    I have bought several items on etsy, but have never sold. For me it works just as well as ebay. I have mostly purchased vintage items, the last thing being an AMAZING vintage patchwork leather coat for my daughter. She absolutely LOVES it!

    I've always wanted to? I want something knit, like a scarf or something. /shrug

    I was thinking about selling some stuff on there. I make pipe cleaner sculptures and thought i could make a few bucks off of them. But I wasn't sure if people would actually buy them.

    Do you think anyone would buy these?

    They are all made out of pipe cleaners and range from 6 to 12 inches.

    I buy and have sold through etsy. I don't have anything in my store right now because I'm totally broke and can't afford the listing fees. LOL!

    How much are the listing fees?
  • lizard053

    $0.20 each item plus a % of the sale, if it sells. I'm literally that broke.

    I LOVE Esty. I bought a lot of my rave-type clothes there. The fur types, although I got most of my set before they became a huge thing and were seen everywhere, hehe. I love custom stuff, mainly, though. I actually have been meaning to go back and look for hair/head wraps.

    I opened a shop a few weeks ago and am selling t-shirt that I am designing and printing. I am hoping to add some other stuff soon. If you want a custom shirt, message me on Etsy and I will gladly work something out with you.

    I create handbeaded gemstone jewelry and Jewish jewelry and have both Etsy and Artfire shops.

    www.lindab142.etsy.com
    www.lindab142.artfire.com

    The pipe cleaners creatures are fun, it depends on what you're asking, plus the listing fees, plus the time it takes you to photograph, list and promote your shop. Do you have a business plan?

    Etsy has listing fees and mentioned above and Artfire (less used) is monthly fees, but no listing fees or renewal costs.
