Hi,

I'm just looking for some advice. I have registered with eBay, Etsy and Folksy. I'm currently undecided about MISI. Are there any other online shops that I could register with? What are your opinions on the above shops? Which one would you rate 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th?

Many thanks,

    It's hard to rate them without knowing what you are intending to sell on there. I assume you are selling stuff you have made if you are interested in etsy and folksy. I think ebay is not always the best market for handmade crafts. I tend to avoid etsy as it's American and I don't want to be posting stuff abroad all the time. I think Folksy is good, but the amount of buyers still seems to be quite small.

    Out of curiosity, why is that?

    Yes, I will eventually be selling handmade items. I suppose I have to find out what works best for me. Thank you both for your help and advice.
