We've made big changes for sellers at The Teddy Patch.

There is plenty of bad news in the world today...

• A U. S. recession appears imminent and prices of everything are rising. 
• Unemployment is increasing.
• The United State is at war.
• The consequence of higher oil prices automatically translates into high prices for consumer goods.
• U.S. Postal Service shipping costs went up 4-8% for 2008.
• Our planet is threatened by global warming.
• The collectibles secondary market has gone soft
• Collectors are scaling back their purchases and attendance at shows is down
• Artists are doing what they can to cut costs

Its time for some good news.  We know as artists and sellers, you are doing your best to cut operating and sales expenses.  This is what we're doing to help:

• The Teddy Patch has eliminated all listing fees!
• List all your items with absolutely no financial risk!
• If your items don't sell, you don't pay!
• We will only charge a nominal final fee for any items that sell.
• Stores and advertising prices have also been drastically reduced!

Why are we making these changes?  Shouldn't we be raising our prices in response to everything else?

Yes, perhaps we should, but we feel the artists and sellers out there need a financial break for a change and we want to be at the front line of the effort!  So, effective immediately, all Teddy Patch listings are absolutely free!   
The idea that one must often "go in the hole" to sell one's wares has go to stop!

Prices are going high enough everywhere else...and it stops right here at The Teddy Patch!  Listing options are also free; add extra pictures, highlight your auctions, use special features such as buy-now...at no charge...zero, zip, Nada!   A nominal final fee will be charged for any items that sell.  Please see our Site Fees page for all the particulars.

We hope you will join us soon and see what a difference FREE can make!
