Etsy.com New Marketplace For Handmade Items
So...has anyone tried this site?
The site just opened in June and is a fixed price venue for handmade items with about 7000 items listed. Sellers get their own storefront. No listing or FVF fees until November 1st, and then $0.20 per item and a 3.5% FVF. The site actually is well made (i.e. they didn't just go out and spend $200 for phpprobid, slap a logo on an out of the box program, and declare themselves the next ecommerce megasite :twistedevil: )
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"
"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site. best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011 |

I like the design, and lots of items already!
It looks like I can't list my canvases there though! I am interested to see how it does. |

They're not trying to be the next eBay but are trying to cover an area where eBay may be weak. Maybe they read one of the Guerilla Selling books. |

Re: Etsy.com New Marketplace For Handmade Items
I LOVE IT. Its good smooth site.
Glad to see feebay down too. I put a few items up there. Some lookers so far but no buyers. But I'm sure more and more are looking to do OTHER than feebay. Their mouses are doing the ing No Doubt. Web site sales are up and more folks are just about DONE dealing with feebay. Sellers are pissed, buyers are pissed. It's just a matter of time.

Re: Etsy.com New Marketplace For Handmade Items
I'm surprised they named Become.com a shopping pick. Do a search for Tulips. #1 is one of our sites.
