I saw the etsy link on many a sewing blog, and I've always wondered... Is it worth it? What are the pluses and minuses, the pros and cons, of using Etsy.
Thanks so much!
I just became aware of another website today called bigcartel.com and that one you can list 5 things for free after that there are monthly subscriptions, but then they don't deduct any for commission. Whereas etsy.com you pay .20 to list the item and then they charge a 3.5% commission on the things you sell. I'm planning on sitting down and figuring out the math to see what the difference would be...those are the two sites I'm aware of so far that market listing handmade goods to sell... P.S. You've got a new follower! and a fellow burdastyle lover...but only the free patterns :) I'd love a follow back over at lisaranae.blogspot.com!
I thought about selling some pictures on etsy but they take part of the money you make I think and you have to pay like per month so I just decided not to.
