Hello, just looking for a general idea as to if my things could sell. As I hobby, I enjoy stitching and have customized a few things for my baby dd. I have sold a few things through my Facebook page but wondering of its worth a go on eBay. Vests/tops are new with an added appliqué. Do people buy things like this over eBay? Confused

I have shops on Etsy and Folksy and these are really cheap to run and easy to maintain.
I sell my handmade stuff on Ebay mainly at christmas as the shops fees/ normal fees are quite high.
Also, I think people shopping on eBay generally want a bargain and you need to price your goods so you are not out of pocket and doing your talent down.
People buying from my Etsy shop are happy to pay the prices I charge but the same thing selling on eBay generates emails like 'cant you do it any cheaper' 'can I have discount'.
I advertised some fabric hearts with names hand embroidered on them and a women emailed me through eBay saying ' I really like these, I would like to purchase ten to use as gift tags, whats the cheapest fabric you can use and can you give me any discount and can you send then second class post to save on postage'. eerrr....no I can't , they are hand embroidered !!
(oops - went off on a rant there !)
