Etsy.com

etsy.com is probably the best site for selling your handcrafts ... the fees are excellent and the site features are wonderful ... the quality and variety of crafts on this site is very impressive ... when you list an item on etsy you have your own store (there is no additional fee for that either) and listings are for 3 months

i have my own shop there and when i
