  • Etsy is the place to go!

    I love Etsy! If you’re looking for something, almost guaranteed you’re going to find it here. Gifts, home decor, wearables .. and everything I’ve ever bought has been perfect! Perfect for what I needed / wanted.

  • Love it, expensive much? Shipping bothering too, PLEASE READ

    My personal opinion.

    I absolutely love Etsy, they have such cute products and I love seeing all different brands and artists on Etsy selling all different sorts of cool stuff, but i honestly think that 39$ for a pair of frog earrings is a bit to much.
    I think that this would be a way to improve business, by taking down prices. I think it would improve business because some things on Etsy aren’t affordable for all, and I think a LOT more people would buy stuff, if it was less expensive. ( I know I would.) another thing is SHIPPING I orderd something to come in a week and it came three weeks late! Disappointing. I hope you and your community can work to make Etsy a better place for all— meaning, affordable for all, so timing correctly, and so much more.

    • Search Engine & Junk Sellers

      A lit of sellers complaining they are forced to offer free shipping and pay higher fees.

      Search engine is so basic and I’m really disappointed they haven’t made it more sophisticated like ebay. They have too much product, much of it mass produced junk that shouldn’t be on their and no way to wade through thousands of results.

      I’ve also left reviews with photos using my cell and they seem to vanish.

      Sounds more about profit than its original intent. I use it cause there’s no good alternative

    • No buyer protection from Etsy?

      Etsy let me get scammed by 3 different sellers in a row. I placed all the orders through the app and paid using PayPal on the app. Nothing said there could be a problem from doing this and other platforms have no problem either.

      When none of the orders arrived I contacted Etsy and they stated their policy clearly states I had to contact PayPal and open a case there. Etsy has no control over payments or the money taken from you. They throw their hands in the air and blame someone else. I like looking on the platform and would really like it if they could control the scams but they choose not to.

      It is difficult to contact customer support. They are not very professional or polite before dropping you. I’m really pretty surprised and let down overall. This is supposed to be where artists come to sell their stuff but if Etsy doesn’t protect buyers at all how can I buy anything safely.

      Etsy took me down a dark alley with scammers and left me there alone to get robbed and fend for myself. Pretty disappointed!

    • Some things need to be fixed

      One of my favorite apps, love it. But I hate the update because it’s has changed stuff that’s unnecessary . Example 1. When going into a list and adding one item already in that lists to another, it takes you back to the top of the lists. Example 2. They Changed where you can look at vids and now you can’t go it anymore. You have to wait for the vids to pop up on your homescreen instead of actually having a place where they stay.
      Example 3. They show the same things over and over on the home seen except showing something that you think you want. I look at things that are related and my whole home screen page is filled with the same stuff. I’d like variety. Example 4. Add more explore interests. Example 5. The editor picks take up almost all of the bottom of homescreen page.

    • Love Etsy handmade

      I love the variety of items available on Etsy and I like supporting independent creators. Years ago, the Etsy website had a feature that displayed random items , not based on prior purchases or searches. I forget what it was called but it was like a ā€œstumble uponā€ feature. I liked it so much because I would find things I never thought of before and I ordered a wide range of items. I wish the website had that feature again.

    • One recommendation for an otherwise great platform

      I have been using Etsy for years and love buying from small businesses. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences from the vendors and there are always so many new and creative items being posted every day. I prefer ā€œdoom scrollingā€ on Etsy to any other social media or seller platform.
      One thing I find very annoying is the massive amounts of updates I get. I don’t want to be notified every time a shop has an update. I want to be able to favorite a shop or item so that I can easily find them when I’m ready to make a purchase. Unfortunately, the only way to stop receiving the notifications is to unfavorite shops and items or to turn off app notifications altogether. I want to be notified if I get a message, though so that option is not favorable either.
      I get the marketing strategy, if you get a notification, you are more likely to open the app and, therefore, more likely to buy. However, I would rather unfavorite a shop or item to avoid the notifications. This is unfortunate for the shop owners because I know I’m not the only person who feels like this and it negatively impacts their sales. There are a lot of people who sell similar items and you aren’t guaranteed to easily find the same shop by searching for a particular item, unless you happen to remember the name of the shop.
      I wish there was a separate ā€œfollowā€ functionality if you do want to get those updates so favoriting items and shops could allow you to easily find and support particular sellers.
