Etsy or ArtFire for example? But let me tell you, that would be dangerous - for me!! (LOL)

if you're looking just to post pictures, go with photobucket or flickr. if you want a shop, either etsy or artfire, but etsy's

etsy does have better traffic, but I don't think either has great admin...just sayin.

Etsy's fees can be pretty steep too, but for high-end items it probably doesn't matter so much. (says the girl whose fees were $200 in Feb)

I'd buy from photobucket images with prices in the comments, if I 'knew' the person selling :-D
Haffina says

you cant 'sell' from flickr - they go a bit nuts
Haffina says

you could also get a website from someone like yola or go daddy or something - pretty low cost or free
Haffina says

but you have to drive traffic there yourself

yeah, flickr is shaky ground, I know a few people who had their accounts deleted without warning for 'selling'.

my flickr photos (not account) were deleted - pissed me off. but i was trying to give a fair suggestion :-)

it's been a bit of a trial to figure this out.. I just wanted to get some things up for all of my new designer~friends.

I love all this advice. I can use as much as possible so I can plan accordingly.

I'm sure anywhere will work as long as you can point us to it. :-D

Benefits of using Etsy or Artfire or similar: you don't have to send invoices or muck around with collecting money. you sound busy...
jennaappleton says

so maybe the fees are worth it. Other side of the story, putting photos up on Photobucket or similar is quicker than listing stuff on sites.
Brandi girl says

hmm... you could also look at ecrater.com or get a yahoo store.
Brandi girl says

jenna's right, as long as you point us to it, we'll go
Haffina says

exactly - something to consider though - zibbet and AF dont have any final fees - Etsy does - might not be an issue with high end stuff
Haffina says

but it will take a chunk of profits

As long as you can direct us to your Photobucket or wherever your put your pics, they will sell, I'm sure. If you post it, we will buy!! :-D

I agree with what the others have already said! I think high end gems do pretty well on Etsy, but us plurkies will buy from photobucket too!
