Not on the high street ?

Hi everyone,

I have made a few handmade gifts for friends/family which have gone down fairly well.
They are very eco-friendly and look expensive but are fairly quick to make.
I'm thinking of a change in career in the next year, and was wondering if it was worth trying out selling on not on the high street.
I have worked in a small craft business before a few years ago who sold through them, but I assume a lot has changed since then.

I understand from their website they charge a joining fee, and obviously commission on what you sell.

Does anyone who how much the fee and commission are? (It's not on their website).

I know I can sell through Esty, but I like the fact that not on the high street is more curated and the items I would be making are a much lower price on Etsy (it's not a ground breaking design what I make, but it's very well made and looks good & photographs well). I think it's worth more than the cheaper versions on Etsy, but I don't think it's worth competing there.

I'm hoping this will be a sideline, and not my main income/job. But it's eco-friendly and craft based which are two of my hobbies.
