    Before I registered with Etsy, I read a lot of the bumph and they
    seemed to be saying that handmade also included goods that were put
    together from premade parts. I quote from their site: 

    What items can I sell on Etsy? 

        You can sell anything that is handmade or, a bit more loosely
        put, hand-assembled or hand-altered. For example, screen-printed
        shirts are OK. A custom-built computer is OK, as long as you're
        making the case and not buying prefab. Furniture is OK as long as
        it's nothing mass- produced (yes, you can use power tools to
        build it). If your human hands put some love into the object,
        odds are you can sell it on Etsy. Reselling of handmade items is
        not allowed. Please note: we do allow some non-handmade items in
        the Supplies and Vintage categories; they must be tagged
        appropriately. Check out the DOs and DON'Ts of Etsy (under
        Selling) for detailed rules. 

    It still seems to be a fairly good platform for selling jewellery
    though, and there are some individuals doing very well from their
    Etsy stores.
