K, this was in the SELL area and like usual, Etsy makes it quick and easy. I really should learn something from their writing style. 
Anyhoos, looks like vintage stuff needs to be at least 20 years old to qualify. Otherwise what you list has to be handmade, or a supply. You can't sell, for instance, something ten years old, manufactured. And so on.
Hope this helps a little.
Oh, see, there you go. Easy peasy, I told you so.
Have at it and do share the link to your shop so we can find you! I happen to stick mine in my signature here, which is handy.
Have fun!
Ciderantiques and Old Soul BearsHi Shelli, Thank you ! I think we both found the info at the same time. It is a very user friendly site.
I think the last time I looked the category did not exist. I am glad they added vintage. It wasn't around when I signed up a few months ago.

Yeah, that's new. I think people wanted the site to remain pure and true to its original purpose -- selling handmade goods -- but lots of artistic types also are drawn to, and use, vintage items in their work. So rather than just confuse the site I guess they decided to split listings into three broad areas: vintage, supplies, and handmade. I'm telling you a little more than I know on this but I recall reading something to that effect a month or so ago.
So glad you're enjoying it. It's a superb place to browse.
