Hi, Veena,
Okay, being the impulsive person that I am, I have signed up for the FuzzB market for the $25 per year for listing up to 10,000 items (don't think I'll have to worry about going past that...lol!). I figured if I sell something or two somethings, that will pay for the fee. Otherwise it was only 25 and will renew every year if I keep my shop current. I found the listing process more complicated than any of the others. I made a beginning auction price, a reserve price, and a buyout price. Will have to see how that works. Still not clear on how to find my "shop".....won't worry about it until more things are in there. Just wanted to let you know. So far, I think the classiest may be 1000markets, then Etsy, then Artfire, then this one. Have to wait and see again about that opinion. Etsy has been successful for me so far. Hard to keep up with listing into all of them. Have a good weekend.

Another of my friends from the BBest team expresses the same feelings about 1000markets. She thinks it is well done, elegant, and a fine venue. I'm hoping when it opens that all who are there will be successful. Thank you for the kind words regarding my 1000markets shop. Talk to you again soon.

Well, one thing I had read was $25 year for a "shop" Another place I read was $5 a month for a verified shop. Then I saw that Bids Start Here. So, I think I will use it the way you use it and put up photos and chat and link to other place.
Re 1000 It hasn't officially gone public yet. They have been tweaking the tags in people's shops for the last two weeks, and I don't know what the official grand opening date is. So, I'm wwaiting to see. I really think all view have been internal from staff so far if it isn't open to the public.
Artfire has lots of views, but the only sale I've had there was for a custom baby blanket, hat, and booties set which I lucked onto reading the chat posts.
Going to get my hair cut now so have to stop. Talk to you more about stuff later. Maybe we can figure out how to help both of us!

I looked a couple of "shops" Is this a bidding place like ebay rather than a fixed price place? I'm sure there is someplace I can read about the details of having a market or shop here. If you have time to share what you know it would be terrific. Thanks.
Thanks for the nice welcome. I hope so, too! Have to go check out everything. Your creations are always beautiful, by the way.
Do you have a market that you pay to have here?
My clothing is influenced by Van Gogh, Monet, Gaughin, Lautrec, and the clothing of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. I'm also in love with the clothes of the 1930s and 1940s.
