Etsy Vs. Ebay? Please help!

Just wondering...where do you think is the best place for selling crafts online?

I am opening up an Etsy shop right this moment but wonder if I should close my Ebay site.
I've gotten a LOT of great marketing advice thanks to The Buzz's online selling guide (www.thebuzz.etsy.com) would also like to hear everyone's advice for marketing online!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE It. It's getting more and more well known. It is a market for only handmade crafts and buyers who expect to pay those kind of prices.; ▶ Reply to This

As a consumer, I see the etsy products as more genuine and I'm usually willing to pay a little bit more because I know it's not some mass-produced made in another country thing. Just my opinion, though. Good luck - I'll look for your work on etsy!!; ▶ Reply to This

No Nag Nirvana

Yes, wouldn’t that be like heaven? You walk around the house and without saying a word, backpacks, toys and clothes are picked up…dishes are cleared off the table and towels are hung back on the towel rack.
