BEWARE: They treat sellers like garbage! I sell stuff on Etsy. They have the worst customer service for sellers I have ever seen. I can't even believe they operate like this. These people have cost me a lot of money refunding things to scammers. For example, the scammer buys something from you, claims that it was damaged, complain to you, and you send them a replacement. The scammer then opens a case with Etsy and immediately escalate it so Etsy approves a refund right away without even talking to the seller about it. CRAZY. They don't check the history of the order either! Meanwhile, the seller sent a replacement, so now they are out of 2 pieces of merchandise and HAD TO PAY A REFUND to the scammer! You present evidence of it and Etsy just ignores it. There is NOBODY to talk to. They cancelled their 1-800 number too. They would rather have a happy customer than a happy shop owner because it's hard for the shop owner to leave their reviews behind. They don't care the least bit about sellers and just stick them with hefty fees. You can't even opt out of not advertising - they force it on you if you make more than $10K from your store - now they have you locked in! They advertise for you at your cost without permission. They send you surveys all the time claiming to be bettering themselves but treat their sellers like GARBAGE. Stay away from this horrible marketplace!

Caveat emptor A decade ago, I would definitely have recommended Etsy for finding fun, funky, unique, creative handmade things. But lately it's nothing more than another storefront for unknown sellers. I gave up.

all in the love of the 6.5% ... its gross have you ever noticed how many jewlery shops come out of India on Etsy? i feel like every ring I click on comes from a shop out of India. the majority of the shops have less than quality products, horrible shipping without any tracking number. After a little bit of searching I found out that etsy makes 6.5% of ever sale. There is not an email address anywhere to be found. it all made me so mad that etsy will let the same people make shop after shop after shop, same person, selling the same thing, with a different name just to get their 6.5% of each sale. Shame on you etsy for exploiting your customers. This is an American greed company. I jumped ship.

Awesome Etsy I am honestly a little bit obsessed with Etsy! I have never had any complaints about any of the MANY vendors. Etsy has been the best online shopping experience for me. Not to mention the countless items available.

great!! Great place for various homemade items from printables, clothes, and crafts. I love how your able to buy and support from small businesses ran by individuals. Great if your wanting to make a shop page and sell a product yourself.

Love Etsy I love Etsy. It's the first place I go to look for unique and handmade gifts for my loved ones. Also great for crafting supplies.

I am a huge fan of etsy. I love supporting local businesses, and this is a platform to do so. I also love that you can get unique pieces, often at a fraction of the cost that they would go for in retail!

I love Etsy! You can browse for anything! I absolutely love handmade and vintage goods and I literally can find it all on Etsy!

You can find anything on here or sell. I love it

Absolutely recommend Etsy for anyone who wants to sell their products. I have a few friends that do quite well using this site

Awesome site for anyone who loves crafts or likes unique handmade items. Always something new and exciting

I absolutely love Etsy. I check new products on this website almost every day and I am always surprised by the vast amount of choices and items that you can find! Everything is so unique and it is nearly impossible to be at a loss for what you are looking for. You do need to be careful though if you are short of time because some of the products are from China and can take a month or so for them to get to you. Other than that, Etsy is wonderful and you should most definitely give it a chance!

Etsy is amazing. You can pretty much find anything there. I also enjoy having my own shop. It is an easy way to sell my products with very reasonable fees. I could browse Etsy all day.

So great if you're creative and trying to make money, or trying to find a one of a kind gift or decoration for your house.

I use Etsy quite frequently to find the perfect gifts for my family.
