I like the idea of buying and of course selling, handmade items and have been hearing some favourable reports about Etsy just recently, which is advertised as "Your place to buy and sell all things handmade", so thought I would give it a try.Abstracts of Nature Etsy store There many avenues and potential marketing opportunities to explore online and this is just another one. I do believe in trying things out so I have opened a small store and included some of my prints and greeting cards to see what happens. I will add more items over the coming weeks as and when time is available. It seems that adding items individually on Etsy is better than uploading a batch at a time which is actually easier for me to manage.

It seems odd that everything must be listed in US Dollars regardless of the country of origin and with the current exchange rates this is probably not ideal but we'll see.

If you visit the store, please leave me any feedback here.

Update: I have since closed this store - I found, disappointingly, that many people seem happy to sell their prints at such low cost that not only can it not be sustainable but also makes the quality of the paper and ink used questionable.
