How to Sell Handmade Jewelry on Etsy


Etsy is an online selling center for craftsman and artisans. It is similar to eBay, but does not have auction style listings. Etsy is an online market place that showcases handmade crafts. Every single item on the website has been handcrafted by a talented artisan. Opening an account on Etsy is free, and the listing fees are lower compared to listing fees at eBay.



Step1

Use your camera or a good quality digital camera to take photos of your jewelry. If you don't own a camera, you can sometimes use a flatbed scanner to scan images your jewelry too. You need good photos to represent your jewelry online. Take close up of beads or crystals that are used, any charms that are a part of the jewelry, and the clasp area. Your photo is what will mostly be the key point in selling your jewelry on Etsy.

Step2

Decide on a price that you would like to charge for each piece of jewelry. Take the supplies and accessories that are used into consideration when you are calculating your price.

Step3

Create an account at Etsy.com (see Resources) or log in if you already have an account. If you don't have an account, you will need to set up a shop at Etsy. You will need a credit card to sign up for an account so that you can pay for the listing fees on Etsy. It costs .20 per item to sell at Etsy.
