    Default Have any of you used this web site to buy or sell fabric?

    I found this today, and I am wondering if it is a good alternative to ebay or etsy for selling stash fabrics.

    The prices look really high. That won't attract buyers. Their FAQ says that they release funds manually after an item has been designated as shipped. That doesn't inspire confidence.

    I've never heard of it until now, but I'm definitely intrigued.

    It looks like prices are set by the seller, so you can set your prices as high or low as you want. Also, please note that shipping is INCLUDED in the seller's price. So it may look like the fabric is expensive, but it includes shipping costs.

    Only thing that gives me pause is how good (or bad) the sellers are at taking photos of the fabric. Hopefully the colors are true!

    The good news for sellers is their rate is lower than Etsy. My thoughts - what do you have to lose? List a couple of things and see what happens.

    Yes, based on what I read in their terms, the prices include shipping. That may be why they seem a bit high.
    And yes....good pictures are important - any time someone wants to sell anywhere online

    also, it looks like feelgood fibers reserves the right to reject any fabric from sellers that they deem poor quality or otherwise unacceptable.

    They are very new.... only a bit over 2 yrs old now, so I just wondered how well known they are, and if they will inspire more shops like this to pop up online.
    I like the idea of a viable alternative to the usual....ebay, etsy, FB, and CL....etc

    Maybe I will give them a try...
