"Good job, Dave. Sounds like a bit of a learning curve, but like anything else, the longer you do it the easier it becomes. I've done a bit of selling on eBay and it worked for me selling extraneous things. There are pros and cons of using Etsy…"

"With all of my art shows being cancelled, I was encouraged by my niece to sell my wooden jewelry/valet boxes on Etsy. She has been selling soap there for years and has been doing pretty well. I was hesitant as there are a lot of wooden…"

"Hi Jason - that's sad, it sounds like a great arrangement except for the timing. Etsy sends out payments once a week, on Mondays. I suppose the printer wouldn't want to take the chance on an order being cancelled before payment…"

"Shelly, Were you surprised to get this first sale? Do you have any idea on how this customer found you? Was it someone who knew you? Are you marketing off of Etsy?"

My personal experience with Etsy
Hi- I am writing to share with you about what I have been up to with my art business since most of my shows were canceled. I started an etsy shop for the first time and one of the reason I like it is that it is very user friendly and you do not have to put any funds out to start. Also I have a friend who makes beautiful watercolor paintings and crafts but does not like all the computer stuff so I am selling some of her stuff in my store as well. Now instead of sitting in the back of her closet…See More
