Where can I sell items of my own craft work?
I've got a load of completed cross stitch and want to sell it so that I can raise some money for epilepsy charities.
Answers:
I have sold a few pieces of semi-completed tapestry on E-Bay via auction (as opposed to via Buy It Now) and have been pleasantly surprised at how much has been bid for them. So, that may be worth trying - but I wouldn't advise putting the whole lot on at once, as E-Bay fees have a habit of mounting up and also as there are only so many people at one time looking for this kind of item.
We live in the UK and at first had a lot of success selling our handcrafted jewellery on E-Bay - not any longer, sadly, due to mass listings of imported jewellery. We initially tried some big craft fairs and markets - but even those that were not "full up for jewellery" proved unprofitable in terms of time, effort and cost. Some charge £30 - £40 an upwards for a stall!
If you also live in the UK and have enough completed cross stitch to fill a whole stall I can highly recommend contacting your local churches and schools - we have done five fairs at churches and schools this summer and on each occasion have taken over £100. The organisers are unfailingly friendly, the stall charges are very reasonable - £10 - £15 average - and as churches and schools are strong communities the events are always well attended.
Most areas have lots of churches and schools within easy reach and many will be having Christmas fairs soon. Well worth a few phone calls, I would say. And you will probably find, as we have done, that you will "get on the circuit", in that if people who belong to other churches/schools attend and like what you are selling they will ask you for your contact details and you will be on their mailing list for future fairs.
All the best of luck!

You can try ebay..alot of craft items are sold there or check with local churches and they can display the items for you
Ebay would be really good, they have a specialist charity section too. Plus you can reach loads of people and sell your product internationally.
Sell it on ebay, and be sure to put in the description that you are doing it for a charity, and that way you will get more people bidding on the items, also if there is a way so that they can get a reciept from you for a charitable contribution, they can write it off on their taxes, and therefore they will even want to give more.
you could have a garage sale. Or something else like that. If you don't want to do one every week, start to sell stuff on eBay, maybe you could have a yard sale every month or every other month.
What about craft fairs? In the fall there are usually a lot of fairs that will allow you to sell your work for a small fee. I know that in my area churches put on fairs as well as other community groups such as schools and groups like Rotary. It might be a good way to sell them and be able to tell people about your work.
