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!

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!

Rhia Upcycled Summer Scarf Necklace from ToilandTrouble.etsy.com

This is a perfect accessory for any summer outfit. This circular (with no ends) scarf is made from upcycled pre-shrunk 100% cotton t-shirts, making it eco-friendly and vegan.

The cotton is a lovely graphite grey. Wrap it once, as a stylish cowl, or let it hang long like a necklace. Either way, you will be sure to get compliments.

It is super lightweight, so it won't overheat you.

The loops and the knot are hand-sewn in place, so you can adjust the length of the loops a bit, but the knot cannot be moved.

Dimensions: approx. 39" in diameter

Price: 11.00

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I was an Etsy buyer long before I was a seller. I found it because a friend of mine opened a shop there and sent me the link, and I fell in love with it right away. I have tried selling other places online, but they haven't worked out for me. I will probably be selling at a music festival in October, but that will be my first offline experience.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I generally buy fun things on Etsy - by which I mean gifts for myself. I also try to buy birthday gifts and holiday gifts for family members.

3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?
I know you asked for one, but I don't think I can pick a single one!

Happy Family has great items under $20, like bags and tee shirts.

Chloe and Boo has some cute accessories made with organza flowers.

Calexandra makes some very unique textile necklaces.

4- Any advice for new sellers?
That's a tough question, I am still a new seller myself! I have found the Storque to be extremely helpful. I would recommend that new sellers read the articles, especially those that talk about tagging, how to write descriptions, and, of course, how to take good pictures. Talking in the forums also helps. Other sellers are happy to do shop critiques, and they can really help improve your shop if you're willing to listen and not get defensive.
