Welcome to the Vintage Reseller Vlog by Karen Libo from vintagedazzle.etsy.com! In this vlog, I take you on a journey through my daily activities as a vintage reseller on Etsy and eBay. Join me as I showcase the items I've sold, provide updates on my recent listings, and share personal adventures along the way.
Selling on Etsy and eBay
As a vintage reseller, I have the pleasure of curating and selling unique items from the past. It's always exciting to connect with customers who appreciate the charm and history of vintage pieces. I primarily sell on Etsy and eBay, where I feature a wide range of items, from jewelry to home decor.
