I love etsy and I have bought many things on the site. Some of the purchases I've been happy with were xmas presents for family and jewelry for me. The quality can vary from seller to seller ...some sellers are just weekend crafters and some sellers are high end artists.
If you are in need of a laugh, whenever I'm in a bad mood, I visit regretsy.com
have fun,

Looks like a fun site, and I'll look.
I did some strolling thru etsy.com last night. I did find an Ebay seller selling his small jewelry items like pierced earrings for $12 on Etsy when he sells them on Ebay for $13.50!!!! Yeah...little eye opener for us all.
Since I seem to not know the tricks for winning bids on Ebay without using Snipe.com, I'm pretty burned out there. Plus, I've bid on, for instance, a nice looking Eileen Fisher top and skirt outfit on Ebay and, when it arrived, it was PILLED all over! Crook!!!!
So, I'm not so enamored with Ebay anymore.
However, in fairness, I've also received things in great order from honest salespersons there.
Amazon.com, however, I've never had a problem with and it appears from the posters here that Etsy.com is, also, reliable....great deal!!!
