What is Etsy?
You can think of Etsy as the eBay for handmade goods.
Sellers' have their own Esty micro-sites, which allow them to showcase their goods, describe their store and introduce themselves to consumers. Opening your Esty shop is free, but sellers are charged $0.20 per listing (expires after 4 months) and 3.5% of the amount paid by the buyer (including shipping fees).
The site curates sellers' offerings into categories
