Not a terrible freelance site; you can sell fixed-price bundles of services (seller setting the price, not the site) as well as bidding on jobs, and you can offer physical products too, like drawings in hard copy and such.
If you have a site of your own, you can get an on-page widget that shows your profile so readers can click through and buy from you right there-handy for copywriters and those in similar jobs, since you can list your finished projects and testimonials and put the widget next to them for easier sales.
You can also stand out by paying for service profiles which turn up first in a search.
