I'm inordinately pleased to have my first sale on Etsy. To a lady in the UK no less! For some reason I feel like having someone buy it from from a place that experienced the Regency fashions firsthand is validation...I know that sounds strange when I type it out.
Etsy certainly is more freeform than eBay. No annoying micromanagement of shipping and policies. I do miss being able to do shipping labels straight off the order page, but it's just a couple extra steps to manually input all the info.
On a side note, I love my new photo lightbox. It makes the photos come out much more professional looking.
