1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I originally sold my art through ebay. However, ebay was becoming less and less seller friendly so I decided to try etsy. Etsy's selling fees were lower and I liked the 4 month listing time.



2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
Many of my artist friends are active on Flickr and etsy, so I tend to buy art from them.



3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
I like anything
Jelene Morris creates. She has a lot of items under $20.



4- Any advice for new sellers?
Communicate and ship quickly. If possible, list items frequently and at different times throughout the day.



5-And a favorite quote?
Taken from a co-worker - "I have
this gut feeling in my head"

Green, Yellow, and Orange Melamine Melmac Flower Custard Cups from jutenhoops.etsy.com


Set of seven custard cups by Shin-san Melamine Ware.
3.5" across. Two green, one yellow, and four orange. All of the cups are white on the inside.
Price: 10.00



1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I was selling -- and continue to sell a few things -- on eBay, but I find that Etsy is a much warmer, more seller-friendly environment. The fees are lower, and the look and feel of the site is very user friendly.



2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I haven't made many purchases but I love looking at plastic rings and unique screenprinted t-shirts and tote bags.



3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
love bread and butter so anything with that!



4- Any advice for new sellers?
I still feel like a new seller, myself, but I think that having good photographs is essential. My photography skills are lacking, but some of the sellers at Etsy could and should do photographs for catalogs and magazines, in my opinion -- they are that good.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I sell only on Etsy though I'm featured on another website. I've tried other online markets but decided to focus only on Etsy because I love it's overall look and ease of operation. (if I can set up a shop anyone can!) Also the artisans are incredible!


2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
So far I've bought art and photography for gifts. It's one of the best places to find a gift for just about anyone.


3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
Art prints from
mincingmockingbird. Such great birdies!


4- Any advice for new sellers?
I feel I'm still sort of a new seller. I'd have to say though, take your time, explore all the features Etsy offers to help you promote your product. It's a great community of artists.

Seaside retreat, birdhouse fairy garden cottage, beach theme centerpiece from CLOUDFAIRY


Great for a beach party centerpiece or to use in your fairy garden scene.
Not intended for use as a birdfeeder.
Stands 10 inches tall, 12 inches long and 7 inches wide.
Price: 12.00


1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
Lets see, I chose to sell on Etsy because I loved the artistic and creative products listed and the community is handmade friendly. I tried Ebay for a year and sales were slow. I have been on Etsy for less than 3 months and my inventory of fairy items is almost depleted (down to 5 from 21!).I also did my first craft fair this Spring (a lot of set up and tear down work!)I prefer online sales because I can work in my jammies at the computer or in my craft room.


2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I have been buying supplies mostly on Etsy so far, I will be buying gifts in the near future but have told so many people about the site that I am sure to have generated sales for others.


3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
I love the needlefelted items I see listed on Etsy, like the cute
Young Owlbert Einstein in woolcrazy's shop.


4- Any advice for new sellers?
I am a new seller myself so advice to others is from a newbie perspective, I feel very anxious when I do not get feedback from a buyer after a sale. I tend to take it personally. It is difficult to resist the temptation to repeatedly ask them to leave feedback. My advice is to just relax and figure, it is human nature to complain and if I hear nothing back from a buyer, it must mean they loved it!
