I opened a shop on Zibbet about 2 1/2 years ago. My Zibbet shop was opened within a month of my Etsy shop. So both opened about the same time.

It was promised by several Zibbet emails, messages, forums, etching, that it would exceed Etsy's 'status' and would become the new and improved Etsy with an increase in sales vs Etsy.

Here I am, almost 3 years later... Zibbet sales, 3, Etsy sales around 300! Along with over 200 some 5 star ratings.

I had to dump my 'elite' year membership fees for Zibbet when they unexpectedly charged us for another year we did not want to pay for even when we sent a letter stating we no longer wanted the premium acct. That took a while to sort out and get our money back.

So my shop is still up, just not under the premium membership, (which made no difference at all) and actually I forgot I had a shop there for a while until I read some of these posts. (And was secretly charged for another year).

Im still making sales on Etsy. I haven't checked my Zibbet page in SEVERAL months until recently, I STILL find no sales (except the story below), a whole new 'navigation system that I can't figure out, and a sale for one of my custom made products that I actually made just to find out that the person never paid.

That was over 8 mths ago and it still shows up under 'not shipped' which makes my shop look bad

To get to my point, plain and simple... WHATEVER HAPPPENED to this new Zibbet site 'promising to surpass Esty within a year or so... which was said almost 3 years ago? The time AND money I spent on Zibbet is something I will NEVER GET BACK.

What happened to the new 'revolutionary' site that would surpass Etsy and help home businesses thrive? I wasted more money than I made.

****UPDATE****2 days after my review they FINALLY sent me an email about their new and improved relaunch (4yrs in the making) and to be honest... I haven't even looked at my site yet because I could care less. That's how much that site means. $79 down the drain, wait $9 in sales... so $70 gone. Why even bother looking when nothing has even happened for 3 years since I opened it?
