Etsy vs Ebay for Jewelry?

[HistoryTeacher]

I've been considering opening an Etsy to sell certain items (especially vintage jewelry). Prices seem higher on Etsy and I wonder if people get these prices for their jewelry. Anybody tried both or noticed a difference between them?

thanks

I've found that the market for vintage and antique jewelry has changed considerably over time, with lower to mid range items perhaps doing a little better on Etsy depending on what is trending, while highly sought after or 'rarer' pieces still going strong on eBay.

Etsy as a venue, is very 'jewelry heavy' due to its artisan environment, however, there is no cost to open a shop there and definitely worth a try. Good luck!

We sell on both. Most Ebay buyers bargain - and expect discounts. Etsy buyers are generally higher quality. BUT - a lot more international buyers on ebay (roughly 25% of our ebay sales).
