thanks all - that's helpful - I think I might give folksy a go

I've been on both Folksy and Etsy for several months now. Etsy is huge, and easy to get lost in, and of course American which can complicate sales. I prefer Folksy as it's British, and also the forums are really friendly on there. It is however considerably smaller and less well known!

I have bought stuff from etsy - all lovely but have been stung badly on one occasion with customs charge (didn't mention that in shipping info!). Folksy has a lovely range of things and is less mind boggling.

thanks baytree - will check it out...folksy seems more 'cosy' and user friendly,also a bit about dollars...

i have shop on both etsy and folksy. I think Etsy is bigger or perhaps more popular but the prob is there are too many sellers...i have yet sold a single item ...

Have solod a few on Folksy so far so i prefer folksy.

Visit my shop so perhaps it will give u some ideas?
