Wow, a good sale Etsy yesterday! I have done nothing to promote my three e-commerce carts so a sale for $150.00 was a welcome surprise. Now to find my shipping supplies and, thanks to good inventory tracking, pull the necklace out of inventory and ship next week.
My carts cost me far more than I make as I more or less just parked 300 plus items online. Listing online is a lot of work and if I should quit my largest cart, Bonanza, all my listing go to the cyber boneyard.
Time to evaluate which if any carts I should maintain. My basic Ebay cart costs $4.95 a month plus rather high selling fees. On the very plus side, Ebay has great brand recognition and I can list most anything legal.
Etsy is for handcrafted by seller items and the listing fees are reasonable with rather high seller fees. With the exception of Native American crafted jewelry and mineral specimens I could move about another 150 of my handcrafted jewelry to Etsy.
Again, Bonanza has more than 300 listing but cost more than $200.00 a year to maintain and seller fees would be in addition. The window here is closing as my annual fee will be due in a few months.
Just wondering and evaluating and comparing costs.
