I like Etsy, I buy a lot through it and I recommend it. What I don't like is Etsy not enforcing its own regulations. One such rule says that sellers are not allowed to sell items that mock or demean any group or religion. Several Etsy sellers sell "art" that mocks Christianity. If they sold posters, prints and other items that mocked Islam, for example, you can bet those sellers would get an earful from Etsy.
Etsy is full of fraud and scammers. Their contradictory policies enabled a particular scam but they don't care to fix the problem. They won't refund my money, even though I follower their explicit policy, and they refuse to even make any changes to stop the same scam from continuing. Not to mention the site now flooded with cheap cr*p from overseas. Buyer beware. Avoid.
Bought a mother of the bride dress which unfortunately was too small. No fuss to send it back and ordered the same dress in a larger size. Very impressed that the on line chat is manned out of normal hours.
The cashout speed is awesome! I love the variety of ways I can utilize the app's system! I recommend this app to everyone i come across. Most of the time, they're reluctant to try it out... until i show them my earnings!

I ordered a digital document from one of the vendors and received it instantly. They accept PayPal payment which was very convenient for me. The budget template has been really helpful for me. As a student, I have been struggling managing my finances and identifying areas of waste, but am slowly getting that under control. Etsy allows vendors to list their products and also determine their prices. This includes digital items such as excel templates, word document templates, etc.

I really enjoy shopping on Etsy. I shop mostly for digital crochet patterns, and both the search and the purchase experience are great. Very important for me is being able to pay with credit card without paypal, which I don't have.

I bought several smaller items from Etsy from various sellers. I didn't have any issues. All of my items I ordered are as described and arrived more or less around the expected delivery date. However, I always check if a seller has a good track record and decent reviews. My favorite purchase from Etsy is a plant, Alocasia Reginula Black Velvet, that bloomed right after a month. To sum it up: I'm happy with Etsy.

I only needed it to adjusted the color a little bit, everything else is very good.And not even a scratch. This TV look brand-new. Thank you very much! Highly recommend you (seller)
I purchased a wooden heart wall decor. It is even nicer than I anticipated. I will be sure to shop on Etsy again. You might want to check out www.curtisandfoster.com. I am very happy and completely satisfied. You can't go wrong! I will definitely shop from then again.

If you know someone like me where they're really into crystals then I recommend you go and get them a Valentines Crystal box. I received this last year as a gift from a friend and I absolutely loved it, it was such a cute and fun surprise. Not to mention, the packaging was just absolutely adorable. It's definitely a good way to gift a friend something they love while being in theme with the occasion. I wish I took a picture of it when I got it but this example from Etsy is basically the same as the one I received.
Etsy has a lot of cool stuff from small business that you cannot normally find, so i really recommend shopping from there for things like art work, room decor, DIY objection (earrings, necklace etc). Shipping is relatively fast depending on how soon the seller ships out the product, but its a super safe platform to purchase from!
Smooth and easy process to buy. Thank you and will be looking for more deals on your site in the future. Staff is so friendly, they make you feel like home. I've purchased several timepieces from them and I highly recommend them.
Great place place to buy custom made product. I have ordered multiple times and every time I was very satisfied with the goods I received. I can recommend them.
Just received my Roggmard kitchen backsplash panel. It arrived right on time and in great shape.
It was easy to attach to the wall and now it looks lovely.
You can find just about anything you could possibly want on Etsy. I had heard of them before but just never bothered to check them out until about a month ago and now I'm completely addicted!
The jewelry especially is just exquisite and the prices are very on par for what you're getting.
They can be a little expensive on other items but you really do get what you pay for. My only complaint is the crazy high cost of shipping through them.
Otherwise I definitely suggest checking them out, I'm certain you'll like Etsy too!
Tip for consumers:
Just pay attention to the shopping costs

Remember that reviews can be subjective, and it's always a good idea to read multiple reviews and consider the overall consensus before making a purchasing decision. Additionally, it's important to be cautious of any potential fake or biased reviews, as they can exist on any review platform.
Etsy was very helpful when I had to open a case concerning an item that i purchased from a seller on the site, the Etsy team took care of this situation in a timely matter and they do show true concern.
Thank You,

And their leather bags are very very good
Some dresses seem pretty too
They blocked china
Still a very nice shop
I've purchased from Etsy Canada many times and feel they are very concerned about the quality of there products and customer service.
I had one item which didn't fit and when I contacted them, I had a refund within 2 days.
This is a very reputable company with fantastic service.
I would highly recommend them.
Thanks

A family member sent me a lovely wooden plaque for my front door. It is round with a beautiful bow and our last name on it. The gift was made by a friend of hers whose business is "That's What She Made". Check her out - I love it.

I purchased a onesie from GooberPrints. I was very impressed with the owner, Troy. He was personal and professional. He very promptly answered my questions and the item was delivered in a timely manner. It was exactly what I ordered and came perfectly and safely packaged. The onesie is a shower gift and I am anxious to be the giver of such a high quality and very personal item. I will most definitely do business with GooberPrints again. Thank you...Jill Kapala
I've made multiple purchases from Etsy and every single transaction has been great experience! The selection they offer is so varied I could spend hours looking through all the wonderful items. Every purchase felt secure and all items were received in a timely manner. What a great place to showcase small business goods!
I love Etsy very much, it's like a galaxy where I can find amazing, original and beautiful items. You just have to find the right seller (like Amazon, Aliexpress etc.) and I've never been disappointed. I have ordered several times and my parcels have always arrived. In the parcel some sellers don't hesitate to make a cute packaging and give some free gifts. This is really important to buy from sellers who are created they items handmades with a lot of patience & love.
