[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 648087, member: 805"] Instagram - it's an app for sharing pictures. However, small business have gotten smart and use it to have "flash sales" and to direct interested buyers to their Etsy, website or Facebook stores. Kinda like Facebook, you have followers on Instagram - people who like your style, your pics, have things in common with you etc. My daughter has a bunch of followers who love that kind of things she sells and collects. She will sit down and take a bunch of pictures of products she wants to sell. She will "advertise" she is having a flash sale (listing a bunch of items quickly one after the other - you have to be really well prepared with the pics and descriptions) the day before or earlier that day. She will post her rules (first person to leave their email and zip code in the comment section is the winner -- if you don't pay within 24 hours, the item is lost, etc). What happens is that she begins posting the items with descriptions and prices (either including shipping or plus shipping). Folks who want to buy the item leave their email that is associated with their paypal account and their zip code in case the item is plus shipping. After the flash sale - which, depending on the number of times can last between 30 minutes and a couple hours - she will go back and screen shot the emails then delete them from the feed. She then invoices the email address through paypal. The customer pays and then she ships. So she pays the paypal fee but there is no listing fee. That's basically how it works. [/QUOTE]
