sellers (Etsy handbook, etc.). If you can follow directions, you can set up a shop!

I don't know who said this, but it's so appropriate: "Get Started, Keep Going."

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I chose Etsy because it is a wobnderful site and I feel completely at home here!
I'm going to sell on a new norwegian site too. It's opening next monday.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I love to buy handmade cards, plush toys and jewelry, and soap and, almost anything, I guess... But I stay away from heavy and breakable items, since I live in Norway.

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
It must be these fabolous buttons from artmind.

4- Any advice for new sellers?
Keep your shop "clean". Don't put all different sorts of items in it togheter. Try to keep one style. Take great photos. (Heard that one before?) Be friendly and give your customers an even better service than they expect. Always think quality! Visit the Virtual Labs.

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?
Why Etsy? I’ve been an observer most of the time, even if I craft since I was a child, but as English is not my mother tongue I was a little scared at first…I always saw it as something BIG and it is also the main reason I decided to be in. I also love the layout and the sense of community between the artists. Teams are a great thing.
Yes I sell in other venues. As I live in Europe is easier for somebody who lives in Germany ie. to buy something in the UE and in euros.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I have bought both and for sure if I had more budget I would buy more because I find all sort of original well made products for an affordable price! In the case of supplies is such a comfortable way to choose! And let’s say that for being a seller is easier to search and find exactly what you want.

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

This beautiful Florencia textil ring of Mafemaria is my favorite one: delicate, personalized, well presented and for a good price!

4- Any advice for new sellers?
There are so many things to say in order to help new sellers!
a) Take good PHOTOS: never with flash, try to catch up good light… if not, build a light box see the video in this post in my blog, then edit them (yes, always!) lighten up, net it up, cut it up, etc. and choose a good one to be the main one, it’s important for treasuries and future front pages!
b) Make good DESCRIPTIONS: I have decided to make all of them in English, French and Spanish, those are the languages I speak and then, why not to take advantage of this seeing Etsy so international?
c) TAGS: This was an enormous task to learn for me, and it is an everyday lesson yet… you never know which is the best one, but try…change them if you see they are not ok (they are importante for people who search on Google) see more info in these posts. 1 & 2

d) Be clear in your policies and ALWAYS answer (as soon as you can) to people who contact you even if they don’t seem to buy something from you (they can be good clients and referrals in the future)
e) Participate in, at least, one TEAM (if you sell on Etsy) they can help you a lot, to figure out some things but also to promote your work!

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

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
Soap! I love handmade soap. I could look at soaps on Etsy all day.
