Made it myself

Hi everyone, just wondering if you guys have heard about madeitmyself.com?? I have done some research and have discovered that you can sell your handmade items here for a mere 3% of the sale and at the moment it is free( my favorite word,lol) to list your items. I have spent the last couple of nights uploading pics and filling out descriptions for my cards so i hope this goes well. If not hasn't cost me anything,just my time. If anyone is already selling on made it myself i would love to hear how that's going and any tips you might have for me. Thanks. Have a fun day :)
