Etsy...make money from home as an aspie artist/crafter

Post Reply New Topic

I put this here because it seems that a large majority of aspies have difficulty getting "real jobs" and love to make things.I think the following web-site seems like a good way to make some extra money.It seems cheaper and easier then ebay,to me and they only charge .20C to list an item and take a small % IF you sell an item.You do have to set up a business Paypal account but that is free to do and then they take their % cut..I think it works out to be about 7% of your over-all profits...better then most consighnment shops.The mostly list home-made items but also have a "vintage" section for older things(like stuff from the 50's to 80's....).I opened a shop but havent loaded it yet.

I'm not trying to advertise myself here but let people know about the site incase they want to sell their own stuff.I did think it would be fun to have an "aspie store" but I dont know how to do that yet.Most of the stuff is to expenssive for me to buy but there are people there who seem to sell items,so it seems worth the price of listing items.Not much to lose by trying.

Thats pretty cool. I'm trying to do freelance computer programming, web design myself.

Etsy is great for crafts.

Ecrater doesn't quite have the following Etsy or Ebay does but it's 100% free.

I've sold a few items there...nice.

If you do an ebay selling check out Auctiva.com...free to use, free templates, photo hosting, and you can write up and save your ads ahead of time and schedule them for whenever is convenient.
