I absolutely love Etsy! There are so many unique vintage handmade crafts. The clothes, jewelry and bath and beauty products are amazing!!

I love to browse and shop on Etsy for a few reasons, a lot of things are handmade and fresh, and can be made to your needs/specifications.

It has really cool, creative, interesting, trendy and new things that you would not find in stores.
I can waste hours on there just looking at things.

The one thing I hate is the shipping, it is too often so high, it discourages me. Besides one experience, most other I had on there was good, nice products and also customer service.

I loved Etsy! You can buy unique handmade and customized items. I've bought countless gifts on there and I'm not going to lie a ton of stuff for myself too (they have amazing jewelry). It's also great for party decorations and invitations, it's a must

I love etsy! I also think that buying from there help the creative people flourish and do what they love.

Buy responsibly, Buy local.

Love this site for all things crafty and handmade...Check it out!

Just wish the shipping would be cheaper

I love Etsy and have used it a few times. I just find you have to make sure you really look into each store/owner to make sure they have good Reviews, ratings to get the most for your money and a reliable product. Shipping also depends on where the seller is compared to your location. If you want reasonable shipping time then it's best to only buy from sellers in the same country as you. Otherwise it can take some time to get to you. And i agree with another reviewer that some sellers are just re-packaging cheap stuff from over seas to pawn off as their own product. So REALLY look into the merchandise because I've found some of the same things cheaper on other sites etc. But there are some honest and great homemade finds on it for special gifts for yourself and others.

The customer service sucks. Some of the buyers sell knock-off products that were bought in China and claim that they made it themselves.

Love this site. Unique products and the shipping has always been reasonable.

Etsy is a fabulous place to buy handmade diy and crafts. I love the fact you get to support small business and the same time getting great quality and earthy goods. Make sure that you check the sellers feedback though so that you don't get burned on your purchases.

As much as I've heard people bash the prices on etsy, I love it! The prices are paying for artisan work and I think it's worth it if you find what you like. I think the customer service is just great and I love everything I get on there!I love their review system as well.
