She has been accepted but has not yet opened a store.
It sounds very cool ,100% of the profits are given to charity!
Worth looking into.
She has not been very happy with etsy lately with their fees and forced advertising.
She is hoping this new venue will attract many buyers as it gets out into main stream.

Would anyone be able to have a look and tell me if it looks like they can buy by the oz or by the 100 gram?
But now I look at it and it's way too low compared to the others on etsy. So that will probably have to go up because with online sales the perception of quality has a lot to do with the price.

This person: https://www.etsy.com/listing/773047019/hand-dyed-teeswater-lincoln-locks-wool has tons of sales, and some of her pictures are terribly blurry! Sheesh. Maybe pictures don't matter as much as I would have thought...?
She's also selling in the US, which I imagine has more buyers...(?)
Maybe Etsy is like Amazon, where to get a lot of sales it comes down to advertising the heck out of something until you get to the top. Then it's easier to stay at the top. Until Amazon private labels your product, and competes with you, of course.
As far as pictures go, I like the ones that show the curls of wool in an evenly laid out fashion. Other than that, a light background is nice so you can see the color better, imo. Unless it's white wool of course.

How about the background? Do you like the darker corners or do you think I should put more effort into making it white?

It looks great. I didn't even notice the darker corners until you mentioned it. The rainbow grabs the attention completely. Lovely!

If you have a quick moment, could you look at the etsy shop and on the listing page? They have a white background on their page so the image looks different.

1. Pricing; I stick to my guns. I say [how much did it cost to produce] + [how many hours of my time went into it * a living wage] = my price.
If it's above market value, people buy from me because they want to support me and they understand I don't buy/resell crap. They are paying me for my time and work and I make that known. If it's below market value, SWEET. I get to wreck an entire corporate market and still get paid a living wage. That's my fav.

Most importantly: Since most of my sales are wholesale and not through Etsy, I also have to be conscious not to hurt the sales of my wholesale customers. Undercutting their prices is only going to hurt me in the long term.
