I have in the past, but not for quite some time sold on Ebay. I currently sell on Etsy. There is also Artfire, Craigs List, and Ecrater as selling options. If you would not mind sharing your experiences, I would love to know the following things:

Please indicate what kind of items you have, or have not been successful selling. I sell jewelry, and have had 27 sales on Etsy in a little over a year. It has been too long to remember Ebay, but I did not sell handmade items there mostly kids toys, clothes, etc. Thank you in advance for all of you that are willing to share your thoughts and experiences.

I sell handwoven seed bead jewelry. I do have an Etsy shop. It's is slow but I sell enough to keep me working at it. When I first started I sold on Ebay and at that time it was wonderful. Now is a whole different story. If I sell it is almost alway's at my starting bidding price so I don't make a profit. The fee's have climbed tremendously. Each time I list an auction I say that's it no more. And then I try again a few weeks later and am further disappointed. I do have a Zibbet shop, been there One year next month and not a single sale, ever.
So of the three I have tried, Etsy is the only one that keeps me working at this.
I sell on Etsy and Artfire. I've been on Etsy for less than a year and sold 47 things. On Artfire I only listed a handful of items and sold 1 - I'm sure if I put more time into it I would sell more. But I have to say that I haven't done much to promote myself. I started a website and couldn't keep up with it.
I recently came across this site on how to get results selling jewelry - haven't had time to read much but it looks helpful.

So Etsy is the current big winner. Thank you for your input it is much appreciated.
