You MUST try etsy.com. It's a place for handmade things--people sell handmade items, like greeting cards, and people buy the handmade items. I have an account there. You should at least try this site, even if you go with something else.





Also, a good place to check is...

All the best to you.

I highly recommend Etsy.com as a great place to start selling your greeting cards. Setting up a "shop" is easy and affordable with charges of 20 cents for each listed item and a 3.5% sales fee.


As a plus, their site's templates make it simple and pleasurable for buyers. Because their market is primarily for original handmade goods, you should have a much better and targeted buying audience.
Reply:ebay??? Good luck!
Reply:Well Abigale, you could do what most artists do and put your work with the masters, someone may pick it up and "discover" you.
