An entire shop of Disney ornaments — not copyright violation (check this picture for the Disney mark: http://ny-image3.etsy.com//il_fullxfull.101288331.jpg ), just blatant, blatant reselling: http://www.etsy.com/shop/FiveKidsCreations

I’ve been selling on eBay for a few years, and like many, the latest round of new restrictions seriously turned me off. I came to Etsy hoping to eventually move a good share of my traffic away from eBay.

Well … I’ve had 21 sales in about 2 months, so I can’t gripe too much, but in the same time frame I’ve sold literally hundreds on eBay. A few of my ornaments sell for barely enough to cover the fees, but on the other hand, I recently sold one for $68 that cost me about a buck to make.

A lot of it is just good luck I’m sure, but I have managed to keep stellar feedback by writing to EVERY buyer as soon as they pay, shipping the next business day (which can be a real headache), and going the extra mile with packaging. I’m not crazy about the feedback policy, and the fact that we can no longer offer insurance as an extra charge. But as long as that’s where the buyers are, I’ll probably keep selling there.
