Ten years ago if you wanted to sell your craft you had to go to fairs or markets but now with the internet the world is your oyster. There are now many websites to sell craft items on. Some of them are for free and other you need to pay a small fee. This is a great alternative to having your own website especially if you have no knowledge on how to set a website up. Here is a review of some of the more popular ones.
Americas Quickest Growing Online Shop
One of the largest websites to sell craft items on in America would have to be Etsy. Etsy is a great place to list your handmade products. You can create your own shop saving you time and money creating your own website. The fees are very reasonable at .20 cents per listed item and they also take a small percentage of the sale. In your shop you have PayPal facilities or if you prefer to take your own transactions you can do that as well. You also have your own url. The only downside of the site is that you do not know where your customers are coming from, whether it is some campaign you have run or just by searching They also have a great forum where marketing and business ideas are discussed.
Your Free Classifies
US Free Adds have been around since 1999.They have a lot of traffic going to their site and if you have your own website they are great to get referrals to. The cost is for a year with their GOLD membership and you can have a picture and PayPal buy-now button + a link to your site which is extremely reasonable. They do have FREE ads as well, but without the picture, etc.
Your Earth Friendly Shop
At Hyena Cart you need to pay a .00 setup fee and then .00 per month. You can directly upload your for picture .50 per month or they will take care of formatting pictures if you send them via email rather than direct upload. The site has the option of buy now, auction lottery or hold and you have your own web url. It has a good amount of traffic going to the site.
So there you have it. Three great websites to sell craft items on. But there are more out there so make sure you do your research or test a few to see which suits your product the best.

QUESTION:
I have a lot of gold jewellery and am located in Melbourne, Australia. Where is the best place to sell it?
I've had 18ct Gold neck chains and rings for many years but I am short on cash and want to sell them. I want to know if there is anywhere decent in Melbourne I can sell them for a good price. I've been to the gold kiosks in the shopping centres but they only offer around 40% of the current market value, they are a huge rip off. Is there any alternatives to this?-
ANSWER:
haha don't bother with cash converters or the shop kiosks, unless you like getting ripped off.
I shopped around for hours online trying to find the highest bidder for my gold. Half these dodgy companies wouldn't even tell me what price i'd receive for my gold.
I ended up going with www.cashforoldgold.com.auNoone can beat 90% daily spot price and they have their prices advertised on the website.

QUESTION:
where can I sell gold jewellery in melbourne?-
ANSWER:
Cash converter stores all over melbourne buy gold and give you cash. If you want you may also place an ad in the trading post newspaper, a paper that comes out once a week it was free to place an ad and you only pay if you sell your product, call them to verify this as it may have change, or even if you look in the trading post or local papers they put ads eg we buy gold or jewelery. Ohhh and you may try ebay on the internet as well put it up for auction as see how much you can get.!!!!
good luck

QUESTION:
where can i sell my gold in melbourne?
as in gold jewelry and such-
ANSWER:
I did this myself but in NSW. I found your cash exchange places gave better cash, however, if you go to a jewellers and get it melt down and used to create a new item for yourself, it would be cheaper. But jewellers aren't more generous in exchange for cash.

QUESTION:
Are North Melbourne trying to sell a home game to the Eagles ?
I heard Brayshaw talk about it last night, selling a home game and playing it at Subiaco v the WCE, go figure, I know they get top $$ but I guess it just goes to prove how far down the gurgler the Kangs really are, I reckon they should have taken the Gold Coast offer when it was available.
30,000 members aint gonna get you far-
ANSWER:
They are struggling off the field big time, it doesn't help when their 30,000 members don't attend games and they are left with a bill, i think they have a bit of the Hawthorns about them, you know, wealthy supporters gertting their dogs, cats and birds memberships.

QUESTION:
Macaw breeders near or inside Melbourne, Australia?
So do you know any people that breed and sell Macaws? I am mainly thinking of the Blue and Golds. So do you know any? I would really prefer if they had an online website or something. It doesn't matter if its a pet shop as long as they sell them. Also if you can can you please give me website links, links to advertisement (if they have any) and the price of the birds and what birds they sell. Just list all birds not just Macaws. Thanks
-
ANSWER:
The saddest part is, you're from Australia and know darn well what a Cockatoo is. Do you also know that people here in the US sell those birds for thousands of dollars, while most people in your country think of them as pests., living freely in the wild.The irony in you asking about raising a different species of exotic bird from a different continent when you know and have seen for yourself that they should be flying free, hasn't escaped me.

ANSWER:
This is a monumental task for anyone to, properly, edit and, to be sure your teacher doesn't have a sore hand from red-inking, you need to, carefully, re-read to correct spelling and grammatical errors (a dictionary should be always near you) and insert the proper punctuation marks.
The second sentence doesn't require the words: out and some as one assumes she had to go out to get to the club and lunch, always, means some (or there isn't any lunch...). Read this aloud to determine whether, or not, it flows freely and after you've done this, have a friend read it to you. You need to use some more connective clauses, or words -this should not be a collection of, related by subject, sentences. Try to avoid repetition - the word performance is used six times(!) in the final two paragraphs; it's grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with "ever" as this it must be used in conjunction with the words which follow as in: ever was, ever happened or, ever will be. As mentioned previously - read it aloud, until it sounds right, and keep in mind the "flow" as this should sound conversational in rhythm.Note the bridge, or connecting, word and the commas - read aloud and you'll hear that it flows more easily.
...."Big Girls Don't Cry" which Sara, their guitarist, said ....

QUESTION:
Can I keep a Chinese Water Dragon and only feed it Veggies and Feeder Fish its whole life?
So I am thinking of getting a Chinese Water Dragon Lizard and I really dont want to feed it any thing disgusting like worms out of my own hand. The cage it will live in will be outdoors and connected to the ground (so they might be able to dig worms out of the ground), it will have a pond with many varieties of Gold Fish and White Cloud Mountain Minnow. The pond will be small so they will be able to easily catch the fish, also there will be a few small trees and some bushes. So I wont be feeding these guys anything but vegetables. They can catch gold fish and worms by themselves I presume. Also can they live with Iguanas and can both these lizard types live in Melbourne weather? Here is our weather: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT003020Also will these guys eat birds and bird eggs? I will be keeping expensive breeder birds (large ones, around the size of a very large parrot, like gold and blue macaw) and I am scared these lizards will either eat the birds or their eggs. I dont want the eggs or babies to be eaten as I want to sell them for huge profit. So will they eat the eggs, babies or birds?
Thanks for answering all my questions in advance
I wont be getting the iguana as they are illegal in my area. I will only get 1 or 2 Water Dragons, there will be lots of places were the birds can lay eggs so I doubt he/she will rock up across a nest by accident. If the lizards do get hurt I doubt it will be anything major. As these guys are aquatic they will probably spend most of their time in water away from the birds. Also there wont be just gold fish, there will also be other types of feeder fish and I am pretty sure they will find a lot of worms and other bugs as the cage will be connected to the ground of the backyard. As I said I will also feed them lots of veggies.
Okay, I wont get the freakin water dragons. Can any one recommend some preferably large dragons that can live in a place that I will put them in? Thanks
-
ANSWER:
First off... you're willing to risk the lizards because if they get attacked by the birds you think "i doubt it will be anything major"?
Second off... Chinese Water Dragons are not an aquatic lizard. Have you seen their feet? They are semi-arboreal lizards that LOVE to climb and they are very active if given the proper diet... but based on what you've said they won't be and they won't live past 6 months old. Letting them feed on wild bugs that could have come from anywhere is dangerous by itself. Any of them could have parasites and pass them on to your dragon.And housing lizards with "expensive breeder birds" is another risk you're willing to take for those birds? If you can't afford to build another enclosure for them or afford to be able to properly feed your lizards, why are you going to keep them?
You were given answers and won't listen. Seems to me that you don't want to learn... so why ask?

QUESTION:
What type of fish was this? Worth an absolute fortune!?
Okay so i was a this amazing exotic fish/pet shop in melbourne australia. There was these fish from thailand that were being sold for 00 australian. They were probably the most amazing fish i've seen. They were freshwater, look exactly like lizards or walking fish etc. except for the gills. I'm generally really good with animal classification but i thought these were amphibians. They were black and covered in gold spots and not gold as in yellow but a brilliant gold colour. The only had a scientific name and i should have written it down and know i can't remember.Does anyone know what type of fish this was?
And from memory i think this fish was extinct in the wild or really close to being extinct. Pretty sad considering the beauty of it.
It was an actual fish with it's gills just like any other fishes.-
ANSWER:
It wasn't some kind of Bichir, Snakehead or Lungfish was it? Snakeheads are illegal in Aus so I'm hoping it wasn't one of those, not sure on the status of Bichirs. However, there are some species of Lungfish native to Aus, like the Queensland Lungfish, or Neoceratodus forsteri:
