Well, it's up: my independent website. Etsy is forcing its American sellers to verify their bank accounts via Plaid, but unfortunately, it doesn't recognize any of my account information. So, going independent.
@Feathered_Friend WOW!!! Thank you! I will package her today and get her in the mail tomorrow.
@MariaAragon64 Thank you so much, it's so beautiful I may keep it lol
@Feathered_Friend Do you want me to wire her for hanging? Or will you get her framed when she gets there?
@MariaAragon64 I will have her framed thanks 😁
@Feathered_Friend
I'll package her then!
I will send you the tracking number tomorrow.
@MariaAragon64 groovy, ty !
@Feathered_Friend I'm hoping she arrived all right?
@MariaAragon64 She did and she is beautiful 😁 packaged great & thanks for the bonus! You are very talented
@Feathered_Friend so glad to hear it. I always worry about something going haywire.
@stoneartist interesting artwork there too!
@stoneartist I love that painting of the elderly woman.
@MariaAragon64 and i yours of the younger woman with the sublime expression.
colored pencil - Maria Sabina · thank you
@MariaAragon64 Good for you! Your site already has a shopping cart set up! You did it in html even. 👏
Wishing you success and happiness!
@Priestess and have had two sales since it opened, so...yay!
@MariaAragon64 Did you need to from a business and acquire your own UPC in order to market your works in smaller independent bookstores and markets?
I ask because that is what independent markets needed me to do in order for carry music recordings I produced and published. They all wanted bar coded merchandise.
@Priestess
At Lulu.com, you have the option of publishing your books with or without a barcode. I published with. Not sure how that works for audio publishing. Perhaps someone here knows?

@Priestess
I set up my independent site because Etsy was boosting their charges and then they were forcing their American vendors to do things through a third party with some dubious rules on protection.
I haven't formed an llc or anything, just an independent website. Lulu and Kindle handles distribution for the author.
@MariaAragon64 Wow, impressive collection. I just found a very nice xmas present for a special someone 😍
