Can you sell things you have MADE, on ebay?

Question

For example, my sister paints, and she would like to sell some of her paintings on ebay. I make hemp necklaces, scarves, ect too that i would like to sell. Is it possible to sell these things?

Answer 1

Yes but the prices people are willing to pay will never cover the cost of your supplies.  I quilt and a queen size costs $250 in fabric and batting.  Never mind the 100 hours I spent making it.  People offer you 100 and think they are being generous.

Answer 2

You can sell just about anything on ebay, the question is will anyone buy it?

Answer 3

ebay is a place to sell whatever the h**l you want!!! go for it!!! just don't sell it for less than it's worth.

Answer 4

Yes.  But Etsy might be a better marketplace for handmade items:

Answer 5

Paintings are a hard sell on eBay.  I see outstanding paintings that sell for less than the cost of the canvas.  The sellers who do get good money for paintings on eBay are those with a strong reputation, and who do a lot of marketing outside of eBay to drive traffic to their listings.
