Does anyone on /diy/ sell their own stuff? Have any experience with Etsy or similar sites?
I've done a few sales with people I know/people they know, but mostly I end up giving things away to people, which, as a great a way to make friends, with such positive responses I wonder if it wouldn't be better to try and sell some of the stuff I make instead of letting it sit around until someone's birthday or someone has a baby or something. How does it work with shipping? How do you decide prices/shipping fees?
For a little reference I mostly do crochet/knit items, sometimes stuffed animals. Pic is one that was made for a friend's almost 1yr old. Has withstood her and the washer...
