With so much fuss ongoing with Ebay marketplace, many reputable Sellers are taking much needed time to explore other selling opportunities. I personally have not sold on Ebay for some time. I left Ebay a while back, seeking to further my online selling aspirations in other ways.

One of the Ebay selling alternatives is etsy.com. ETSY is designed for crafters and artists, so you need to review their policies carefully prior to listing anything as they only allow certain types of items. Their main site slogan is “Your Place to Buy and Sell All things Handmadeâ„¢.” This is a great place to sell if you fall in this category because it weeds out all those other commercial products and mogul sellers and allows a venue for the Handmade Crafter.

You can sign up and get your store for FREE. We are happy to design an ETSY Store Logo for your new store by clicking HERE. ETSY is very easy to navigate. The ETSY customer service is prompt to respond, and you can easily have your ETSY store setup and running in a matter of minutes.

The cost to list an item is 20¢ and your listing runs for 4 months for the initial 20¢. If your item sells during the 4 month period, there is a 3.5% selling fee. That’s it. How Simple is that? No long, complicated fee schedules and policies, just simple straightforward math.

Get on over to ETSY and get your store set up today. Be sure to let us design your ETSY logo so you have a store “brand.” We can match your current website graphics or create something new and fresh. Happy selling and See You At Etsy!…….by Laura Brown, Penney Layne Graphics
