I looked into Etsy and talked to some artists that have used it. Most said that they didn't make enough sales. There are so many products on Etsy, I think it's hard to stand out.
I did some research into the pricing on Etsy a while ago. Etsy charges 20 cents per item for listings. You can list three purple purses in one listing but they still cost you 20 cents each. If you sell something, you then pay Etsy 3.5% of your selling fee.
If you are using PayPal to take payments online, you pay 30 cents per transaction plus 2.9% of your selling fee. The percents go down the more you sell.
Etsy and PayPal aren't taking huge amounts from your sales, but it seems like people sell things way too cheap on Etsy. You'd probably have to price low to be competitive and not have a high enough profit margin to make it worthwhile.
