Re: Business on Etsy Compared to Ebay?
Et.sy is simply... different. For me anyway
I find I can charge more on et.sy, customers are nicer and more tolerant of delays. Never once had anyone try to scam me on Et.sy. But I've been shut down multiple times on Et.sy, where as I still have my original eb.ay account with perfect feedback score.
Some products sell more on et.sy, some sell more on eb.ay. Eb.ay I get my funds instantly rather than 3 days later, but eb.ay fees are much higher, I'm forced into a returns policy etc.
In terms of sales though for me its 50/50, eb.ay just seems more reliable long term. I do however hate that on eb.ay I'm lumped in with the Chinese sellers. My personal buying experiences are generally bad, and so I would never recommend eb.ay to anyone, which is a shame considering it makes up such a large percentage of my sales, it could be so much more if eb.ay had a positive selling image. Honestly can't wait for the day I don't have to use eb.ay
It's just another selling platform really, more sales is always good right?
