you should try it on bonanza. it doesnt get the traffic like ebay but its fees are a 1/3 what ebay is and once you list it doesnt expire until you take it down or some one buys. you can also have a "or best offer" on your sales.. on and no listing fees till you sell.. ive had some luck on there and i used to sell on ebay.. i was selling smaller items and ebay was eating up most of my profit so i switched a year ago to bonanza

There are many youth persons here make cards. They're very beautiful and attractive. So if I need cards, I'll buy here. I don't buy on ebay because i must pay transport fees.

I do not use ebay myself much at all. My brothers wife does use it alot though and she has sold cards on ebay in the past and made abit of money from it... but she now doesn't just because she has found other things to occupy her time instead of that. She has to be very careful that she doesn't put too much into the cards though because otherwise you won't make much or if any profit on selling them.

i think with cards people tend to make about 50p a card at the most,but with ebay obviously you have to pay the postage,so i reckon that would reduce profit to about 30p a card,that's if you sell cards for £1 each

It is like anything,if there are loads of people selling the same thing then you have to make them want to buy your product rather than other peoples.Also you have to ensure that it is worth your while doing it,as in work out how much things are going to cost,as well as how to pack the cards so that they do not get damaged in the post,as in jiffy bag if they are raised fronts on them like 3d.Good luck.

i wouldn't sell them on ebay myself,possibly private selling them,i think selling them on ebay is too much hassle for the profit you get

I do not but wanted to add that with any start up business attempt it will take a lot of time and dedication to build up a customer base. However if the craft itself is outstanding it should not be difficult to ascertain.
I would also say to take all the expenses involved and add them all up to see if it will be worth while versus the sale per card. Good luck though as it is the holiday season and I am sure many will be scrounging the web for deals.

i don't actually want to do it,i was just wondering what everyone else thought on the subject,and from the replies i've recieved they think the same as me,that it's not really worth doing

I don't do that, but I've been thinking about it... I don't know if it's worth the hassle, though. I have an Etsy store too, where I could sell cards when/if I get to make any, but sales haven't been going that well, so I'm not sure about it either. Ah, sorry, I'm not being very helpful I'm afraid...

I know someone who makes lots of cards and is always selling them to people that she knows,like myself,family as well as a site that she sells them on.Also she has a few people that take them other places to sell them.I know that she gets all her things to make them very cheap from a site that she belongs to,also that she makes a profit, as she buys the things she needs in bulk,saves loads of money.
