[Crw-talk] Selling turnings on etsy.com

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Members,

Hello, I was browsing the internet and looked into etsy.com and wondered 
if anyone else has tried it and what their experience has been.  Quite a 
few turned items are listed, from pens to boxes to bowls.  They take a 
commission of less than 4% when an item sells and charge $0.20 to list 
an item for several months.  I'm not certain how you get paid, I suppose 
through Paypal or the like and if a shipping and insurance fee is added 
to the price of an item when it sells.  It all sounds like a reasonable 
way to cash in on some turnings, but I wonder what it is like in the 
real world.

I now sell many of my turnings at craft shows.

So if anyone has had experience with this or some other internet sales 
system, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks, John
