I wonder where do i sell my craft. Do you know any website which I can sell them. How do I check shipping price? I have not sold anything online, so I do not know the process of selling online. Giving me some idea please.

www.etsy.com is one of the best places for selling crafts online. The other is www.ebay.com
Read their FAQs and check out other people's listings to get a good idea about selling on them. Ebay also has "guides" available to assist sellers.
Since I don't know how large the items you are selling; I don't know if you would be shipping with USPS, UPS, or FedEx; but, each of them have websites where you can get more information about using their services and their rates. (Ebay has tools that help you figure out what the cost of shipping an item is based on weight and then you can add extra for "handling" (packing materials and time) or you can add that amount into the sale price of the item and offer "free shipping".)

You do not need a new account for selling, your current account already shows you have feedback and shows customers you can be trusted. You need a Paypal account.
Here is a link to eBay Seller Central - http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/index.html
From that page you can learn everything you need to know about HOW to sell on eBay. You can even print USPS postage for your item when you sell there. So, take a little time to learn AND save this site to your favorites so you can refer back to it anytime you want to easily.
Creating your first few listings can be time consuming because you are learning at the same time; but, list a couple and sell one or two items; and, once you have the hang of it, you can get them listed even faster and start selling more.

Oh that sounds good. A little out of the ordinary, and a specialist item is always easier to sell. Yes, could sell on ebay, as others below have suggested. But you would probably be better if you made your own web site to showcase your products. Even a free hosted site would do. I think buyers would want to see pictures first.
Much will depend on how many you can make or wish to sell. And how many different size options you would have will determine shipping charges.

You can try ebay,it's one of the most well known site for stuffs like this.All sites have they own shipping methods and the cost depends on with what do you want to deliver your crafts to your costumers.Via post or courier or there are several other methods.Do you want to ship internationally or just in your country because that affects the shipping price too.
You can also look for sites "inside your country" if you don't want to ship outside the borders and you want to deal just with people that speaks your language.

Craiglist works. Also ebay and I think you could sell on Zazzle. Do good research and see what stores are more popular and the site to look trusted. Why trusted? because many people including myself when I'm shopping online, i feel more confident from buying from a site that's known (ebay for example) than buying from a website i never heard of.
Have a nice Lovely Day!
