One of the most fun places to sell your own arts and crafts is a nifty website called Etsy. You can set up your own shop for free. Just remember that your shop name will become your chat room name, so unless you want to be called Sexy Mama you should probably pick another store name.

Etsy is all about handmade arts & crafts as well as soaps, cosmetics, incense, and art supplies like beads and tags. Some people even market their graphics services.

To get started on Etsy all you do is hop on over to the website. Each item you list costs you .20 whether the item retails for $1.00 or $1000.00. If and when it sells you pay a small percentage to Etsy. You get to set your own prices, your own shipping, and your own return policy.

Etsy has a lot of cool features like a Treasury so you can show off the work of other Etsians. It has forums and chatrooms and even an occassional puppet show.

I've selected a few of my personal favorite shops to highlight.
