DRONES AND VIDEOS cards do not sell well on Etsy,do your research,also there is Etsy forum,many sellers have not seen sales for months.
listing fee is 20 cents for 3 months

Most of my sales do not come from advertising,but if they do,it is shocking to find out I barely make any money from the sale !

That 16.8% surely there little margin for the sell unless you can buy something for £100 and sell for £200
But I can't see that happening in the real world
eBay is crap for sellers the fees are killing it

I just sent you a private message

Depends what you sell. My business doesn't work any where else other than ebay unfortunately. I've tried Amazon, Facebook marketplace, Etsy etc. Ebays seller protection is really good. Saved me a few times from dodgy buyers claiming non-receipt.

I've been thinking about a brick & mortar store but I know that won't work either as I send a lot of items through the global shipping program as well ! and up and down the country.

Agreed, eBay is great for me and my business.

THings must be pretty bad out there,national stores are closing in some areas due to shoplifting ,or locking up items .
Some are limiting the number of items you can do self checkout.
They are stealing anything everything from razor,battery,ice cream,steak,shrimp but not as bad as Home Depot,they are actually robbing and carry firearms.
