Thanks, Omfug — I will look into the Etsy promotions. I love selling on Etsy, and need to get in the habit of listing all my vintage items there. I only have about 20 items listed on Etsy currently and I sell about 2 items a month. I just sold a vintage pitcher on Etsy for $400 that had been on ebay for a couple of months as $500 OBO with no offers. That was exciting.
Etsy is better than ebay in terms of fees. Though in total I’ve only sold about 25 items, I’ve never had a return. I feel like buyers are even less likely to return Etsy items than they are to return Ebay items. There’s definitely a buyer-seller trust element on Etsy, maybe like in the older days of ebay. But the Etsy customer service for sellers isn’t that great, if you do need them.
In 2017, I want to build up my Etsy presence. This is silly, but I’m a bit embarrassed to tell people I sell on ebay — it just seems a little cheesy. I am full of pride to be an Etsy seller, though. 🙂 It’s just a little bit cooler. (I know, I’m silly!)
