I have noticed a few of you have mentioned listing on Etsy.  I guess I've been out of the loop too long.  I did look at the site.  It looks interesting.  My questions:  Have you found it to be a good selling place?  Would you recommend it?

I've sold several things on Etsy.com.  My lower price items seem to sell pretty well it's when I get in over the $100 range that I have been "slow" to sell.  I'm going to try to put a lot more in my shop this year though as even though I haven't sold much it is a good marketing tool.  Think of it, for only .20 a listing, literally thousands of people get to see your bear/buddy/critter for four months (that's when the listing expires) or until someone buys it.  I don't know where you could advertise cheaper than that!  And to open a shop, it's completely free.  I love Etsy (but like I said, I definitely need more in my store!).

Hugs,

I love Etsy too, I've only ever sold one bear on it - but as Lisa said, it's a great marketing tool too, I would recommend to give it a go!
