Would you buy handmade products on ebay and if so what?
My boyfriend is a talented artist and he’s at university so is a little strapped for cash. What handmade products might you buy on ebay? Cards,paintings etc. Could you suggest anything he could make and sell?
Selling on eBay is a difficult task and requires a lot of time, dedication and patience; however for most people it’s fun and take it in a positive way.

I would say paintings. Everyone is always looking for nice art to hang in their home, but not pay the high prices.

I have bought blankets that you can order with the colors you want, really great quality and heckuva deal.

maybe some jewelery. but only if it looks good.
my sister bought a handmade wallet from ebay too.
but make sure to take pictures of any handmade objects in a good spot. a badly taken picture on ebay immediately turns me off.

I might buy paintings, watercolors, drawings, pottery or sculptures. I would not buy craft items that most anyone could make.

I tend to buy handmade jewelry, but if that isn’t his thing I think I would consider some cute, unique paintings that were small and eye catching.
Maybe some quaint household objects could be sculpted and then sold as nic-nacs.
If you do get it up and running, please, give us a bell, I’d love to see what he has!

Paintings possibly, but not at very good prices. Most craft items do not sell well – what the craftsperson and their friends think is good and cool many people might consider as tat. On ebay you cannot see or feel the item and a photo can be no indication of quality.
I have a workmate who is of an artistic bent and is a fanatical re-cycler to help save the planet. SHE thinks her home is full of beautiful things [her words] that she has re-cycled, renovated and given a new life to. Most people being more used to furnishing their homes from High Street retailers would consider her home to be full of tatty junk!

I am an artist who sells on ebay.
Without a recognizable name, he will not get what he wants as in high prices for his paintings.
What does sell well:
ATC’s – Artist Trading Cards – baseball card size works of art
ACEOS – samething but not limited only to that size.
What i would suggest is he doesnt put to much effort into his little handmade objects – expect a final sale price of under 20. so if he can turn them out quickly it can be worth it.
But if becomes attached, created a masterpiece, and then it sells for 6.50, he might be discouraged.
The real marketplace for handmade goods is etsy.com
I have a blog (very new) that is dedicated to arts marketing and ebay sales
you should check out this article if you plan on assisting in the sales
