I'm not real smart on this subject myself. I have been making blankets and aprons and other things and hope to sell them at craft fairs so thought that might be an idea for you. I looked up (on my computer) the dates for the upcoming craft fairs in my area and hope to be ready for the next one. I think I'll need to get a business liscense to sell my stuff though but someone said they're cheap, if anything, to get. And, the last time I was on ebay, there was a notice that it was free to sell on ebay. Don't know if that was just for a window of time or a new change to their policies.

. . . Do you have an extra room in your home?? Or a huge storage room? Well then if you do why don't you transform it into a plushie house! Fill it with plushies and when kids go into the room blow some bubbles to make it look like a doll house !

I was thinking to sell at craft fairs only, cause I think online is too much work. and I don't have an extra room in my house. I could I have more info on selling licence?

You could always donate some to charities. There are a lot of toy drives in the winter.
If you sell at craft fairs, you shouldn't need a license. Look into craft sales at liberal arts colleges and other schools--you might be able to sell through something like that.

I sell at street fairs near me, but I've never had to have a business license? I just have to pay for the booth space. Try calling the # for the event & ask what you need to sell there.
For online selling you could also check out Etsy.
As for storage, you could put them all in storage bins in a closet? Lol All my plushies just clutter all over my room.

you could always throw in a bonus plushie in any swaps that you do... maybe instead of candy or tea (if you aren't into those things)
