I've been thinking about this too Beverly. I know paypal is best, it makes payment easier for both parties. And thats what most people use. I did read on etsy that you have to have a credit card on file with them before you can sell. But thats true for ebay or anywhere I guess. I've been watching etsy items. Trying to see what sells and what doesn't. My worry is that items don't move fast enough, not selling. I guess partly because etsy is still kinda new. I would hate to go to the trouble if I'm not going to sell anything. So thats my question, is anyone being succesful on etsy? I wish you luck if you decide to take the plunge.
~~Blessings, Mikki

I use paypal and it is the best way to go. If you go to the etsy site and sign up to sell it walks you through the whole process. A few tips for selling
Post at least one new item every day or everyother day
Try to post in the forums on occasion.
Write your store web address on EVERYTHING!

Jewelry, art, baskets, etc.
