Business

I want to participate in bazaars and whatnot, but I can't figure out a clean way to display my ear cuffs. I want them to be against a plain background since they're very busy and it's hard to see them clearly when I hang them on a jewelry tree. It's hard if they're just put on...

So I'm starting a shop on etsy and I'm stuck on a name. I'm planning on selling handmade knit and crocheted items, but I'd like to expand to more crafts later on. I want a name that's cute and catchy, all ideas are appreciated! Thanks!

Okay, so, as a lot of you know I use Etsy currently to sell my soaps and stuff. My usual bill to Etsy every month is about $3.00 and I tend to not get much business... or at least as much as I'd expect to get on Etsy. I'm looking in to starting a shop on CraftCafe, but I don't...

Hey Friends! I've just opened my new shop over on CraftCafe.co. With tons of new items (over 100)! I need some people to look through my shop though and give me feedback. Such as quality pictures, over all site, is it easy to navigate, do the descriptions describe the items...

I want to sell polymer clay charms to help pay for college, but... I've seen some shops on blogging sites like tumblr, etc. or even facebook...but how legal are they? Would I need a business license? I'm in the United States. Or will it be safer to just use etsy?

anyone know of any online shops for UK sellers? i had an etsy shop but found that no one was buying and i currently have a folksy shop but both are expensive to run if no one buys anything. Any ideas???

I keep seeing this site advertized on Facebook. Has anyone tried it? I was thinking of joining but wanted to see if it's worth signing up to first. I have been looking for a good Etsy alternative that doesn't charge so much.

Pamela introduced me to Tophatter a couple weeks ago, and I am in love with the place now! It's been a great outlet for me to sell my discontinued glycerin soaps and jewelry. I think I've made about $40 or so there since I started listing auctions. It's been a nice boost!...

I listed some of the items I have made on Etsy, they are due to expire on 7th January. I'm undecided whether to renew them or leave them be. I have only had 1 sale since I opened my Etsy (and folksy) store. My dilema: if I keep re-listing items and adding more I won't be...

How can I tell if a buyer is genuine? I just got my first order and the shipping address is weird, and the etsy account was made the day of the purchase. I'm a bit hesitant to send it out because I can't tell if it's genuine. I have received payment for the item. Google Maps...

So I was updating my Etsy profile and noticed my shop name was AnimalNikki not Nikki'sKnacks as I thought so I went to change it and it was taken After trying a few different variations I decided on a different name: HandmadeZombies (inspired by one of my fave crafters on...

I just went to my first craft show, and it was a disasster, I didn't sell anything. So, I came home and started doing research on how I can do better next time. One common thing most articles had was that I need a show stopping product to get the "browsers" attention so that...
