We all have a talent that we are good at and we think about how we can make something from it and also to make a little bit for ourselves. It's very easy to do and you can findemnify plenty of video's on YouTube to help you.
I love to make handmade cards, some people make cakes, jewellery, dummy clips ect ect. I am thinking about selling some of my handmade cards for less than what they sell them on the shops. And that is something you will need to think about is your price.
You need to make them cheap for your customers otherwise they won't buy from you. The other thing you will need to think about is making sure that you don't fall in the "self employed". You won't be classed as "self employed" unless you pay someone to help you. You also don't come under "self employed" if you are selling something that is a hobby.
The good way to sell something is in a group or page on facebook also making a website for your products. Some websites you have to pay eachieve month a fee and there are others that do it for free. I would always do payments by PayPal, bank transfer or cash on collection. Always make sure that payment is made before the product has been sent or collected as that way you are covering yourself.
Always give a time line on when the order needs to be made by so that way you are giving yourself time to get anything that you made need and also time for you to make it. Always start off slow until you get enough intrest then you can start making it grow.
Remember people need to get to know you and trust you. Put pictures of your items to show your work. People will see you and start buying from you if the price is right. Also ask for feedback for other people who might buy from you so that they know its real and not fake.
I hope my advice helps you.
