Selling your homemade arts and crafts online can be a way to make extra money. You may not be able to make a full-time living at it, but you certainly can make some extra spending money. Online art and craft sellers report that on one site they can't make a single sale, while on another site they make a regular income. So if you try one site and don't make a sale, don't give up, try one or two other places.
Bonanza is an online marketplace for arts and crafts etc. You can list items for free, but there is a transaction fee of 3.5% with a minimum of $0.50.
CafePress is where you can sell your art, custom t-shirts, personlized mugs, and other unique products. In addition to listing your own item, you can set up an online shop, or you can join the CafePress affiliate program.
eBay is an online auction where you can sell your arts and crafts, and a broad variety of goods and services. eBay has many high and complicated fees. There is an insertion fee of $0.50 - $2.00 per listing. When the highest bidder purchases your item there is an additional fee of 9% of the total amount of the sale. eBay is often referred to as "feeBay". However there is a small group of people who actually make a living on eBay.
eCrater is a free online marketplace where sellers get a free customizable online store and can list an unlimited number of items which are shown both in their own store and in eCrater's marketplace. There are no fees for standard features (there are fees to be listed on the eCrater.com front page or to have your URL changed).
