How To Sell Successfully On Etsy

30 million users can€t be wrong!

That€s the number of buyers and creative businesses comprising the Etsy community. Etsy is a place where you can set up your shop for free and sell your items cheaply.

Most people have a dream to run their own business someday. They want to escape the daily grind of a 9 to 5 job and chase their life-long passion: selling products they love to sell, making a profit the old fashioned way, and having fun doing it.

Etsy gives you a place to make your dream a reality€"and you can do it quickly and in a rational, cost-effective way, without risking thousands of dollars in startup capital and expenses. To list a product on Etsy, you pay only $ 0.20 USD and then a 3.5% transaction fee if / when it sells. Each time you list an item in your store, Etsy presents you with a summary of the fees associated with the listing. If you approve the charges, you are given a four-month time period to sell it and then charged the transaction fee only if it sells. That makes starting a business fun and easy€"the way it should be.
