Have any of you used Etsy to sell your photos? If so, have you been successful?

I can only tell you what my friend has done..
I have no experience what so ever ....

One of my friends sell hers as downloads only on Etsy
by the time she paid her upload fee and then the 3% + of what Etsy takes, she had very little profit left over.. she has told me that she has sold more on Stock photos and their downloads and have had success that way ( she does commercial type photography and logo stuff), but doesn't do well enough to supplement income, only petty cash kind of thing..

I haven't sold anything on Etsy but you can get information via other user info on Etsy. I searched photography and then randomly selected an image. The seller has been on etsy since Feb 2008, she has sold over 1400 prints and she has over 500 reviews. So she is averaging over 220 sales a year. Here is the link to MaleahTorney's page. When you scroll to the bottom page for the item there is a seller info link and this is were the history is. Sorry I couldn't help out more.

I haven't sold anything with easy but I do have regular sales on fineartamerica, you should check them out. They have a free version where you can upload something like 20 images or you can pay a small fee yearly to have unlimited uploads.

What kind of images sell, and for (about) how much? Do you have a referral link?

I don't believe the site does referral links, none that I could find anyway. I have sold mostly landscapes but I have also sold this once

It really is quite a variety of styles that sell, they have recent sales on the front page and it is often something different all the time. As for sales the income depends on what product the buyer chooses. I have made $6 from a greeting card up to over $100 for a large canvas. You can set your own markups and run specials so it is really what you want to sell for. It takes awhile to get paid though as they allow a month for returns (no problems with that yet) so if I sold something on the 16th I end up waiting 2 months to get paid. I think it is worth looking into though.

My site they set up with paid membership

The regular site where most of my sales come from anyway
