Have you considered folksy instead? Etsy has an awful lot of crap that people have bought to resell nowadays.

I've never heard of folksy. Do you use it? I'll have a look 🙂 I joined the etsy sellers page in FB and reading horror stories 🤦‍♀️

I use it to buy stuff. It is what etsy was before they started letting people resell stuff

im on Etsy. I think their is just SO MUCH stuff and it’s impossible to wade through.
i did find that I need to post on instagram and facebook which seemed to drive some traffic, my facebook got banned - no idea why so I need to research how to build itup again. I also have a massive block when it comes to meta - everything seems SO complicated now.
not really helping! But I guess government courses might be useful. Good luck!

Shop has been opened since 12th of January. Getting views and visits and made my first sale this week which is apparently good as it can take 30 - 90 days for the algorithms to kick in apparently. Slow and steady seems to be the way to go 🙂

Well done! I'm aiming to get mine up by mid march. What are you selling? Did you find the set up easy?

Well done! What do you sell?

Thank you. Set up was easy to be fair. I sell my own art work, looking to create other things as well such as mugs and cards. All hand painted - no digital art. What are you looking to sell?
