  You don't have to have an account to browse, but I'm pretty sure you need one to order.

  Having a (successful) etsy shop is a lot of work. I think going to craft shows is easier. I know there are some Nesties with successful etsy stores, hopefully they'll chime in.

  There are also boards on etsy for these types of questions.

  If you are wanting to sell on etsy, you need an account. You do if you only want to buy too. An account is easy and doesn't cost anything. Selling on etsy is a whole other story. Do your research. Search for the type of product you want to sell and see what is out there. Alot of areas on Etsy are really over-saturated, and therefore it can be difficult to be seen. Selling on etsy takes alot of work. You can't just throw some items in your shop and sit back and wait for sales. Depending on what you sell, you might do just as well, or better at local craft shows. Try both. It only costs 20 cents to list an item for 4 month, so if it doesn't sell, you aren't out a whole lot (depending on how many you list). Check out the forums on etsy too. There is much to be learned by reading them.

  I use Etsy to sell, and I enjoy it alot. It is simple. and I don't have time to go to craft shows and what I specailize in is big in my area at craft shows but, not on Etsy. It does take work but if you put just a little time in even just once a week it can be rewarding. and they have fun free ways of promoting your shop that let you explore Etsy also.

  Hope this helps, just noticed the date on the original post.
