Etsy is my go-to platform for unique, handcrafted items. Whether I'm looking for personalized gifts or one-of-a-kind home decor, Etsy never disappoints. The sellers on Etsy are incredibly talented, and I love supporting small businesses. Plus, the customer service has always been excellent whenever I've had questions or issues with my orders
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!

The three things I ordered are beautiful and sturdy. The print has a very nice frame. I wasn't expecting such great products. The hat is perfect! I love the way the sewing on it turned out!
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.

Perfect! I purchased a blanket, 4 pillows and a mouse pad! Will shop again! Love the fabric
Really good site to find new products online and easy to search what ever you need, much better then eBay
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.

Love, Love the sign we purchased from Love LLC.
Steve and Deanna are awesome. We had questions and they got right back to us. Can't wait to give it to my son and Daughter in-law for a house warming gift. Highly recommend!
I've purchased from well over 30 different sellers for different products, such as clothing, jewelry, tarot etc. And the transactions have always been safe. Whenever I have stumbled a scammer-type shop (as there are some bad cookies out there!) I do notify etsy support about it and they have replied with a cancellation of the order within 72 hours. There are so many unique sellers on etsy that I have to say you have to give it a shot!
I bought two weather vanes and they came very fast, like ridiculously fast and they were exactly what the website described them to be and I'm very happy.
I ordered a few tools for my kitchen - evething is new and durable, already 2 months working smoothly, thanks!

I found here hundreds of dresses in vintage style at available prices and good quality. So incredibly happy to find this place and from now on Ima stick to it!
I love Etsy!
I don't shop anywhere with poor reviews on the site. I have bought high valued items there. Vintage antique rings over $100.
No complaints or scams. I didn't have to deal with etsy customer service since the sellers I had were amazing. Answered all my questions and went over their policies via etsy chat. Depending on the seller, shop policies vary so be aware of that.
I will be starting my own shop soon. I have heard this is one of the safest selling platforms. I'll try and update after.
Tip for consumers:
read policies for each and every shop
stay away from sellers who are "ghosts"
I try and reach out to a seller prior to purchasing and read the most recent reviews. (preferably ones with pictures)
No reviews= not interested unless they are responsive to messages

Purchased a 14 kt gold 7 1/2" wrist chain from ClassyGlassandJeweles through the Esty.com website. The price was low and the quality high. I was impressed with how beautiful the wrist chain was. It was a perfect match to a 16" 14 kt gold neck chain I had also purchased through Esty.com.
Tip for consumers:
I have nothing but praise for this vendor. Fast, efficient, great quality, ridiculously low prices.

Bought a Handcrafted anti-bee design, very colorful, feeder from Yankee Glass Art.
I requested a return for a custom made unit and had full cooperation. Highly recommend their product and service. Bob K.
I love supporting people who create their own stuff. I've bought a lot of things off Etsy, from notebooks to plushies to face masks. I have never been disappointed with anything I've purchased. Where else could I go to get car window decals to show off my nerd pride? This has become my go-to website for fun gifts that are more customized for my friends.
I received my bunny butt today and it is cuter in person then online... beautifully made and priced. Jody and Amy are the best...
Over the years I've bought plenty of great clothes from the nicest woman, Sue at The Coolest Giveaways... just bought some Quarantine graduation sweatshirts and they were SOO cute! I'm about to buy some more. Great quality products. I highly recommend. Karen
