If you love to make and create things, then Etsy is a great place for you to make money online. It’s where plenty of creative folks do business. And, from what I heard from satisfied users, it’s a really great place to buy and sell handmade stuff – from jewellery to paintings.
As a seller, setting up your own Etsy shop is free. However, listing an item (whether it sells or not) costs 20 cents per quantity. So, say even if you come up with 1 listing of a handmade necklace and you have 5 to sell, you will pay $1.00 for that listing. If an item sells, you pay an extra 3.5% of the sale price. Read more about Etsy fees. You will need a valid credit card to sell at Etsy, as that’s the card they will charge for your seller’s fees. I’m not sure if it’s actually possible, but it didn’t say on their site, but I wish there was a way to pay seller’s fees by Paypal instead of a credit card.
Personally, I hate using credit cards for my online transactions. I very rarely use mine. I tend to stick to Paypal. In fact, many sellers have lost my business because they simply refuse to accept Paypal. But, that’s a different blog post altogether for you. 
Anyway, I just thought I’d share with artsy / craftsy folks about a place where you can make money online doing something that you love to do.

Etsy is fantastic. It’s inexspensive, easy to navigate, looks good, has friendly helpful Forums and is LOVED by many.
Sounds wonderful!
Etsy makes it affordable for crafters. I’ve been selling there for over a year now…and I absolutely love it.
