<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 321304, member: 5398&quot;]Let me know if this isn&#039;t the correct place to ask for your opinions about selling on Etsy. I looked at your shop and you have beautiful jewelry and photos. I opened an Etsy shop about 3 years ago, but haven&#039;t done anything with it mainly because I&#039;m selling on ebay and I got the impression that if I sold on Etsy (1) I&#039;d have to do a lot of cross-promotion on other sites such as FB, Twitter, etc., (I only cross promote my ebay items on Pinterest), (2) I&#039;d have to do a lot of communicating/negotiating with customers, potential customers, and get involved with the Etsy community, (3) it would take a long time to gain Etsy followers, and (4) it would take a lot longer for things to sell (most of my ebay items sell in 10-day auctions).</p><p><br /></p><p>However, on ebay there&#039;s such a glut of fake-vintage clothing/accessories/jewelry that many of the authentic items don&#039;t get the prices they used to, so I&#039;m wondering if it would be worth giving Etsy a try, considering I don&#039;t want to spend a lot of time communicating with buyers or the Etsy community, and don&#039;t want to have to cross-promote on a lot of other sites. </p><p><br /></p><p>In your experience, do Etsy customers want to negotiate prices and/or ask a lot of questions?&nbsp; Do you feel the need to get involved with the Etsy community?&nbsp; Do you cross promote on FB, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
