Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace. Use Etsy only if you can confirm it is over 20 years old (unlikely); local marketplace is best to avoid shipping fragile ceramic.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Coastal Decor,' 'Mermaidcore,' 'Turquoise Fish,' and 'Crackle Glaze.' Photograph against a clean white background to make the color pop. Wrap heavily in bubble wrap for shipping as the fins are prone to snapping.
