i assume you make more on your own store as you aren't losing a cut to etsy

Both stores are on Etsy and Etsy takes a small fee on both. But I’m using a drop shipping company with the new one so the costs are higher, I would make more if people buy bigger sizes and frames.

Hows the new shop going @rich110991

any teething issues?

I had a change of heart :ROFLMAO: The quality of the print from the drop shipping company wasn’t very good to be honest, and the more expensive paper was too expensive.

I decided to just focus on my first shop, so I rebranded and added some new prints :)

I’ve set up an Instagram account now too, which I probably should have done 2 years ago! But better late than never haha.

Ah well at least you tried

They always say mistakes are a good thing as it shows decisions are being made compared to not moving forward with things at all!

This is why I would never use drop shipping. I hate the idea of not being in control and the possible varying quality. I still have 100% feedback on my ebay account and wouldn't want to lose it because a third party I was relying on ballsed up.

Do you not think it can work if you trust the supplier and don’t have the storage space?

I do know someone that uses a drop shipping company and is successful with it, it’s just not for me really. Her items aren’t personalised and mine are, so that makes it harder, and the bottom line is they’re all too expensive.

I've been working on my first drawing that i will try to sell prints of - it's a pencil portrait drawing but can anyone recommend what to do when it comes to copyrighting? Do I put my signature on it? Do I create a watermark on the print?
I'm probably going to try a digital print option first just to see if there's any interest but i'm just a bit wary of plagiarism!

Not sure about copyrighting it...but just to stop people downloading it from etsy listing maybe you could put a watermark on it and when purchased send the version with the watermark removed

Yeah do what Annie said, but also the listing images on Etsy aren’t the best quality anyway (sadly), so if someone did try and copy and paste it, they won’t have a very good copy :LOL: so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Hi all,

I've scanned one of my drawings and wanted to test out the epson paper, but I couldn't find where to change the paper type on word? Can anyone tell me the best software to print the scanned image from?

Thanks :D

why are you printing from word? What do you open the image with on your pc? Mine just opens from pictures and top left theres the print option or on the toolbar theres the change orientation option. Maybe you need to save it as a jpeg

I don't know haha, i've just always used word whenever I printed regular pictures as I found it easier to manipulate the photos into whatever size I wanted. I'm just unsure about printing prints of my drawings haha!

I wouldn’t use Word for that sort of thing. I use Photoshop but you can get free alternatives like GIMP, not sure if Canva is free.
