Comments on: I’m off Etsy http://verybigblog.com/2009/06/29/im-off-etsy/ Helping Clog Up The Internet Since 2002 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:44:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Eliza http://verybigblog.com/2009/06/29/im-off-etsy/comment-page-1/#comment-9738 Eliza Sun, 02 May 2010 23:38:41 +0000 http://verybigblog.com/2009/06/29/im-off-etsy/#comment-9738 Etsy is a clique of people who have blogs and promote only their friends. Sort of like a High School lunch table. Your in our out. The mean thing is, after you pay Esty to list your work, they send you mass emails pushing you to buy from selected crafters. I emailed them and asked if they would stop sending me emails to buy other peoples stuff and send those people emails to buy my stuff. They are unfair, and if Etsy insists on only promoting their pet crafters, then perhaps Etsy should only have their "select" sell on the site. People are realizing this and like you are moving to other "FAIR" selling sites, like Artfire and BigCartel. Have you seen the little clique etsy blogs? Look around, you'll want to barf.

I didn't buy one (I bought your book instead) but popped back this morning to take another look and bam! All gone. Shop emtpy. I'll make sure I check out Artfire asap. Silly etsy. Their loss.

WTF? I've been a fan of yours since loooong before Etsy came along (I found Pixel Decor via Domeorama). Ah, well Etsy's loss. :smack: User complaints? WTF?
