I finally got some items in my shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=27299 I'll probably stick with selling dice bags in the future, but right now I have some Demented Bunnies that need homes just as weird as they are.  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. If I don't get rid of them soon my Mom might keep them.  e: Isn't there an etsy goon group? How do I join that?

Bad Mother posted:Wheee, thanks! They're dead simple to make, I could work out a rough pattern if you'd like. I can't crochet to save my life.  On the bright side I'll probably break down and buy an octopus from you.

Zantie posted:Wandering Knitter's suggested this to me, and I think it fits here too: You should totally make some PDF patterns and put them up for sale I keep meaning to try out your rose pattern, but there's four birthdays between now and when I can finally knit for myself again. And I'm pretty sure none of the four guys want roses

I need help with my shop. I don't know why, but for some reason when people buy from me through Paypal it's charging them an extra $10 for shipping, even though the real shipping (a whole $2.50) is already included in the price that they're paying. Does anyone know what's going on? I don't want people to think I'm trying to gyp them out of cash.  e: I think my woes may be fixed!

Stabitha posted:I saw a thread about this over in the Coupons forum. For today only, http://1saleaday.com/ is selling a Mini Picture Studio Kit With Background Set, Lighting, Tripod & Carrying Case for $9.99. It looks like something that Etsy users might be interested in for taking pictures of their products for their Etsy shops. It's small as gently caress but luckily I mostly make small things. Ordered!

My cousin Jennie has started a shop that sells polymer clay magnets. She only has a few up right now, but she's given them out as presents before and I can vouch how neat they are! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7594786 All of her sales will go towards the bottomless pits known as her three sons.

omgmypony posted:Does anyone have any suggestions on (free) ways to get your Etsy site some exposure? I do enough sales to cover my costs, but it would be nice to move a few more items per month then I am currently. My cousin spends a lot of her free time promoting her shop by posting in the etsy forums, writing blog posts about what she's working on/cool things she finds on etsy, and making a treasury every day. Etsy's pretty much her main hobby right now since she's a stay-at-home Mom, but I admit she does have a lot more sales than I do.
