Advertisement always costs more when it reaches more people. Sure, etsy may cost 50% as much...but if 5% as many people see your item for sale, is it really better? I say no. Business isn't only about keeping your costs low...it's about getting the most bang for your buck. There isn't another online sales site that will put your item in front of as many people as eBay...simple as that. Because of that, you pay higher fees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
