Feeling Frustrated...

Someone tell me why I'm still trying to sell through Etsy when I haven't had a REAL sale since Dec 13th, before that was Dec 3rd, which was a refund and one sale. The EDec 11th bit is a barter/trade, not a sale.

This is stupid. Christmas rush? WHAT Christmas rush? Lots of sales after the Nov release of Version 2 of Etsy? Bullshit, my sales actually DROPPED.

Im so tired of hearing, "Etsy is so much cheaper than Ebay." Yeah, maybe if you actually sell something and have money coming in to replace what you've spent to list and promote yourself. Otherwise, I feel like I'm just throwing my money away again. Things I thought for sure would sell quickly... aren't even getting hardly any looks.

I'm so damn frustrated right now, that I've not dyed a single new thing since the middle of December. What's the point? It apparently won't sell anyway. The damn catagories that my stuff falls under is so inundated with other people doing nearly the exact same thing and selling for cheaper, that it's impossible to even try to keep up anymore. And coming up with something new that's not been seen before? Is becoming impossible.

I guess I just need a break for awhile or something. I honestly don't know anymore.
