Etsy.com: A Store for Handmade Crafts

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

I came across Etsy while stumbling the sites. I liked what I saw and added it in my favorites on stumble upon. Etsy is an online store where one can sell and buy hand crafted materials such as scarves, gifts, pottery, belts, bags, soaps, candles, clothes etc. Registration is free. Buyer doesn’t have to pay a fee to the store whereas if you are selling, then you pay 20 cents per listed item and a 3.5% fees on sold items.
Why I like the site:Unlike e-bay or other buying-selling sites, etsy is dedicated to promote handcrafted stuff which is unique and trustworthy. As one seller points out, the big corporations like Wal mart have wiped the handmade products. But those who value quality over quantity, and who want to stand out in the crowd still buy products that have an individual identity.
