Selling Crafts Online: which sales platforms do you use?

Oopsadaisy I used to do quite well at craft fairs, village fetes etc but they are non existent now so I turned to online venues. I must admit that visitors to craft fairs often want something for almost nothing (especially at school fetes) even though I try to price things to suit the event and the location.

I don't, however, use social media (Facebook, Instagram etc) and neither do I want to, so I guess I'm missing a possible customer base that way. But both Etsy and Folksy link with social media anyway.

Right now I just want to sell some of the crafted things I've got stored in the loft. We need the space! Perhaps a Clearance Sale would be a start.

Try looking at Mademe, which seems very popular.

I think the problem with selling crafts is to cover the cost of materials and time they tend to be very expensive.

. It is also important to not just take the opinion of friends and family when they rave about how good the items are but to compare them with what is already being sold. Look at comparable items to yours which are selling well then look as to why they sell and yours do not.

I tried to sell on Etsy, but no one was interested either, but MissOops sells quite a few items each week.
Local FaceBook pages maybe? Or rent a stall at various craft fairs (although we found that not only a waste of money but time as well).
The things I made are still in the drawer……all costs remain unrecouped!
