I used to sell things on Ebay - but, lately, it really stinks - they have lost a LOT of the market - and even when there are watchers/bidders, the fees suck up any profit. If you find an answer, let me know!

Whichever you choose, I know that that you will do very well!

You might want to consider joining up with one of the more active selling teams. Old Farmhouse Gathering comes to mind. http://www.etsy.com/teams/6455/old-farmhouse-gathering<br /><br />I used to sell handmades on eBay but too many policy changes there make it challenging to make any money. Just tossing this out there...Craig's List?<br /><br />A selling blog could be good. We could all help spread the word for you with our blogs.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870875862963051503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-65803360112773863012012-03-16T21:07:16.886-04:002012-03-16T21:07:16.886-04:00Shirlee, Seems everyone likes Etsy.. or why dont&#...Shirlee, Seems everyone likes Etsy.. or why dont' you create a selling blog? good luck!

SO much work pricing and packing - I just take to nursing homes (they give items as gifts at Bingo), Animal Welfare sales, and others. Let them deal with it all!! You have so much on your plate right now I think you should rent a storage locker and take care of it later.marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-2994523823639187612012-03-16T16:51:41.438-04:002012-03-16T16:51:41.438-04:00Hi, I use ETSY, I have had good luck with it, I ha...Hi, I use ETSY, I have had good luck with it, I hated EBAY.
