I sell a lot of vintage on my ebay store too mixed with newer things like clothing. I'm hoping someday etsy becomes the best place to sell vintage. I'm going to do some posts on my experiences there in the near future.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938880698057594793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517973704817315385.post-26411004521925171992015-12-11T04:31:35.910-08:002015-12-11T04:31:35.910-08:00Definitely folk art.

Overall ebay has been okay this year, but I was just thinking the same thing about the 4th quarter magic that hasn't really come this year. Glad to hear etsy is doing well for you. I haven't tried it yet. Are those items completely different than your ebay inventory?Margaret @ Live Like No One Elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407182443460902580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517973704817315385.post-24034382269378778112015-12-08T15:12:48.590-08:002015-12-08T15:12:48.590-08:00Hi Tami. it is on paper.

I hope things improve for both of us. I'm no longer focused on just increasing my inventory on ebay as I was last year. That did me no good. I have to focus on getting better items I guess. What I'm putting on ebay isn't selling anymore. <br /><br />Just had another sale…..etsy again! I'm not complaining. I did have two sales on ebay today as well.

I have cut back on blogging because I have been busy and anyway who wants to hear the ravings of an "old woman"...<br />Oil painting are almost always on canvas, canvas board or mason board. The oil will leech out on paper. You may be able to tell if the painting is oil by the smell. Oil retains its linseed oil smell for quite a while while acrylic will have a chemical smell but not like linseed oil..if that helps. As to the style...ahhhh...unusual is a good word. Outsider art?<br />Ebay has been like a roller coaster for me. I lost TRS in May and it has been awful. Sales down and all over the place. Usually coming in bunches at certain times of the day. Why? Who knows. At this point I am grateful for every sale since we depend on the ebay income. This past week end I had no sales on Friday, 1 sale on Saturday at almost midnight and 10 on Sunday. Does not make any sense this close to Christmas. Hope your sales pick up on ebay and stay up on etsy. I had an etsy shop (primitive folk art)several years ago and am thinking about putting vintage things there next year. I'm basically waiting to see what happens in Feb on ebay with the new "rules".Good luck with the painting.annabel52https://www.blogger.com/profile/02550519723828922433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517973704817315385.post-64816668073284064162015-12-07T17:13:19.418-08:002015-12-07T17:13:19.418-08:00I had 2 ebay sales all weekend.
