ok ladies I have a question, I am thinking about making bows to sell again and I was wondering if it would be better to sell on ebay or etsy!! Which one do you think would be a better investment..

I have a store on etsy right now. I have issues with ebay every since they changed their rules on feedback & charges. Plus etsy charges much less & your listing stays up much longer.

Well, my experience is that unfortunately Ebay seems to be a lot faster to sell. Etsy can be quite slow. Mind you, I haven't been on etsy all that long though so I have to give a chance. Ebay's fees are a pain in the butt but I've just lifted my prices a bit to cover the cost.
Why don't you start up an etsy store and see how it goes and if you're not happy then go to ebay.

Etsy is 20 cents to list & it stays up for I think 6 weeks for that price. You still have FVF to pay when you sell.
