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.

Not a big fan. The site is ok but doesn't really pull me in

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.
