Online Alternatives to Ebay for Selling Bead Jewelry

BeadBoard.Net - Bead Jewelry Making Ideas � Blog Archive � Online Alternatives to Ebay for Selling Bead Jewelry: "Everyone has heard of the online auction site eBay, but not everyone has had the best luck selling bead jewelry on it. I'm one of those people. I find that it's just too difficult to compete with the other bead jewelry artists in pricing and quality.

For bead jewelry artists who don't want to start their own website or those who want to sell online through other means, there are plenty of options. There are really two kinds of online sales sites.

1. Online stores allow you to display your wares and sell them for a set price.

2. Auction sites allow you to put up your pieces for 'auction' for a limited time and allow potential buyers to bid the price up, with the highest bidder buying your jewelry.

There are pros and cons to each, but I've generally found that online stores are easier to manage because you're not constantly monitoring auctions and timing and pricings.

Here are a few alternative sites I've looked at for buying and selling bead jewelry. Feel free to post your own experiences with some of these sites!"
