ArtFire?

ArtFire is a relatively new online selling venue for handmade items and fine art. Artists can setup a small studio (10 items) for free or pay a small monthly fee for an unlimited studio. There are no fees to list or sell, so artists can charge less and save money.

I love their new Rapid Cart feature (see below) that lets you buy without complexly creating a sign-in name.

I'm hoping that ArtFire takes off in a big way. Read an interview with one of the site's founders here.

Citrus Slice
