Is it worth it selling crafts on Folksy.com?

Just wondering if anyone has experience in selling handmade items on folksy.com. I'm thinking about selling jewellery and/or greetings cards.

Please let me know your opinions and advice.

    Hi, I have been looking at setting up an online shop with either Esty or Folksy. I looked at Esty and got a bit paranoid when they wanted my CC details to even set up a shop. Ddin't feel comfortable doing that so gave up the idea. I created a shop on Folksy and it's only been a few days but will see how it goes.

    I think with any selling website you still have to put in a lot of work promoting yourself to achieve any sales.

    Best of luck with your venture!

    Thanks for letting me know. I think Etsy is too big and I wouldn't go there.

    Good luck with Folksy and please let us know how you're doing!
