sell or buy handcrafted items

Options
Hi
I posted about this on the up your income forum, for anyone interested in selling their wares. I am not actually connected to this site, I found it accidentally and appears it's very new.

A craft store have set up a craft market type site for auctions and you can have a store. Best of all though is that it is completely FREE! No fees whatsoever, so if you don't sell anything, you've lost nothing. Obviously being new traffic to the site will take some time, but if you invite your own friends, family, colleagues etc.
It's mostly cards and soap at the moment with a few jewellery sellers, knitting/sewing etc too, but any crafts can be sold.

Apart from that, if anyone is looking for a special handcrafted card or handcrafted gift it might be worth a look, to save trawling ebay and the like.
I do have a store on there now, busy adding items myself until my own site is redesigned.. just trying to generate some traffic! :rotfl:

If anyone wants to take a look whether to buy or sell.. ...

    Just found it.. why haven't I heard of this one before, looks more like my thing!
    Will look into it a bit more. Depends on costs etc, but definitely looks interesting.
  • From what I can see its free to list and they only charge 3% commission on sales also, which is cheaper than ebay and etsy.

    I`m thinking of selling on there it seems to be really good!
