I spent Saturday morning in my pajamas posting some of my art on etsy. It is something I have been meaning to do forever and it is hopefully a way to raise some money. I sold a lot of my art at my art opening last January and so it was sort of difficult for me to bring my pieces down to a price that would sell on Etsy.
As soon as I finished listing my items I checked my email and was shocked to see a payment from someone into my paypal account. It wasn’t until I actually read the entire email that I figured out I had sold something on Etsy. I was very pleasantly surprised, but then realized I had sold possibly my best art piece for $20. Probably not very smart of me. Well, it was just sitting around here anyway. But it did make me feel a little weird. I probably underpriced a few items and overpriced others. It’s a hard judgment call. And then shipping is a whole ‘nother matter. I always blow it on shipping and lose money on the sale. Hopefully I didn’t overprice or underprice shipping on Etsy. We’ll see.
If you would like to check out my shop you can find it at: mammaitaliana23.etsy.com
If you look under sold, you’ll see the piece I’m talking about. It was my favorite one, but I know it will go to a good home!
