I have a few questions. I want to start selling on my Etsy account but not sure about how much they charge. well confused at it anyways. lol I need to know if it is a .20 per item you sell that they charge for and is that a one time fee? Also when do they charge you that? If you don't have money in your bank account or if there is an overdraft on the bank account will that cause a problem? Thanks and love your videos even if they shake. I have the same problem when making videos. ^.^

You video content is very good it helped me a lot but you need to use a tripod. We can't read the screen so there is no need to keep zooming in and out increase camera to at least 720p or higher.

Thanks Deborah...

there might be a video on youtube somewhere on this topic I have to research it. :-D

Sounds like we have a similar setup - I have a mac mini and a canon ip2700 here. Mac user since 1992!

Angie, I don't have any plans for making videos on printing prints at this point. I am using my Canon i9900 printer, which cost about $500. Really good printers cost a lot more than that.

I will let you know if I decide to make videos of the printing process, but don't hold your breath on that one! :D

If I was to be selling prints, I'm thinking more from the angle of a hobby seller, not power seller.

Thanks for the videos, Deborah :-D

Silly thing only allows so many characters.. ugh!!

If you feel like doing more on this subject, I'd love to see some video on how to make prints from you artwork (if you do that, yourself?)...

- which method most economical yet good quality

- should you print them yourself, and if so, what do you need - ie. type of printer, ink, which paper or other to print on is best?

Is it better quality/price per print to send out to a service?

Hi Deborah, thanks for all of these marketing related videos, this is a great series, very interesting. I don't have an etsy acct yet because I'm a beginner artist, but if/when at some point I am ready, this is helpful.
