Etsy.com is for buyers and sellers of unique, homemade goodness

Every day computer user, a city dweller, online shopper

JUN

2008

Etsy.com was introduced to me by a stylist and good friend, Taryn Bickley. (Check out her site: http://www.tarynbickley.com/) As an independent stylist herself, Taryn is all about supporting up and comers. So am I. Etsy is the perfect spot to find beautiful creations by undiscovered talent. — So I tell my fashion-minded friend Taryn that I'm in the market for the perfect summer tote. As any true girlfriend and style diva should, she emailed me a list of several selections she thought would fit my style and personality. Many of her tote recommendations were products on Etsy. I… read full review »

Quality handmade items

a bargain hunter, appreciative of good service, not rich, noticing the details

AUG

2007

Etsy is a site for people who make their own merchandise. I generally browse through the jewelry but there is a huge variety. It's easy to buy and sell on this site. I have an etsy store, though I have not tried to sell anything yet. I like to go on to look for gifts, such as nice soaps. There are so many creative ideas that make your gift so personal! You can also contact people if you like their style to see if they'll work with you to create something… read full review »

This site is so good to buy and sell art!

Artist, an art lover

2008

I sell my own work here, or at least it's listed here, just haven't made any sales yet. But it has "great" artwork/artists if you're looking for a special gift or artwork to hang in your home. It's easy to list your own work and VERY affordable. I can get lost in this site soooo easily, just surfing through all the wonderful artists' work! I highly recommend it to both buyers and sellers of… read full review »

One of a Kind, Original Handmade Goods

a bargain hunter, not rich, an art lover, Crafter, online shopper, constantly online

NOV

2007

Etsy offers handmade goods, such as clothing, greeting cards, photography, paintings, etc. It is nice to know that your are getting something that is basically one of a kind. Many of the items listed are very affordable for unique pieces, but some do lean on the more pricey side. So if your a bargain hunter like me this may not be the first site you want to look up when looking for clothing. —… read full review »

Etsy is your place to buy and sell all things handmade!

APR

2008

In Jan. of this year I discovered a site called ETSY. It is similar to an auction/sales site. On Etsy your dont have to bid and prices are clearly posted on all items in all shops. You can find anything that can be handmade for sale here, or the supplies to make your creations come to life! — But etsy is so much more than a place to shop. There are forums and learning labs. There are chat rooms and news articles. I learn something new about this site everytime I log on! I can't tell you how excited I am to see whats new here! — I recently started selling my own… read full review »

Etsy is a feast for the eyes and fuels the creative spirit! — I, as an artist and art shopper alike, was thrilled when a friend told me about Etsy. I like Ebay, but I believe that on Ebay, handmade, quality artwork gets lost-in-the-sauce with all of the other stuff on there. I also think it gets a bit devalued because Ebay is a place for bargains. Etsy is a place for art. Sellers on Etsy can charge reasonable prices for their vision and work and are helped by the fact that others are selling and pricing items in the same genre....everyone is charging fair (not to… read full review »

If you haven't found Etsy yet...check it out NOW. It is the most extraordinary thing to hit online shopping, I think, since ebay. Etsy is a collection (a huge collection) of artists, craftspeople, and generally extraordinarily creative folk who post their wares for purchase from all over the world. This is not cheesy crafts, mind you...many, many of the people are professional artists. It is a wonderful resource for holiday shopping for those of us with tiny budgets...and a place where you can find trendy stuff that will appeal to the young and like me, old but… read full review »

Etsy.com has got to be one of the best places for crafters and artists of nearly any type of item to sell their items on-line. The site is a conglomeration of nearly any type of crafted item you can think of including vintage items! I sell vintage items, my handcrafted items and crafting supplies on etsy as well as another large auction website (can you guess which one? lol) and I have better results selling on Etsy than I do with the other place! And Etsy costs less in the long run and the community is just great! The forums are a wealth of… read full review »

I heard about this site through my sister about a year and a half ago. I never thought that I would love it so much! I have gotten things handmade for me that I couldn't get anywhere else. Whatever you want you can post it in one of the forums and get whatever you want made by professionals! The work that some of these people do is outstanding. There are crafts on here I never even thought about until I went on this site. Everytime I go on this site I look for things to buy! — — Best site ever! — Nothing better than something… read full review »

As a buyer and a seller, Etsy is my go-to venue. The products there are made by people who really care about what they do. From all-natural soaps and bath products to pottery, to fabulous paintings and jewelry, there is something for everyone. It is especially nice to deal directly with the makers. Many shops are happy (even thrilled) to take custom orders, so you can be sure to get exactly what you want. The site itself is close to a year out of beta, so it is still growing and can use all the publicity it can… read full review »

This site is similar to ebay, minus the auction process, because you can find many unique items in all categories. I have bought several items from Etsy and all of the seller's had great communication, personalized items (like fabric and to the size I wanted, not just limited to what's listed), great quality and great prices. I would recommend this site to everyone. If you are lookiing for yourself or for a gift, you'll find great one of a kind items at… read full review »

What an awesome site to find right before Christmas! I may not be able to make it myself but I love things that are made by hand. There is so much to look at I don't think you could ever see it all but it's fun to try. Also, I have passed this site on to several friends who are talented and crafty. The procedure and price for selling things seems to be just right for someone trying it out for the first… read full review »

I was introduced to this site when a friend purchased a pair of earrings for me from Susan Marie Designs. I am totally enthralled by this website! They have so much to offer, although I do agree that the amount of "stuff" on this website can be overwhelming. If you are looking for interesting items at great prices, I highly recommend this site!… read full review »
