way too much dropshipped stuff
ALWAYS do a reverse google search before you buy anything on Etsy. Half of the time I find the item on Aliexpress for a fraction of the cost and it turns out the Etsy shop is just a Dropshipping front masquerading as “small artisan homemade”. Etsy’s reliability has completely gone down the drain and I only use it as a last resort or when I buy from a shop that’s been vetted by other people I know. The cross stitch market here is also FULL of stolen designs. I do extensive research before buying anything because I want to make sure I’m buying from the actual artist instead of a seller who stole someone else’s design. If you’re a seller, make sure you put soft copyrights on anything you sell because Etsy will not support you when you find out someone’s stolen your creation. Also, make sure you’re regularly changing your password. My friend got hacked and her account stolen, it took 2 months and a Better Business Bureau complaint to finally get Etsy to respond to her.
Etsy needs to increase their seller percentage for better “customer experience” great maybe you can actually take down the stolen designs and answer stolen account emails in less than 2 months.Show lessLiz S 88
Star Seller Badge
As a shop on Etsy since 2017, I find this star seller badge ridiculous. If you get spam messages from scammers and delete instead of replying, then you get bad ratings for your messaging and lose your badge. Another example is that I sold two items I had listed on Etsy to my coworker. She wanted to support me and leave me a good review. Instead of paying for shipping which is stupid, I handed her the package at work and hit the option when I “shipped” it as “other” for the method. The problem now is that Etsy took my stupid badge away because I didn’t provide tracking information for these two sales. Because I hand delivered it. You can see that she left me great reviews so obviously she was happy with her items. Thank you Etsy for making it harder for small business. Other then this the app is great if you only buy stuff and do not sell things.Show lessPaarthurnax0920
Love love love Etsy however……. Inappropriate items
I love Etsy. I’ve had no issues with items, the app, nor the sellers. I love it. I don’t know why I waited so long to use Etsy. However my only complaint is there’s very inappropriate items that pop in my recommendations. If you want to buy these items, fine, I’m not a prude but please whatever makes these items pop up when I do not look up anything close to this needs to be in a 18+ section or something needs to be put so I can take this off. I type in jewelry or perfume for my mum, I look through the necklaces, rings etc. The next day nipple rings with breast pics is suggested in the “explore your interest “ ummmm What? Why? . Then adult devices are recommended also!!!!! People can buy and do whatever in the privacy of their home but I have no interest in buying any of that. Please fix this! I’m tired of seeing this.Show lessDugbuynjmede
Banana clips with fabric
I love this Etsy shop and have always been extremely happy with all of the products that I have purchased. I have been using this type of-clips for20 years and when they fell from popularity, I was devastated. I lived in Florida and when humidity did that awful thing to my hair I could pull it back to match my outfit and looked pulled together.. everyone noticed and paid me great compliments. Then I found these! yea!
Last year I lost all of my beautiful hair due to cancer and a Bone Marrow Transplant. Needless to say, I no longer used my clips and put them away in my Atlanta home in hopes to use them again. Well, I’m in my Florida home and the humidity is as usual wreaking havoc to my hair. Wonderful news, I found one if my wonderful clips… more wonderful news… my hair is Just long enough to use it. Thank you for this wonderful product that cheers me up every time I use it!Show lessSusanLVal
Creative gifts
I love Etsy. First off I enjoy helping out other artists and individuals more than big corporations. I have had some wonderful quality items I’ve given as gifts or kept for myself. The layout is easy to use. You can buy the item straight away or put it in the cart and buy all the items together. Some shops give discounts on multiple item orders. Etsy shows you which shops have items on sale and how many other people have that particular listing in their cart. You can favorite a shop or an item that you can easily go back to later. You’re able to put those items in a group, which is useful in the form of gifts you have in mind for one person or event like Christmas. These groups seem to be unlimited as I already have a bunch I’ve made. You have seller and buyer feedback and you can contact your seller. They show similar items to what you’re looking for on the same page. You are able to see turnaround time and the general location area of the shop, then pay through credit card or PayPal which makes it convienient.Show lessjaynelefavi

Hello, happy to hear that you like the items you purchased and that you are satisfied with the services offered by the sellers here on Etsy. Please reach out to us, if you have other suggestions or concerns. Thank you and be safe!The best place to shop for beautiful, unique, vintage or hand-crafted treasures!
You will find amazing items in all virtually categories, here in Etsy. Some will seem over-priced, but some—a lot—will have prices that seem too-good-to-be-true. The great majority of shops sell creations that you will never find in any department store, so Etsy Is the perfect place to shop for people who seem to have everything. So they think! Unique, one-of-a-kind delights at prices that seem like a dream-fantasy. That’s what you’ll find here. From all over the world! Literally. And if you don’t find it, someone will make it for you. But shopaholics and shopping-lovers beware. I can spend an entire day or night browsing Etsy even when I’m not in the market to buy anything. It’s an infinite visual and eclectic tour of the work of artisans from every corner and nook/cranny of this earth! And it’s fascinating...Show lesserrborn
awesome but pls stop
so I have this problem where I saw one inappropriate thing, specifically inappropriate anime stickers, and reported it. ive never looked at anything like that before, i only ever look at pokemon, enamel pins, and stickers(that dont have anything to do with nasty things! though i might’ve ACCIDENTALLY tapped on an inappropriate picture ONCE. but accidentally! i never wanted to) BUT, since I had to view it to report it, the kept showing me more, and more, and more, and suggesting searches about it. ive sent like 23 angry reports on the same items over and over again because I don’t wanna see them. So, I’m suggesting that, if someone reports something, they most likely don’t like it and don’t wanna see anymore of it, so if you take away the feature where it registers reported items as recently veiwed, that wouldnt be a problem and things like it wouldnt be suggested. But, great app overall, I love the handmade items and looking at everyone’s creativity and being able to buy it and support them.Show lessdrag0nprotector
Sellers ignore messages unless you buy!!!
Man, I LOVE Etsy. And I mean LOVE! I really like to support artists, worldwide. I find unique and handmade items that fit my wants and personality. You can’t do that anywhere else. Unfortunately, I am finding sellers don't check their inbox unless you have purchased from them. The kicker, they have coupons automatically sent to you if you have favorited an item or put it into your cart. I was trying to order an unique wedding band for my fiancé but accidentally put two of them in my cart and instead of removing one, I deleted both. Which, in turn made that size ‘unavailable’ when I tried to go back and add it again. I messaged the seller to let him know what I did. I was in a time crunch bc I needed the ring shipped before the ceremony. Here we are weeks later and he still hasn’t opened my message! But hey, thanks for the stupid coupon I won’t use!! Yes, I went with a different seller and unfortunately can’t leave a negative review for the non responsive one.
Last week, I messaged a seller that makes beautiful custom leather journals. I had a question about the personalization. My message sat in her inbox and was never opened. This is VERY frustrating and I won’t support sellers that are too busy to read messages from potential buyers. Hate to break it to you, but we ALL are busy!Show lessNeoncolors27

Thank you and stay safe!How can you NOT Love ETSY?
This site has grasped my heart from the first time I visited it several years ago. I had first heard of it through a cousin who’s daughter was making the most intricate jewelry and was showcasing it on ETSY. I figured let me have a look. I have to warn you, this site is addicting. My husband who can’t stand flea markets, and as he says peoples old junk loves me to show him things on ETSY. Plus it’s not just the VINTAGE items. Its the Artisans that comprise so much of what you see on here. The first time I witnessed a person who took an old Novel and folded the pages into a Heart. Another who used spoons to make a piece of functional decor. Just so much. All so beautiful and special. The first time I witnessed a hand and arm crochet chunky blanket! This is what ETSY is about. I love so much I could go on and on. My favorite has to be the Books that are wrapped. How awesome is that. You receive a Vintage Novel wrapped uniquely. Now I want to go “surprise” myself with that! Here’s to having a bunch of lovely, wonderful and inspiring experiences on ETSY!🌻Show lessSusieQ 71561
Customer Service Excellence
I reached out to this boutique as I was looking for something unique for my son’s baseball Senior night. The shop owner replied within minutes. The responsiveness of this boutique is outstanding. Because I wanted something unique I supplied thoughts of what I was looking for. Once again within minutes I received a few drafts of options. If there was something I liked but not crazy about something within proposed design, shop within minutes sent another draft. I just placed my order for two custom shirts and I cannot wait to receive them. I will be sure to update and include pictures. I needed to express my gratitude for this small business just based on the responsiveness and desire to ensure their clients are happy with final product regardless of the time invested to get their! Excellent job, Craft and Sparrow! I look forward to future shopping with you!!!Show lessMy2Mykees
