[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9497111, member: 15376"]Finally have a free bit of time to come back here and read through everything. I really appreciate all your knowledge and experience! From what I'm seeing, Ebay is the (slightly) lesser of multiple evils. Its definitely the one I'm most familiar with. Without the sold item search, Etsy personally feels less trustworthy when it comes to prices, but that doesn't really equate to selling there. As an unknown, and with your comments, I think I'll stay away for now. I like the idea of Vinted! It has generally lower prices, but like you said definitely a good place for the cheaper stuff, practice or learning stuff, stuff to get gone etc. I might try FB for that too on occaision. Leboncoin as far as I have used it, are for larger items/real estate. We've used it often for appliances and furniture, but I don't see much when it comes to jewelry. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and get started, be as honest and authentic as possible, and maybe keep my $100+ items off the internet until I get a feel for the environment. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to keep shipping to continental at first? I don't want to shoot myself in the foot but it sounds like a lot of issues come from international shipping. I'm very grateful for your time and expertise put into this thread! Thank you.[/QUOTE]
