Ok I haven't been around here for a while. But just recently I went live with my Etsy store for my little project - which is shadow puppet theatre kits for children. The idea is to have a creative, unplugged play that also helps to revive the art of story telling.

I have a simple website which currently links to my etsy store, mainly because Etsy has something like 42 million visitors per month. I'd just like to know if any folks here have been selling on Etsy, and how they can get noticed among all the sellers, or whether it better to just build your own storefront with a shopping cart.

(my webhosting provide mistakenly removed my instantpage, at www.shadow-stories.com but it should be live again tomorrow)

Any thoughts?

I bought some fake fur on Etsy. I used Paypal, and it went to my old address where I hadn't lived for 7 years. Etsy good. Paypal bad.
