AD: Lots of beads for sale in my Etsy and Blujay shops

how do you find Etsy and Blujay compare, or do you use one for other things than the other? I looked at your listings, but I admit that I didn't take the time to compare.

I find that it's a little easier to sell supplies on Etsy. There are a lot of crafters there that are looking for beads and other supplies and will really search to find a great deal. I have found many, many sellers on Etsy (that I've bought from) that have been absolutely fabulous and I love the site. I haven't sold any of my craft supplies on Blujay yet but I figured I would give it a try. Since Blujay is free to use....I thought I'd throw some things on there in hopes to get some more sales.

Thanks Jan. I looked at prices for supplies at Etsy and concluded that, if I include the listing fees, there are very few things that I can sell for that and still make a profit (unless I can talk suppliers into using priority mail flat rate - some do that automatically, some just plain don't -, shipping cost to Hawaii takes your profit margin right out of it. Example: even with USPS priority flat rate the last order I got in was $11.- in postage

Looking at Blujay being free, the question only is whether things actually sell. I think I might just try that out myself in spite of you saying that you didn't sell any of your supplies yet.

Maren, I'm a big fan of Just Beads. I'd give them a try.
