View Full Version : Would you buy vegan cookies on Ebay?

I was looking around ebay and saw the people are selling homemade cookies. There are also people selling vegan cookies, though not homemade. And I *love* to bake and a little extra money is always fun, so I'm thinking about baking vegan cookies to sell. I'm not sure how well they would go over though.

Would anybody be interested in buying homemade vegan cookies?

Not from Ebay -- it's too much like buying them from a neighbor with a messy front yard.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy them unless I personally knew the person. It seems a bit risky.

Yeah, I was afraid of people thinking it was risky. I would have never thought of it if I hadn't seen homemade non vegan cookies on there. Anyways, I wasn't sure how well it'd go over-that's why I'm asking.

i sold homemade vegan goods on ebay last year, and also through livejournal and other places online (here, for instance). but people know my name and trust me in those places. i doubt i would have gotten so much business had i not had an internet rep' people trusted.

Yeah, I don't really have an internet rep (yet)-at least not in the vegan community.

Probably not, seems like they'd be easy enough to make and for some reason people jack the prices on cookies way up. Just be sure you're familiar with eBay's policies for selling food...

I would buy them from Kreeli because of her internet rep. But anyone else, probably not. How can you be sure they are vegan? They could be lying.

I've bought cookies from Kreeli before... :) But yeah, that was only because I knew her and and she needed financial help, and her website has some rave recipes.

Not from Ebay...but from the veggie boards I frequent, sure!

True.

Well, since nobody really seems open to the idea, I guess I won't be doing it. Thanks for the input!
