There are alternative routes besides Paypal, but I feel like it's the most secure one. You also don't need a credit card. You can use your bank account info or a debit card.
I have better sales in person - craft shows etc - than I do on etsy. I also find that on etsy, things that someone can use to MAKE something themselves sell better than finished objects, which is exactly the opposit of what happen in face to face sales. There are alot of crafters on etsy, so something they can make something with moves better than something that is finined IME.
Do you guys sell your prints on there (if you draw), or your other
crafts?
