Etsy the new Ebay ?

[GoldRapt]

Hi all,
I was reading on another forum a consensus of opinion about Etsy and how it is moving upmarket from crafter type people to more traders who normally sell on eblag.

It got me to wondering and a quick search here gave back very little mention of etsy let alone those actually using it as an alternative to Ebay.

SO I thought I would pose the question "How many members here sell through Etsy" and, if anyone is, if they could perhaps give an informed opinion of it's worth from that prospective?

Is it as good a marketing tool, are the rules as strange as I have been lead to believe etc etc.

Regards
Tony

i tried a few items on there for my embroidery and didn't sell anything at all.

it's like most sites it takes a while to get big who knows watch this space

i really do hope someone knows flebay off the market

I have been to a members site that uses Etsy. The member is Gelert. Perhaps you can PM him and ask if he doesnt see and reply to this thread first.
