Sell Your Crafts Online at Zibbet

Zibbet is an online global marketplace for handmade goods. If you haven't looked into selling your crafts here yet, it is well worth checking out.

All About the Buttons

Five or six years ago, few online sites were visible or viable for the hand made artisan. Today the numbers can be confusing and overwhelming.

Zibbet.com started in February of 2009. It is based in Australia but has a large number of American crafts people on the site. It has been a seller-centered site from the start and that has remained a great attraction.

There are several levels of membership starting with a free shop allowing 50 items. The premium arrangements allow great diversity, decoration and perks in your shop. There is a special on now for just $69 a year. There are NO listing fees and no commissions.

Price is crucial to an artist struggling to make sales in these tough economic times and so Zibbet's terms are very attractive. But in addition, one must know and take into account the incredible level of support and assistance that is available through the site's owners. Responses to questions are handled promptly. They have an active visibility in the forums with suggestions and concerns. They ask your opinion and it is eagerly considered.

No, I am not a Zibbet owner. I am a crafts person with over 6 years experience of selling online. I have joined and dismissed 5 other venues. Zibbet has been my home for 2 years and as long as I can create, I will sell though this site.

Guest author Barbra La Bosco, owner of All About the Buttons creates one of a kind home and personal items mostly embellished with buttons including knitted and crochet work, clocks, bookmarks, magnets, barrettes and more.

18. Questions about the site

I have had a shop at Zibbet for a couple of years and have sold 1 item. Recently I got an email offering a free month trial of Premium. I did some research and it seemed as if Premium sellers had better seo than basic sellers.

I decided to try the Premium and signed up with a different shop name, since I have since used the shop name elsewhere and didn't want to do conflicting seo.

During signup I was given a box for a Promotion code and put it in. When I got to Paypal, I worked thru the boxes and the free month was never given. Subscription began today. Not only that, but the subscription is coming out of an account I don't use for my business and there is no option to change it. When I tried contacting, it wouldn't take my user/voice password. I don't know what that is, but I put in my normal zibbet password for my account and it wouldn't take it.

Is there anyway to contact anyone and get this straight? I need to resolve this before I go on. I would appreciate any input from anyone.

Thanks !
