congratulations!
PS. You might want to raise your prices... Etsy takes 20 cents commission on each item, plus 6.5% of the order total... so you may lose money on shipping if you sell something for 45 cents.

They do? It's only 20 cents per listing, better than ebay but they take a percentage after the sale?

20 cents per listing (item) PLUS a percentage. Etsy only takes 6.5%, while ebay takes 13.5%.

And you have to pay for their advertising services if you really want to get business. I learned that the hard way...

Is there a way to consolidate shipping when purchasing multiple individual fly trap cutting?

It looks like if you purchase more than one, it charges double shipping, I have to change the shipping to custom, I'll have to do that when I get home. Sorry!
