@Cherry60 yes it is definitely. People complain about Etsy, but the fees are very reasonable and the customer base is huge. To have access to all those potential customers is amazing, people always say 'oh they are a rip off im getting my own website'. But to drive that amount of traffic to a website is very very expensive.
Also the way people shop on etsy is more likely to result in a sale, people can put items from different shops into their basket and save items and on average spend more time on the site. If they do find your website the slightest thing can put them off and send them elsewhere.
Etsy also makes it incredibly easy to set up a shop, if you sell to USA they collect the sales tax and sort it out for you, the finance area is very easy to keep track of how much money you are making. I copy and paste the relevant info directly on to a spreadsheet so for self assessment it is all very straightforward.
