"I just like to create, so I've been making dolls since I was little," Eusebio said. "I think dolls are good companions. They help girls work out their problems and learn to become better friends."  

Eusebio began selling on Etsy in 2010—during a period in which the website's reach and sales nearly doubled. In 2011, Etsy generated about $525.6 million in sales and today, it hosts more than 800,000 shops, according to the company. It chargers sellers a listing fee and collects a percentage of each sale.
